I’m the opposite. Once Kim and Jimmy went down the Howard destruction route - and kept going despite many opportunities to abandon - I was pretty much done with happy endings for them. Sometimes the bad guys win, but in Breaking Bad that really doesn’t happen. Everyone goes down. (Jesse eventually came out, but he was…

I think they should have had made the Omaha scenes continuous. Maybe there could’ve been a couple flash-forwards at the beginning of the series, but otherwise I think they would have been better if we’d been “living” in Omaha for a bit before we got to him breaking bad. As it stands, it’s been two episodes of scams.…

This reminds me of the beginning episodes of Better Call Saul. He just kept making (obviously) bad decisions over and over. He was his own worst enemy.

Indeed. Everyone knows he should’ve referred to them as the proletariat.

This reminds me of the guy who was sentenced to be caned in Singapore for vandalism many years ago. There was a huge uproar, but the guy was guilty and he was caned. We don’t get to control what happens in other countries.

The rules the Biden administration objects to have nothing to do with school lunches, though. The headline is wrong and misleading.

I listened to the two songs included in the article. Yeah, I don’t get it either. I mostly thought they were boring.

According to IMDB, that’s it. Thanks for the recommendation!

If you can binge it that makes it easier. As others have said, it is a very slow show. And that’s really saying something considering there are only 10 episodes in most of the seasons. I’ve enjoyed it overall, but I don’t think it really compares to the excellence of Breaking Bad.

Looks like it’s based on a book so hopefully that will help.

Maybe so. But Del Toro’s argument seems to be based on a misunderstanding of the story. That doesn’t inspire confidence. It’s like Spielberg thinking it was a bad thing that Peter Pan finally left Neverland.

I only remembered it because I stumbled upon an article about the recasting. And even while reading that article I could barely remember the character. But it’s not a short memory; he last showed up more than two years ago.

I agree. I thought it was a well-done episode of suspense. However, I think almost all of the callbacks were lost of me. The reviewer references episodes from season 5 (aired two years ago), 3 (five years ago), and apparently the first season - I didn’t remember the ring and had to look up Marco (seven years ago!!).

I think they would have to do a lot over the next three episodes for Kim to get a happy ending. I don’t think it’s deserved at this point.

Knowing isn’t great, but I will always appreciate that they didn’t back down from the premise they presented. Rather, they followed it to its inevitable conclusion.

Pinocchio’s disobedience is only a virtue if you completely change the premise of the story. Which apparently is what Del Toro has decided to do. This sounds bad.

Same here (on the plan too). I also seem to get a lot of ads for dating services and they never have members of the opposite sex. Overall Hulu’s ads are terrible. They have way too many of them, especially considering what their regular price is for an ad plan.

I think it’s too little, too late at this point. I guess we’ll see where the show takes her, but her dark side (along with Jimmy of course) not only got a man killed, but ruined his legacy. She didn’t know the former would happen, but the latter was her exact intention.

There’s never been any romance to the guy so I don’t really get where people are coming from. I do wonder if what he told Walt was a lie. Either way I took the scene from this episode to just be about his inability to connect with anyone. He has an acquaintance that shares a common interest, but that’s as far as it…

And ole Billy apparently got his story from the same tale that inspired The Northman. The main character is named Amleth!
