lol. Nice comeback dudes.

@Jimmi: @artgarcrunkle: @PeasantAbuse: Ahaha, yeah you got me, I do need a shave in that picture- though, to be fair, none of it is on my neck :/. Way to directly insult someone's appearance and start slinging shit at them as opposed to just responding to their point; you three are total bad asses and I've like totally been put in my place bros. You must be uber studs in RL right?

Going to take a wild guess here and say I'm at least better looking than you goons (nice hat by the way crunkle, does a good job of covering the fact that you're balding right?) Ooh- nice glasses too, they do a good job of covering your actual face...hmm, wonder why that is.:D

@depecheload: I respect what you're saying, but you've basically just kicked the hornets nest. There's very little chance that this army of neck beards are going to respond in a reasonable manner- most are clearly just baiting you for the fun of it, which sucks.

Most men do what they do for sex. It's true, it's how humanity has flourished. Men do what they do to impress women, they go to work to pay for a big house and a nice car to impress women. Men cut their hair a certain way, act a certain way all to get some women to fuck them. You think most men go to the gym because they're worried about their health? They do it to be more attractive to women. Cities were built, nations were fought over and conquered for women.

The point is men act like misogynistic Neanderthals because women like it. How often do you hear about women going from one shitty abusive relationship to another and constantly wonder why they seem to never find a man who will treat her right. It's because she is attracted to fucking assholes. That's how life has been for thousands of years it's the primal nature to be attracted to the strongest and fiercest male so that your offspring will have a better chance to survive and flourish.

So basically what I'm saying is that if you women would throw yourselves at the sensitive chubby nerdy guys who would love nothing more than to be with you and would treat you how you want to be treated instead of rewarding the Neanderthals by procreating with them and letting them instil their misogynistic ideals in your children then the world would be a lot closer to equality than it is now. But that's not going to happen that's not how nature works.

Oh geez, I basically just blamed women for their own problems. Oh god, now I'm the misogynistic Neanderthal! ...Oh well, at least now I'll be able to get some pussy.

Oh god, another 'look at me I'm so edgy, intellectual and counter culture blaarg.' I'm sorry...but I have to come out and say it....what you just said was beyond stupid. Beyond offensive, in fact. Here's a bit of history for you. The exact argument you describe (stole) actually came about during the early 19th century as a way to justify misogyny- at the same time as eugenics and racial profiling funnily enough (so your in good company). Any modern anthropologist/ psychologist/ sociologist worth his or her salt will tell you that line of thinking has been completely dismissed along with all the other aforementioned Victorian pseudo-sciences. Trying to use it in this day an age is a bit like saying we can tell a person's personality from the shape and size of their skull or that the sun is a giant lump of coal...ridiculous.

Stop with this whole 'deep social commentary thing', you clearly don't know the first thing about what your trying to sound oh so informed about, it's just making you look creepy to be honest.

Might as well leave this here.

I've got to ask...maybe I'm late to the party here dude but....WHAT'S WITH ALL THE SOUNDTRACKS ALL THE TIME. Do you always feel compelled to express your opinions in song?

Fuck no! I don't want to catch the cooties man.

Yeah, these points would all be very true if Gus was 'a drug baron'...but I felt he was meant to be something more than just that.

SPOILERS Please note, this isn't meant to be a discussion of 'why' Gus kills Victor. I get the logistics of it- weak as they are. This is more an assessment of what the character of Gus meant for the series and why I feel this episode in particular ruined that somewhat.

I've just watching season 4 of Breaking Bad and, whilst I still think it's easily the most finely crafted show on television in recent memory, the box cutter episode seriously bothered me.

To my mind, it took what was a genuinely novel, fascinating, and original character, Gus, and turned him into yet another Drug Baron; albeit a uniquely machivellian one (yawn). The whole scene just came across as lazy writing to me- something I never thought I would be saying about Breaking Bad.

Gus originally came across as a maverick- the prime mover several steps beyond everything and every one in the perfect guise of a mild-mannered owner of a series of commercially successful fast food joints who could, in actual fact, see the grand design behind it all. He was certainly not one to get his hands dirty. More than that, he also appeared to have adopted somewhat of a utilitarian approach to his particular line of work- one might even class him as a libertarian. There was something awesomely 'red hood', or, at a stretch, 'V' about the guy to begin with (that particular scene where he casually splits the mobile in half at the end...wow). He classed the twins, and the rest of the cartel by proxy, as 'animals'. He was not one of them.

I'm not at all saying that he was a good person, far, far from it. He was, however, supposed to be a strategist. We rarely, if ever, get to see dealers of this order portrayed in entertainment. By simply reducing him to a killer who can stoop to basic intimidation, the writers have totally ruined the mystery that was the Chicken Man. I feel they squandered an immense amount of potential here, not to mention halted any chance of further character development. They had a chance to do something truly different, even profound, with this character and they sort of blew it.

Still loving the series though ^_^
