What sold that scene for me wasn't Cranston, or the music. They helped obviously. It was actually Skyler. The rage emitting out of Walt was intense and how she was reacting to it and realizing what it meant made everything work.

I'm surprised she acted so well there. In season  5 episode 1, she is just staring into space when she looks scared. What happen?

You know the laugh scene is going to be shown at the Emmys when they run down the names. In one scene you're gonna have Cranston giving everyone goosebumps, standing ovation, on the other you're gonna have Hamm being a douchebag savant with that Dreamworks expression plastered on his face to a tepid applause.

More than likely it will be the part in season 5 where Don chases his wife in violent rage with the threat that he's going to beat her.

But nice try.

you cant really comment on jon hamm's acting chops until you see season 4 or 5. the suitcase, the summer man, and any number of scenes in season 5 between him and joan or him and megan sold me on him being tv's best actor. he can sell emotions so fucking subtlely that it always impresses me.

Yup. The commercial breaks for this season of BB have been awkward as fuck too. I seem to remember there being no commercials between the cold open and the show proper. AMC are scurred.

They're really fucking up with all these faux reality shows and stupid shit. I can understand why they felt The Killing was appealing, but it hasn't worked out. Weak ratings and bad reviews. I heard AMC has another crime show in the works, and The Killing hasn't been renewed yet...so yeah. We'll see.

Walking Dead will soon be their sole bread and butter. They better find a show to replace BB and Mad Men in the next couple years

Doesn't AMC have an adaptation of World War Z coming or is that a film?

They are already off and it didn't stop the premiere from doing well by BB standards.

I agree its gonna be rough when BB and Mad Men are done but they have one more year for BB and i guess MM will be out by then as well.

amc is still on my dish ???

Mad Men will have maybe 2 more seasons. They want it to encompass the entire 1960's.

Really? Some already don't have it and had to watch it on streams and shit, i guess its going on a phase thing?

2 more seasons should be able to keep them going for a while but they better hope they can get another hit to keep going

The Shitting Dead, as bad as it is, still brings in ratings. So that's something!

Second half of Walking Dead S2 was great. If they  can continue that momentum, the show could be very good

I wonder what take on anti-heroes will AMC come up with next. I'd love to see another mob show arise, preferably a period piece to avoid 1:1 Sopranos comparisons. Wasn't there talk of AMC doing a show based on Goodfellas, actually?

Not season one?  It was the second best reviewed new show of that year by critics.  The second season not so much, but far from anything produced, created by or starting Whitney Cummings.

jon hamm always makes the same goddamn fucking face during emotional moments. maybe cranston does the same shit, but it never stood out to me. i realize i'm bringing this discussion back up, but i only just today watched the second episode of this season of BB. show is fucking amazing.

The slope since the premiere has been upwards for me. I wonder if they can maintain this momentum but its only like 8 episodes? So maybe they can.

Between last season's lack luster acting and this year's horrible acting I don't know what to think. I personally loved gustavo's character and his death, but everyone's acting just bothers me to no end. Season 1-3 feel different in comparison to 4-5 so far.
