Need to get rid of a car real quick? Old Joe will have a cameo.

Skinny Pete is a contact in my CRM. We used to assign leads to him temporarily until we could determine the real owner.

I want more Skinny Pete playing piano. Also, Badger.

I trust Gilligan not to go all George Lucas on us, but if it were almost any other show runner, I would be nervous that they would screw it up by revealing that Walter faked his own death and is pulling the strings of one of the cartels.

This reminds me of one of the greatest exchanges from Breaking Bad:

Badger: "So you're telling me every time Kirk went into the transport he was killing himself? So over the whole series, there was, like, 147 Kirks?"
Skinny Pete: "At least. Dude, no, why do you think McCoy never liked to beam nowhere? 'Cause he's a doctor, bitch! Look it up, it's science!"

I didn't recognize that this was Skinny Pete until I saw this thread. Then, while trying to figure out why, I realized that I had at some point (probably long after watching the show) replaced this actor with DJ Qualls in my head.

DJ Qualls, of course, had a (small) role in BB as well.

All this time, I presumed the feds concluded that Walt had been cooking for the Nazis. It makes sense, since Walt was off the radar the whole time they were selling the meth Jesse was cooking.

I wouldn't think Jesse would last very long as the subject of a nationwide manhunt. Is this a short movie?

This feels like AMC and Netflix are risking their strongest property slash most acclaimed.

Would HBO make a Wire or Sopranos movie?

They're making a Sopranos prequel; does that count?

It does, and I find it surprising that they would. It seems like vert short term thinking to me.

Maybe they saw the script and it was cream-alicious.

Maybe it was, On the other hand Gandolfini is dead, and he was by far the most charismatic character, so yeah that script better be amazing.

Gandolfini is dead

HIs son is playing the youthful Tony Soprano

Which sounds about as wonderful as a young Han Solo.

I dig how Hank & Gomey would lovingly break each others’ balls, what a great duo. Could not possibly be more stoked for this movie.

In addition to the Sopranos prequel, HBO made a Deadwood movie. So, yeah, HBO would make a movie.

An under-rated movie with a great soundtrack. I'll take it!

This makes more sense than the Downton Abbey trailer I saw last week - at a real theater!

Oh yeah, forgot to add that the Deadwood movie was owed to us because HBO dun goofed and cancelled it too soon.

Even though the Deadwood movie was basically a do-over of Season 3. (Love them both! Just sayin'.)

this is all I can find.

Badger: "So you're telling me every time Kirk went into the transport he was killing himself?

Speaking of Skinny Pete, Badger, and Star Trek, just in case anybody here didn't see this...
