  1. also lol at the statement in general. "400k isn't shit." lol, wow, someone sure seems to be claiming to be shaggy elite.
  2. 400k plus endorsement deals plus being a pro basketball player >>>>>>>>> spending a few months learning all kinds of new and meaningless platitudes under Shaka Smart for $0/the threat of suspension should you dare profit from your own likeness.
  3. HS principal played a slutty chola in Next Friday.
  4. the fact that Michael McKean never won an Emmy is 100%, total bullshit. A fucking crime. Dude owned the screen in every scene. Such a farce.
  5. welp, he's tripping if he doesn't take $400,000 over a year languishing under Shaka Smart. Bye bye Greg Brown. We hardly knew ye.
  6. fuuuuuu..... if GB III goes pro out of nowhere he's going to piss off all of Austin, Texas.
  7. Are Okie State and the G League legit options at this point, after GB III has had a "solid final five" for so long now? I sure hope not.
  8. wow. that was a damn good episode. dee continues to be THE WORST. She's the AT&T of people; a pizza burn on the roof of the world's mouth; the opposite of Batman. ugh. that said, everything else about that episode was good stuff. Bananas vs Ashley; Wes making it official with Bananas; a really good elimination with one of the all-time upsets in Challenge history; and no Paulie or Cara. really good stuff. also, even in defeat CT shows how a true champion handles himself. he throws himself in, he gives it his best shot, and when he loses he bows out gracefully and vows to come back better than before. that's how it's done.
  9. you're acting as if the only two options are a)exactly what happened in that episode or b)"a much shorter episode where everything works out ok." that's not the case. i'm 100% certain that VG and co. are perfectly capable of writing that storyline in a way that made more sense than what they went with and still filled out one entire episode.
  10. you can speak for me here. my entire disappointment with that one decision (to walk during the day with no water or shade) was because i very strongly felt that Mike Ehrmantraut is smarter/more prepared than that. I know Mike; I love Mike; he's the one guy you want with you in a situation like that. If I didn't love the show and the character the way i do then it wouldn't have bothered me so much that "prairie dog holes" was his rationale for essentially trying to kill the two of them with his plan. For me that was so unlike the character of Mike that it bothered me. That said, your words are probably falling on deaf ears. It's pretty clear that many of the people in this thread who effusively praise the show week after week with the "best show ever" and "everyone deserves an emmy" comments are ready to go to war with anyone who nitpicks literally anything about the show (baboontyme isn't actually the one poster who hasn't done this, and i thank him for that). I can't explain why, but it's been that way for years on the TV forum. People go full derka at the drop of a hat when someone criticizes anything about a show they love.
  11. Vols sign transfer EJ Anosike from Sacred Heart. Big (6'6", 245 lb) and very athletic. Averaged 15.7 pts and 11.6 reb last year. Career 74% FT shooter. Looks like a good add to a team that needs some front court help. If the freshmen are ready to play the Vols could be pretty salty next year.
  12. boom. that's the one. they opened last nights episode with an instrumental version of this, and i was wondering if there was any significance to them using the song again.
  13. oh yeah, also- when jimmy got the phone call and then went in and apparently did the worst job representing anyone ever- i wasn't able to follow what that was. can anyone clear that up for me?
  14. no way. I love Pierce Hawthorne. Chevy killed that role. Hell, there probably wasn't anybody who could have played it any better.
  15. holy shit. i'm insufferable? what the fuck are you even talking about? there is literally nothing in that post to be upset about, it's as benign a post as they come. what the fuck is wrong with you people? you're fucking bending over backwards to be upset at everything, fucking christ.
  16. when was it previously used? and what was the significance of using it again?
  17. now that i'm done responding to all of the people whining about me/wildly mischaracterizing my posts from this thread, allow me to hop on board with everyone else and say HOLY SHIT Kim Wexler/Rhea Seahorn. What an ending to that episode. During one of the commercial breaks that was probably 60% of the way through the show, I for some reason got it in my head that we were near the very end, and I thought, "this is the penultimate episode of the season; penultimate episodes are supposed to go out with a bang." boy did it. when Kim stepped up to Lalo i found my jaw slightly dropping, and i was gripped to the scene. that was a fucking awesome way to set up the final episode of the season.
