Even more so - huge ranches have fewer people than do farms.

Having lived out West - those rural roads really are that empty. They are empty in a way that rural PA or Ohio or New England (where there are farms and farmers) are not. And one can see for many miles up and down the road. Presumably, if another car was on that road it would have been spotted many minutes before…

"Does it bother anyone else that *no one* is ever on the highway

Walt, like Chuck, was a malignant narcissist and not a psychopath.

Walter didn't intentionally hurt people who loved him. His many intended victims were mostly other criminals; the only exception I can think of is Jesse's girlfriend who had attempted to blackmail him. By the time he hurt innocent people, such as by poisoning the kid with the non-lethal dose or had Jesse kill his…

"They could get Jimmy on breaking into the house, and some kind of destruction of property, but I'm not sure what else. Am I missing something here?

Celine, of course.

"If you are an atheist and, like me, don't believe in the soul, then the conscious mind must simply be an emergent property of the physical body (with the brain surely playing the largest part); if you can fully replicate this somehow, then you can replicate a human.

But again, the digitized version is a copy, and not the original (as in the photograph).

Pixies were around in 87.

But that wasn't the process described here. The person's consciousness was copied onto a chip, which was then placed into the computer. The actual person is euthanized. The copy lives on in digital form. It may or may not be actually conscious as well, or just be a simulation of the dead person.

""prosecular"? You mean because there wasn't any religion in it? Charlie's English.

I didn't see the episode as endorsing the superficial afterlife as some sort of paradise - in fact, it strongly hinted that this was indeed a sort of hell. A brilliant episode.

Just watched it. It's beautiful and powerful, but seems to only superficially have a happy ending and to ultimately be tragic. There appear to be two possibilities:

Was this really a happy ending? Maybe I missed if there was an explanation about the options to leave, but it seems that they are trapped here in this man-made (and thus limited) "paradise" for eternity, unable to die. It's a beautiful place, but how will they feel after 100, 500, 1000 years. Kelly's husband was…

Beautiful and powerful episode. Not sure this was exactly a happy ending; Quagmire seemed to foreshadow the inevitable. San Junipero sounds like a paradise to be in for few weeks, months, maybe years. What will it be like to be here after 10 years? 100 years? 500? It is probably a trap, after all.

Jimmy seems to be a wolf in relation to other wolves (or would-be wolves, in the case of the greedy people he swindles) while looking out for sheep such as his elderly clients (or even the hapless skaters last season, who didn't deserve to die and who Jimmy took a risk in saving). In Breaking Bad we see him in mostly…

My memory might be fuzzy, but Jesse seemed like a self-destructive violent criminal thug to Saul, rather than an innocent. Saul (and Mike) seemed like the two characters in Breaking Bad who had some real moral sense.

I suppose that if Kim's original pitch was very HHM centered your point is correct. However the analogy with the coach is not quite congruent with what happened here. A coach recruiting a high school prospect makes use of the university's infrastructure (scouts and such ) to do so, and this activity is part of his…

HHM had the client purely due to Kim, and would never have been HHM's if not for Kim, who had gotten the client on her own time through her own connections. Thus, it was natural that the client would have gone with Kim as she left (as they had agreed to do, prior to Chuck's intervention). While what Chuck did was…
