You aren't meant to take that seriously.



Bilbo Baggins? It's Tim goddammit!

It's Watson!

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

It's Watson!

It's Tim.

 

[Corpsepyre]

Bilbo has to be the most hate-able character next to almost every other cast member in The Walking Dead. Great episode as usual though.

 

[AlexMogil]

It's the late Dent Arthurdent.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Was I the only one that felt bad for Goldberg getting his neck slit? The gory depection made me feel bad about him dying. It's strange, because they're both killers who show no compassion, yet I just sad for him. I think that's damn good directing, of course.

 

[RadioHeadAche]

I am gonna miss Mr. Numbers and his friend Their scenes were so damn hilarious together. It was just so funny seeing a mute criminal communicating with sign language. Simply genius.

The mute guy, as far as we know, is still alive.

What? He's awesome

 

[Sectorseven]

The parking garage Stravos was at was named the Guftason Parking Garage (named after Wade Guftason).

I really, really love the attention to detail in this show. I was a bit worried about the direct references to the movies, but they've all been really good so far.

I haven't seen the movie in years. Was this shot at the same location?

 

[bobbyrawlins]

Wow, Lester is a piece of shit. I was fairly ambivalent about his fate before this episode but now I want that fucker dead. Dead like Dennis. Damn, that was some brutal shit.

I was bummed to see Goldberg get got. I really liked him and the dynamic between him and his partner.

That whole white-out blizzard scene was amazing. Loved the shots of people stalking into and out of visibility.

Gus is an idiot.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Did we ever see the "Scrunyun" scene with Mr. Numbers that was in all of the previews? I guess it could show up as a flashback at some point.

 

[Grinchy]

Lester isn't a bad guy. He's doing what he has to do for his family. The real bad guy in this show is Skyler.

 

[Niraj]

Figures it would cut out for me right before all the good stuff. Recorded the rerun and caught up now. Wild episode. Poor Gus can't seem to do anything right. Malvo is too good. Lester's smile was the perfect way to end it.

 

[Hatchtag]

Bilbo has to be the most hate-able character next to almost every other cast member in The Walking Dead. Great episode as usual though.

I like Bilbo, I kinda hated his wife and brother much more (although his brother redeemed himself a bit).
But the most hateable character by far is Bob Odenkirk. Just such an idiot. Completely impedes everyone's progress.

Spoiler

I kind of have a far-fetched theory he's behind everything, but I'd still be incredibly surprised if it's true.

 

[Effnine]

Haven't seen anyone mention the whole "suicide by cop" sequence ... like the rest of the episode, I thought it was just spectacular and pure genius ...

 

[triplestation]

again, everything went according to plan for every character

theres no way malvo would have made it alive after starsky and hutch showed up

and i was hoping to see malvo dead but no hes the smirking mastermind cause he imagined it so

this is such a stupid show but that part where starsky and hutch came out guns blazing was awesome

 

[Draconian]

again, everything went according to plan for every character

So Gus planned to shoot Molly? What a jerk!

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

again, everything went according to plan for every character

what the fuck episode did you watch????

Lester is like the only character who everything went to plan for this episode, everyone else's plans went to shit or they ended up dead. Seriously wtf

There are some characters that act dumb. That doesn't make it a stupid show.

Are we sure he's dead though? A bit of a stretch but what if... what if he only suffered a damaged larynx and is now unable to talk?

yeah my bad i really just meant malvo, but lester really came out of that hospital pretty clean and thats pretty much possible because they purposefully made the hospital look real empty

 

[cackhyena]

It's Tim.

No.

 

[op_ivy]

i just learned lester = bilbo. wheres that mind blown thread? (also, i feel stupid)

 

[Dan]

We'll see if that all works out for Lester. He left his fingerprints all over the gun safe, although he could try to explain that away. And of course, his nephew saw him. He didn't say anything then, but that doesn't mean it won't come up later and lead to other discoveries about his little adventure.

