From what I know of BB, it's not my style. Lots of hyperventilating One Strong Man posturing. Imagine an entire show about Ehrmantraut. The Sopranos: New Mexico.

Fine as seasoning, but overrich as a meal.

So in summary, MT, if you want to know what you're talking about regarding BB and not say dumb shit like this, you should watch BB.
 
Yeah, about the only argument that I could make for watching BCS before BB is that BB sets an almost impossible standard for BCS to reach.

It would be interesting to watch the entire BB universe in chronological order, but like handy said, the fast forwards would be missing some context. I'm trying to decide if the character reveals would be more fun in BB if you've already seen them in BCS or vise versa.

Actually, I bet someone tries to put together a BB universe supercut once BCS ends that will put together everything into a timeline. Then of course there's El Camino that needs to go in there, but that's a pretty compressed story time-wise.
 
I won't lie, I like BCS better than BB. BB was soooooooooo slow at times it was painful. Until Gale shows up...then it rocks!!!

BB has the higher highs but BCS is just great consistently imho.
 
I watched the ESPN 30 For 30 on Greg Norman last night. I thought it was ok, and enjoyed it, although I thought the filmmaker and a fair number of the talking heads were pretty harsh on Norman. The guy was a terrific golfer for a long period of time. Undoubtedly he is known for some of his great losses, but still. In my opinion, the two people who came out looking the best in the show were Norman and Jack Nicklaus.

The show did have a really interesting moment, and sort of an unfair moment, near the end.

The talking heads were talking about the idea that Norman was "snakebit" in some of these major tournaments, versus the idea that he was simply a choker. A couple of them made the point that while Bob Tway did beat Norman in the PGA by making a miracle shot out of the bunker on the last hole, and Larry Mize won the Master's playoff by making a miracle chip shot on the second playoff hole, in both instances Norman found himself in that position because he had played very poorly down the stretch.

The talking heads then asked the question, was Norman really snakebit, or did he simply play himself into a position to allow those things to happen to him. The clear suggestion was, if he wasn't such a choker, Tway doesn't have a chance to win with his chip in, and there is no playoff in the Masters.

The filmmaker then goes to Norman and asks this question: "There are two schools of thought. One is that you were snakebit in these tournaments, and the second is that you played yourself into a position to have these bad things happen to you. Do you agree with either?"

Norman picked the latter, but it was clear from his answer that he interpreted the latter school of thought as something like, "Norman was such a good player, for so long, that he put himself into multiple positions where he could be beat out for a major championship by miracle shots."

As a viewer you just wanted to say, "ah Greg, that's not really what they were saying."

All and all, though, an interesting watch, especially if you like golf and are old enough to remember any of the events.
 
I am waiting a couple weeks to start Season 6 because I know it will be a binge-a-thon.

I have so many questions though about where certain characters will be by the finale. I have some theories (mainly Kim Wexler) but it could literally go anywhere.

Bob Odenkirk is just outstanding but the supporting cast is just so dang good. Lelo, Nacho, Kim, Mike, Gustavo...so great!
 
Spoilers:

The Handshake nearly made me sh-t my pants. Ten seconds it took six seasons to create.

I loved the Con Couple got a reprise. Two of my favorite peripheral characters.
 
I didn’t realize it was already coming out but S2 of The Flight Attendant is now out.

Also can’t recommend That Dirty Black Bag nor Tokyo Vice enough.

Some people do watch Adam Sandler crap though. I don’t know them, but I’m sure they exist

Look I watch a lot of bad tv and movies when I want to shut my mind off (or if I am say...under the influence) and the previews for all that crap was so bad I couldn't make it through the whole minute or whatever. And I like Adam Sandler films for the most part.

Netflix is a money laundering operation its the only explanation.
