» Afternoon. Flight gets in around 4, and we'll be back in the tower around 530.
» But I promised Pepper that I would watch Breaking Bad with her first thing when I got back, so I won't be free until around 630.
» Unless you also want to wait until Monday to watch Breaking Bad, too. BUT you can't sexually harass Pepper like I know you do with Rory.
» (He didn't say anything to me about it, but he always has this distraught, unplaceable look in his eyes after he gets off the phone with you. Like someone has confused him sexually.)
» Really? You should get her to take pictures. I'd like to see them.
» This is a very lucrative year to be a Manhattan-based contractor, isn't it? The city's in shambles about half the time.

» No, no I'm watching it tonight. Saul Goodman works for me now, it's important that I know if he dies or not.
» Oh, and don't you start about Rory. Maybe I've confused him sexually but I'm not the one who has him half-convinced he isn't human, my dear, that's all you.
» I'll get her a camera. You know, I'm positive she'd live down there somewhere if she was let. She's just so at home underground.
» I like that about her, but I really can't stand the dumpsters.

» Understandable. I'm pretty sure he's going to make it, since there was talk of a spinoff, though I guess that could have been to throw us off the trail.
» But I've got nothing after that. Except unpacking and recovering from jetlag. But I'll probably get Rory to do one and the RT node to do the other.
» Hey, I am just trying to get him to see himself for what he really is. You don't come back from the dead that many times without being at least part Time Lord.
» And honestly, I think the boy has a right to know. If I were a Time Lord, I'd certainly want to.
» Probably shouldn't let her, you know. Vitamin D deficiencies are no joke.
» Christ. I guess you could set up a nice dumpster for her -- cover it in tarp, only throw out Alexander McQueen dresses and Louboutin pumps. No old food.

» I don't know if I want Walt Jr. to die or not. I also do because I think I'd be more broken up how devastated he's going to be when he learns the truth than I would be if he was killed. But that's probably selfish of me.
» He's my favourite character on the show. Walt Jr.
» I'm only really teasing Rory anyway. He's just so delightful when he's slightly flustered.
» But I'll see you tomorrow night. Do you want me to just come by your room about seven?

» Well, you know. Wanting someone to avoid emotional hardship is... sort of noble. Although death is probably not the most desirable way to do that. Too bad Breaking Bad doesn't take place in a world with obliviators.
» I've always liked Walt Jr.
» Have you taken the, "which Breaking Bad character are you" quiz?
» I got Jesse. But for some reason, when I changed one of my answers to "eat breakfast," I got Walter White.
» It's crazy that you can make a man who's died several times and punched Hitler in the face look so wrong-footed.
» Sure, I would like that. We can order sushi.

» I got Skyler - but is this the Buzzfeed one? Because I don't think that one is very good.
» I just think Walt jr is such an interesting character who has overcome so much, who never talks about himself or what he has to deal with and who really loves and admires his father - who is a shit bag. It hurts me knowing what's coming, it really does.
» Darling, anyone who has been in love with one person since childhood -- and for 2,000 years -- is either afraid of something, or keeping something to himself. He's worried I'll figure out which it is.
» I'm good at that.
» Haven't had sushi in almost two weeks. That sounds perfect.

» Yeah, that's the one I took. It's probably not super accurate. I don't think Hector Salamanca is really a big fan of "Ring My Bell." Which one did you take?
» If we're on the subject of selfish things we're sort of hoping for, I think I'd almost feel better if I found out that Walt Jr was some sort of secret evil drug kingpin. It would just be... easier to watch his life get upended, I guess. No matter what happens, he's just going to lose so much. Everyone he knows is part of this. He could lose his whole family in one fell swoop.
» Really? Why do you say that?
» Yeah, yeah, you're very talented.
» Then you can tell me all about the library. Or all of the relevant bits, anyway. I'd probably not want to hear all about the library.

	» I took that one and got Skylar, but the results explanation sentence was "Someone had to be" and I really didn't like that. I took a different one and got: Walt Jr. » Also, we're never really going to find out who Gustavo Fring really was. There was that bit about his past and just -- nothing since. » No one lives 2,000 years without regret, Tony. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

» I can see it. You know, I took that one, and I still got Jesse.
» Apparently, Word of God has confirmed that his partner, Max Arciniega, was also his partner, Max Arciniega. I do wish we'd seen more about him. I liked Fring. If they decided to bring him back from the dead, I'd let it pass.
» I guess not. I didn't even make it 36, so 2000 seems pretty out of reach.

