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…
Looking for A.Ron’s take? What an incredible Breaking Bad episode tonight! It’s packed full of so much symbolism and character reinforcement that it hurts – some characters more than others. Colors are always a good indicator of a characters state of mind in this show, as most of my readers probably know. But they become…
Looking for Jim’s take? This was a great episode. Jim’s raving about it, which is okay, although I’m not like that about it. I think what I admired most was the pacing. Lots of good acting work and letting the audience draw conclusions, with a nice action payoff. The opening shot was reminicent of the…
Light news today, like most Fridays. I’ll definitely be expanding on my essay this weekend on where Gus, Walt, and Hank are heading this weekend; like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter if you want to know when it hits. Can’t wait for this week’s episode to get here, because it looks like…
We are back after last week’s hiatus. Honestly, I’m heartbroken we lost the Jim Jones Experiment. It was an hour long mind fuck of yours truly by Jim Jones, and it was weird, it was uncomfortable, it was hilarious by the end, and it would have been legendary, and then Jim deleted it, with no backups. Because, I dunno? Mac people don’t make good backups. I guess?
If you missed it, I wrote a little essay yesterday about where I see Walt, Hank, and Gus going. I’ve got some feedback that I’ll try to work into a part two / refinement sometime over the weekend. Some good news about the deal between Sony and AMC for the fifth season of Breaking Bad,…
