Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Maybe you don't think Walt deserved to get what he wants, but the entire series follows his character consistently and logically to this end.

Back in college, one of my screenwriting profs liked to say that every scene you write should be either surprising or inevitable. I don't agree with that as an unbreakable absolute, but the reason this ep failed for me was that it was neither - where it should have felt inevitable, it was just predictable. (I suppose Gretchen and Elliot were a little surprising, but then the fakeout with the laser pointers brought it right back into predictability.)

Oh dear lord the end of Monday's Colbert Report (with Vince Gilligan) is fantastic.

I'll be honest, I am not really understanding y'all's criticisms. I'm not saying it was perfect, but the specific flaws you're pointing out, I don't see.

Oh good. I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that here.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I loved the list of possible continuations that Colbert came up with. You could tell he and his staff were a little... obsessed.

Hi, White Collar! Hi.

Mozzie struggling not to go all conspiracy theory was very fun. And I am in for at least several more iterations of Neal Investigates His Own Crime, that's always good times.

Also, "Sterling!" may have beat out "Badger!" as the thing I want to yell at the screen when Mark Sheppard semi-unexpectedly appears.

"Mozzie" looks unexpectedly handsome with a goatee. I vote the actor should adopt one in real life.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whereas I was thinking "Read the fine print on a deal with the King of Hell!!"

Never diversify, Mark, never diversify...

That would have been appropriate advice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG Neal and Peter's loveissopure.

I mean, if by "pure," you mean painful and based on lies.

Never diversify, Mark, never diversify...

He kinda has to do S.H.E.I.L.D. to complete at this point, doesn't he?
