Holy crap. I just caught up with Sunday's Breaking Bad. And I'm speechless.

I know, right?

I was just coming here to post about Breaking Bad.

I absolutely loved how they crafted the story to get to the end. It was just well written and I didn't see it coming together until just moments before it did.

While I've always had a soft spot for Hank, I really felt so sorry for him in this episode. And I thought Walt had crossed so many lines but here's another one.

Watch this Leverage-related video.

I've been watching that and cracking up all day. I might have done jazz hands once or twice.

On Breaking Bad, I think Hank's going to work out pretty quickly that the universe of people who know both his and his wife's names and his cell phone number is a pretty small group.

I think Jesse is toast. His best move in the last episode would have been getting arrested by Hank because now (a) he can't go home, (b) he can't make meth and thus has no income, (c) he's burned all bridges with his parents, and (d) Gus won't hire him. His only assets are knowing Heisenberg's identity and how to find Gus. But Saul's trick with Hank means that Hank is less likely to work out Jesse's assets and more likely to beat the living shit out of him. Gus is going to work out fast that Jesse is nothing but expendable. And while Walt would tell himself that he feels bad about this, Walt's intense instinct for self-preservation is his primary personality trait right now. He ultimately doesn't care about Jesse's fate.

My friend Bryan says that Marie is going to die, too. She instigated the RV incident by playing up Walt and Jesse's relationship and she was the cause of Hank losing Walt and Jesse. Now the baldie twins are coming for Hank and they've shown a tendency to make home visits. And the show has established that Hank is rarely home these days.

The thing that blows me away about this show: that episode fell in the middle of the season, not at the end. And Hank showing up in the junkyard was in the middle of the episode, not at the end. Narratively, this show is unlike any other. Even The Wire would have held such narratively important events for the penultimate episode, but on Breaking Bad, they play those string out. Damn!

Wow, I'm surprised there has been no comment on this week's Justified (granted, I'm catching up on it late myself). I thought it was the darkest episode yet, in some respects. Lots of good Boyd moments, and yet another in the unexpected shooting series they've been running so far.

Boyd's getting interesting. Predictably, Raylan coming over the table at him had me riveted, but the way Boyd just stood there until the guards dragged Raylan away was unexpectedly cool.

Sad to see the guy from Life in the drug trade.

I am worried for everyone on Breaking Bad. Terrible terribleness is coming for them all, I fear.

I really want to make a Breaking Baa joke now, but I'm not worthy.

Haven't seen the last Justified yet.

I am sad to inform you that they missed the opportunity for shirtless Raylan. Clearly, the costumer is a cruel mistress.

I acquired Spartacus based on recommendations. I fancied it might be like Rome, which I really, really liked. But no. All I can say is, 'ick.' It's Rome contaminated by the Tudors. Though I do love John Hannah.
