Not only that, but when the cell phone technicians went around to verify Jay's route, only 4 of the 14 pings matched with the cell tower records.

But most of Jay's stories (all 6 or 7 of them) are not supported by the cell records. The prosecutor tried to sweep this under the rug by only focusing on a limited time frame. And the key time frame, the 7-9pm period when the records show the phone is in Leakin Park, is not supported by Jay's most recent version,…

Amen. If you're going to take the time to make a podcast about Serial, do some research. Of the many false things they said in this episode, the one that bugged me the most was the "animal rage" discussion. JAY was the one who used this phrase, not the Serial team. Here is Julie Synder's full quote from Episode 8:

I agree that this is not a good movie, but I don't think more humor or energy is the solution. I greatly enjoyed Fuqua's aesthetics here; they have never been better. I think the problem lies in the ending. (*vague spoiler ahead*) The film seems to take a moral turn in the 3rd act, depicting Denzel to be just as…

Hmm, could you elaborate on how those are such two different things?  Saul's advice is based on not only getting the money to Walt's family, but protect Skyler from serving time herself and splitting their family further apart.  If his ego would convince him to figure out something else in this situation, why wouldn't…

Well said—this makes sense and partly explains why I've had such a hard time getting a handle of Walt's motivations this season. I still feel like his love of family seemed to trump his ego (and vice versa) when the script needed it to continue the story (e.g. why didn't he follow Saul's advice and turn himself in…

What made this episode feel weird to me is how it undermines Walt's behavior in the past 2 episodes. We finally see Walt do selfless acts for his family in attempting to give up all his money for Hank and the protecting Skyler with the phone call, only to have this episode continuously remind us that he's in it for…

Geez, settle down. No need to chalk up our disagreement to a "disability" of mine. I do expect consistency from my characters, and I don't think that too much to ask. I understand that Huell is in over his head, and I maybe could've bought his break down if there was an additional scene or two. However, he flipped…

Maybe I'm wrong, but wasn't Huell and Kuby in the car when Saul told the Old Yeller story?

I agree completely.  One commentor over at Sepinwall's review summed this problem up nicely: "1) You work for a criminal lawyer that is constantly reminding clients NOT to talk to law enforcement officials.

I understand that people are complex and can have conflicting motivations, but I just feel like the writers haven't done a good enough job explaining how Skyler feels about Walt in the past few episodes.  All of their interactions in the past 90 mins of showtime have given the impression that she has completely…

OK, i have a little bit of bitching to do. Am I the only one who is confused by Skyler's motivations? It started with last season's finale, where the time jump prevented us from seeing how/why Skyler had a complete 180 on her feelings toward Walt. Ok fine, we come into this season accepting that Skyler is on board…

The volume is always low for me, but this one was especially bad. Combined with Kyle's bad habit of fading at the end of sentences, I couldn't understand half of it.
