More specifically, it was the only thing they could do really well.

I'm with Lamer. Breaking Bad bests Mad Men in pretty much every category.

It's funny, BDA, because what you just said about Breaking Bad is almost exactly how I feel about Mad Men. No matter how many episodes I watched, it seemed like nothing important ever happened, and, more importantly, the characters never changed. Peggy and Pete are the most interesting characters, but they often get shafted in favor of endless scenes of Don. We get it, he's smooth and detached, can we see something else for once?

And I have no idea how anyone who watched past the first couple episodes could think that. Maybe I just like subtlety*.

See, that's why I'm not the guy to write that paragraph. And I absolutely agree.

Great episode. I think the point about the fact that the Pixar brass that made the Pixar films of my childhood has now spread out and can't devote the same resources and time to projects now is what sort of made me realize the most that they've definitely changed. Personally, as a huge Disney freak, I'm delighted that Lasseter is the chief creative officer for Walt Disney Animation Studios, because he gets it, man, but it is kind of sad that they're coming back down to earth after such an amazing run.

I just don't get cars at all. I mean, I don't get the premise of the universe it's set in. Is it post-apocalyptic, and all the people are dead and the cars animated? Or were there never people, and it's just a parallel universe where cars exist as sentient beings? If so, why? Do they reproduce? They date, so maybe, but, oh dear. It just doesn't work.

It's something they say about the '60s.

Brave was average, but you have to admit the short film beforehand was beautiful.  Certainly one of the best they've ever produced, only second to night and day in my opinion.

Too much garbage in your face?  There's plenty of space in space!
