Starchild

I think the reason Gus didn't kill Nacho himself, but tried to set things up so that the Salamancas would do it, is because this way, it would look like Nacho acted on his own. If they found Nacho already dead, they'd know that someone else was involved, likely whoever Nacho was reporting to, and they'd start looking for that person (who we know is Gus).

Odd that both this work and this face are repeated through the centuries. How many of us are doing the same jobs as our great-great-grandparents? I can see Adam's ancestors hanging on to pictures of him and when another one is born and looks exactly like Adam they're all "oops, looks like you're the one that has to go into the cloning/artificial life field, good luck, don't fuck it up this time"

Gorillas with machine guns?

Jay was moving, so not dead. Isaac's face when he thought Nigel was gone. There were literally tears in his eyes. Oh Isaac, my heart. So glad he's getting another chance.

He would simply be a chimp. Instead, now he is a chimp with a law degree.

You're not alone. I can't say I love him, but I like and respect his character. I think he's always done the best he can under difficult circumstances, he's never done anything purely out of spite, and he doesn't deserve to be targeted by Kim and Jimmy. What's happening to him right now is just Kim being mean, and it's wrong.

Now I want a Saul Goodman trilogy of series: 1. Better Call Saul = Jimmy McGill 2. Breaking Bad = Saul Goodman 3. Cinnabon Shenanigans = Gene Takovic

Agree to disagree I suppose. But I find absolutely nothing compelling about Yaz, so I find it hard to swallow that a millennias-old entity who has literally met tens of thousands of compelling people across the universe over the centuries would find Yaz to be someone they would spend the rest of their lives with if it were possible.

I had a fleeting thought, triggered by the change from B&W to colour, that this was still Gene's future timeline, where perhaps Gene had somehow become Saul again after leaving the Cinnabon behind. And that it once again went wrong. I also noted the lack of gloves being used, so I guess the team wasn't gathering evidence (my initial assumption) but confiscating property.

This show is poetry. It is art. Simple landscapes of silence and shadow. Subtle whorls of tension like stars in a Van Gogh. Splashes of anger and blood, made impactful by proximity to quiet cleverness. It deserves the purplest of prose. I'm amazed by how scenes can be so slowly paced yet never drag, because there's so much going on in those masterful shots. As slow as they move, you can still miss things. Oh, Jimmy how I've missed you. And yes, you have indeed created a monster. Good luck trying to get her back into the bottle.

I found that to be a confusing mess. It seemed to be merely a vehicle for confirming that Yaz' love is requited. About that, I can understand how Yaz might fall for the Doctor, honestly who wouldn't, even a little bit, in some form. But what does the Doctor see in Yaz? Sticking with nuWho, where it's been overt, some of the companions the Doctor has fallen for, I can kind of see it. I can see how enthusiastic, optimistic Rose would be alluring to a damaged, war-weary Nine/Ten. I can see how a confident, adventurous Clara could be a draw for a Doctor who is sullen and misanthropic. Donna would have worked very well for him too, what with her unrelenting compassion. And I can see pretty much every iteration of the Doctor (not just Eleven) being attracted, intellectually if not always physically, to River. But Yaz is one of the blandest companions I've ever watched (and I'm including classic Who). There's absolutely nothing unique about her personality. And there's nothing about this Doctor's emotional self (that I've seen) that would seem to need whatever Yaz has going. I'm sorry, but Yaz is no River Song, that was just insulting.

Because he needs his parents to kiss so he doesn't fade from existence. ;)

How?

It feels like they had nowhere near enough story for a whole season, hence arrests, near-arrests, chases and dreamscapes.

So it turns out that Q used virtually the exact same line when he met Picard ("There's a thousand ways to die out here") that Picard's father used during that seminal event in Picard's childhood ("There's a thousand ways to die down there"). Guys, is Q actually Picard's Dad?

I can't figure out if this was ridiculously self-indulgent, or self-indulgently ridiculous. I guess there's no reason it can't be both. I thought the whole abusive father thing was something that Stewart wanted included because of his personal history, but interesting they've turned it into a bipolar mother. Weird they still haven't been able to treat that by Picard's time, it's just biochemistry. I rolled my eyes at the timecop. Why would they look at that and not think it was a camera artefact, just like Guinan said? And even if they do believe some guy just appeared out of nowhere, exactly what crime has been broken that he'd be arrested in a raid by local cops? what would they base a warrant on? Wouldn't the federal government be more likely. Sigh.

I can't watch most reality shows, Amazing Race excepted, but this looked nice so I tuned in. I enjoyed it for the most part, but the judging seemed pretty random to me. Admittedly I'm no dancer, but some of the ones who looked to me to do just as well as the first pair got significantly lower scores, and it didn't seem quite above board to me. Another thought I had at one point was how they might have to be careful what they say, since these are just kids. Then I realized that these kids have been dancing and competing for years, so they've probably heard much harsher criticism that what they're hearing here. Felt bad for the Limp Bizkit drummer, I expect they'll be out early and he'll feel he's let her down in this, on top of being away for so much of her childhood anyway.

Was Julia a gay icon in real life?

Now there is a show for which I would buy the complete series on DVD. What a classic. Well, it is small-town Texas after all.

Is that how you saw it?

I believe I recall her referring to her spouse with male pronouns.

Holy shit General observation: of all the shows I have watched, this one has dialogue written closest to the way real people actually talk. IMO

Yeah, what the hell was that about? Once was bad enough, but twice, yeesh.

Exactly right. Attacking your "right to free speech on Twitter" would happen if the government made a law that you are not allowed to say certain things on Twitter. And that hasn't happened. Amazing how few "intelligent" people don't get the distinction. On a slight tangent, has anyone seen the Bill's Club Random show? I've only seen a couple of clips for it to be clear to me that watching two people who are high try to talk to each other is not very entertaining if you are not also high lol.

Every show needs a 'shrooms episode. And on a shallow note: Park, woof
