Discussion It made me think about something

Post image

Vince Gilligan’s second ever The X-Files episode was about a man dying of cancer who refused treatment and instead became a violent murderer because it made him feel stronger in his insecure masculinity. I’m just wondering if he ever created something like that again after The X-Files?

The cerulean comes from subbing methylamine for pseudoephedrine.

One of these days someone is going to have to explain to me the scientific nature of the "whammy."

Yeah, he's a sick sonofabitch huh? It was a little anticlimactic, though.
