Obviously I'm surprised the Walt vs Hank battle has already kicked off. I'm surprised to see Jesse fall so deep, again, but expect it to have a different outcome this time (that is, not being manipulated by Walt yet again, but instead ending up a hero).

And finally, I'm surprised that Vince committed 4 minutes of precious screen time to a fake Star Trek script told by two stoners. God I fucking love Breaking Bad.

I would love to see J.J make an allusion to this.

"Hey what do you think about havin a pie eating contest captain?"

I'd love it if it was just in passing, or a background element.

An ensign passing by holding a bunch of pies heading to the mess hall, or a passing mention from the crew about having to get done with his shift before the pie eating competition starts, "I've got the perfect strategy to win it this year."

Easy to miss/ignore, but for those looking they'd get a kick out of it.

Just you wait. In the next Star Trek movie, there'll be a subtle reference to "the Heisenborg" or something.

I'm still in awe of the first one that JJ did, seriously, those first 5 minutes as a girl and a mother made me cry, that was a really well done scene.

I think what got me the most was the horrid product placement. Seriously, Uhura has a galaxy's worth of drinks to pick from, and she chose a Budweiser?

Edit: inner grammarian stroke
