Breaking Bad Discussion >>>>>
I rather like GOT primarily because Peter Dinklage owns his part and it has some of the strongest female characters on TV right. Just how much of a bad ass is Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen , yes the dragons help but…
If you are looking for messed-up, then "Hit Or Miss" currently on Netflix is pretty high on that scale. Starring Chloe Sevigny it's definitely not one you want to watch with children around. It's created by the same guy behind the original UK Shameless and State of Play. I watched all six episodes in a marathon…
Speaking of the the UK version of Shameless, I recently finished watching all it's season. While the first when James McAvoy is the probably the best and well worth seeing, the remaining seasons are hit and miss but it never shy's away from being shameless. Because UK TV contracts are done season by season, many new characters came and went through out it's run.

What's your favorite show of all time?
I will always have an undying love also for (in no order): In Treatment, Breaking Bad, The Hills, Deadwood, Sex And The City, Big Love, Cheers, Homeland, Gossip Girl, The Wire, Twin Peaks, The Practice/Boston Legal.
I would rank Lost up there really highly if the third season finale was the series finale. The final four seasons of that were a complete cluster though.

Completely agree about Lost. I recently watched it again and couldn't even watch the last season. It's so so bad.
Nice to see some love for In Treatment! Loved that show!
The last episode of Mad Men was just awesome.
Now back to Breaking Bad. Will we love Walt when he dies to save Jesse? How did Cruicifictorius go so wrong? Maybe it was when he killed the rapist?

I can't even rewatch the first seasons. Knowing where they're going with everything just points out that 95% of the early plot was either red herrings or stuff the writers decided to throw away and makes the whole experience unstomachable. Its the only show whose eventual decline in quality so tainted the early stuff I can't even sit through it.
K8teebug wrote:Nice to see some love for In Treatment! Loved that show!If anyone ever asks me what is the most underrated TV show ever, I say In Treatment. It has none of the cult following one would think it has and its concept was so, so unique. It's so crazy that a show that is basically nothing but dialogue and bottle episodes actually put out like, what, 100 episodes? You know Aaron Sorkin is ridiculously jealous he didn't come up with this concept. The depiction of therapeutic practices is way off but virtually every patient was thrilling from a character development standpoint. I really wish this would come out on blu-ray.

Save him? I'm working off the assumption he figures out the Nazis didn't off him and that's his reason for returning.

Yeah, but I wouldn't do Walter White.

Whatever. Don Draper and Walter White are cut from the same cloth. It is not a coincidence that both Mad Men and Breaking Bad have name-checked Ozymandias. Both series are about the arc of a man who starts out somewhat admirable only to see their "empire" decline - not to mention their personal downfalls. It's the time-tested story of hubris, which the Greeks were writing about thousands of years ago. Kudos to both Matthew Weiner and Vince Gilligan for updating it to the modern times. It is no less relevant today.

It's the very first image of the entire series. The pants go flying into the air and then we see the RV speeding through the desert.

Lost was a show I truly did love as a drama and it turned into what Dexter is now. Just un-fucking-bearable. I told myself I would get through the end of Dexter because he HAS to die or get caught. But with like 3 or 4 episodes left it's just so god damned boring that I stopped watching.
Dexter is so fucking bad. Peaked at season 4 and it should have stopped right then and there. He was defeated. That was it.
Back to an amazing show, Breaking Bad. I'm still trying to piece together how Walt gets an M60…
I agree with your opinion on Dexter. I spoiled the last episode for myself.

i missed this. i was busy looking for the gas mask he flung forever ago when he was throwing a hissy fit.
Ditto on Dexter. It was never a "Best Drama" type show but it was pretty good. Fourth season was borderline amazing and John Lithgow should have won something for that. Everything since is dreadful and I'm actively hatewatching two straight hours of Showtime between that and Ray Donovan.
Damages was another really good show that gets little pub. I'm also probably bigger on Boardwalk Empire than most. I heard Margaret basically only does cameos this season which is unnerving since she was the most complex character by far.

I don't even care how the show ends. At this point I want them to kill that girl he loves and his son because maybe then he'll stop. I just want him to die or everyone he loves to die or him to get caught. I can't believe how terrible this last season has been. Was the goal really for him to chase, what, 2 or 3 serial killers and thrwart their efforts within 2 or 3 episodes? So stupid. So fucking stupid. People need to take shows away from Showtime after 3 or 4 seasons. Same damn thing happened to Weeds. So terrible.

Didn't a little girl pick that up and end up in Hanks hands so they went to Walts school and checked the supply closet? Was that the one?
oh i totally forgot about that!

he buys it from his weapons dealer in the denny's scene.

I wonder if he's still rolling around the barrel…
Need to catch up on the last episode. Seeing Walt bitch up in the shootout was priceless. I still think Jesse not being able to go truly apeshit over Brock was a let dow. He was on his way to just go all out and be *EL-P voice* full retard.
