Brad Smith restructured, didn't he?

The pace is just astounding. Walt made his move, Hank made a counter move. Jesse is caught in the middle of one of Walt's wars again. It's heartbreaking to see how little everyone cares for Jesse's life. It's really Walt's last redeeming quality. The tension just grows every episode.

/grumble about how Darcy sucks.

I'm going to the home opener, so I want Manuel. Even if he doesn't play well, I'll still get to hear the crowd at the Ralph when they announce him.

I would've been mad if someone stole my weed too.

One of the best safeties in the league and you want to trade him? I had hope that Searcy could be good, but it seems like he's not even decent. The defense is much much better with Byrd, and it's not even close.

Byrd signed his tag. And we can tag him next year if we have to. Cool.

Kolb is a good backup. Manuel was on course to win the starting job when he got hurt. Where's the argument?

I don't think you have the slightest clue what makes people love Breaking Bad. I'm missing my usual dose of Jesse Pinkman. Very little screen time in 509 and 510. Interesting to see what a different feel the show has now that Hank is so important (at least to me).

So a guy being injured is now a "built-in excuse?" Wow.

Who uses their index finger?

I'm confused. Most of that is just rehashing that Walt has a slow burning character arc. Just because a character is well defined and has had a complex path does not mean the character is complex.

To the bolded: NFW. Not gonna happen. The show will have an absolute resolution. Gilligan and the actors have made this very clear. There may be some lose ends with minor characters (I mean Saul's gonna have a freakin' spinoff (maybe)), but the main story line will be pretty cut and dry.

Thanks for the info on Da'rick, guys.

I haven't heard anything about Da'Rick's maturity issues manifesting during camp. What's he been doing?

The love for Michael Jasper was very very strong. Camp superhero. That's amazing. An artifact of hype.

I fully believe Walt would take chemo to make his family think the cancer's back. Something was just so off about the way he told Hank that he's "fighting like hell." That Star Trek scene was likely the last hurrah of Skinny Pete and Badger. And Spock is like "How is this Russian defeating me?"

I don't think Walt has cancer. He's bullshitting. And oh my god that last scene gave me tingles. Walt was calm the whole time, and then "Tread lightly."

This is really good to see, since in camp we've seen him sling it out to the burners over and over.

It would be hilarious if Manuel sounded exactly like that in TD celebrations.

One of us. One of us. Now stay away from this thread until you're caught up, chump!

As many others do, I want Girgensons playing all year in Rochester, save for the occasional call-up. 1st line center duty, pk, pp, let him chew up those minutes. Please let this kid develop offensively. Please let him be better than, say, Ryan Kessler.

Grigorenko just sort of takes the 2nd line center slot by default, though. I don't think people are putting him there because they expect him to play to that level as a 19/20 year old, they are just doing it because Darcy doesn't have any other centers on the roster. That, and the dumb CHL-AHL age rule.

Oops nevermind. That's probably just an awesome Wiener alias.
