GILLIGAN!

I'm not saying Vince Gilligan engineered a plane crash in 1986 as a test for an eventual show.

Not because I don't think it's above him, or too repugnant - but because Gilligan doesn't plan.

Actually, you'll recall that Tuco was originally meant to continue at least through the proposed Season 1 (which would've been Seasons 1 and 2). It's very probable that either Tuco or Hector were originally meant to be the archvillain, not Gus. (Gus, you'll recall, is somewhat awkwardly placed for a Big Bad.)

What if, in the original plan, the plane crash was meant to be Walt's last threshold? And his name was just brilliant foreshadowing lost in the wind?
"Then I was fertilized and grew wise;
From a word to a word I was led to a word,
From a work to a work I was led to a work."
- Odin, Hávamál 138-141, the Poetic Edda, as translated by Dan McCoy.

I enjoy meta-humor and self-deprecation. Annoying, right?

Goodbye.

Regardless, I'm glad things didn't go that way. Gus is fantastic and the show as is came out extremely well.

"Achievements in Ignorance: The elements of his early work that got him hailed as "groundbreaking" and "genius" were largely a result of his lack of background in comics. He didn't know what the usual conventions or expectations were, so he just did whatever."

The whole article on this man calls him a lazy, mildly misanthropic shit.

So a hero.

Oh, sure.

I really doubt Vince knew what he was doing with Tuco's murder; he was just smart enough to figure it might come in handy.

I doubt Vince knew what he was doing with anything. He's rather like us in a sense - he looks back at what he's done so far and picks elements that can be helpful later.

But now we're saying too much.

Nat and I have decided that we should now make a version of Father Ted with Republican politicians.

Rick Scott is a very good Bishop Brennan.

As a heads-up, Cerillium, Swith and I had a talk over TG and are agreed that Cer will likely play as a spirit in Fen's body. This is because Swith sometimes gets sick and knocked out of RP, and also because Cer wants to see what all the fuss is about here.

I agreed because EH is likely to get quite fast and if I can avoid slowing down for anyone, that's good.

I once thought that "the invisible hand of the free market will solve the situation" was just an hyperbolic joke in liberal circles.
