I guess, if you're with a few friends and have had a few beers, it can be entertaining. Otherwise, don't.

Yeaaah, I don't really want to read anything from the promos. I think stuff like this should be in a spoiler window, even in this thread.

"Bryan Cranston, as I see it, has portrayed these 5 distinct characters throughout the run of the series."

I like this, except I'd have titled the last one "I have no idea who the fuck I am anymore".

Well, Trey, you were right. The Jane thing did come back. And I did NOT see it coming. Holy shit.

Nothing that happened in this episode, I guessed beforehand. And I'm still not sure how we're going to reconnect with the flash forwards.

I do believe Jesse is somehow gonna get out of this alive. He deserves it, after all that's happened. But is he going to be the one who pulls the trigger on Walt? I still don't know.

Right now I believe too that the big gun we see in the flash forwards is for the neo-nazis. But how is Walt going to learn about them? What will upset him so much that he'll decide to go back to Albuquerque? After everything that's happened, I don't think he'd come back just because he's learned that they overtook his empire. He knows he's lost. Or is his pride going to win again? He would certainly not come back because they have Jesse - he was ready to let him be tortured and die.

My guess is that they're going to go after Skyler and Junior. Why? I'm not sure. But to me, they're the only reason Walt would come back for revenge. That, or:

Jesse is freed - how? Todd? - and decides he wants revenge. For Brock, for all the lies - and now for Jane. During his - probably - months of captivity, I think Walt's last words will have had time to make his rage grow. I don't think he'd go as far as to hurt or kill them, but use them to make Walt come back? I'd buy that.

This is going to be a long week.

Sherlock Holmes (2009)

I rather enjoyed it. A bit CGI-in-your-face, but it overall looked amazing, and I always love Victorian London in movies. It reminded me a lot of From Hell, with a far less serious tone, of course.

Robert Downey Jr. nails it, no surprise here - but I was way more impressed by Jude Law, whose performance I wasn't expecting much of. Rachel McAdams provided me with a new crush, and Mark Strong was badass (as expected too).

Yup, two great hours of my evening. The sequel shall follow very soon.

For once, I think I'll be able to make it. It'll be cool to watch The Dark Crystal again.

I don't really imagine there's room for a last cook. I still have no idea how we're gonna from here to the flash forwards, but I think that this shootout is the beginning of the big last showdown.

More making-of and promo videos here.

I'm not sure I understand everything about the Nazi brothers. The way they hesitated before starting to shoot. If they only cared about Walt's orders, they wouldn't have fired at Hank and Gomie.

I think they were simply up for a big shootout, not cold assassinations. Otherwise, Hank and Gomie would have been dead in the blink of an eye. They just felt like firing bullets all over the place.

PS :

Okay, several things.

When Walt said he knew how to bring Jesse out, and the show cut to Brock - I cried out loud "NO, COME ON, NO". And when Walt faced Brock, I thought I was going to cry. It was so sick. Walt talking casually to Brock - after all that happened. The mother and the child being completely oblivious to it. Fuck you, fuck you so much, Walter.

After that, it was pretty much the same as BBQ: from the text message with the barrel picture to the very ending - that's almost twenty fucking minutes - I could not move a bit. I was paralyzed. When I realized Walt was trapped, I kept thinking about the flash forward, not understanding how the hell he could get away with it. And then the whole scene where Walt has to walk slowly toward Hank. Brain screaming "WARNING: SOMETHING'S ABOUT TO GO VERY WRONG."

Then Hank calls Marie, and I tell myself: "He's going to die. There's going to be a sniper and he's going to fucking die." But he doesn't. I think Gilligan made that part exactly with this purpose - make us think: "This is not right. He's won, but something's gonna go wrong." And it did, but not in the way that I thought. This man is very clever.

Now, where are we left? Oh, yeah: how the hell is Hank gonna survive this? Please tell me he will. The "I love you" part to Marie made my brain come out of my ears. But I don't believe he's just going to die at the start of next week's episode. Jesus Christ, Vince. You're a monster.

If the next two episodes are even worse tension-wise, I might have a heart failure.

I love RDA but he wasn't everything in SG-1. His humor PLUS the bonds between all of them made it work. Don't make me choose between Daniel Jackson and Jack O'Neill... How they managed to always stay alive and make bizarre alien machines work was already a wonder to me as a kid, and I loved the show for that.
