To be honest, I was glad to see Walt put his scientific and technical genius to use again. It's been missing this season. It was also very fitting in the show, reminiscent of him going up against Gus.

And even then, sometimes that's not even needed. I know I watched the season Laura was in (Samoa), but even watching old clips from the show, I just have very little recollection of her ever playing. It's sort of unfortunate that, by casting women based on looks, they usually have to scrape...

When you return to Survivor, you have to have enough self-awareness to realize everyone is going to have familiarity with you and that you have to adjust your strategy to either be more subtle or just completely change how you play. I think this is especially true if you fall into the villain...

Walt wakes up in bed, turns on the lights, and exclaims, "Honey, wake up. You won't believe the dream I just had!" The woman next to him in bed sits up, revealing it to be Lois, who says, "Alright, Hal, what is it?" "I was a meth dealer in New Mexico!" "That settles it. No more Japanese...

Just the first half. They'll be eligible to be nominated for this set of 8 episodes next year. It's a loophole I suspect will be closed at some point since it allows a single season to get twice as many nominations. I think we knew that going into this episode, though. We knew Walt got a new...

I don't think there's been a clearer example of how much of a psychopath Todd is than that smirk on his face as Jesse reveals he killed Drew Sharp. He and Lydia would make a lovely couple.

The state of Walt's house in the flashforward would lead me to believe we already know the primary motivation for Walt returning to New Mexico. Though, the writers do like to misdirect.

I'd say one of the strengths of The Office and P&R was that they didn't rigidly define their characters and gave the actors a chance to figure out how they wanted to play them. Looking at the first seasons of either of those shows, and it's clear they were just cribbing what came before...

Make sure yourDVRs are set up accordingly:

Don't forget, prior to working for Gus, Jesse started cooking on his own. While the quality was never tested (and Walt dismisses it as "mediocre"), the meth he produced was blue, which means even before working in the superlab, Jesse was still better able to replicate Walt's formula than Todd...

I suppose you could make the argument that Skyler knows her sister well enough to know when she's being sincere, but I also think Skyler has been wanting to get out of this for a while. You could tell the guilt from the DVD was eating her up. It was one thing when she could just work at the...

I wish more MMOs would do that in general. There really isn't the same sense of danger nowadays since everything in the zone has to be level appropriate and the most difficult enemies are stuck behind a bunch of trash so you don't accidentally happen upon them. I also would've loved to see...

Mad Men's getting theBreaking Bad treatment: Not entirely surprising since it gives AMC a little more leeway. Prior to this decision, they were likely only to be left with The Walking Dead as their only successful original show once Mad Men ended next spring. Keeping Mad Men a little longer...

To be fair, Gus was just as good (maybe even better) at manipulating Jesse as Walt is. He did the whole song and dance about how he he'd stop using children in appeasement of Jesse's demands. At that point, Jesse was just led to believe that it was the dealers acting under their own volition...

I didn't gather that Walt took Holly with any foresight. I saw it as being Walt taking the one member of his family not to turn on him, perhaps partially as a means of revenge on Skyler. Walt was too angry and offended to be thinking rationally at that point. It was typical Walt acting first...

Just finished the episode... I think that's the best damn hour of television I've ever sat through.

At PAX, they said they haven't forgotten about the other Elder Dragons and that story content for them would be coming, but they really didn't lay out any time frame or exactly how they'd be added.

And now they've"suspended" all PvP content:

Back during City of Heroes, people would always complain about there being very little high-end content. The devs would respond to this by saying, "Very few people actually make it to level 50. It makes sense for us to focus our resources on the parts of the game most people are playing."...

Well, at least it will always have a ton of people online.

It worked for me for a while. I kept returning for the events to get the achievements and rewards. I still have for a couple of the more recent ones, and I have to say, they have been very well done, and Arenanet deserves to be commended on the speed at which they are adding content to the...

I think one of the advantages they have with it is they've barely gone into Saul's backstory at all. He mostly just serves as a bit of comic relief and takes care of the legal side of things when the plot calls for it. That gives them a lot of flexibility to fill in details as they please...

TheBetter Call Saulspin-off looks like it has been picked up by AMC. (No spoilers in the link, but it does reveal when the show will take place.)

Speaking of the phone, I found it odd that the scene with Andrea went nowhere. It was Walt's ploy to get Jesse out in the open that was instantly dismissed the next scene with Hank saying, "Nice try." It'd be one thing if we saw Jesse get the call and Hank have to talk him out of running over...

I do wonder about that one. The only reason Walt is of any value to the Nazis is because he's the only one that knows to make the meth blue (except for Jesse, but I can't recall if they were aware of that), something Lydia is insistent on. Perhaps they believe that, if Walt is out of the...

Agreed. Having Gomie suddenly working for the cartel when we've had no prior indications would've just amounted to being some deus ex machina bullshit designed to get Walt out of a tough position.

Walt has always had a tendency to react immediately and run off half-cocked. It is only when he has a chance to sit down and plan things out (usually when his back is against the wall) that we see his Heisenberg-level craftiness come out. The money is the most important thing to Walt at this...

It was never outright stated in the show, but seemed to be heavily implied. According toVince Gilligan:

Yeah, in previous seasons when someone like Jesse or Hank were in peril, I knew they'd pull through since they're major characters. Now? Anyone is fair game due to the show ending. If the scene with Jesse meeting Walt out in the desert aired a couple seasons ago, it would've been nowhere near...

I wish MMOs would move away from this model for dungeons. I understand the desire to have dungeons have a point and backstory, but there has to be a way to make them objective-based without turning them all into what essentially is linear corridors with little-to-no exploration. One of the...

Jesse's flaw has always been that the acts with his heart and not with his head. Going after Walt like this is very reminiscent of when he went after Gus's drug dealers when Andrea's little brother was killed. It makes him the most compassionate and easy to sympathize with of the characters...

That was also the impression I got. Since Hank had Jesse, there was no reason for him to lay all his cards out for Gomie and revealing that he's know about this for a while and has been investigating on his own. He could just approach it as Jesse coming to him to confess. The facts Gomie gets...

I have a feeling this was a "calm before the storm" episode. All of the pieces have been set up, allegiances have been established, and now everyone is moving onto the board.

I don't know about that. GW2 did do a good job of making the quest hubs less obvious, which changed the dynamic to where you didn't constantly feel like you were being lead around by your nose. I could see why some people would mistake that as the quest hubs not existing at all. While it's...

That seems to be the point though. They've designed a more difficult encounter with a chance at much better rewards. In my opinion, it's a step in the right direction since, up until this point, there have been few events in the game that are worth doing due to the fact that you're just...

It wasn't "Jesse's formula." Jesse taught Walt the basics of what he knew on how to make meth. Walt perfected that with his chemistry expertise.

From what I've read, many Survivor alums meet after the show is over and hang out on occasion. Based on that, it'd make sense that the ones that form friendships outside of the show have pre-built alliances going into the season. I think we saw some of that on Heroes vs. Villains when certain...

If Walt Jr. is there, it also leaves open the possibility that Jesse stumbles upon Holly and that's what gets him to stop. I'm assuming Walt Jr. is looking after her anyways. We know she's not with Marie and Hank, and while Skyler isn't a stellar mother, I think she'd do better than sticking...

Walt's miscalculation may be that Hank already realized that he's going to have to sacrifice himself to take Walt down.

I loved how that actuallywasstill a confession. Up until that point, Walt and Skyler were still trying to push the fiction that Hank was mistaken and that it was "all in the past", and they likely would've continued with that had Hank looked like he was going to back off. But underneath all of...