Are we sure he's dead though? A bit of a stretch but what if... what if he only suffered a damaged larynx and is now unable to talk?

Didn't Gus stop to check his pulse and come up to say he was dead, and that's when he noticed Molly had continued into the storm?

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

lol. I'm pretty sure he's dead. Especially with the other stab wounds.

[Draconian]

There's no way he's not dead. Malvo doesn't make that kind of mistake.

Dude's deader than dead.

 

[SteveWinwood]

as someone who has been to duluths hospital let me tell ya its accurate

 

[Deku Tree]

Crazy episode. What happened to the deaf hit man guy?

 

[RustyNails]

Also, how did Bilbo sneak back into the hospital so effortlessly when everyone was looking for him?

 

[Effnine]

Who was looking for him? I'm pretty sure they never showed or addressed that ... they only showed the nurse finding the "lost" Creecher guy (or whatever his name was) ...

 

[Sectorseven]

Quietest hospital in the world.

 

[Konka]

Quietest hospital in the world.

Small Minnesota town during a blizzard. Sounds about right.

 

[yyzjohn]

Small Minnesota town during a blizzard. Sounds about right.

Yet Bilbo is able to drive around town planting evidence and get back to said hospital unnoticed with the no accumulation blizzard. This show is making it really difficult to suspend disbelief.

The ring makes him invisible.

Sorry you're not enjoying it. I am and I'm having no issue with it.

 

[bodyboarder]

Lester's taken it to another level.

 

[Helmholtz]

This episode was pretty amazing. Probably the best so far. Everything's just starting to come together, and it's getting dark as hell. Can't wait to see what happens in the coming episodes.

 

[Cornballer]

- Promo for next week's episode (please spoiler tag any discussion)

 

[Helmholtz]

Lester's taken it to another level.

I loved how they showed Lester looking at his brother's family photo. My dad and I were both thinking he was having second thoughts, but that wasn't the case at all, it just gave him more crazy/evil ideas haha.

 

[Trouble]

God I love this show. I kinda doubt Solverson is dead. I bet she was wearing a vest.

I loved the overly elaborate setup Lorne did to Don. It was completely unnecessary and will only lead to further scrutiny because of the obvious setup, but it just felt like something he would do. The man is a walking maelstrom of chaos, confusion and death.

Did we ever see the "Scrunyun" scene with Mr. Numbers that was in all of the previews? I guess it could show up as a flashback at some point.

I was wondering the same thing. Pretty sure we didn't both miss it.

I loved it too. I don't think I understand it though. I missed what he said to Dennis. He said he wanted to set this up in case Stavros went to the cops? Like he wanted to get all the cops to flood to one location in case of that? I don't understand how it helps him.

I can't tell if Malvo had just miscalculated there or if he just revels in the chaos.

 

[SummitAve]

i just learned lester = bilbo. wheres that mind blown thread? (also, i feel stupid)

It took me so long to realize that track suit guy is Dennis from It's always sunny. He kept reminding me of the Brad Pitt's character in the Coen's Burn After Reading.

Love the show! 10 episodes is perfect.

 

[triplestation]

God I hate billybob Thornton's character so much

I can't believe people are impressed by him

I'm just waiting for his glorious death

I miss the Hebrew hammer ):

I hope his friend puts BBT in a wood chipper

Watch it be the other way around

God I hate this show

 

[EightBitNate]

Is anyone put off by Lester's accent? All the accents were done so well in the original movie, but the way his British leaks through is distracting.

I don't think it leaks too bad

But I think he uses a bunch of different american accents what a wanker ehhhehehhhehhhe

Haha you think? Maybe it's just me, but this is one of the few times where I could the actor was British. Hugh Jackman, Andrew Garfield, Christian Bale, Nicole Kidman, etc. always fool me but maybe it's more to do with it being a Midwest accent.

This would be a good one to pick up.

This would be a good one to pick up.

The drums were surprisingly good during beginning of the snow shootout as were the visual effects. There were a few things in that sequence that didn't seem like they should work, but it all came together.
