I might be late to the party as this is only the 2nd season I've watched, but I am done with LA Ink.

Given the end of last week, and the beginning of this week, this has to be the last season of BB.

Either that or its the season where Walt takes yet another step towards becoming Tony Montana. A very dry, white Tony Montana.

If anything ends this season, it's looking more like Hank and Marie's marriage is on the chopping block.

Breaking Bad could go on forever if they keep padding it with filler like tonight.

Although that is Bill Burr. If somebody from Philly ****es him off, this could go places.

Power went out within the first 5 minutes of tonight's ep, am watching the rerun now, and I coulda told you the marriage is dunzo. Hints of it last season, coming to a head right now.

"The draft's two months from now! This...is useless!" (true, but still kinda cold)

I don't agree that it's filler. The Gale fallout is happening at a natural pace, which is giving us time to take a deeper look at how the characters are changing. A thought from the AVClub review of tonight's episode that I agree with completely:

The handwringing about Breaking Bad’s pacing, and the demands for more economical storytelling, are getting louder as the season progresses. Let me be clear about my position: This is awesome stuff. Withholding conventional kinds of tension relievers (action sequences, guns going off, explosions, confrontations, etc.) is one of the show’s most effective strategems. Instead of ticking off conventional causes and effects, triggers and consequences, the mechanism of the characters’ psyches -- under increasing strain from various angles -- gets wound tighter and tighter. This week Skyler’s rachet starts clicking over, and we are going to measure the tensile strength of her character in the weeks to come.

I'll come forth with exhibit A: The Fly episode.

You loved it, or hated it. Stand-alone episode. ALL character development. I loved it. Added depth, although on the surface, it had no point. Just sayin'.
 
Re: TV Shows 6: Abed and Troy in the Morning! Havvveeee you met Ted's Wife yet?

I would be very surprised and disappointed if this is the last season of Breaking Bad. I don't have a problem with the pacing of the show, like I said after last weeks episode, they just keep building the story and by the halfway point of the season the whole story is going to explode.
 
Re: TV Shows 6: Abed and Troy in the Morning! Havvveeee you met Ted's Wife yet?

Marie, who WAS the most "wholesome" *cough cough* of the show, is a total beech and con artist. Wow.
 
Re: TV Shows 6: Abed and Troy in the Morning! Havvveeee you met Ted's Wife yet?

The only way we're "watching the character's change" is keeping track of the ridiculous growth of Anna Gunn's ***.

The problem with tonight is that is focused too much on the female characters which are by far the weakest characters on the show, and that BB has a very difficult time writing episodes that work as stand-alone episodes as well as advancing the overall story.(The Fly and a few others are the rare exceptions) The last two weeks don't stand up on their own at all, and moved the story forward very, very incrementally. This week was basically 46 minutes of TV that could have been told in 10 well-written minutes.

The good news is that it looks like next week solves that problem by having actual story to tell.
 
Re: TV Shows 6: Abed and Troy in the Morning! Havvveeee you met Ted's Wife yet?

BB makes 10 minutes of great into an episode of awesomeness. That's the point. That's why (IMO) it takes a bit to get hooked. It's deliberately slow-paced, multi-layered, etc. Then boom. It all goes to hell. This is setting up something big for the females. What? I dunno. I also didn't think Walt would do what he did at the end of season 3, even given the buildup. Given the history, if Marie decided to off Hank in a crime of passion, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, I would be, but not.
 
Re: TV Shows 6: Abed and Troy in the Morning! Havvveeee you met Ted's Wife yet?

I'm also curious what is going to happen to Jesse. His issues with dealing with what he did are very quickly spiraling way out of control. I haven't figures out what they're doing with Marie, but since they spent so much time on her tonight, I would be surprised ifahe doesn't have a very important role soon pertaining to the main storyline.

She's always been that way. She's a kleptomaniac and a selfish seee you next tuesday. And has only been 'nice' since her husband got shot up and Walt and Skyler decided to pay for everything.

That's why I put "wholesome" in quotes. I guess what I'm saying is, how bad she really is was magnified last night. Now we know she's on the others' levels, relatively.
 
Re: TV Shows 6: Abed and Troy in the Morning! Havvveeee you met Ted's Wife yet?

Watching Modern Family tonight. I forgot how funny it is. :)

I seldom watch it during the season because it's on the wrong night, but they really do a sitcom right.
 
Re: TV Shows 6: Abed and Troy in the Morning! Havvveeee you met Ted's Wife yet?

Skyler needs to go. Either STeffU or die. I don't care which.
 
Re: TV Shows 6: Abed and Troy in the Morning! Havvveeee you met Ted's Wife yet?

I don't know... it's sort of interesting to see Skyler's version of cold hard practicality compared to Walter's.

Also: I continue to enjoy how great of a character Gale is. Fantastic.
 
Re: TV Shows 6: Abed and Troy in the Morning! Havvveeee you met Ted's Wife yet?

Here you go Whovians. The mid-season trailer. August 27th is the date.

Skyler is going to make things worse. I just know it. Her controlling nature + anality (probably not a word, but it is now) will come back to bite them both.

And THAT was a nice little tidbit. JFC.

Edit: Mike continues to be my favorite character.
