I’ve been predicting for years that the twist will be that Kim actually was still with Saul during the events of Breaking Bad (and we just never saw her because we never saw much of Saul’s personal life), and she reunites with Gene during the post-BrBa timeline.

Yes, yes, let’s all talk to Zoidberg.

While all Portishead is excellent driving music, The Rip is up there at the very top for night driving on forest roads. I forget they exist for years at a time and when reminded, they go on rotation for the next month or so. New rotation begins now.

I would watch the shit out of seven Brad Dourifs.  

Did AV Club kill their weekly Reasonable Discussions post a while back and I just happened to miss it?

He is pretty terrible in Punisher, no doubt, and he’s horrible in Westworld, as well. Having said that, I saw a YouTube video of him reading thirst tweets and he seems both sweet and deeply humble.

We buy those, as well, and find them almost as tasty as when we get them from our neighbor with chickens. I also love the little insert that introduces one of the hens that comes in each carton.

Only as an occasional guest to voice their craziest thoughts, me thinks. She may be blond, which we know is their preferred, but she’s definitely not camera friendly. I mean, the size of her neck alone pretty much disqualifies her as a Fox regular.

No joke.  I saw a preview for it the other night and it looked laughably stupid.  I’m kinda surprised to see it here as the top pick.

Your criticism is valid. I think because we spent so much time with Miranda in the series, they chose to do a deeper dive but did leave off the detail needed to pull it together for viewers.  I don’t think it was intentional, but rather an oversight.  

As another book reader, I couldn’t agree more on how much I love the Kirsten/Jeevan change from the book. This last episode with Frank and Kirsten’s interactions, even moreso.

It’s me.  For her purses alone, I stan QEII forever.  

I’m actually thankful for the spoilers in this recap. Knowing Big dies toward the end of the episode, I thought I was prepared. I watched it during my lunch hour and it still hit me like a freight train. I guess I thought it would be handled “lighter”, which is silly in hindsight, but took me a good ten minutes to…

You’re not wrong. It does seem deeply weird and kind of out of nowhere. These shows were both top notch entertainment when I was a kid, but the writing wasn’t great, so how are they going to polish up these turds?

Please do find a way to watch it at some point. I promise you won’t be disappointed. There isn’t a single actor on the series that didn’t go all in and they were all so fakking talented.

Brenda’s growth throughout the series is really something else. I despised her in the first couple of seasons, but by the end, I knew her and accepted she was just Brenda. She would be the last person to say she wasn’t deeply fucked up.  

They do still have potato cakes at the Arby’s up here in the PNW!  Those and the Jalapeno Poppers are the last tasty things on the menu.

Interesting!  I knew Carl’s Jr wasn’t a national chain, but I REALLY thought Jack in the Box was everywhere. Truly, you’re not missing too much - it may be nostalgia coloring those fond memories.  

Oh, BK used to also have a grilled chicken sandwich that was super tasty.  Was it maybe called the BK Broiler?  I think that was the one.  Loved it!

This was discontinued in the mid-90s and is certain never to return, but the Ham & Turkey Melt from Jack in the Box remains my all-time favorite fast food sandwich.  WHY did they discontinue it when I, alone, could have kept that income rolling in?
