to be fair, david simon and pretty much everyone involved with the writing/producing of The Wire had either been a reporter or a cop or a lawyer/judge in baltimore before working on the show. i recommend reading The Wire: Truth Be Told, it’s super interesting!
“she’s taking to your tools like a little lesbian” -betty
or something like that
also hand in her pants while watching a lady on tv?
am i making these up in my head?
Karma finally came back to the reporter I was staring at when I did this exact same thing and broke my nose last year.
In that 15 seconds when Grimes called for Herschel after Dale was ripped apart by what is apparently the strongest and quietest zombie on the planet, I was 65% sure Herschel was going to somehow put Dale’s insides back where they were supposed to be and Dale would be puttering around the farm again in the next episode with a slight bellyache. It would not have been unprecedented.
Was anyone else waiting for an A Clockwork Orange reference during Ryan/Jim’s presentation?
THANK YOU. Also when the preview for Watch What Happens Live with Paul and Sarah came on right before the winner was announced and Sarah had that giant shit-eating grin on her face, I was convinced that she won. I almost called it quits right then and there.
six feet under! except i don’t know if i’m ready/willing to cry that regularly again?
any excuse to rewatch the wire without feeling guilty that i’m wasting time rewatching the wire again when i could be watching cougar town or downton abbey.
the line that stood out to me as being the most baseless, contrived piece of garbage-nonsense was when Rick told Glen it was pretty obvious to everyone that Maggie loves him. like.. no? no it’s not. she’s been outwardly hostile to him and they kept their ‘relationship’ a secret half the time, so no Rick, i really doubt everyone thinks Maggie loves Glen. you can’t just SAY things.
i also watched Limitless on netflix on a whim a few weeks ago, and boy oh boy was that movie awful. i had fun with it for the first third or so and then it dissolved into (more) nonsense and i wish i had watched something else.
or as TV guide really knows him: Mrs Chanandler Bong
my favorite thing about marcel is the readiness with which he responded “Ace”
i wanted to be a vet until i realized you don’t get to do anything fun and every animal that sees you probably hates you. so i’m a dog walker instead and it’s the BEST
was anyone else bothered by the random “we’re obviously the odd ones out” conversation with andrea and shane? you can’t just make up character baseless development to explain why these random people want to leave the group of other random people.
the other ‘brother” was his partner that salamanca murdered… wasn’t it?
rebecca! also, vince gilligan’s mom.
my personal theory is that some guys from chile come after whoever killed gus. the cartel wouldn’t kill him because of “who he was” in chile, but walt didn’t know about that! and i really just want to know more about gus’s origins and that would be a neat way to explore it next season.
i might be wrong but didn’t they make the ricin in the lab this time? where they thought they were out of the camera’s view.. but gus probably has extra secret cameras.
tom cruise’s teeth are asymmetrical for the same reason mine would be if i got braces! we are both missing a lateral incisor, so the rest of his teeth moved over to fill in the gap. my orthodontist showed me a picture of him and told me that at my first appointment and insinuated that i too could be a movie star if i got braces.
i signed in just to request this! pretty sure my neighbors heard me shriek with glee
i think modern family started out strong enough, and most of the first season was pretty solid. its main problem is that there is no cohesive story arc to any of it and they’ve fallen into relying on the stereotypes of the characters: gloria is always COLOOOOOOMBIAN, claire is always neurotic (and apparently has about 5 different holidays/events that are “hers”), manny is always a 60 year old man trapped in a 13 year old body, etc etc.
does anyone else just totally believe Gus’s story about how he knows Gale (the scholarship etc) because it makes sense that that’s how he contacted Gus in the first place to run the lab, only to have Gale decline? it’s something that is so easy for the DEA to follow up and check on that it doesn’t make sense for him to completely make it up.
or am i just naive and want Gus to have all his shit together that badly.
kelly, i’m so happy that you’re doing breaking bad recaps this season (seriously! great job so far!) so i almost don’t want to point out that you called Hank Mike twice, but if i don’t point it out my head will explode, so it’s been pointed out now.
not a caption, but did anybody else notice the woman in pink totally smack the guy right in the face? maybe she momentarily forgot the pie wasn’t in HER hand?






















i wasn’t comparing the two, i was just noting that david simon et al actually did live a lot of the experiences portrayed in the wire :/
