"…and breakfast."

I'm pretty sure Walt won because Bryan Cranston's name came before Giancarlo Esposito's name in the credits. Walt never came across anyone who wasn't a thousand times tougher, smarter, and more capable than he was, including the potted plant he tried to throw through Ted's window.

Donna's not above the occasional error of this sort—-I blame that on the turnaround time for these reviews.

In that one of these things is something that's happening in my real life that I watch TV to escape, and one of them isn't, it's kind of the definition of escapism, for me. I suspect that the fanbase has a lot more people who have troubled relationships with their families than people who are at "don" level in a drug…

I see where you're coming from. But for me—-I suspect for many of us—-the Chuck stuff is really heavy. It's indisputably well done, but 44 minutes a week of brothers trying to destroy each other in the least-fun-way possible…it would be too much. And it's not like they can realistically give Jimmy a B-plot while he…

One of the most compelling criticisms of "Breaking Bad" I've ever heard is that it's got a borderline-"Reefer Madness" attitude toward the effects drugs will have on your life. My (late) mother was pretty moralistic about drugs and crime, and I can just picture her now:

Staying out of the Chuck mishegaas entirely this week, here are three random things I loved:

And to have a kid of her own, who presumably would have called him Pop-Pop-Pop!

It's not explicit, but I would guess years before the cold open of tonight's episode.

I always picture him taking a business card that has both the name "Jimmy McGill" and the show's logo on it and marking it up Lionel Hutz style. "Jimmy McGill? No! You'd better call me Saul! It says here right on this card!"

I assumed the random redshirt (Ximenez, the driver?) was going to get killed somehow. Steven Bauer is such a unique screen presence—-so goofy, and yet menacing, but not in a "this guy is acting so goofy, and it's so incongruous that it becomes menacing" kind of way. The goofiness and the menace are just on whole…

I really hope not.

I'm almost sure. In the Breaking Bad episode where Gus's partner Max is killed, Gus is clearly an outsider to Eladio's organization, selling drugs on Eladio's turf—-that's why Max is killed. He is not a "star earner" for Don Eladio before his partner is killed.

Yeah, I think this is the real crux of what separates me from people who hate Chuck, and I respect that it probably comes down to you guys having more faith than I do in people's ability to change. Chuck looks at Jimmy and sees Saul Goodman. You look at Chuck feeling that way and think, "What an asshole! Have some…

Yeah, I had misremembered. My thought was that Tuco was going to jail for the assault plus having a gun, and that Hector just wanted Mike to drop the gun charge—-and that Mike had planted the gun on Tuco. But, of course, Mike did not do that—-Tuco actually did have the gun.

Fair point. I think of it as a southern-U.S.-ism, and my line of thought was that Ed Sheeran would think a Canadian would say that, because we're America's hat.

I may have overstated the degree to which he's a "regular" commentator here, if both you and the Ayatollah are unfamiliar with him. To his credit, he posts under his real name and, when it comes to Neil's work, only fights with the most blatant trolls. Being a famous person's kid brings its advantages, but I can't…

Here's a weird one.

(Sorry, I know his son is or was a regular commentator here, but this is hardly anything he hasn't heard before.)

That was by Chuck Lorre?! That's insane.
