Breaking Bad - Caballo Sin Nombre, 3.2

  • The Cousins excite me more than I care to admit. My strange infatuation with them can be attributed to, in part, their image so far as the absolute perfect villains in terms of 1) air of badassery, 2) appearance (as badasses), and 3) coldhearted, murderous, merciless, personas. We haven't even seen much of them yet, but I love them already. Did you see how they didn't even flinch as they walked away from the exploding truck? And their metal skull-tipped boots? Perfect. They are obviously capable of some terrible shit, and I'm so excited to see it all go down this season.
  • Come to think of it, Tuco was awesome too. Vince Gilligan is great at creating villains.
  • Seeing Jesse sad makes me sad. I love Aaron Paul. I hope he gets nominated again this year.
  • VG, John Shiban, 10:13pm. The minute I pay respects to TXF.
  • LOOK AT THIS. The Cousins in a fucking old persons' home. The juxtaposition makes my brain scream. With delight.
  • WALTER WHITE. Holy shit. Tio's bell ringing. And then ringing again and again and again, what a buildup, what a climax. See? So far, all Cousins scenes have been absolute perfection. They haven't even uttered one word yet. They truly define what it is to be badass. I'm in love. Thank you, Vince Gilligan and writers.
  • Jesse had to leave his aunt's house because the family that lived there sold it. But I guess BB and crew struck up a new deal with the new owners.
  • White, Pinkman, Goodman. White and Pink, both colors not necessarily associated with villains. Good man -- a joke, pretty much. Saul is as slimy as they get.
  • Eyeball continuity. I dig it.
  • SO GOOD. I can't even stand it. That entire last bit with the Cousins entering Walt's house. Silhouetted in the doorway. Seen behind baby Holly's mobile. Axe swinging between them. Slowly picking up the eyeball. They are perfection, period.
  • I'm also digging the Spanish episode titles. Hope that will continue.
