I'll address all these fallacies in due time. But for someone who watches everything, it's amazing how little respect you have for it all. |

I've told you numerous times, it's not a knock. Creative content isn't a push button operation. If you write a good score or script in 40 hours. You don't write a great score or script by adding 10 or 20 hours more. You seem to be conflating the logistics of the . . . less . . . creative details like sets, casting, location scouting, continuity, wardrobe, effects, etc., with the creative process. Those things can be hammered out with recruitment and investment. Are you seriously suggesting that a Lorre or a Milch or an Abrams create twice as good a product in a given 2 weeks than they do in a given week? Appreciate time and logistics, but that's not the same as creative. Heck, watch retrospectives on any great show, and there are tons of anecdotes where the best moments were punched up on the spur of the moment, minutes to air. Or a genius plot that drives a season coming from a dream or a drunken encounter or a chance conversation. There's a reason that 'stroke of genius' is a cliche and not 'lunch pail of genius.'

Where you got the inspiration for a plot, song hook, chord progression, is irrelevant. The real work is turning it into something that people will love. The Beatles could write hit songs in 15 min because of 1000's and 1000's of hrs they put into mastering their craft. Not to mention elite, natural musical talent to go along with it. |

Analogous to the difference between Michael Jordan practicing and playing in the finals. That's an artificial construct where the time is purposefully constrained to present the 'product,' but the comparison remains. Creators lean on their entire life experience in their creative process. That doesn't mean a great idea fleshed out in a few days becomes a better idea with more sitting around ruminating or tinkering or fine tuning. Sure, plenty of great idea require a great deal of legwork to bring to fruition. For instance GoT with elaborate sets and locations, or stop motion animation, or CGI extravaganzas. But a lot of that detail intensive time consuming work is separate from the creation. |

Any reference to The Beatles further proves your dumbassery. Maybe for your third career, you should pack up, move to Hollywood and create/produce/write a weekly TV series. Because, you know, it's easy and all and doesn't require working 9-5. |

It remains between this and The Leftovers as the best shows of the past year, for me.
There's been plenty of quality stuff, but those two stand out among titans. Very excited. I know people love Breaking Bad, but I think Saul's descent is an even better milieu for Gilligan's storytelling style. |

Thanks for the reminder. We got a new Dish unit and didn't get this one set on the DVR.

Excellent episode. By the teasers for next week...looks like they are really going to make his metamorphosis into Saul abrupt, at least from an outsider looking in.
