Was his approach on Skyler ill-advised? Not based on what he knew and saw. My guess is the suicide attempt in the pool led him to believe she would be open to any way out. He couldn't have known about her giving $600K to Ted, and then sending the goon squad over to Ted's house which I believe were foremost in Skyler's mind when they met.
I agree on this. I think that Hank, having had Walt confirm that he was Heisenberg, had his first thoughts drift towards protecting his family. That speech he gave Skylar about Marie being everything to him was 100% legit - and I believe that after that garage door closed, his first instinct was to protect his family, and thus the call to Skyler. If you are Hank, you are probably thinking "Man, I am a decorated DEA agent, and Walt had me fooled... I have to let Skylar know what Walt has been up to" - not ever thinking that Sklyer knew. When Skyler asked if she was under arrest and for her attorney, Hank's world came crashing down yet again, as he jumped to the conclusion that Skylar was in on it. In reality though, like Saul pointed out, Skylar knows what is going on, but no details, or exactly what has gone down. All she could really say to Hank is that Walt is cooking meth, and he gives her a shit ton of money.
The problem is Hank made an emotional move trying to protect his family from his family. He is the same guy that asked his civilian brother-in-law to drive him on ill-advised stakeouts that he wasn't suppose to be doing in the first place. Hank's one glaring weakness is that he doesn't have a good pokerface. Sure, he can get a weak minded girl working at a gas station to break down or piece together parts of an investigation to corner potential suspects. But when worse comes to worst, he breaks down badly given the extremely high standards of his job.

I started my own FREE league today. I got 8 spots left, and I'm giving any DVDVR members that want to join first dibs. The draft will either be on 8/30 or 8/31.

That fat dude would be Lavell Crawford, who has been a comic as long if not longer than Bill Burr.

That's a good point, but it was disguised as gambling money. Gamblers with the type of money Walt was making are known to do some weird and often illegal things to keep the whole lifestyle going. All Marie had to go on was her sister and brother-in-law's word. She was perfectly fine with her close and immediate family members possibly going to jail for tax fraud among other things.

ANYONE can fight in the United States. Literally, anyone who is still breathing can. Freakin' Gabe Brown fought on a Roy Jones Jr. undercard in MSG. Kyle Maynard fought in Alabama for God's sake (IIRC my great state of Mississippi was helpful in allowing that chicanery). What you mean is he couldn't fight in Nevada or California and to a lesser extent New Jersey.

I think Hank made two critical mistakes on tonight's episode. I think calling Skyler so fast was an irrational move for a DEA agent. First off, he doesn't know the entire role Skyler plays in this whole thing. She could be another Thelma Wright or Griselda Blanco, and Hank wouldn't know jackshit. What would he have done if she denied the whole thing? Skyler could have called his bluff and conned Hank by accusing him of making bold accusations and cut Hank (and Marie) off from seeing their niece and nephew. Simple as that.
Second, he shouldn't have told Marie (which I knew he would do). He basically gave her an excuse to go to the White home and play Social Services. He should have thought it over and planned his next move wisely. If he can get top secret Heisenberg files delivered to his house behind Marie's back, he can keep Walt's admission to him a secret for a little longer. If Walt wanted to kill him, he would have done it right then and there without leaving Hank's garage.

GENTLEMAN TODD FOR THE FUCKING WIN!

He's the Uriah Hall 1.0. There are a bunch of guys on the roster whose careers would be served better if they were in Bellator. They're not crappy enough to go back to the local circuit or good enough to consistently put together back-to-back wins in the UFC. All Uriah Hall would do if he got cut is go 5-0 w/ 5 KOs in the SoCal bum circuit or some money mark Asian promotion and then get signed by the UFC again only to be cut a few fights later. He still could be a quality pickup for a secondary promotion.
I dunno, could he even perform in Bellator?
Absolutely. This man would ice Dan Cramer in a jiffy. Most of those dudes are guys he would excel against. I think the small problem would be that fans would see him going back to KO'ing dudes and believe that he got on track instead of looking at the environment he was thriving in.

They're blatantly going for the viral sensation market.

Skip Bayless just tweeted that Seattle looks like a bigger threat than Denver in the AFC.
Incredible.

All of this Oprah hate just makes me want to go home and watch the Pregnant Oprah skit from Chappelle's Show.
The schmaltz of the marketing campaign is pretty annoying but Forrest mother fucking Whitaker is in this.
Honestly, I am not a big fan of these type of movies. Not particularly because of black people always being the help, but goddamn if directors don't try to crib Forrest Gump and/or try to jam decades of American history into two hours. J. Edgar suffered from this kinda. It can be done, but the whole plot has to be compelling enough to make the characters bearable and reasonably accurate.

SHE DON'T NEED YO MONEY CUZ WOMEN OUT HERE DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES!
*early to mid 90s standup comic mode off*

Leprechaun dude had to be plant. It was just so random for him to be on camera.
-
Great fight card in my opinion. Everybody keeps saying Overeem not respecting his opponent but i think dude was just tired. He punched himself out early.
Yeah, he was tired from laying it in the first half of the round.
And how awful is Yamasaki for missing that blatant illegal knee(s)?

- Not surprisingly, Warner Bros. is dropping Seventh Son (scheduled for a January 17 wide release), Mass Effect, and Warcraft movies that are owned by Legendary Pictures. However, WB/Legendary are still putting out Godzilla together on May 16. Legendary is going to pitch the remaining projects to the their new partner Universal Pictures.
- Screenwriter Scott Frank (Minority Report, The Wolverine) is doing the re-writes for the Assassin's Creed movie. As of right now, it's slated to be released summer 2015.

To boil my above review down to one sentence: The cops in The Chaser were so terrible at their jobs that it ruined things for me. You guys were ok with that?
One of the things about Korean thriller movies is it requires you to suspend disbelief in their entire justice system. The whole premise of Confession of Murder was Korea having a fifteen year statute of limitations on what basically amounts to first degree murder. Not only do you have to believe that, you have to believe the insane swerve in the end where the said calculated, cold blooded serial killer doesn't know the exact time the statute of limitations would go into effect. If I can believe the twists and turns of that film, I can believe there is a inept police station in The Chaser.

Judging by the stat line Tebow's gotta be pretty close to a lock to get cut this week right.
1 for 7, -1 yd, 1 INT, rating of 0.0. I guess he has 30 yards rushing but he's just taking up roster space as a QB right now.
All that is is a miscommunication between QB and receiver.
The receiver is under the illusion the back up quarterback can actually play quarterback?

You assume Belichick signed him ever intending to have him throw a pass in the regular season. He'll be lining up opposite Gronk in the 2-TE formation week 1.
Lets not get ahead of ourselves by calling what Tim Tebow does as a "pass". I would describe it as more of a "failed shakey pigskin object launch".

Paranoia only made $3.5 million with a budget of $35 million. I guess one Hemsworth brother is enough.
