    Watched another episode last night. Obiwan deflecting lasers from at least 10 storm troopers shooting at him from both directions…

    In the intro to the series, there were clips from Revenge of the Sith where Jedis were taken out by 2 or 3 storm troopers.

    So either Obiwan is just that badass or the storm troopers 10 years before were more accurate.

    I’m most likely gonna power through this one but will hate every minute of it. 

    Clone Troopers vs. Storm Troopers. They are not the same.

    Her character is a perfect example of how an average-nice looking woman can become 10x more attractive when you find who she is attractive, as well.  Her ass is above average, I'll acknowledge.  

    The internet says she's 5' 5" tall.  She looks taller than that to me on this show.  

     

    She’s 50 years old. If you look at an early headshot from her 20s, Rhea is better than average to nice-looking. She’s pulling off playing a woman ten or more years her junior.

    I've never been able to reconcile the Gus who showed up to Don Eladio's with his boyfriend--his mannerisms, his nervousness, and his devastation at his lover's murder--with someone who was supposed to have been a "Big Generalissimo" in Chile, who apparently commanded enough respect that Don Eladio chose not to execute him because of it. "The only reason you're alive and he is not is because I know who you are. But you are not in Chile."

    Anybody else feel that way?

     

    Mexico may have been the first time he was out and in love. The later Fring would then be an overreaction to his “lack of control”.

    I have a thing for redheads, too. Khandi and it isn’t a contest.

    I’d say what makes Mad Men a soap opera is the excessive amount of time spent on romantic relationships. They mostly didn’t contribute to character development. Don Draper was the same unfaithful womanizer at the end of the show as he was at the start of the show.

    Draper and Peggy were the main characters. It’s true that Don didn’t grow as a character in that regard. Unlike the many other womanizing men in the show, we got to see his internal development through flashbacks, why he was a womanizer (and many other things). His lack of growth in this dimension was kind of the point. And the other romantic relationships were also kind of the point, that a pre-modern office was a meat market.

    UPDATE 4] The ABC affiliate in Houston reported just before 2 p.m. CT that Houston field office FBI agents at the scene confirmed the IRS field investigations team was conducting a court-ordered criminal investigation at the building that houses Alliantgroup’s offices. No arrests have been made as of now.

    In the flash forward from season 4, Saul asks Francesca to be at a pay phone at 3pm on 11/20 (his birthday) to take a phone call.  Theorizing this is Kim (since who else would call Jimmy on his b-day) and since it is to this specific pay phone and not one of Jimmy's burners or his personal phone, the person calling is being monitored, so he theorizes Kim is in prison.  The Howard plan somehow blows up and due to her controlling nature and self-reliance ("you don't save me, I save me"), she takes the fall for her own doings.  And since she is is prison she will get out at some point and that leaves the door open for some kind of perhaps chance encounter in Nebraska.

    It is more likely she is in hiding. Jimmy is still barred in BB. I can’t think of a reason where they couldn’t communicate if she was in prison. Can’t represent Kim because he is a witness? Lawyers, help out.
