how in HELL are they going to manage that in a 60s-set series is beyond me.
cars, appliances, and food probably.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I wonder what kind of product placement they have for Breaking Bad. Sudafed?

They did a nice job with the Heineken product placement on Mad Men, but I imagine that takes a lot of effort.

“Not dead yet!”
BMW's been one of their big commercial sponsors but it wasn't a car I imagine a lot of people were driving around in during the 60s, with the emphasis on buy American.
And how many products exist now in a similar fashion to how they did in the 60s? They've got Coke and maybe stuff like Kraft Mac n' Cheese.
The bottom line, however, is I just can't see Matt Weiner compromising his vision of the show to try to shoehorn in products. But what do I know? I suspect the attempted axing of two actors might be of greater import.

And I would appreciate it if the writers would cease making the female characters such asshats. Truly.

I am facinated with Boyd's dancing on the edge behavior. He managed to pull off slipping out of the mine robbery, so I'm so very curious how he thinks he's got something on the Bennetts.
Raylan needs to wake up and realize that Boyd is his one true friend.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I don't find the female characters any more asshattery than the male. Sure Carol is no prize, but we have Ava and Helen and Loretta and Rachel, who are all strong, interesting women (well, and one strong little girl). Winona has some flaws, but no more than Raylan himself does. Mags is horrible, but there's only one of her and THREE sons in the family, so the asshat dudes outnumber the women on the Bennett family tree.

I watched the next-to-last episode of Breaking Bad S3 yesterday, and I'm still vibrating from the HSQ of it... as well as the impending grief that I'll be all caught up and have to wait for the fourth season with the rest of you.
(Seriously: best one-word ending of an episode EVER.)
