They both would ideally be performed by Benedict Cumberbatch.

Yeah, he could have played regretful instead of callous. It would have fixed the Irene problem without completely destroying his reputation.

Humanizing Chuck has always been one of this show's greatest accomplishments. He's one of my all-time most hated characters in any show, but I cried serious tears to watch him go like that. Passive suicidality is something many people don't recognize as such, but as soon as I heard him kick, I knew what was going on.…

Having a year-old movie in the "new releases" shelf is the most Blockbuster thing imaginable.

Some of the Mike and Gus scenes dragged on, but everything with Jimmy, Chuck, Kim, and Howard has been A++.

The self loathing on his face says it all. He knows he deserves it. I recognize some of my own depression in that performance.

This episode reminded me a lot of Bojack.

All of that was foreshadowed by Kim trying to pay Hamlin off and Hamlin tearing up the check.

It was so brilliantly done. Everyone is all OMG THE LAST EPISODE IS LANTERN!!!!! CHUCK'S HOUSE IS GONNA BURN DOWN!!! so of course that's not what's gonna happen, right? Classic Gilligan fakeout. And up till the last third of the episode, the lights are on, Chuck is in recovery doing well, how could they possibly…

"Run for Your Life" is a very subtle and nuanced song.

I'd forgotten about that. Disgusting.

John didn't know what the fuck love was, as anyone who's listened to Rubber Soul in it's entirety can tell you. The man completely abandoned his son Jules, and Yoko was 100% ok with that.

Wubbalubbalub-dub!

I mean, she didn't break up the Beatles, but she's still perfectly awful. Not as bad as John. They certainly deserved each other.

Don't let those meanies upthread tell you that you don't know sarcasm. That was a choice zinger.

Ah, more like wistful regret than self-loathing. Definitely hidden depths though. He's become one of my favorite characters.

He's got some pretty good covers picked out. Tributes to his influences. Like Nirvana Unplugged, only slightly less unplugged.

That's an awful lot of Russian propaganda you're spewing. Dropping Pizzagate references like that's a real thing, and not a confirmed hoax. How's the weather in Vladivostok?

Wow, that's some crazy shit. Kinda sorry I missed all that.

And he managed to take his wife to Jamaica! Stan couldn't pull that off with Sandra, even with the private cabana.
