We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Um, is there anyone who didn't know that the painting was in the Wurlitzer?

If you didn't know much about the woman in question, would you know that? Just because someone is looking for something for years doesn't mean he asked the right questions.

I was fascinated by how Parker views the team, since she was doing the casting in her head. Eliot comes off pretty poorly comparatively speaking.

Because books.

Oh, I didn't think Parker was imagining them in the roles. I thought that was just for the viewer. I mean, Nate didn't either, really. And Eliot was realistic, just not heroic.

I didn't know where the painting was going to be -- I was just trying to figure out why they didn't end up together.

And I LOVED the way Aldis played young Charlie -- his voice and manner were so different, and so perfect.

I actually wept a bit. I'm a total sucker for a doomed wartime romance.

They just spent so much time talking about it. It was the first thing that they mentioned.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I actually wept a bit. I'm a total sucker for a doomed wartime romance.

Whereas I was bored and thought, "You could have just said, 'I gave the painting to the love of my life,' and been done with it."

And I LOVED the way Aldis played young Charlie -- his voice and manner were so different, and so perfect.

I did like that, though.

Breaking Bad : When Gus walked in, I thought, "Gus, you should really beat the crap out of Walt. But you're not the kind of guy who gets his hands dirty. You just make phone calls."

Uh, I was wrong.

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

Charlie had a lesson to teach. So he had to tell the story!

Jeff Eastin--take note about the Nazi looted art, eh?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Whereas I was bored and thought, "You could have just said, 'I gave the painting to the love of my life,' and been done with it."

When you're old and a pretty young girl is giving you her full attention, hanging on your every word, I bet you'll spin the longest and most romantic story you can think of.

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

A pretty young girl who reminds you of said love of your life, the reason you came back to the town in the first place?

It's like Old Guy 101.

Danny GLover is younger than my father, but he keeps playing older and more decrepit. It freaks me out. For some reason he reminds me strongly of Daddy.

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, THAT was totally the way to deal with Nazi-stolen art. Or stolen Nazi-stolen art.

You know what I mean.

I loved the doomed wartime romance. AH played the young Charlie Lawson very well and he and BR looked fantastic in 1940s costume.


Amy - Jul 18, 2011 5:20:28 am PDT #8303 of 11999
Because books.

I really appreciated that Charlie wasn't looting art, exactly -- he took it from a dead soldier who had looted it. And the fact that it was never sold, but kept safe instead, made it a lot less icky than it could have been.

I also didn't blame Charlie (much) for thinking he could sell it to buy his future with Dorothy, because of who he was in those times. But I'm glad it worked out the way it did.

Trust my rage

Oh, I'm so glad Breaking Bad is back. Can't wait to watch.

WC: I thought yhe Victor Moreau was odd. Why not comment on it if it's not anxoincidence and why accept it if it is?
