Looking for Jim’s take? With all due respect to Hank and Mike, Skyler might be the best investigator on the show. Her ability to make connections, recall previously incidental points to complete an overall pictures, and sweat information out of Walt are unparalleled. I’m wondering if the last two episodes will change any Skyler hater’s…
Looking for A.Ron’s take? Have you ever felt like you’ve made a decision because you wanted to, when in reality you made it because you had to? If I were asking Walt, Skyler, Gus and the rest of the Breaking Bad cast that question tonight, they’d probably answer no; not because they’d never done it…
In this week’s show, A.Ron and Jim ponder some science, philosophy, pop culture and politics through the lens of SCIENCE! First up, a research paper opens up the debate about spoilers we first had way back in episode 62, with a new study suggesting that reading pre-spoiled books is more enjoyable than reading them spoiler-free. So take your spoiler tag, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways, and cram it up your candy ass!
A week ago, TeeFury had a sweet Breaking Bad t-shirt, but alas, you can only buy them the one day, and then they are gone forever. By the time I’d heard of it, it was already gone. Or was it? A redditor did some research and found the original artist, still selling them (albeit at…
Good morning! Er, I mean afternoon. Sorry about the tardiness of my post. My boss has this crazy idea where I have to do things for him, and it pushed my lunch hour waaay late today. I’d blow him off, but then he’d slit my network engineers throat with a mechanical pencil, just to send…
This weeks episode of PowerPlay sees our cast down a Host in the form of Peter Street! However, fear not for this only gives our “Don” Stafa time to shine the brighter! Starting with a brief What “We’ve” Been Playing segment Stafa continues by tracking down and dusting off his Top 7: Favorite Childhood Games…
Well, it’s going to be a short update today. The only real news of note that I have is the latest “Powerless Ranking” from Grantland. Money quote: “Walt is so ready to die that he makes Jesse look not ready to die.” Heh. This has me thinking, Walt is so far just getting jerked around…
Last night we got the podcast for Episode 405, “Shotgun”, up at about 11pm EST. So if you missed it, check it out! It was a bit different, usually Jim runs the cast and I just mouth off here and there, but due to a technical problem, Jim lost his show notes, so we had to use…
Moving on to the recap, we discuss Aztec badassery, Walt’s good vibrations, Jesse making good use of keys, Hank getting out, right before he gets pulled back in, the Incurable Cough of Death rearing it’s ugly, tuberculous head, knocking boots at the Casablanca, Tuvok’s mastery of the forklift, the least subtle assassination attempt of all time, and Walt’s overweening arrogance.
First things first, we can put behind us the bickering between Sony and AMC, because Breaking Bad has been renewed for a fifth and most importantly final season. The big news is that it consists of sixteen episodes, which is basically a season and a third, on average. The cynic in me wonders what in…
