“Come closer to the godess...”
if only there was some well-known voice actor with an established track record of playing Nintendo characters
Violent hatred and American culture go together like peanut butter and chocolate and have since the beginning. It’s a potentially humanity ending problem.
It seems like, while these streaming companies have metrics that they can quantify what brings in new subscribers, they have dick all understanding on how to keep the customers they have. Getting rid of content is a quick way of making people leave the platform, especially people who only have it for the niche…
One quote closely associated with Walt-the-invincible-badass is “I’m the one who knocks”. And it’s a lie: Jessie was the one who knocked on Gale Boetticher’s door and then shot him because Walt himself was about to be killed. Blowing up Gus was something Hector did (admittedly, with lots of help from Walt he couldn’t…
Loved the prison bus scene.
It was beautiful how even when Walter got past the "time travel isn't scientific" rant, his one thing he wishes he could change was grey matter. That's just who Walter was in the end. A man hung up on one bad business decision decades ago.
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…
Another note - when Jimmy asked Walt about regrets, Walt looked at the watch Jesse gave him on his birthday (implying Walt probably regretted handing Jesse over to Jack).
Kim was the one juror Jimmy needed to convince. Saul utters one last “It’s showtime!” (à la All That Jazz) shortly before giving a word-for-word encore of his earlier performance to convince the prosecutor that Saul had a chance at a hung jury, then he zigs instead of zags and begins his confession to the judge—but…
“You never know with good behavior.” No matter how many wrong, selfish decisions one has made in their life, there is always room for growth. You have to accept the repercussions of your past, of course, but what solace comes out of any situation if you don’t see the opportunity for growth in it. Some people never…
I have always found the concept of regret, roads not taken and time travel incredibly emotional if done well. This episode hit all three so hard and upon reflection it wrecked me harder then the Titanic. Goddamn it Vince you managed a plausible semi redemption and kinda happy ending. Bravo!
The grifter era of America started in, like, 1619
I am both envious of and happy for future binge-watchers of this show who will be able to watch these last b&w episodes with no commercials. I didn’t know the show’s title until just now, (good title btw) but it could easily have been “Breaking Bad part 2" because Gene really, for a second there, both considered using…
The thing is, the plan is so fucking easy. Here, I’ll do it for them:
“It’s very similar to the structure Alan Horn, [former Disney CEO] Bob Iger and Kevin Feige put together very effectively at Disney,” said Zaslav not realizing that you actually need someone like Kevin Feige to run this kinda thing, the MCU was a one in a million gamble and the fact is that part of the reason the MCU…
There is a lot to unpack with how amazing the episode was but it must be said... the editing was on fire this episode! The transitions from past to present especially the one with the shallow grave was some of the best editing in either series. Bravo editor!
