Great list. Loved that you put ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien’ right at the top of it. ‘Harold & Maude’ is so great too. Definitely going to be checking out some of the others on this list I haven’t yet seen.

I’m definitely checking out that ‘Tilda’ pilot now. Great article, glad to know I’m not the only one who’s absolutely fascinated by her mystery.

Agree 100%, Marlon!! I don’t remember where I found the article, but I once read something about how Skylar is the “audience surrogate” for the show, meaning that if the average viewer was thrown into Walt’s world and circumstances, we’d probably act just like she does.
I also love her because, in the later seasons especially, they’ve even fashioned her into a anti-hero a bit. Great stuff.

The Rise of the Villain Hero

Absolutely. My biggest worry of all is the slowing pace. I hope they decide to shift some of the slower Dorne introductory bits into season 4, otherwise non-readers will be most likely be incredibly disappointed with how things slow down in season 5 and beyond.

Agreed! Christopher’s death was so out of the blue, but it was so great in what it revealed about Tony (or, at least, revealed what we already knew but tried to overlook throughout the series).

I just have such complicated feelings with Community by now. This whole season just felt so weird and off-kilter; it was definitely trying to mimic the Dan Harmon days but something about it came off as fake. With Dan possibly coming back next year, I feel compelled to keep with it, but how are they going to rectify this completely bizarre 4th season?

GREAT list! I’m really excited to see what some of these directors do next; Neill Blomkamp especially has my interest later this summer with ‘Elysium.’

I think they nailed it with this episode too! I have read all the books, so I was only too familiar with what was going to happen, but the final scene still gave me that dead feeling inside that reading that part in the book did. Michelle Fairley nailed it and deserves some serious Emmy attention for her work this season.
