Last week in our podcast covering “To’Hajiilee”, I refused to judge the wisdom of ending the episode in the middle of what everyone expected to be a fatal gunfight for Hank, Gomie, Jesse, Walt or maybe just everyone. After seeing this week’s episode – “Ozymandias” – I’m glad I held that judgement.
Read MoreBreaking Bad returned to form, once again proving that it’s worth grinding your gears a little to get to the “good stuff”. In this case, the “good stuff” was really, really bad, awful in places, but it was some of the best damned television I’ve ever watched. What else can you say about an hour…
Read MoreYou all saw the episode. You know we have much to talk about. Let’s get it on then! Jesse! Hank! Walt Jr! Holly! Todd! We hit all the high points, but join us for our COMPLETE coverage on Tuesday night!

The tables are turned this week and the mighty Heisenberg is finally captured… at least for a few seconds. Though not quite as twisty as last week’s timeline-slight-of-hand episode, I really appreciated the way the plot unfolded in To’Hajiilee. Hank has a history of taking pictures of crime scenes on his shitty 90’s flip phone…
Read MoreIn the final analysis, Walt’s empire business has crumbled all because Huell, card carrying member of Saul’s “A-Team”, hasn’t heard Bald Move’s standing Public Service Announcement, “Don’t Ever Talk to Caps, Man, For Real.” Walt tried to do Los Pollos Hermanos on the cheap, and from the start Vamanos Pest Control has plagued by problems…
Read MoreWhile quite a few people got some of the broad strokes right, again, Vince Gilligan and crew made sure that we were all left guessing and trying to puzzle out where we were going until The End… and what an end it was. Jim and A.Ron struggle to put their thoughts into words as we deliver a instant take where we try to make sense of how we got here, what we thought of it, and where we’re left. Join us for our full coverage Tuesday night!

Can Breaking Bad do an entire 8 episode final season with the pedal to the metal and end each one on a massive cliffhanger? Well, yes and no. Yes, they keep their cliffhanger streak alive with a shadow phone call to Team Panzer Grey, but this episode, while taught, well acted, and fascinating in it’s…
Read MoreThe trouble with setting up a season with the pace and skill that the final season of Breaking Bad has been set with is that you can’t let off the throttle without taking some criticism. That’s how I felt about 512 Rabid Dog.
Read MoreA.Ron and I rushed off to the mics again to talk about episode 512, “Rabid Dog”. We ask the hard questions such as: Has Skyler broken bad? Has Hank broken bad? Is there any freakin’ one on this show who HASN’T broken bad? Also, what would Huel do with Walt’s money?

As I said on the instant take podcast, one of my pet peeves is when sportscasters immediately declare that something they just saw was the greatest “game”, “performance”, “comeback”, “catch” etc. in the history of the sport! As humans, we tend to overvalue new experiences and discount older ones. Our memories play tricks on us,…
