Shezan and Maia, thank you so much for the adorable dragons!

(Once The Hobbit hits the big screen, I predict a great uprise in dragon popularity again. Not that they're ever entirely out of fashion, but, you know...)

I'm still marathoning Breaking Bad and well into the third season now, when up comes this little scene:

Jesse: has been beaten up again; this is not a spoiler, because when one two main characters gets beaten up on this show, it's always Jesse. Reboot!Kirk has nothing on him in this regard.

Walt: awkwardly enters room for plotty reasons. Can't think of anything to say.

Saul (drug dealer lawyer extraordinaire, trying to break awkwardness, to Walt): Well, you're the cute one now. Paul, meet Ringo. Ringo, meet Paul.


Guys, I liked the show already, you didn't have to bribe me with this!

Btw, I can see Jesse as Ringo, especially a Ringo who instead of using his musical talent to drum runs around with the gangs and the drinks that fatal bit too long. But any attempt to cast Walter White as Paul is met with swift and abject failure. Then again, Paul did think of becoming a teacher as a kid before the music got him for good...

“The great thing about Ringo”, Brian Epstein once told his friend Nat Weiss, “is that he’s the least talented, but never uptight about it.” It was said in confidence and thus far less diplomatic than Brian usually expressed himself. There is some truth in it – Ringo certainly never had the songwriting talent of the other three, or the vocal range, he knew that, it didn’t bother him, and one memorable occasion in 1968 aside, he never complained about lack of attention or not being taken seriously enough – but it still misses out something essential: without Ringo, they would not have been the Fab Four. That’s another thing different about the Beatles in comparison to other bands – from the time Ringo joined, you couldn’t have taken any of the four out without destroying the group.

Here's why )
