Re: Breaking Bad

Well, but Jessie has kind of grown. He's not the complete fuckup he was at the beginning. He even has the sense to not only quit, but fend off Walt's manipulations and stay quit. For now. Speaking of Walt's bad-assedness - the scene in the last episode when he stares down and intimidates the three p...

I've been rewatching some episodes from the last season over the past week or two. Man, that's a great show. Quite the contrast in writing and acting to The Walking Dead, the only other show I watch. I watched the season-ender last night. Watching it again, I caught that in the very first scene, Wal...

Supposedly, an effect of global warming is more volatile weather, with swings both directions. But also, it's not that unusual to have a winter storm in early-mid spring. It doesn't happen every year, but it happens. Especially when you're talking about Wyoming and Colorado.