» Science, Bitch.
» I think that makes a lot of sense, with Max and Fring. But I could watch a whole series about their adventures and lives together.
» I bought Door a bag of those little square caramels for Halloween and I swear I've eaten more than half of them.
» I didn't make it to my mid-twenties. Sometimes, I'm glad that I know it ends soon, for me. Not to sound terribly morbid - I certainly don't want to die. But I can't imagine having to keep going, keep spiralling. I guess there's always a chance I could have turned it around but what else might I have done first? Immortality is frightening.

» Yo.
» Doesn't it? I always sort of thought there was something with Gus and Gale. So would I. And you know, you could do that without retconning anything. You could just make it a sort of... prequel series.
» Fortunately, Halloween's a while off. You have plenty of time to get more.
» No, I get that. Immortality seems so exhausting. I mean, life is exhausting. Doesn't mean I'm keen on dying any time soon, but if you gave me the chance to live forever, I certainly wouldn't take it. Seems like hell.

	» I ship it. » Except I think if there was something with Gale, Walt would have been killed no matter what. Jesse too. » Fucking box cutter. » I wonder if I'm going to be stuck here for a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	» That... is a fair point. Maybe he was playing the long game. Going to kill Walt and his whole family years later at some sort of hugely depressing pool party. » (Presumably minus Walt Jr, whose fondness for breakfast made him too adorable to poison.) » Somewhere else you'd rather be?

» Sounds legit.
» I mean, I also don't want Skylar to die. Or Holly. Or Marie. Or Hank. Or Gomez. Or Jesse. And I didn't want Mike to die. Or Gale. Or Gus. And I really didn't want Max to die, even though his death was... really all we saw of him.
» Basically, I really didn't want anyone to die except the Salamancas. Even then it was more like, no opinion.
» In that respect, this has not been my show.

» Maybe. If we go back home to exactly the same point we left, and don't remember anything that took place, then yes. But... I don't know that we do.
» Do you want to go back?

» I don't think Breaking Bad is anyone's show. It's painful to watch.
» But basically we all want Walter to die. But all the flash-forwards are.... ageing me. I think they actually are. Not even soul-purchased portrait magic can protect against Breaking Bad's stress.

» No, no I don't think I do. It was a very unhappy time in my life. It was also the end of it.
» I think I'd like a few more years.

» It really is.
» Walter and Tuco are/were pretty much the only two I have actively wanted to die.
» Don't spoil me. Unless Jesse says, "bitch." He hasn't done it yet, and I'm really not doing well on "Betting Bad."

» You never know. Maybe you came from some sort of Dorian Gray AU fanfic universe where you get your soul back and everything turns out okay?
» I'd like you to have a few more years, too.

» Is it horrible that I don't really want to go home, either?
» There's already another Tony Stark at home who has to deal with the constant apocalypses. It's not like they need me.
» This place isn't home, and it isn't ideal
» But if a few more of my friends showed up, I don't know what the point of going back would be.
» The sense of purpose is nice, I admit. But it feels like all we're ever doing is running around looking for shoestrings and bubblegum to hold a broken universe together.
» Anyway.

» I found -
» Actually this is sort of strange.
» I found a podcast like that, where Dorian Gray is a person who knew Oscar Wilde and who inspired his book.
» Maybe I'm the character from the book, but maybe there is another me out there with a better chance.
» Who doesn't have to teach his readership a lesson.

» But then the podcast goes off the rails and apparently I'm nearly Sherlock Holmes' assassin.
» Well, I think this place has been good for you. You have the chance to live at a different pace. Who would you like to see?

» There aren't many people from my life I'd want. But then, I burn bridges.

» Really.
» That's pretty weird.
» I'm sure there is, you know. I mean, having some personal experience with meeting other versions of myself, I can only assume that there are also an infinite number of Dorian Grays in this infinite number of universes. Some of whom are not fictional, and some of whom... maybe didn't have to teach their readership a lesson.
» Maybe some of whom even got to live the life they set out to live.
» I'm not sure if it helps or hurts, knowing that other versions of you don't have the problems you have. In my experience, the answer is "both."

» ... sure, of course. Killing Sherlock Holmes. Why not?

» It's been tough to get used to, but I think I've gotten into the swing.
» I'd like for Rhodey to show up. He's taking his time. A few other old friends, maybe.
» And sometimes, I think I would like to see Happy again. But I don't know if I could... do it.

» Yeah, little bit. Of course, some of your bridges showed up anyway.
» Is there anyone? Someone you'd like to see, or meet?
