    That's who I want it to be.  Badger's real name is Brandon Mayhew, but it is easy enough to come up with reasons why he took his mother's name.  

    That's right, I'd forgotten his real name. But your explanation sounds good to me! Love both him and Skinny Pete, and like to mimic the indignant yo "I'm Skinny Pete!" moment outside Tuco's office.

  2. I gave Hamilton a try on Disney+ but stopped before the first act was even over. The reason I wasn't interested before is because I intensely dislike rap/hip hop and, sure enough, that was the reason I turned it off. It seems like most people who don't like it either still go nuts over Hamilton but there was little to hold my interest during brief non-musical scenes, too. Even though I'm 58 I'm primarily into obscure alternative and neo-psychedelic music, played loud in my car so it's not an age thing--I've just never liked rap. It also probably doesn't help that I don't like musicals, aside from a couple of classic ones.

  3. F--K! Well, I'll probably still watch Lawrence but I have no interest in MSNBC Prime. What one night will Rachel be on so that I can tune in then? The ratings already dropped during her absence and I think this ridiculous programming move will just continue that trajectory.

  4. Speaking of Spooge...

    Spoiler

    No matter how many times I watch "Peekaboo," it's still heartbreaking and on my list of outstanding episodes. The little boy is like a ghost. This is the one that began the shift in my perception of Jesse into a more positive light.

    Yep, the toys were in Gus's dining room:

    Great seeing Casa Gus.  I didn't recognise it from the teaser but I put 2 and 2 together a moment before Gus appeared.  I guess this finally confirms the family he talked about in BB were made up (I thought he might have one "for appearances") as he mentioned them seemingly in passing.

    When Walt goes over to have dinner at Gus's, as he's walking through to the kitchen he glances into a room--pretty sure it was the dining room--and sees a couple of kids' toys in the corner. As we know, Gus also mentions his children not liking what he's making. Was the motive of the manipulation to get Walt thinking, hey, he's a family man (and supporting his family the same way!) so he totally understands why I'm doing this? Therefore, Gus might be less threatening than I think?

    OMG. That is hilarious. I was a retail store manager, for a very large company, at one point in my life and we had training videos very similar to this. Even the music. The thing that killed me was the 10 WEEK length. These are usually one-offs, as short as possible. And the stand up straight thing. There were funny things about being watched and the cartoon of Gus' eyes. The point about being "respectable" to gain respect was certainly not lost on me. He acts respectable to gain respect the whole time running drugs. Loved it. 

    I've already seen them a few times but just had to rewatch all again last night. It's so awesome that Giancarlo was happy to commit to those. Have you seen Mike's training videos? I just remembered those. All of these extras are brilliant and an awesome gift to fans. (There's also a Lalo teaches you how to make a taco video...and I just remembered the series of Kim's legal training videos!)

  7. I don't think this occurred to me the first time I watched it but now: how about what this did to your parents?? Not that Tasha's death wouldn't have been devastating but to not know at all what happened and whether they're even alive makes it worse. Did she leave a note? "Hey, Mom and Dad, this is Kate! Sorry I didn't get in touch with you while I was here. Even though Tasha was on life support yesterday, I want to assure you that she's all better now. I can't tell you how or why, though, but I can tell you she's with me. I'm really sorry that you'll never get to see or hear from us again but don't worry! XOXO."

    But it does have a Shirt Shack, Miona. Bet you can’t get that at home.

    And Dinosaur Park! And Storybook Island! I got all excited when I saw a giant brontosaurus up on top of a hill in one scene, and after looking it up on the interwebs, discovered a few of the things there that I would love to do. I suspect Miona does not similar interests.
