Recently it was reported that Michelle MacLaren, a TV director who has helmed multiple episodes of shows like Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad, was the top choice of Warner Brothers to direct Wonder Woman.

Just a quick update for you, as it has been confirmed that MacLaren will in fact develop and direct the movie, which centers around the super powerful Amazonian warrior princess played by Gal Gadot. The actress will first play the role in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

A frontrunner has emerged to direct DC’s Wonder Woman solo movie for Warner Brothers.

According to reports, the studio’s top choice for the job is TV director Michelle MacLaren, whose past credits include multiple episodes of TV juggernauts Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and Breaking Bad. Other shows she has helmed episodes of include The X-Files, Lie to Me, Camelot, Hell on Wheels, The Leftovers, and the upcoming Breaking Bad spinoff Better Call Saul.

Full-on spoilers for this week’s action-packed Breaking Bad are below. You’ve been warned.

In his mind, the only thing that kept Walter White (Bryan Cranston) from fully descending into hell was a Batman-esque, one-premise code: Family was off-limits. For so long, Jesse (Aaron Paul) was considered family that Walt could never imagine sending him to Belize. He fought hard and long to make sure that Jesse ended up safe, but after last week’s episode that rule was broken and all bets were off. Jesse has always been far smarter than anyone ever gave him credit for and uses this to his advantage. I was half right last week when I said that Jesse would come for Walt at the car wash. So much of Walt’s motivation to cook was always about the money. There’s no way all that green would disappear.

Breaking Bad

What would you do if you were Skyler White?

Considering the fact that she acted for so long as a barrier for Heisenberg’s natural progression and evolution, I can understand much of the audience not being a Skyler White fan. It’s almost by design in that aspect, as we’re conditioned to not liking her character because she’s against our “hero.” At that early stage, it was mostly because she’s the one stopping Walter (Bryan Cranston) from becoming more a badass.

But there are so many moments in Breaking Bad episode “Buried” that remind me that Skyler White (Anna Gunn) is doing the best job that she possibly can. Like Skyler, Hank (Dean Norris) and Marie (Betsy Brandt) have been affected by Walt’s cancerous decisions, but they could claim ignorance and continue. Skyler isn’t as lucky, having taken a pledge to protect this family from the man who protects this family. She’s just as buried in the business as Walt is, a fact that Marie hauntingly came to realize in an incredible standout moment for these two sisters.

I was not impressed with “Second Sons.”

There’s normally a point each season that I reach with Game of Thrones, where one of the later episodes in the season becomes just too predictable or flat out boring. The latter certainly isn’t the case, as there are plenty of individually strong moments throughout the episode, but the sum of the parts doesn’t work to something I’m excited about. Which is sad, all things considered, because the strong parts in this episode are good. So let’s start with the good.
