I'm not gonna lie, I had so many feelings towards Rick shaving his beard with Season 1 flashbacks of Officer Friendly and how far he's come...Carol was so amazing. Someone besides Rick had to be skeptic, and it's wonderful that she is making preparations. I just hope it doesn't catch up with her since all of their interviews were taped and probably analyzed again and again.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00287429151542133314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-83034821532988191632015-03-03T11:01:30.876-06:002015-03-03T11:01:30.876-06:00It does.

I am no expert on religion, to be sure -- I'm one of those "spiritual not religious" people. *LOL* But I figure a Christian can be defined as someone holding many of the basic beliefs and trying to follow Christ's example. As I understand it, the prime directive is to love your neighbor as yourself and not judge people. So by my definition, Jess and her group are *out.* Of course, I'm not going to Instagram to tell them so. :-P<br /><br />I find the whole fundamentalist/patriarchal thing interesting, too -- I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just because I'm fascinated by all human behavior that I don't understand. I have a friend who has been interviewing women who left this movement because she's writing a play. What they've been through sounds incredibly difficult to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574641672605054506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-10486318074740024212015-03-02T09:26:44.199-06:002015-03-02T09:26:44.199-06:00Better Call Saul is great.

Howard Stark kept a vile of it for scientific purposes and Jarvis gave it to Peggy at the end. They could've done something great with it, but it could fall into the wrong hands and become a weapon, so she dumps it into a river so no one else can try.Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-13753700611535058792015-03-02T09:25:12.227-06:002015-03-02T09:25:12.227-06:00Oh for sure.

He gives us little nods here and there, and like you said, even though everyone knew what was happening with that scene, he still played it out brilliantly.

Christian Patriar...Better Call Saul is excellent. <br /><br />Christian Patriarchy as a whole is very scary, but I'm kind of fascinated by it. I think my main reason for watching 19 Kids is that I want one of the kids to escape and write a tell all book. I've read so many blog posts from people who grew up this way, then left as adults and how hard it was for them. It's just bizarre.<br /><br />Liberal Christians to Jessa are basically Christians that aren't hateful bigots. lol I'm in a weird place spiritually. I believe in God, I believe in Jesus, I think he died for our sins, but organized religion as a whole juts rubs me the wrong way now. Especially the ones trying to take rights from others. I read an interesting comment about Hell the other day - Why would Satan punish those who don't believe in his enemy for all eternity? Wouldn't he welcome them?<br /><br />Clearly I have a lot I need to figure out spiritually. lolBrittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-79138846580099016532015-03-02T09:08:10.386-06:002015-03-02T09:08:10.386-06:00Your commentary on 19 Kids and Counting is hilario...Your commentary on 19 Kids and Counting is hilarious. I don't know whether I find this particular patriarchal brand of religion humorous, infuriating, or scary. Mostly scary, because with certain families procreating at this rate, I can't imagine what society will look like in future generations.<br /><br />Why is Jessa telling liberal Christians they're going to Hell ... on Instagram of all places? By "liberal" Christians, do you mean not crazy? :-)<br /><br />As an aside, I am open to the existence of God and an afterlife, but I have never believed in Hell. Hey, if the pope doesn't even buy into it any more, what gives? :-) But I was telling my kids the other day that for some self-professed "Christians," believing that other people are going to suffer in Hell is their greatest satisfaction and delight. <br /><br />Is Better Call Saul good? I am looking forward to it coming to streaming.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574641672605054506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-77546985133833910302015-03-02T02:33:02.376-06:002015-03-02T02:33:02.376-06:00I felt that Gilligan and his writers knew that the...I felt that Gilligan and his writers knew that the audience would know the up and up with the billboard sign.
