ot: breaking bad

[phillionaire]

last night was the first time I've ever watched the show as it aired, I can't do the week to week thing, I'm going back to my preferred method of watching tv series and just waiting until the season is done and doing the marathon viewing.

that's the best part though it's like you're going through withdrawals

As a Mad Men and The Killing fan it is time I sat down and started watching this damn show.....because I have never sat to watch a full episode or even close I don't dare to keep it on for long for fear of not knowing what the hell is going on therefore not giving the show it's due......how many episodes am I looking at in ALL??

By the way just sat and watched the 4 episodes of "SUITS" after I kinda got into the 1st one......underrated show and now has my full attention as "Harvey" is to this show what Don is to Mad Men......good stuff thus far!!

yea I'm a big fan of Suits as well, love the style of it and Rachel is a dime. I'm waiting for the season to end to start with season 2. The Killing tho, mau how can you put yourself through that??

I prefer the feeling of getting that good fix by watching like 5 episodes all in a row, coming down, then doing it all over again.

People are split on the episode as a potential jump the shark episode. See reviews below.....Iusually like the pyschological shows. That one missed me.

and tonight good stuff. I still have Skyler as the heavy in this series and offing Walt despite the movie rumors....

I think people posting/commenting on the internet tend to complain more than they praise. I know many people thought it was boring, but among critics, it's generally seen as a "great" episode. It wasn't my favorite -- I think it does not compare favorably to Mad Men's episode "The Suitcase," for example -- but it was important. I could watch the paint on Walter White's house dry and find it fascinating, so I think it's bizarre that anyone could be bored by an episode where such important things are communicated. (And whoever said it would be a JTS episode ended up being DEAD WRONG. So, again, I tend to somewhat dismiss the "worst. episode. ever." complaints by some people who didn't like to watch talking instead of explosions. I'm not referring to you, btw; I'm referring to the commenters to the article you linked.)

I thought last night's premiere was pretty good. Not GREAT, but solid.

No explanation for The Killing other than it got me and I enjoyed it.......Harvey's assistant Donna does it for me as well as Rachel....lol....Harvey's arrogance is a hoot.....

I agree.
