Throat

I didn't expect to see him alive but as the camera slowly panned back from the open window I kept repeating in my head "Please don't show the bodies." I was so relieved when they didn't. I feel like Walking Dead would have.

Ace bit Kenny because Larry lacked the teeth to do it?

Maybe he's Gene when he's baking. How many people have been arrested with a Best Quality Vacuum business card on them? Not that that means anything. Everyone appreciates that their vacuums are the best quality, even criminals far from New Mexico.

He has no choice but to be Saul to them, but does that not undermine him reclaiming his real name? Can he be Jimmy if everyone around him sees him as Saul? Who is he now? Both? Neither? How long is the Saul cred gonna last if they see him as just a quiet guy living a simple life of baking bread and not the larger-than-life crooked lawyer they knew him as? Is he gonna win their respect through quality baking like Paddington did?

I wanted him to take the deal... This face turn seemed pointless and too little, too late. I expected he'd do it to try and take the heat off of Kim for Howard's death, but he really didn't. He got choked up when he mentioned Howard then moved on to confessing to ruining Chuck. It seems that Kim is still on the hook for that civil suit. I'm not sure what he'd even be able to say to change that, and would she go along with it? I'm glad Kim is sort of getting back into legal work, but is she still with Mr. Yep Yep Yep? I guess she can spend her free time at the legal aid office so she won't have to endure that as often. The lawsuit will also take up a lot of her time. Jimmy renounces Saul during his big redemption scene, but slips right back into being him in prison. So what was the point? Just to impress Kim? Maybe he's back to Saul just to survive because that name brings him respect, but it sure undermines him coming clean. I'm not saying I hate the ending. Just trying to process it. It's complicated!

Mike probably also felt bad that pulling surveillance on Jimmy and Kim's condo made Howard's death possible. I wonder if Howard and Lalo were found when the torched lab was discovered after Gus died. Did the DEA dig that deep while investigating it? Probably not. But maybe!

This is exactly what I think of whenever I see or hear that word.

It just occurred to me to check if there's an audiobook version of Dusty's autobio. There is and HE DOESN'T READ IT! What a wasted opportunity. Listen to this sedate motherfucker: https://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/dusty-reflections-of-wrestlings-american-dream/id624256013

I somehow didn't know about Atlas' foot fetish until today. I just checked the sleaze thread, and it is mentioned there, but I guess it didn't stick with me as much as things like Jimmy Valiant's coffee table exploits.

It was just a couple days ago that I watched this clip where Jeff talks about what a bad decision it was to turn down rehab in 2002:

Should've called him Wesley Owens and teamed him with Kevin Owens as The Mr. Belvedere Kids.

I had to know more about that guy, so I looked him up and found this in a recap: "So Dr. Feelgood (Chief Physician from Pain, Iowa) uses “Bad Case of Loving You” by Robert Palmer for his entrance instead of, you know, FUCKING “DR. FEELGOOD”."

In the interest of the health and safety of WWE employees and fans, Wrestlemania should air as a Fire Pro simulation.

You're all invited to Tim's Horny Brunch!

True dat.

I wish the series had ended with Salladhor Saan reacting to the news that Cersei fucked a different pirate and she's now dead so he doesn't get a chance.

'Game of Thrones' Accidentally Left Two Water Bottles in the Series Finale Here we go again. The coffee cup is joined by two water bottles as symbols of how rushed this season was.

My demand was met. I'm fine with how this ended.

Perhaps they should've had Cersei hire Bronn to kill only Tyrion. It would've warmed Jaime's heart to hear she didn't want him murdered as he probably expected she would. Gotta go back to her! I've never been more upset with this show than the "gotcha" moment of Littlefinger's death. So much was left out that could've helped make sense of it just for the sake of shocking the audience. D&D pushed a wall of loose bricks down on us and yelled "Surprise!" The surprise lasts for a moment. The disappointment with how poorly it was executed lasts a lot longer.

Subverting expectations is a big part of what made this show so fun to watch throughout its run, but what's the harm in doing the expected every now and then? Especially for a character who had been on such a long redemption arc. His end was unexpected, but I wasn't shocked and amazed. It just bummed me out. I did really like his final scene with Tyrion, though. I wish he didn't say he never cared for the innocents, considering he saved them from the Mad King, but maybe he was just putting up a villainous front so his decision to return to his evil sister didn't seem so dumb.

I had hoped for the same.

Could've been an easy Cersei kill. Maybe it was also a test of his devotion to her friend Brienne. I'm sure Sansa values her opinion, but enough to forget everything Jaime had done? Tyrion vouching for his brother and only friend in the world doesn't mean much, and his suggestions have been pretty awful for a long time. Bran didn't so much forgive him as move beyond human concerns like holding grudges. If I were her, I'd be uneasy about having a Lannister, especially the one who was closest to Cersei, staying in Winterfell with so much of their forces away at war. He left Cersei and came to Winterfell to fulfill his promise to fight for the living. With that fulfilled, she'd have to be concerned about what his future plans were.

How differently would things have played out for Jaime if he hadn't happened to walk in on Sansa and Brienne talking about Cersei striking a major blow against the resistance? Was that all a setup on Sansa's part? She planted the seeds in the dumbest Lannister's mind that Cersei now had the advantage in the coming war AND that she'd die for what she had done. He would either try to kill her to prevent the war or try to save her. Either way, it gets him out of Sansa's home and likely leads to his death. As she said a few episodes ago "Men do stupid things for women. They're easily manipulated." Her teacher would've been proud. As always, I could be giving the writers too much credit.

I don't believe they'll reveal that so late in the game, or I at least hope they won't, but it's why I said probably flammable.
