I totally agree. I also lump those folks in with the “somebody will do something” crowd. If the woman is going to die, somebody will do some thing! If my daughter was raped, somebody will do some thing! If the baby has a huge abnormality, somebody will do some thing! I’ve run into those people so many times. No, in…

Soooo men are basically white women?

It’s like they all missed the day in kindergarten when normal people learn that actions have consequences. “Oh, woah is me, we allowed are party to move so far to the right that we now only appeal to a small subset of Americans, whatever shall we do?” ... and then they throw their hands up and do nothing as usual.

I like that the reason D.C. residents don’t deserve to have representation to the Congress that imposes taxes on them (I forget my history....didn’t we fight a war over some bullshit like that?) is because if D.C. residents are allowed to choose their representation, they will never choose Republicans.  I guess at…

I didn’t sense urgency so much as rage; whatever happened in that phone conversation left him angry and helpless in the way one would when their ex says “hell no we’re not getting back together.” The mall scam gave him a sense of power and control, and after calls with Francesca and Kim he realizes he has absolutely…

I don’t think he needs the money for anything; once he gets it, he socks it away and doesn’t look at it again. He’s simply backsliding into Slippin’ Jimmy because it gives him a sense of control over his life.

Safe to say Kim’s co-worker at the sprinkler store did not inform Gene that she had been kidnapped by the cartel or was in some other peril, (causing Gene to...scream and yell angrily?)

Francesca was much more pleasant when she was working for Wexler / McGill. It seems pretty clear that all the shit Saul has had her pull has embittered her a lot.

That’s a good observation. Other than the Mike and Saul conversation, I didn’t feel like the flashbacks added a whole lot-- a slightly different perspective on the kidnapping scene from the “Better Call Saul” episode, but that’s all. But metaphorically speaking, I agree that it’s intended to be analogous to Gene…

It was definitely a new scene. I thought Paul’s voice sounded much deeper and like he was struggling to get words out for some reason— like he was sedated or had a Vito Corelone-like jaw or something.

The best line of that whole scene was when Jesse asked, “Who’s Lalo?”

I have to watch all this again, but all of the new BrBa-era scenes are hammering the same point over and over again — offscreen during the events of the original “Better Call Saul” episode, Saul was given a flood of red flags about working with Walt and Jesse, even more so than we understood at the time. In the…

Matt Smith’s already played one:

Fuck anyone who uses the term woke. That is what you mean.

Also, female children of kings claiming their father’s throne over a more distant relative isn’t some woke fairy tale. It’s a real thing that happened (see the case of Empress Maud).

My best guess here is that she just felt like it would be impossible to go about working in Albuquerque law without being constantly reminded of the things she and Jimmy had done re: Howard and the cover-up. And I wouldn’t be surprised if she left Albuquerque, too. (The theories people have that “Gene” relocated to…

Yes, I think the point was that this was as exposed as Gus was willing to be. He was willing to subtle suggest that David might come to his house and try the wine that David had talked about. When David said he hoped Gus would tell him what the wine was like when he tried it, Gus took that as a rejection of his offer.…

These folks think it’s fine and dandy for anti-abortion protesters to hang out in hordes in front of planned parenthood, shrieking at people who are getting cancer screenings. But they become absolutely *aghast* at the idea that protesters can interrupt their fancy meals.

Laughed so hard at “Applebees for people who tuck their shirts in.”  But, yeah, fuck off with your right to privacy Kavanaugh. 

Anson Mount absolutely crushed it as Pike during Discovery S2 and it’s arguably the best of Discovery’s 4 seasons.  Watching Michelle Yeoh vamp it up doesn’t hurt either.
