AMC: the connoisseur’s choice

Was keeping Huell from destroying his future by running to escape jail really “evil?” I don’t think his hitting someone who he thought was accosting Jimmy was evil, either.

“I’ll use all this money to buy a boat: the Live-4-Ever.”

I wish they’d give the beret girl a name. She’s been in like six episodes and I am pretty sure she is still only credited as Make-Up Girl.

Not that she’s doing any bad whatsoever in banking law...

I really didn’t think this would ever become the Kim Wexler show to any significant degree, but actress Rhea Seehorn is kind of walking away with it, man.

Wait, now, I was told gender was a social construct, and biology has nothing to do with whether or not one identifies as a man or a woman. So how could men go extinct? Or is some sort of trans-exclusionary radicalism at work here? Someone, please let me know how outraged I should prepare to be.

I thought of this too; he will forever be Slim Charles to me (not to demean the actor’s fine real-world motivational speaking efforts).

This is written like I’m supposed to think “poor Eileen” when the producer offers her money for sex. She needs the money to...make a project where she, herself, will offer the actors money to have sex. The message here is not “poor Eileen,” but: your business is bad and you should feel bad.

Reviews like this make me feel that this series pulls off thrilling, stylish action sequences with beautiful artwork and cool music and no one cares any more because the show has been doing it for years. Every review becomes more of a meta-review about what kinds of episodes it should be doing instead, or what the…

You must have forgotten your pimp hat!

“I don’t know if that’s an artistic choice or a financial one”

Unless you think they don’t pay themselves, the answer is clearly that it’s an artistic choice.

Money isn’t Gus’s motive. It’s revenge vs. the cartel. This is clearly shown on Breaking Bad.

“living legend, Dan Rather” Dan Rather is in disgrace and Redford isn’t. No comparison.

The show is still excellent; James Franco is still the worst part; there’s still an awful lot of James Franco, pound for pound.

I want to say this is the best episode of the series. Certainly the direction is such that it is hard to imagine improvement. It is almost as if the series steps further and further back from Jimmy as he digs this hole deeper, and observes him more and more dispassionately. And it is a smaller, sadder, more human…

Yeah—I saw a boner, but not a joke.

“their agenda” being anti-child pornography? That seems to really hack you off.

FYU Miller is a Jew and would have zero interest in “white power”—as those types don’t like Jews. Is this really not obvious to everyone??

“That wasn’t the path that the real-life Piper Kerman took, translating her experience being incarcerated into advocacy for prisoners’ rights.”

The real Piper Kerman has been wiped out by a sort of hagiography. I was following her story at the time. She and her oh-so-wacky Jewfro-ed boyfriend started a cray-zy hip and…
