Justin Theroux is going to be the star of the next show by Damon Lindelof, and it’s going to be on HBO. Oh goody me, Damon Lindelof is working on another television show. In case you didn’t know: Lindelof “works on television shows” by standing in front of a mirror, quietly saying “you’re so clever.” He slowly builds up to a tribal chant, at which he eventually orgasms. Hands free. It’s almost impressive.

Astute viewers knew something was wrong when the wedding musicians started playing the Lannister song of war and battle, ‘The Rains of Castamere’.

I remember feeling physically ill for an hour after reading the chapter in George R. R. Martin’s ‘A Storm of Swords’ that corresponded to the end of tonight’s episode.

The still-more interesting conversation: will viewers be encouraged enough to hang on, persist, and see this story through? Many people I know felt completely gutted after this chapter years ago, and the ones I saw watching tonight seemed doubly so – it’s quite something to see these events play out visually.

How do you hang on when the good guys get torn apart so viciously, so brazenly?

Soderbergh wants the last two episodes of Breaking Bad to hit the silver screen. It is just a pipe dream, but fuck I can totally dig it. It would be excellent to watch the Final Dance of Walter White upon a glorious wall, in a theater filled with fellow Breaking Badians.

Those rumors about Danny Harmon being asked back to Community that seemed ludicrous? Apparently ain’t that ludicrous. Multiple sources pig piling on the report. And Dan? Say yes. Please say yes.

One of those times where I’m torn between what I really think, and my desire to get the community talking about awesome The Community would be if Dan Harmon came back. ‘Cause like, you know. There is no way this is actually happening. Right?

Vince Gilligan is the creator of Breaking Bad, and he respects the shit out of our Netflix binge watching. In fact, the dude credits the ability to dig deep into the show’s soul over a weekend as one of the instrumental reasons for its success.
