Unfortunately, Jeremiah Bitsui, who played Gus' victim Victor, was hurt—physically—in the scene: He sprained his ankle! "Aaron [Paul] and Bryan [Cranston] just got very aggressive trying to jam me in [the bucket]; you jimmy it a few times and it just doesn't fit—something's going to end up hurting." Fact: We'll never look at a box cutter the same way again. {{cite web}}: External link in |title= (help)

Recommend this show to me. I appreciate Gilligan's writing and Cranston's acting (oh holy shit was he good in The X-Files episode "Drive"), but I don't know. How much of a comedy is or isn't this? Anyway, review time.

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

   Very well-written article. All I'm seeing wrong is that you're spacing your ellipses on both sides. I could be wrong, but I think that the MOS is to leave them unspaced. Aside from that we're golden.

   B. MoS compliance for lead, layout, words to watch, fiction, and lists:

   Perfect.

2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?

   A. References to sources:

   B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

   C. No original research:

   Not a problem with the refs at all. Consistent format, everything's supported, no OR.

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. Major aspects:

   B. Focused:

   Focus is fine, but I think that we could do with a brief rundown of who the characters are. Even a simple title like "drug dealer" or "chemist", as looking at a rake of names of character I don't know meant I had to follow the links to see who was who and things would flow a little better if that wasn't necessary. I'm aware now that Walter is an ex-chemistry teacher turned meth producer, but if you stick something cursory in to explain things like that in the article it saves people having to read around the subject.

4. Is it neutral?

   Fair representation without bias:

   Neutral

5. Is it stable?

   No edit wars, etc:

   Stable

6. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:

   Images are fine. Used well; one free and one with a solid FUR. No problems there.

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   I sorta wanna pass it right away but I get the feeling from the scope and quality that you'll want to take this article further, so if the fixes are done before it passes here it should help further along the line. Holding it for now but I can't imagine you'll need more than a few minutes to be done with it.

   • Is this what you had in mind? If not, let me know and I'll work on it more. And as far as recommending the show, I think it's great, probably the best show on television right now. But it is a little dark. There is humor, but it's most definitely dark humor. I'd watch the pilot episode and see if you like it, definitely. — Hunter Kahn 13:24, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

   See that's good, I was hoping it wouldn't be too goofy. I'll definitely look into it. And yeah, those changes are good. I'm ready to pass the article now. GRAPPLE X 13:28, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
