Fake ID is a myth. And no fugitive would put himself is such an idiotic
position. The ole cabin in the woods: how trite. The whole Forster
trip was unrealistic nonsense. That takes nothing from Forster; he
played, as always, the role perfectly. Do you think Jeffrey will die in
the first or second episode of the next run for Game of Thrones?

an excruciatingly slow and horrifically painful death that consumes most of an episode.
We're re-watching Breaking Bad dvr'd from AMC's marathon. One could pick quite a few plot points and blow them up. The overall story so overwhelms it'd be nitpicking.
Walt got back from New Hampshire, yer just gonna have to deal with it. Perhaps he hung onto the transmission of a minivan a la Max Cady? With $9mm at his disposal I'm sure a new identity, one at least good enuf to get him on a freekin Greyhound, would have been feasible. Hell, Carrie got Brody a new one. Cabin in the woods, tract home in Arizona, what's it matter? He got out of Dodge.

Let me just say that Jack Gleeson is going to get to show us his chops.
And you're right about BB: to haggle over plot points would be nitpicking.
My problem is with setting and verisimilitude: with the reality of the
show in other words. I've read over a dozen articles in the last week
by writers, actors, and persons associated with BB: they all claimed
loud and clear that reality was the governing dynamic in the making of
BB. I think they drastically failed their dynamic in this last episode.
Just a few examples: Living in an isolated house with no outhouse in the
middle of nowhere is not hiding; it's more like advertising your presence.
Secret compartment in a propane truck with out of state plates. Please.
And finally, these days every cop on the beat has acess to a computer
terminal and can check ID. Even for a million dollars you could not find
a driver's license. Nobody could except a government sanctioned agent.
For a show so concerned with reality, they blew it big time at the end,
though it's good to see that someone in addition to Tarantino appreciates
Robert Forster. Regards,
J.R.
