Quoted from oJOHNNYoNUTSo This show is so flippin awesome.

Great pic.  Really brings home how well thought out and detailed this show is.

I now consider Breaking Bad the best television series of all time.  Masterpiece.

Pretty much, yeah. I think after the last episode (Ozymandias), that was set in stone. I think for the finale to be a disappointment, everyone involved flat out wouldn't have been able to make that episode happen. That said, this next week is going to be an excruciatingly slow crawl to next Sunday.

BTW, if anyone thinks that there's a series that's better than Breaking Bad, let me know and I will watch it ASAP. After BB's over, I'll be starting Game of Thrones and Twin Peaks regardless.

I don't think anything's better than BB at this point, but if you haven't watched it you should get started on Boardwalk Empire. The other two you mention are pretty darn good too.

BTW, does anyone think this show is going to end well at this point? It seems like there've been so many prospective glimmers of hope for characters throughout the last couple episodes that have effectively been snuffed out, especially in the last two. Basically every character who isn't a blatant antagonist seems to be behind the eight ball this time around, in a big way.

Quoted from LC I don't think anything's better than BB at this point, but if you haven't watched it you should get started on Boardwalk Empire. The other two you mention are pretty darn good too.

I'd definitely like to get to it in due time. If it's not better than Breaking Bad (which apparently it isn't), Game of Thrones and Twin Peaks will still take precedence after September 29.

After the final shot of the glass on the bar, I'm confident about it.  I'm amazed after all that's happened, Walt's ego still lingers.  But this time was different, and with an M60 in the trunk...gosh.

The writers have given Walt an impossible goal, virtually written his character into the farthest corner I have ever seen on television.  Odds are in favor of a brilliant solution.

did anyone notice Todd's proud little grin when Jesse talked about his murdering Drew Sharp on the video?

Hey James -

I'm not going to say *better* - but since you appreciate BB, you owe it to yourself to watch Orange is the New Black and Shameless.  Seriously...

Quoted from James McClung Twin Peaks will still take precedence after September 29.

I bought the Twin Peaks series earlier this year and it was just about as good now as it was 20 some years ago. I loved that show.

Last night's episode absoutely killed it. Set the stage perfectly for next week and I can't wait.

Lydia + Todd = bad news.

Pretty sure the ricin is for Lydia. Too much emphasis on the stevia.

I'm going to start Boardwalk Empire after BB. BB is still the #1 show ever made, but Game of Thrones is a solid second. Definitely worth checking out.

Quoted from albinopenguin Pretty sure the ricin is for Lydia. Too much emphasis on the stevia.

Yeah, you probably have it right there. Surprisingly predictable for WW/BB though.

I've watched Orange is the New Black all the way through. Really enjoyed it and totally onboard for Season 2.

Shameless, I've never heard of before. Looked into it. Sounds interesting.

Quoted from Grandma Bear I bought the Twin Peaks series earlier this year and it was just about as good now as it was 20 some years ago. I loved that show.

Good to hear. I saw the movie and hated it. Apparently fans of the show weren't totally in favor of it either though and the extent to which I've been encouraged to watch the show has convinced me to check it out. At the very least, it seems a much more likely candidate for Lynch's best work than Inland Empire.

Game of Thrones is a monster.

as far as Todd goes... best psychopath since Mr Blonde.

As much as I like Breaking Bad, for me it doesn't come close to The Wire. There have been too many episodes or certain storylines that I've had to push through rather than look forward to. In fairness some of these recent episodes have been fantastic though, plus one thing it does well is finish each episode with some form of cliffhanger, which usually means you have to watch the next one.

I think my main problem is I just don't like Walt, he's crossed a few too many lines for my liking, so much so that I want him dead. I'm definitely team Jessie.

Having said that I do really like Todd. There's just something about him, I've never seen such a cold blooded killer played that way. Also, on the subject of Todd, is he a psychopath or a sociopath? I must admit I don't know the difference between the two but someone on facebook called him a sociopath and it's something I've been wondering for a while now. Maybe he's something else that I don't even know about?
