You justify it because you don’t want to live in a communist free-for-all mess where you can never know if the food you need to make the meal you were planning is even going to be there.

I did not like the ending or musical choice. It’s already annoying to play “under pressure” loudly when the characters are experiencing a tense situation. But then they looped it like 3 times and faded the audio at parts and then turned it into a musical backdrop for random sex having.

Yeah that gag really got me too. 

I like the review, but I dislike the premise that the episode seems to argue and that you seem to endorse, which is “becoming older means, effectively becoming less open-hearted”. I don’t think Mr. Peanutbutter’s exuberance and decency is at all something that should be age-shamed out of him. 

Totally agree with this article. Netflix is dumb if they keep pushing intros/outros out as an option.

Just fyi, no foods are fair game in a roommate scenario. MAYBE salt/spices but you have to ask first.

Disagree about Gus. If lots of our characters in BB have fatal flaws Gus’s is vengeance. Gus is not a man who opens his heart easily. He cared about his fruit tree, and he cared about his Chicken Brother. The “animals” that come out and kill those things need, in his mind, to suffer and know they are suffering for…

Howard is probably my favorite character in the show because he’s such a fascinating contradiction of a character, and it is so wonderful to see Jimmy’s greatest act of kindness towards Howard is being suck a dick that Howard finally breaks his businessman facade and says “fuck you, Jimmy.” A firery response that…

No, that’s why they went through such lengths that the Germans have no idea where they are. What could they say “Yeah we worked digging a hole somewhere that was like a 6-8 hour drive from denver”? That’s like half the country.

Gus likes Mike because he’s no-nonsense, Gus like’s no-nonsense. French guy had a needlessly flashy measuring lazer and was blowing smoke about how easy this would be, and yapping about another job, that is not no-nonsense.

I have a hard time picturing Gus not knowing something, even if it’s a foreign language.

I took it as two things. 1. “Now here’s the story ‘bout how a man named Saul got his cell phones...” And also 2. This show is on season 3 episode 5 that’s kind of a midpoint place, a good place to put you right in the middle of Saul’s chaotic world. Something we didn’t expect to see again. It was just really a way to…

I can’t tell if you are right. In my first viewing I read it as sincere and Kim reacting poorly because Jimmy was so cold about it. The line about mom being so happy to have Jimmy didn’t ring with the same usually Chuck condescension I’m used to.

I think they were true, Chuck could never bring himself to say nice things to Jimmy that didn’t have passive aggressive tones all over them. I think the letter also gives context that it was written soon after Jimmy had been working in the mail room.

Interesting, I don’t think so personally, Chuck could never bring himself to say many nice things to Jimmy even in a bullshit way. There was always condescension seeping from every line. This letter, outdated as it may be, seems to be what earlier season’s Jimmy always was dying to hear, and now that he finally heard…

The most important part!!!

It’s frustrating that both this and last week’s review had mistakes like this.

Unless Chuck wrote it years ago I think there is no way it won’t be typical Chuck cruelty. Chuck’s way of speaking to Jimmy was pathological, he didn’t even recognize it in himself. Deep down Chuck had huge insecurities and his actions always came from that over compensation. Whether it was him denying his problems or…

He’s actually kinda my favorite character because of that nuance. On any simpler a show this guy would be a one note caricature, but while his instincts are all bad, and his vibe is all bad, deep under all that well practiced formality is an empathetic heart, which I find fascinating.

Howard is still so underrated. He still looks and seems like a slimeball but any scene that cuts deep show he’s a scared puppy of a robot who never knew how to be human in any other way than the artificial way his dad programmed him to be.