  18. is that how you would describe my posts in this thread? I don't like the decision to walk during the day and suddenly that equates to "finding the need to nitpick every detail"? do you guys hear yourselves? as for your idea that this show is "decidedly supposed to be fantasy", that's just plain wrong. the backbone of this show is writing storylines that reflect what the writers think that real people would do in these situations. Game of Thrones is fantasy. LOST is fantasy. Breaking Bad/BCS is decidedly *not* fantasy. no one demands realism from this show more than the people who make it.
  19. That's a great story, but it doesn't describe what's happened in this thread, or any other thread where the fanboys flip out on me the very moment i start being critical. I'm not out here complaining about everything. Not even remotely close, and that's a fact. How many seasons have we had threads for this show? How many posts have I made in those threads? and what percentage of those posts were critical of the show? 5%? 8%? let's give you guys the benefit of the doubt and call it 10%. That would be one in every ten of my posts being critical of the show. Does that meet your definition of "Lewising"? No, no it does not. This exact same thing happened when I started criticizing The Office on TOS, it happened when I started criticizing Peaky Blinders, it happened with Always Sunny, and it most recently and notably happened with Game of Thrones. I post in these threads for years, and as long as I'm enjoying the show then nobody has a problem with anything I say. But the very moment that I start to criticize the show I get bombarded the most childish and repetitive crap from all sides. "You must be miserable." "Who watches a show trying to find plot holes?" "Why do you even watch this show if you hate it so much?" "Oh yeah you know so much better than Vince Gilligan." It's all completely fucking stupid and childish and blatantly butthurt shit like that, *the moment* I become critical. not after i "constantly criticize everything" like your pal Lewis- it happens as soon as I dare to not slurp the show. Here's the real phenomenon on display here- groupthink. Because there's a whole bunch of people in this thread who freak out at any criticism of the show, and only one of me, you guys blindly convince yourselves that " we have more numbers therefore we must be right", reality be damned. Look at all of the pos rep your post got as if it accurately describes what's happened here, when in reality the overwhelming majority of the posts I've made about this show have been 0% critical. That's not "Lewising", this is just typical shaggy/surly groupthink. "because we all agree with each other, we must be right." the truth is that if i actually were "constantly criticizing everything" then i'd stop watching whatever show it was. that's what happened with PB. i stopped enjoying it in S2, and i stopped watching and posting about it right then and there. With The Office and Always Sunny, my at-the-time controversial opinions actually ended up being accepted by pretty much everyone else in the end. The same goes for GoT x1,000,000, or has everyone already forgotten what happened when I criticized S8E1 and multiple people *literally* asked immamac to ban me from the thread for it. how did that one end up??? oh yeah, i also just remembered that the same thing happened *the very first time* i criticized Rick and Morty. never said a bad word about the show, in fact I openly gushed over it, but then i don't like S4E1 and people literally ask immamac to ban me from the thread for it. it's the exact same routine over and over. as far as this show goes, there's nothing left to say that i haven't already laid out in plain terms. i like this show. i like it a lot. i like the show runners, i like the BB universe, I like the actors, I like the story, and the majority of my posts over the years reflect that. i'm invested in this show, from it's inception until we see the end of it. that does not mean that i am going to like every episode, or in this case, *one character decision from one single episode*. It was stupid as shit for Saul and Mike to set out on foot in the middle of the desert, during the day, with no shade, almost no water, and no cover in case the man pursuing them actually found them. that was a stupid decision in my opinion. that's it. you want to derail the thread over that? fine. do it. and then keep making posts about when i'm not even here. complain about things that i might hypothetically do in this thread. keep doing what you always do. but don't fool yourselves for even one second that this is anything other than *you all* choosing to make mountains out of molehills because you can't handle it when I don't like some feature of the show.
  20. the song in the beginning- the one about "saying something stupid like it love you'"- was that used previously in this series?
  21. don't forget El Camino. that'll scratch an itch.
