Just finished season 4 on netflix, and about to play catch up for this season. I have watched so much Breaking Bad that I can't stop dreaming about it when I sleep. SOA, seems boring to me in comparison....hahaaha

Great series. Kinda sucks though that season 5 stopped in the middle and starts again 2013 summer. [Beer]
I just started season one. What a disfunctional family! I love it so far so don't put any spoilers out there [Beer]

I just signed up for Nexflix a couple weeks ago and Breaking Bad was the first show I grabbed. I watched all 4 season over about 2 weeks. What a great series.

Why? Although we all like to root for Walt, in real life we'd celebrate Skylar and pray for Walt's death.
Thats something I like about this show. Before you know it, you are sucked into Walt's madness and viewing everyone else as the bad guy.

Watching the final season, I don't quite feel this way anymore.
When he didnt die of cancer at the end of Season 1, I just was hoping it would end with a lab explosion and be done.

...he sure is. I'm actually a lot more sympathetic for Skylar now, even tho she is annoying as all get out. Walt's desire to be the "meth king" and increasing callousness is making failure inevitable...

I quit after season 1.
Breaking Bad is the rarest of shows: a show I can't watch because it's too good at what it sets out to do.
Walt starts as a sympathetic guy, and you really feel for him even though his choice is wrong. Then the show illustrates perfectly why that choice was wrong; that first choice has lead to all his other choices, necessitated them in fact, and you can see the trainwreck that's going to be his life from about the end of season 1 onwards.
It's painful. It's actually a really good morality play, to watch his corruption that all originates with 1 very bad choice. But I can't watch it.

Meth turns decent people into scumbags. Halfway through Season 1 I lost whatever sympathy I might've had for Walt . . . because he had become a scumbag, even though he wasn't actually using. He should've just shot himself in the face, but then they would not have gotten 3 more seasons out of this show. I fail to see the appeal.

Ever seen a massive trainwreck? It's that, except it's a fairly normal guy turning into the most evil bastard you can imagine.

Resurrection time: I'm amazed that the finale started 2 weeks ago and no one has posted any comments.
Looks to me like it's going to be full of some great story twists as of now.

Agreed, now that Walt has been made....Gonna be good!

That seems to be the same M60 from 'live free or die' episode from last year.

It is. The start of "Blood Money" takes place shortly after he left the Denny's parking lot in "Live Free or Die", advancing the end of the series plot just a little bit before diving back in time to fill in more backstory, picking up where "Gliding Over All" left off.

ETA: Hi-five Cofi!!

Just last night I finished watching Season 3. Up to this point, I think I dislike the Walter much more than Skyler though, there is a little voice inside my head that tells me that these two deserve one another.

Prepare for her to blow your mind. She's Marge Simpson x infinity. Walt is a scoundrel for sure, but the way she deals with everything just kills me.

DISCLAIMER::: Only 1/2 way through S5. That kid jessie should have been offed once he fucked up, the first time. The spouse she should have been turned out for fun & profit. PROVIDING she was unable to talk.
EVERYONE in that show deserves to be killed for their stupidity. It's been 4 -5 months since we stopped watching S5. It's not one of those MUST SEE shows, for me. The spouse thinks it's a good show, go figure.

He was supposed to be killed in the first season, but proved too popular and was kept around. Writers need to take a que from George R.R. Martin and learn that you can kill likable characters and people will still keep watching.

LIKEABLE?? He's a junkie deadbeat fuck. One considers that kind of person likeable, they need to reexamine their life choices. Too bad walt doesn't have the stones to do it or hire out.

The Carwash was recently bought by some big company. If they were smart they'd get some naming rights from AMC and call it A-1 and turn it into a tourist trap.

I hated Jessie at first, but by the end of the series found him to be the most sympathetic character on the show; and Walt the most despicable.

+1 I think it developed such momentum and when it was time to end it, they simply didnt know how to. It's the same as Suprano etc etc. I hope they didnt mess up walking dead.
I thought the ending was perfectly realistic. I didn't have any complaints.
My wife and I both loved it

What is the statute of limitations on spoiler alerts? Do different media types have different limits? I'd say that books should have longer limits than television and movies. Not sure where plays stand though.

I loved BB. My wife was also reluctantly drawn in, but she wouldn't finish season 5 though. Drives me nuts that we can't talk about the ending.
Started watching Orange is the New Black as well over the Christmas break. Season 1 was pretty decent, but season 2 is starting out a lot more slowly.
Orange is the New Black was good. It's no Breaking Bad. Now that I've figured out the language setting on Netflix, I've been watching a bunch of anime.

I am halfway through Orange is the New Black and my wife is all ticked off, she thinks I am only into it because of all the nude women. I'm not gonna lie, the naked chicks, especially the hot ones, are a plus but the story is interesting. The lady on lady sex is just gravy on top (no pun intended). [Wink]

Watched MP in 3 sittings during the cold weather spree. Like DaVinci's Demon's it's a period piece. Don't watching it expecting GOT action etc. However it held our interest AND if you took the hypothetical , what if of this version how Marco Polo was in China. it's interesting.

What is GOT action? Guns or Tits?
Game of Thrones.
If your wife complains about the nudity in Orange is the New Black, she won't be very pleased with GOT either. :)

That's what I love about this forum, great intel and insight. Now I am going to have to check out GOT, strictly for the historical education of course.
If you're a reader, go ahead and read the books first. HBO is doing a great job with the show so far. Not sure how well they'll be able to stick to the story from this point on though. They've technically got two books worth of material before they reach the point where R.R. Martain has run out of published material.
