i had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that it was going to be july/july so i'm ok. obviously would have liked it july/march or something but, oh well.
if they are taking that long of a break they should at least make the seasons 13 episodes and not 8. This is just fucking greedy of the network.
aaronpaul_8: Dear everyone, Season 5 is not our final season. We start shooting season 6 in November and that will air sometime next year. Get excited!
oh god yes in other news i just finished season 3 of The Wire tonight. The season really picked up the last four episodes or so. Cant wait to start season 4 now. Thing is, I think I've watched back to back episodes of The Wire twice, but when I started Breaking Bad I would peel off three at a time with ease.
Rarely buy shows/movies anymore, but Breaking Bad is one of the few I make exceptions for. Season 4 only $25 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Breaking-Bad-...PG2K/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1339037581&sr=8-5
thinking of doing the same thing here pretty soon. Think i'll wait until 2 weeks before the premier and just watch one a night because i have the wire (just finished s1) deadwood (just finished s2) and AD (half way through season 2) rewatches going on right now. but once mid july gets closer, this show will take precedence.
I'd like to rewatch the entire series again before season 5 begins, not sure I'll get around to it though.
I'm currently rewatching and keeping a pen and paper story arc of Walt to keep track of how his character changes and devolves through various stages of moral confusion and degradation
I'm outside enjoying the summer sitting on patio bars and looking at half naked women. But yeah, what you're doing sounds pretty sweet too.
Thought about doing something like that if there's any time left this summer. Can you post pen and paper stats of the number of girls you've seen and their relative undress factor plotted against a running total of your blood alcohol level?
Well I blew through the whole show in about 10 days or so. Very enjoyable show. A little too much deus ex machina throughout for my liking and I think they went a little far in trying to shoehorn the poisoning from Walt in at the end so that it logistically made very little sense at all but real excited for season 5 to get started. Going to hate having to wait for the final season after being able to breeze through the first 4.
Three episodes in on my season four rewatch. Forgot how much of a prick Hank was before he got back in his Heisenberg stuff. Such an ass early in the season.
Jesse's house early in S4 when he comes back and the party is still raging may be the darkest scene in cable tv I've ever seen.
I know I'll get crucified for realizing this so late but holy fuck... Saul is the guy who was going for his Doctorate and got it by not having sex with Elaine in Seinfeld.
He's also the marriage counselor that decides he wants to be an actor after meeting with Tobias and Lindsey in Arrested Development.
If any of you have Dish Network, you're gonna wanna switch before July 15th. They're dumping AMC in exactly two weeks. Feud between the two has gotten to a ridiculous level apparently. Dish Network is clearly Shit Network. No AMC and no Sunday Ticket. What is the point of having it then? lol
I always lol at anyone with dish. If you're going to go satellite, why get such a ridiculously inferior version?
Yeah I pretty much hated Hank at one point. Was really hoping he died when he got capped by those crazy ass silent dudes
