One more, there are exactly 15 episodes left (2 more this season). This season really does feel like the final one though. I can't see another arc after this.

About the episode that just aired. Perfect TV. That ending gave me chills.

this is exactly why something huge has to happen in the next two eps! they can't drag the current situation out much/any further which is obviously why it's ramped up so quickly over the last 2-3 eps. i am so excited about the possibilities but the start of this season did kinda shatter my illusions re: vince gilligan's infallibility plus walt revealing that the cancer's back (either in the next or the last episode) will probably slow things down again

. i'm kinda sad that nothing too bad can happen to walt any time soon because i've really come to hate him over the course of this season. he will have to get pretty charming for me to not be glad when he dies in s05e17!

Starting Spartacus, but am already sad about the lead actor.

Also found a copy of Clone Wars (CG) Season 1. Watched an ep. It was surprisingly good, but clearly targeted at kids, like the Prequels.

Later episodes are a lot less kiddie, there's some pretty harsh deaths.

Why do people call him Flynn?

he briefly tried to get people to call him Flynn in the 1st or 2nd season as a heavy handed way of showing how little he respected his namesake. can't remember what Walt had done to deserve that though.. maybe just all the time away from home? i should rewatch this show in its entirety but my gf is really against rewatching anything.

OptimoPeach · « **Reply #3076 on:** October 01, 2011, 12:00:32 PM »

Three episodes into Terriers. Best pilot I've seen in a while! It's definitely not without its weaknesses -- I'm especially unimpressed by the character of Hank, who feels like a neutered version of the same antihero protagonist I've been watching for a decade, and there have also been a few distractingly bad lines of dialogue -- but I can understand the outrage over it being canned after a single season.

Speaking of the cancellation, every promo pic I saw for this show had me thinking it was about the bromance between a pair of dog catchers or something. I would have never watched if I didn't see it mentioned here and on /tv/.

edit: Might as well cover Fringe S4 while I'm at it. What a mess. The monster-of-the-week episodes are the strongest thing it has going right now.

Peter not existing past childhood is idiotic on so many levels. I still cringe at the thought of that awful scene at the end of S3 with all the Observers "explaining" his disappearance

i was at the panel. there was an amazing cheer that went up.

the cast was amazing and still had wonderful chemistry together.

at the request of a fan, they closed out with the chicken dance.

edit: they also said that it would be a mini-series rather than a season, with just catching up on where the cast has been the past 5 years with each episode adding to an overall meta plot that would lead directly into the first scene in the movie.

also all of the stuff about Michael Cera being the hold out for a movie was a joke.

when Maeybe kissed George Michael in the pilot it was actually Alia Shawkat's first kiss. Ever. She explained it as her father was from the Middle East and VERY Middle Eastern.

i don't think what actually happened will turn out to be as straightforward as walt put forth. it just doesn't sit right. it almost seems more likely that walt perpetrated the poisoning himself at this stage (or what was with the gun pointing to the pot plant, saul being desperate to see jesse). definitely gonna be some heavy shit going down next week and i am pumped!

re: gus being a wizard, i have been suspicious of his powers ever since the "terminator shit" when he walked straight at the sniper. i was hoping that his not walking to the van would lead to the big reveal and that he'd heard walt from the roof of the other building. it could still happen!

I'm gonna cast my lot in with the people saying Walt dunnit to get Jesse's support, but I have a feeling he cooked up some other shit that just made it look like the kid was poisoned. Walt's a pretty big piece of shit these days and I feel like they want to take that as far as they can.

Dunno what to think of that Breaking Bad ep.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm not sure I see how Gus or Walt could have poisoned the kid. Over at GAF some are speculating Hector had someone do it, to get revenge. That could make sense, but once again what was the window of time for that to happen? The kid plays videogames with Jesse, Walt comes over (but doesn't enter the house), shortly afterwards Gus' men are outside. Obviously it could have been done off camera, but I'm still not seeing it.

hector poisoning brock doesn't make any sense to me. while he has the motivation to do something i don't think jesse would be his first target and i don't think poisoning the kid is the first thing an outsider would think of. i'm pretty convinced walt is the guy that done this. the main tip off for me is walt and camera both focusing on the plant which is obviously a weakness as brock is primarily rock type.

If it turns out that Walt is somehow responsible, I'll probably be fine with it. There were a few brief facepalm-filled seconds where I seriously thought they were going to say the kid ingested it by smoking the cigarette.

Also, when watching the end of the prior episode with Walt losing his shit in the crawlspace, I had a really stupid stoned thought that Walt might be in the onset stage of Huntington's Disease

[close]

edit: I actually forgot about that Dexter episode. Some genuinely funny parts, some considerably boring, and a whole lot of ham-fisted religious crap. Still can't be worse than last season! I'll keep watching for Michael C. Hall and Edward James Olmos.

I also finished Terriers. Great show. Not much else to say. I would have donated to keep it on the air

All caught up on Childrens Hospital.
