The Comedian

I've also been very impressed with their restraint in keeping Punk on an island. Yeah, if Punk does a run-in to save Team Bryan the place will go nuclear, and the McMahons teaming with Heyman would fit right in with the "best for business" theme, but beyond that there'd be nothing good from it. As is you have a really hot B plot to go with your A plot, allowing Bryan and Punk to simultaneously look like #1 guys. And having a strong B plot also gives fans a greater willingness to bite on other things outside of the A plot, which gives stuff like AJ vs. Divas and the Wyatt Family and such better opportunity to succeed.

Well...its the first movie I tend to go to whenever there's a discussion along the lines of "movies everyone loves that you hate"... Readers Digest version I think Liotta is fucking horrible in it and its the beginning of DeNiro sleep-walking through gangster roles...

The Shield would've made a great heel stable in WCW in the early 90's They've already got the whole "feud with the Rhodes family" thing down pat...

Bad News Brown's WWF run as Stone Cold a decade too early is the first thing comes to mind

already sigged it

Left Twix/Right Twix is getting on my last nerve If your two companies hate each other, why would they package their product together? Its just a stupid concept. And every time I hear the term "cloaked in chocolate" I wanna jump through the TV and kick the dude in the throat

yeah when you let the Eagles score a TD in the red zone that's pretty bad

man without the threat of a Vick scramble or read option run the Eagles offense is as useless as their defense

the FG Express strikes again

well it kinda worked...I mean even if your receivers keep missing deep balls eventually one of them's gonna successfully beg his way to a bullshit pass interference call like Cruz did

oh yeah we're totally fucking losing this game

I'm getting a strong feeling the Eagles are gonna snatch defeat from the jaws of victory here

ROFLZ and man does Billick need to STFU about Shady not having control, the ball shifting slightly in your hands as you hit the ground does not equal "losing control"

Imagine if our line could actually run block...

Nick Foles gets his chance to captain the Field Goal Express...

I think the last time I really liked the distaff portion of the SNL cast was the Hooks/Dunn/Jackson triumvirate

Just noticed today that Netflix finally gave in to puzzled Americans and changed My Queue to My List

Yeah, gonna have to disagree with you on that one...

First off, I'll echo the sentiment that The Simpsons and SNL are two of the seminal shows of the 20th century...and they should have stayed in the 20th century, because they've both sucked shit since the 90's. Other than that, Rescue Me hitting the rewind button on Tommy's character development in season 5 to drag a few more seasons out of him sticks out to me.

A few thoughts: - One of the recurring themes of the show is the consequences of half-measures. The finale is Walt making sure he goes full measure on everything. - Another recurring theme of the final season is comparing Walt to the devil, and in "Felina" he certainly has the devil's luck. Jesse at the end certainly seemed like a man who'd gotten out of a contract with the devil in one piece. - Finally coming to terms with his pride and villainy allowed Walt to go 100% Heisenberg. The hat-and-shades, Stone Cold-wannabe bald goateed guy, the guy trying to look and sound like a badass, that was never really Heisenberg. The gaunt, disheveled, eerily-calm man from the finale was the real Heisenberg. Sort of like Rorschach before and after the kidnapping case...

Veronica Mars, although Kickstarter has apparently remedied that...

Let me just say this about all the Shield comparisons. In the end, Walt did what Vic Mackey couldn't: he stopped rationalizing and self-deluding and owned up to his own villainy. At the end of The Shield Vic Mackey still thought he was a good guy who did questionable things for the greater good of his family and friends.

Wouldn't really have broken his heart. See, here's the thing about Todd (and why I think Jesse Plemons needs some Emmy consideration next year). Todd was a true sociopath, not the usual Hollywood psycho. He had no instinct beyond self-preservation and no moral compass beyond self-gratification. He might have lusted for Lydia, and he felt affection for Uncle Jack or Mr. White the way a dog feels for its master, but higher emotions like love were beyond him. Its a perfect self-centeredness because it's a self-centeredness that doesn't understand that there's any other way to think. And that's what made Todd's ending so great: his uncle and friends had taken Walt's money, killed his brother-in-law, threatened his wife and kids, and were about to kill Walt himself, and yet Todd couldn't understand why Walt would kill them. I mean he understood that there were people in life opposed to him, but the idea that there was someone out there who wouldn't just go away via application of force, or that said person might take that attempt at force personally, this was something alien to Todd.

Awesome Jeremiah Johnson reference. I don't know if it was the best scene, but the moment of catharsis that tied it all together was Walt's long overdue heel realization as he finally admitted to Skylar that the entire past two years were mainly just an ego stroke on his part. Walt got his redemption and Heisenberg got his vengeance.

I will. Single greatest series finale in the history of the medium of television.
