Thanks! But what a silly explanation. :)

What, Raylan couldn't simply shoot at the truck's tires to stop it? He really just let Ava go? That was the only part of the episode that felt off to me. The rest? Awesome.

What's the spoiler policy on this kind of show? I've seen the first five episodes only, but just read something here that I didn't know was coming. Should we avoid coming here until we see the whole 13 episodes, just to be safe?

I thought I saw the carcass hanging from a tree, while they were eating. Wasn't very big, from what I remember. Maybe they just got a runt.

I'd love to see a Loretta spin-off. Called (maybe) "Bluegrass" - since "Weeds" has already been used. But Dickie Bennett would have to get out of jail, just to make it more interesting. Mary Louise Parker could guest star.

When Sea Bass walked into their hotel room, gun drawn, I loved how unflappable Katherine was, and the way she just casually pointed at him, and asked Avery, "One of yours?"

But, we only know Saul Goodman as he fit into the BB world. Who knows what Saul was like when not surrounded by the likes of WW and Jesse? Maybe he has not lost all of his kindness. Maybe we just weren't given any opportunities to see it. Or maybe I'm just being unreasonably (and uncharacteristically) generous in spirit today.

Other than her accent slipping a little, I don't understand the criticism of her acting. I finally had to look it up to see where I'd seen her before. She played Rosie on "Luck," a show I dearly loved, and was sad to see cancelled after one season. There, she was able to speak in her own accent, which I found refreshing. Wish more shows would do that. Why couldn't she just be Irish? Not really sure I understand the trend of casting foreign actors to play Americans.

Thank you for reminding me of this. I knew there was a line that I have used many times myself, for years, but this morning I couldn't remember what it was. Boy, getting old sucks.

Since I've had this song in my head all day, I thought I would share it, for those who have never heard it. Merle Travis, "Dark As A Dungeon": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FPmSLzsbdM A version by John Cowan (whose voice I hear when I think of this song): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvRdUz96WCA

Using that phrase may have been just a coincidence, as it certainly has been around for a while, but there's also nothing wrong with BB fans being reminded of the episode, "Half Measures," either, when we hear it. It reminded me of it, as well. And the episode title,"Dark as a Dungeon" reminded me of the song, too. Been in my head all day. Pretty sure that wasn't a coincidence. :)

Funny, because I feel just the opposite. I liked her because her acting didn't seem "affected" in any way. I find the naturalness and normalcy in her character to be quite refreshing. Too easy to go the opposite way on a show like this. Of course, who knows what will be revealed about her later, but while watching her scenes in this episode, I really did think to myself how much I appreciated a female character on this show that wasn't over the top, in some way.

Oh, I don't know.... that desert scene where he bargained with Tuco on the Douchebag Twins's behalf, getting a death sentence down to a broken leg each, was some pretty quick thinking. Not everyone could have done that. I definitely see a lot of Saul in Jimmy... just not quite as well-formed yet.

"This Thread is Nacho Place for BB Discussion"

So, in other words, don't even mention that you can't mention "that show which shall not be named?" All the thread suggestions have "Breaking Bad" in them, one way or another. You can't avoid that, or how else are you supposed to know what you can't talk about? :) I don't think a reference to an episode in the thread title is going to hurt anyone, or spoil anything. At least it wouldn't to me, if I'd never seen BB.

"All 3 of those titles suggested above (by Bcharmer) are nods to BB episode titles!!!" Of course, I did that on purpose. :)

Thread title suggestions: "Don't Say My Name: Breaking Bad-Free Zone" "Keeping the Cat in the Bag: No BB Discussion" "The Crawl Space: A Safe Place to Discuss BCS"

If it makes you feel any better, the Brodys and Abu Nazir were just as annoying in real time, too.

I posted this in another thread, but I feel the same about him looking like the turtle in Finding Nemo. I can't not see it anymore. It's that upper lip, and the droopy eyes.

This episode was simply chock full of awesome. That scene with Dickie Bennet was gold. Jeremy Davies is incredible. Loretta! Apple Pie! So much incredible dialog. Everyone is bringing their A-game to this final (sniff) season.

I wonder if we'll see how Tuco comes to get that grill in his mouth. Right now, he doesn't have it.

Earl: "Five men, three beds. You think we're dealing with somethin'... untoward?"

If he only kissed her, then I guess Robert wouldn't have a "sticky wicket," would he?

And he's certainly no peacock.

That's definitely the impression I got. Those rolls of plastic indicated they were about to be Dextered. That would take care of the evidence. They just need to get rid of the bodies. Guess we'll have to find out.
