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

Lord knows they went there with Rescue Me, although I think we were spared Dennis Leary ass. They seem to want to show Dylan's every chance they get.

Because books.

Just watched American Horror Story. Wow. They're trying a little too hard to be shocking and perverse, I think, but I do love Connie Britton.

I will admit that I think "Don't make me kill you again." is one of the best lines I've ever heard in a horror story context. The fact that it was Jessica Lange delivering it was just a bonus.

Oh, Jessica Lange was fantastic, too. And the maid(s).

There's a lot of interesting stuff in there, but they sort of threw it all at the wall on the first day. And I think they're overdoing the jumpy cuts and shaky camera work and sudden voices stuff, but maybe they'll pull back there a little.

I think Ben's nakedness might be a way to show how naive he is, but that might be assuming a lot.

Violet's high school nemesis was also completely overdone and unbelievable.

Breaking Bad:

(1) Wow

(2) Walt didn't really do what that last shot implied, did he?

(3) For a second there, I seriously thought Gus was a cyborg and just thought "didn't see that coming"

(4) there's another season coming?

(5) wow.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I'm thinking the two henchmen placed the flowerpot by the pool to frame Walt, and then left while the neighbor lady was inside the house.

They're all dead now, yeah? So how will we ever know? Either way, the logistics of the actual poisoning are opaque to me. Maybe it's a coincidence and the kid ate the wrong berries all on his own.

I tend to think that Walt might be that ruthless and devious at this point. I'm not sure what I want to believe.

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

No. Remember last week, when Walt was spinning the gun? It pointed to him twice, and on the third spin...it pointed to the flower pot. That was how he got the idea. I couldn't believe it when people were suggesting that Walt had poisoned Brock, but it's true: he did it. He also sent his neighbor into a potential death trap. He also shot two of Gus's goons in cold blood. He also blew up Gus and Tyrus. I'm not sure how hard I can root for him next season, and I'll be interested to see what the hell they have planned for him. He still has further to fall, but, damn, he's pretty damn close to the transformation Gilligan promised from the beginning. I don't think he has any intent in "redeeming" Walt at this point, and with Gus gone, I think Walt will take his place as the actual antagonist.

And speaking of Gus...holy shit. About a minute before it happened, I realized what Walt's plan was, and I was practically hyperventilating waiting for the confirmation that I was right. And then when Gus walked out, I yelled at the screen, "HOW DID YOU SURVIVE THAT?!?!" But it was just an awesome death scene for an awesome character.

Tim Goodman says he's not going to keep doing BB deconstructs. I hope that's not true. Here's his last one, if it is: [link]

Sepinwall interviews Vince Gilligan about the finale [link] and the neighbor with the cane? Gilligan's mother.

My jaw dropped at the ending. I didn't see Tio and the ... surprise... coming, I thought Walt would find a way to leap in the window somehow and pull a trigger. Brilliant to have Tio's bell figure into it.

'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"

The Tio actor did more with his face than 20 different actors can do with their voices and whole bodies.

Yeah, just watched last night. Still processing!
