Breaking the mold

If there’s a time capsule of best season finales, I’m putting in my bid to get Breaking Bad’s entombed. A perfect blend of humor and drama, plus one of the most haunting final shots ever. Masterful. —Ken Miller, associate editor

Air fair

My flight back from Texas this weekend was delayed about seven hours. The airline issued $12 food court vouchers to all the Vegas passengers, covering everything but alcohol. Did they not see where we were headed? —Erin Ryan, staff writer

Glass ass

A parody of This American Life titled “The Ira Glass Sex Tape” is making the rounds online complete with Terry Gross as possible partner and Tappet brothers jokes. The concept may frighten, but the result is pure mock-radio gold. —Sarah Feldberg

Aeroplane trip

I waited 13 years to see Neutral Milk Hotel man Jeff Mangum live, and his recent sets at New Jersey’s ATP festival somehow surpassed my crazy expectations. Head West, Jeff, head West! —Spencer Patterson, managing editor

Piano man

Even with a closed museum, Liberace’s memory endures—thanks to HBO. Michael Douglas stars in an upcoming biopic, with Matt Damon playing his lover/chauffeur. Yeah, Liberace rocks. —Mark Adams, listings coordinator
