Agreed.

I really loved the whole thing. Could have been a movie. I was glued.

I wanted to see Walter going hunting/fishing and encounter a bear that he nicknames tuco and kills it with ricin-filled salmon burritos.

I hope it ends with Walt waking up gasping and saying "Oh my god I just had the craziest dream."

And then he looks around and Jesse's standing by the bed with a gun, and he says "It was no dream...BITCH."

BB viewership has grown exponentially over the last few weeks (record numbers for show). Either a million+ people binged the last couple weeks, or else they're starting a serialized show at its near end. Who on earth does this?

They probably just read the wiki and assumed they were caught up.

The real question is why the fuck is showtime running the Homeland season premiere against the BB finale?

Clearly Walt Jr. is going to become a meth addict.

I have a strong feeling that I won't be able to sleep very well for the fourth straight Sunday night. The last four episodes have kind of messed me up.

The only two times television has done that to me was when Jimmy Smits died on NYPD Blue, and when Carter & Lucy were stabbed on ER

It'll be disappointing if they don't show Walt Jr eating breakfast in the finale.

All I know is that you yanks crying about a distraught baby on a television screen are fucking pathetic. Yes, it was moving. No, you or your naive wife didn't have to leave the room. Come the fuck on. This is Breaking Bad.

Ha. I'm glad you brought that up and not me.

I'm worked up because the show is so unforgiving as of late. Very intense & emotional. But yeah, calm down parents, Todd is not standing over your baby's crib.

These last two episodes have been great. Tense and moving. But nothing I could ever imagine losing sleep -- or having troubling sleeping -- over.

It's just emotional reaction based on identifying with the characters on the screen. I don't know what kind of media you guys normally watch, but violence against infants is not something I am used to seeing. But I get that you are cooler than wussy old-man me. I'll go listen to Sirens while cleaning cheerios out of my minivan now.
