Speaking of babies and dresses: In Newport, Bertha wears a lacy white number (sneaking into the Astors’), and I caught myself noticing that Bertha’s midsection seems drastically increased. Am I the only one who didn’t know that Coon was pregnant during filming? She’s probably close to 8 months in this scene. The… Read more
Those fires are a reminder that humans have been causing climate change for a loooiong time. People were cutting down so many trees that it changed how the land held onto heat. And of course the bridges were wooden and when they lit up no one could get out.
Oh my god, my jaw literally dropped several times at the costumes this episode. Those dresses, especially Bertha’s and Marian’s, are perfect eye candy. That expression still doesn’t do it justice...what’s better than eye candy? Eye donuts?
I think Marion will finally decide to say Yes, run to Raikes and find him and Sissy in a passionate embrace. Or at least I hope she does before they marry, otherwise the embrace might happen afterwards leaving her to run back to her aunts, or Pennsylvania. Read more
I agree, actors with the caliber of Nixon and Baranski need to be able to do more than just-gasp!- leave the house. I still don’t care much about Marian’s problems, but I do find the thinly contained playboy in Raikes to be intriguing. Read more
I know Bertha rightly has this contest locked down, but narratively, my favorite dress this week was the one Agnes wore when she barged into the traitorous luncheon. It has a vaguely military vibe, and she looked very powerful crossing the street (no horse dared to trample her!). But then when she entered the house,… Read more
I think Raikes will only serve to prove Agnes is right about him. He’s moving up in the world, fast, and he will on from Marian and break her heart before the end of the season.
Wait holy fuck it could’ve been Amanda Peet? No offense to Peet, but...thank god it turned out the way it did.
I like the idea, but I've had it backfire much of my life. I'm confident and direct, but as a minister I get flack if I'm not doing enough to make people like me. In my position everyone around me really is evaluating me all the time. What do you do with that if you are not worrying what others think, but your job… Read more
I really wasn't sure what they were going to do. I don't think they would kill Jesse, but it's not inconceivable. That was one ballsy scene.

I also think that "seen at the crime scene" is a decent assumption but I actually think that he killed Victor more to teach Jesse and Walt a lesson, than for that reason alone. It's like how you can punish a very moral kid by doing something insanely unfair to someone else in front of him. I'm sure there are many… Read more
Even though I knew Victor was going to not be around very long once he told Mike he was seen at the murder scene, and even though I knew Walt and Jesse weren't going to get killed right there in the lab, and even though Gus changed into killing clothes and picked up a box cutter it was still a shock when Gus brutally… Read more
Remember that book on Pablo Escobar Hank got Walt Jr.? I think there is a photo that has Fring in it, and that is going to be the catalyst of something. I have thought that for a long time.
Gus is a control freak, so I think the fact that his lieutenant had memorized the cook without his say so and had the balls to try and make a batch on his own coupled with his complete fucking up of protecting Gail and sweeping the crime scene put him on the expendable list.
I wonder if this was, at least a little, because people had seen him at the crime scene too. We don't know what Mike said on the phone.
It's because he was seen at the murder scene. Either way, HOLY SHIT.
I couldn't believe he fucking killed Victor. Holy fuck. I was bugging out.
get back to work…
Gustavo Fring, running shit from behind the wheel of a Volvo like a motherfucking BOSS. Buggin' Out is on some serious slow-burn shit. the most intense hour of TV is officially back in full effect.
