Hey everybody, welcome back! Jim and I are dusting off the Watching Dead and prepping it for another season of sprinting, screaming, shooting, and stabbing. We’re coming officially back next week on Tuesday, for our complete pre-season 4 coverage. So if you want us to cover anything in particular, drop us a line using the…
Read MoreAnd now we arrive at the end, “Felina”. I had such an awesome time at our Breaking Bad finale party, that it didn’t even sink in until my private rewatchings at home how bittersweet it was. Walt falling dead in the arms of his lover; science, chemistry, even meth, after having finally provided for his family, made peace with his wife, and freed his partner… it was pretty intense. A lot of people, critics and fans, have quibbles about the pacing, the plot, the neatness of it all, but to me, it was a love letter from Vince to us. Like Batman to Gotham city, “Felina” perhaps wasn’t the ending that Walt, and by extension, us, deserved. But it was the ending that we needed.

I don’t know what the reaction is from the critics, or even a sizable sample of the Breaking Bad fandom, but from our little room in Anderson, Indiana, everyone seemed to really dig the finale, as did everyone on our Facebook thread. I outlined at the beginning of this season what I was hoping the…
Read MoreThe Villigan has been quoted as saying the series finale of Breaking Bad would not please all the fans. While I agree that it’s impossible to please everyone, this is one fan who was certainly pleased. I can’t imagine a more fitting end for Walter White. He finally admitted that his reasons for doing the…
Read MoreThe End of Breaking Bad. Wow. I think I’m still in denial, honestly, but what I’m not denying is this: this was the most incredible finale season I’ve ever seen, and I am 100% satisfied with how things went for the final episode.

The penultimate episode turned out to be the calm before the presumed storm of the finale. It featured many scenes of quiet introspection, a character study of two desperate men; one with no choices available to him at all, and the other with a few good choices left but lacking the will to act on any of them, too prideful and stubborn to admit defeat. Not to his lawyer, not to the authorities, not to his family, not to death himself.
Come join us for a discussion of vulgar neo-nazi gang signs, dopey, dead-eyed pieces of shit, the arguable “death” of Heisenberg, grey matters, the plump, full lips gang, Flynn’s righteous anger, and the straw(s) that un-broke the Heisenberg’s back.

I think I may have dropped the oh-shit-this-show-makes-me-feel-dirty bomb a week too early. That idea was ratcheted up this week. All along, we’ve been questioning where to draw the line on Walter White. When should we jump ship and say “this is an evil man, he deserves what he gets”? For many, that line was…
Read MoreUp until tonight, I could see a semi-happy ending to Breaking Bad. I had to squint maybe, but it was there. Okay, so what if Walt, Skyler, Hank, Marie, even Walt Jr. end up biting it. We can always have Jesse and Baby Holly on the run with a barrel full of cash. I’d take…
