I’m sure there’s some shitty business reason for this, but aside from The A.V. Club asides, the most common comment tends to be “The only reason I come here is for the comments.” They’re going to lose business simple as that.

I used to have a grudging respect for O’Leary back when he was on Dragon’s Den (earlier Canadian version of Shark Tank, which Robert Herjavek was also on), just because sometimes people need to be genuinely eviscerated out of bad ideas that are bankrupting their families and life savings before they’ll finally stop…

Much as I’m not a fan of brutal violence, I was fully expecting to see Walt into one of those barrels alive. Unpleasant to watch, but fits the concept, I think. I more or less agree with the crowd who thinks he got off pretty easy.

I know someone around the same age who’s never seen the show, never had any desire to see the show, and even tonight as I was watching the BCS finale for the first time, when Walt would come on, I’m like ‘Dude, I wish you would see that this is you’.

Yes, or that if you’re going to acknowledge one, at least acknowledge the other. Walter is a hapless, bitter nerd who is way out of his element, but gradually uses his knowledge to take down some of the largest obstacles, which is a ‘put-upon’ fantasy. It’s also a wildy entertaining, wildly put-together show that’s…

When Saul brings up how he had no idea of this and would have worked with him to sue them (to which Walt replies he’s the last lawyer he’d hire for that), it reminded me of how I *thought* BB was going to end after the penultimate episode, at least emotionally.

Glad someone else took the Of Mice & Men take, as opposed to the ‘Mike turning evil’ take, which .. is well, completely wrong, in my opinion.

Forgive my years-later response - and I do believe in the premise of Walt always being an asshole deep down - I don’t think this is a good example. That kid was being a proper shitbird to him, dragging his chair loudly across the room when Walt exasperatingly told him to switch seats. I think that was meant to show…

Like, sorry to rant, but I just searched ‘better call saul tv review winner’ and the first match was a picture of RuPaul.

This is *completely* unrelated, but I finally finished Better Call Saul, and have always enjoyed the reviews of episodes, which exist, which they advertise as ‘TV show reviews’, which list the seasons and the episodes, in order, and you can’t f”””ing click on them. First World problem, but it’s absolutely driving me…

Coming at this a couple of years late, but I heard someone say that Gus was defeated by cunning, and Mike was defeated betrayal. I know that sounds a bit trite considering the scenes with the peephole stuffed animal and the like. But I like the idea, and the brief shot of the trees with Walt marching one way through…

“Hi, Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins’

“Homer Simpson, Smiling Politely.”

(Separately, there HAS to be a Pumpkins cover band out there with that name.)

Came here to say that, thanks. Lisa Simpson “cleaning up the mess of the Trump administration” is one thing, but ‘wouldn’t it be cool if we reenacted this scene’ is not.

Clooney likely was, though!

That sounds .. very foreign, but I’ll take your word for it. I’ll reiterate that I’m not/wasn’t in the outrage side of this, but seeing a bunch of naked kids to sell Happy Meals seems .. excessive.

That was fantastic. Thank you for that.

I’m curious to hear more about that?

What I took from this at the time was American politics eating itself.

“If you don’t talk soon, I’mma have to show you my ass.”

It felt a bit inspired at first, and it was slowly like ‘Wait, he’s just playing a completely different character in every scene?’, which would be everyone’s general theme for the rest of the series.
