the russian team have had all their bikes stolen and might not start. sair wan.

"'i'm on a plane with cocaine" so close.

if they try that it'll be as loltastic as the olympic road race.

if he has been aiming for the road race since the spring he will probably be a bit leaner than usual considering the course. the ten circuits at the end will be brutal, it'll be interesting to see how early the serious attacks come.

a great time from martin. cancellara is supposedly aiming for the RR so he's looking good for that. horner has released all his biopassport info and even though it heavily points towards him doping it's within the parameters allowed. as well as being hilarious horner is intentionally confirming that riders can cheat without being caught. he knows that no one can take his vuelta without stripping every other result this year.

good to see jonny page tackling half the celtic team in the build up to the goal. top man.

how does fat lee only get a ban and a fine for match fixing when two pakistani cricketers were jailed for spot fixing? oh aye, racism.

i watch it because i enjoy it. I much prefered the first two seasons to the 4th and 5th but it's still worth 45 minutes of my week and i'd class it alongside the likes of boardwalk, lost, oz and prison break season 1 and 2 as entertaining but flawed shows. This is a thread to discuss the show so i don't see why criticisms shouldn't be mentioned especially when fanboys are loudly creaming themselves. The breaking bad hysteria is reminiscent of early reviewers of the dark knight rises being harrassed for saying it was actually a bit shit.

he sold his share for 5000 dollars so he couldn't have built it up much. The final scene was classic breaking bad. Walter decides to give himself up, phones the police then sits down for a final drink. Just at that exact moment the bartender flicks the channels past an interview with his old friends talking about him which inspires him to change his mind. Walter then evades the police despite having no car, no map, being crippled with cancer and completely unfamiluar with the area.

seeing the house wrecked for a second time in a flashforward and then discovering again that the damage is irrelevant to the overall plot was pretty annoying.

surely they would just check where he made the call to marie from and search from there? the thousands of shell casings might be a give away as well. i'm not normally bothered about fingerprints or csi stuff on crime shows (i don't care that todd and his cronies were touching the cot with their bare fingers) but it has been mentioned on the show a few times that the police can take location from cell phones including about 4 episodes ago. i would have been nice to see marie's reaction to hank being dead within the first few months of her widowhood but obviously todd's crush on lydia is more important.

did the DEA find hank's body?

the complaint isn't that the aryan brotherhood could have people murdered in jail. the complaint is that walter had a problem with people in jail planing to testify against him which was quickly resolved by recently introduced character todd piping up that his uncle could organise for all of them to be murdered. it's weak plotting, it doesn't make it a bad show or not enjoyable but if people are going to shout about breaking bad being the best program ever it has to be able to stand up to criticism.

an interesting bit of info from the guardian review of the difficult men book.

if he meant the downfall of humanity is our greed then it makes a bit more sense but is still completely wrong considering humanity has been on a solid upward curve. the downfall of humanity is their greed implies he was only talking about the convenient nazis and that they desire the downfall of humanity. i don't want uncle jack's full history but if they are nazis make them do something racist or anti semitic. immorality is obviously a factor in organising 11 prisons murders but a very small factor. walter was immoral but he couldn't do it, the number of people who would be able to organise a prison gang to commit multiple murders is very small but serendipity meant that walter had the nephew of one on the payroll.

there is a difference between immoral and being able to organise 11 simultaneous murders in multiple different prisons. the bolded part is an awful attempt at saying something profound. The downfall of humanity is their greed. what does it even mean? we haven't even heard any of the nazis say anything racist or anti semitic never mind being given any indication that they have evil misanthropic intentions.

in my experience narcotics are a sellers market. meth heads will pay as much as they can because they are addicts.

firstly at the bolded part. good stories shouldn't have macguffins. walter coincidentally working with a guy who it just so happens has an uncle that can murder all the imprisoned witnesses who are about to turn against walter is ludicrous plotting.

this is incredibly stupid on the show never mind in real life. on the show prior to walter and jesse teaming up gus, tuco and declan were all making fortunes making and selling meth. the idea that the meth heads of new mexico and beyond are now turning their backs on getting high because it's not the heisenberg blue is utterly retarded. in the real world the quality of drugs goes up and down all the time but people keep taking them regardless.

she knew she was going to be in a bunker when she hatched the plan? she knew that declan was going to go up and see what was happening rather than staying with her?

just one of many strange things going on it's strange that they would export crystal meth to the czech republic rather send over the methylene. it's strange that scared of her own shadow lydia would allign herself with a nazi prison gang and put herself in the middle of a gun battle. it's strange that before walt started making meth gus and other people were making millions off crystal meth but now no one can manage to produce and sell it properly without walt or jesse. it's strange that the nazis didn't kill walt and roll him into the hole rather than give $11m to a traumatised man who's brother in law they have just murdered and who they have stole $70m dollars from. i bet that won't back to haunt the nazis of convenience. it's weird that todd's uncle was conviently in charge of a nazi prison gang just when walt needed a load of people in jail killed. it's weird that hank and gomez decided to take down a dangerous meth dealer off the books (i must have went for a piss when hank convinced gomez this was a good idea)

that Filipino girl was really good, it was a shame she didn't win. i hit the hat trick in the final round, dujardin, romero, grainger, it's far too easy these days.

you've got to give them one hour a day where you will be in a specified location. most sports people choose 6am-7am because then it's easy enough to give your location before you go to bed. if the testers can find you they can test you at anytime but for the other 23 hours they don't need to inform the testers where they are. the best whereabouts story is serena williams who made herself available in her house between 6am and 7am but when the testers showed up at her front gate hid in her panic room until they left because she 'thought they were intruders'.

i hate walter as well. If anyone wants to kill or torture him more power to them. I dislike jesse more for the characters stupidity than anything else. Walter is just an utter c**t. After they killed and disolved the tarantula boy i went full into hoping they all die horribly. They were always dicks just for making meth but they are despicable now. Hopefully the next episode starts with vern schillinger showing up and raping jesse.
