the fact that the whole show pretty much exists to tell one brilliant dick joke in the last episode.
The dick jerk algorithm will never be solved.

And MLB.tv was the first successful service like that of it's time. And as an app (not a web browser) but on Roku, XBOX, PS4, it really is a flawless experience. Isn't MLB.tv worth billions? And now with them setting up their stat tracking devices in stadiums, it looks like their going to corner and master another huge technology.

The actor who played Steve Gomez on Breaking Bad is coming to a comedy club in KC next month. I had no idea he was a comic.

The Mike Judge episode of Marc Maron's podcast is really great.

It reminded me of some of the interviews I've heard with Vince Gilligan, where you're kind of shocked but pleasantly surprised that this mild/humble kind of aw-shucksy guy talking is the genius who created such incredible things.

Got to rearrange the DVR to catch each of Downton, Shameless, Episodes, Togetherness, Cuttroat kitchen, Walking Dead and Saul...

Geez, good shows can appear on a night other than Sunday, you know...

Just made it to the end. Man, that last episode/scene is a true coup de grace. It was like the Madmen scene where Don Draper pitches Kodak's carousel, but instead of the commoditization of nostalgia, for

Better Call Saul debuts Sunday, and the early word is good.

Let's say one was to have never seen Breaking Bad. Would you advise that person to start watching BCS from the beginning?

Apparently they'll fairly separate for a while. Gives you enough time to watch BB and BCS.
