It occurs to me that Skylar and Gus have the same sort of attitude about this business.
Hm. Explain?
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Trust my rage
I'm still watching the episode, but I thought it was interesting that Gus clearly had a long term "look normal" plan for involving Gus and Skylar is way overboard on the looking normal thing. Well, she seems overboard (putting the money in the bags and the serious emphasis on why stuff is happening), but if you watch Gus, she's really not that over the top.
eta: and Holy Shit! is certainly my first reaction to the Gus backstory.

Mark Pellegrino is just excellent on the Closer - plus Rick Gonzalez from The Reaper as a sleazy producer. (Continuing the Satanic trend, no?)

I agree. MP has come a long way since "The Big Lebowski."

ITA. So different from the bad guys that we see him as so much of the time, and doing a stellar job of it. Plus seemed like he was having so much fun with it last night. (And a side note - I think that was my favorite ever Twizzlers product placement. Usually they're wedged in so awkwardly, last night's verged on feeling natural. And funny).

I'm not a fan of the character, but he's playing it exquisitely. Although I did love the "you have to ask?" when Taylor wanted to know if they wanted to see the press conference.

The premiere of Sons Of Anarchy was last night. Brutual, as usual. There was quite a few American Horror Story commercials during it.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
that final sequence? gah! especially the prison scene. my parents were watching on a delay and yelled at me to be quiet after i yelled out an "oh my god!". Kurt Sutter never pulls any punches with the violence on this show.

It was a real shock, once I figured out what was going on.
I honestly was a little relieved for Otto. He's been through so much.
I assumed the Sons had sent him a mercy egg, thinking solitary was too much for him. It turned out to be a todo list for cripesake.
That is some hardCORE loyalty.
