It says he (Fallon) participated by emailing her on Sanz’s behalf, so that’s not just being a bystander.

At first I was like that’s interesting, as I can’t really imagine Jimmy Fallon committing a sexual assault. But then I saw the claim was that he enabled it and immediately was like oh yeah I totally see that.

I think John Waters was speaking for us all when he said, “I hate the general public!”

Extremely online pop-culture nerds like us tend to overestimate how much the general public resembles our bubble. “I don’t know anyone who’s excited about HotD,” we’d say, forgetting that there are millions of people out there we don’t know and that our social circles aren’t representative of the population at large.

There were more than a few people here that were very adamant that the GOT IP was dead, that the final seasons had poisoned the well, and the House of Dragons was going to be DOA.

Were they valid reasons though? Chuck resented Jimmy for what happened in his dad’s store but Jimmy was a child.

I think Chuck is a fascinating example of how basing your actions off the most rational endpoint in your personal logic can ironically bring out the worst in a person. No matter how justified your anger may be, sometimes it’s just easier to let go instead of influencing someone you don’t believe can change.…

I’m mixed on the BB finale. On one hand, Walt gets what he deserves - miserable, lonely, hated by his son, feared by his wife. But there’s still too much Super Walt with the machine gun bit, strong-arming Elliot and Gretchen to get Jr the money, etc.

Yeah, I didn’t remember the details , but I knew Walter was full of shit.

Not really interested in a Kit Harrington Jon Snow story.

You can be excited by Gus or Lydia’s deaths and still not root for the dude that poisoned a child to get what he wants

Everyone thinks they’d be a cool famous or rich person.  Facts speak otherwise.

Which makes the fact that, even in his big redemptive moment, Jimmy makes it clear that the Great and Mighty Heisenberg was actually, for the most part, haplessly out of his depth and would have wound up dead in a ditch or in a jail cell if not for Saul Goodman. One last little fuck you to Walter, it seems.

Oh, could be. By “take Walt’s side on everything” I was thinking more of how much shit Skyler (and Anna Gunn) seemed to always get from some of the more toxic members of the fandom.

I think it was also fitting how Saul remembers the worst parts of Walt. It's stark contrast to Jesse remembering a largely happy meeting with Walt in the ending of el camino. Saul has good reason to remember to worst of Walter. Jesse had his issues with Walter, but he also had a lot of good left in his memories. 

Sepinwall made what I thought was a very interesting point: "Sometimes, when spinoffs bring back characters from the parent series, it’s to remind you of why you liked them in the first place. Both of Walt’s appearances here have instead played up his most insufferable qualities, giving you the worst version of Walter…

The fact that he kept tinkering with the water heater, making a mild nuisance into an unbearable racket is classic Walter White.

It’s kind of nice that, as it turns out, what is almost certainly our last glimpse of Walter White in this world isn’t the Nazi-killer super-scientist managing to effortlessly outwit his enemies one last time, but the pompous, bitter and frustrated pedant who can’t even let a harmless thought experiment about time…

Tighten up on your puns; they’re everywhere to me.

They all think they are the ones that are too smart to get scammed.
