Dexter? Blech.

Schlocky camp.

Breaking Bad is probably a top 15 - top 10 show for me. Can name many better shows without giving the list much thought.

The natural conclusion of the show was After he killed Fring. Then the next natural conclusion was when he had Hank killed. The final season left a lot to be desired.

I really liked Walt becoming the big boss. That was right up his character arc. His whole problem was being too ego driven to begin with. The natural progression was to be the guy at the top.

I just wonder if they rushed the story too much after that. While it was a real good thing that they stopped the show at the heights of it's popularity, and something more shows should do, instead of trying to squeeze out every last dime and ruining the story in the process, I think there wasn't enough of Walt BEING the boss to have it make as much sense as it should have. Plus you coulda had some real fun episodes with it.

As well, the biker gang just coming in and taking over seemed a little off. I don't wanna say lazy, cause it wasn't horrible, but maybe if they had spent a little more time developing the story of Walt as the boss, they coulda found a better reason for his downfall.

Well I guess Hank was the big reason for his downfall, but you know what I mean.

Instead of a longer split season, maybe two full seasons for Walt as the boss and his downfall woulda been the way to go.

I'm still in the overrated camp for Breaking Bad because the last season actually wasn't that great but seasons 2 through 4 were very good. After Gus got killed the show kind of spiralled out of focus.

Non barrel set is also cheap at $87. I think it has everything except the physical goodies.

Well, that site is also running stories about The Big Lebowski 2 which will begin shooting next year. And that Obama is running for President for a third term.

A prequel?

It actually just features a mild mannered school teacher trying to do his best to help his students with the simple troubles of being a teen.

Not sure they could do a sequel/prequel. They are all working on Saul?

Here you can listen to a detailed podcast about every episode:

Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad's creator) and Kelley Dixon (Breaking Bad editor) host a weekly conversation with the cast and crew of AMC's original series Breaking Bad.

But it has nothing to do with any of his criminal activities. Its all about the trials and tribulations of being a regional manager of a fast food chain.

Person #1: Why me, Gus? Why do I have to work the deep fryer today?

Gus: I like to think I see things in people.

They are, and thank god for that. Usually I'm not a fan of spin-offs, but BCS is just awesome. I'd rather see them all concentrate on Saul than attempt a BB prequel.

Started re-watching last week and am already on season two.

There is so much I've forgotten about, plus I'm watching it with someone who hasn't seen it before.

Damn I love this show.

Haha I actually did too. On Season 2 Episode 4 right now.

So much you don't remember plus if you have seen Better Call Saul it makes it more interesting.
