Hello all - I've proposed a kind of summer-book-group-for-television over at Verdicts, and I thought I should repeat the invitation here at dotCommonweal in case you haven't visited our arts-and-culture blog lately. Are you addicted to Breaking Bad? Wondering how you'll make it to next Sunday night without another fix? Join us at Verdicts to discuss the important questions, like: What exactly was going on in that pre-credits scene of Sunday's episode? How far into the future were we looking? Will we see a teaser like that every week, sort of like the stuffed-animal-in-the-pool of season 2? And how come nobody ever swims in that pool, anyway? It seems like a nice way to cool off after a long day of desert drug dealing.

Mollie Wilson O’​Reilly is editor-at-large and columnist at Commonweal.
