All Things:AMC television

I just watched Sunday's episode... WOW WOW WOW. The last 5 minutes were insane. I don't know if anyone reads Alan Sepinwall but i thought he made a great point... how the last 5 episodes have had insane last sections. **SPOILERS** The freakout/breakdown/money missing of this last episode, the shootout before, the walt/jesse fight before that...

ANd how usually when shows keeping upping the wow factor it means a show is in trouble. But BB just manages to pull it off. I love that nothign would surprise me with this show. They could kill anyone off right now and I'd believe it. Like if you told me that Bryan Cranston was gonna be killed this Sunday, even though there are still like 17 episodes left, I'd believe it. And I'd probably go with it.

so love this show.

I dunno why, but the "Jesse says, Bitch" really made lolz.

Sepinwall is brilliant, I link to his blog almost ridiculously. Dude knows good tv. Disagree with him about the Killing...but not to the point I want to dismiss him. Look, BB is a miraculous thing. A self contained microcosm of folks doing all the wrong things...yet, you like them, and you root for them. Network tv just does not get this. The fact that this show has a finite end in site...just makes it a well told story. Walt rolling around and laughing at just how well and truly ****ed he is...well, that was brilliant. So many moves...he thought he was so smart...yet he is undone by those around him. Do you hate the Chicken man. Not at all. Funny how gangsta Skyler has gone...yet she don't see it. This is THE SHOW THAT EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH. Period.

Was so struck by the dichotomy of how Gus is so prepared for everything (to quote jesse) and Walt was so not prepared. Money under the house. Making up stories as he goes along. Calling Saul. And yet there they were in the desert. And Walt is Gus' intellectual equal. And Gus can't do a damn thing about it for now.

Can't agree with you more about having a finite end. so much better to never have a wasted episode. everything moves towards a place. so much more enjoyable to look back at a totally tight 5 season show then a 7 season show where ya go.. yea... season 1 was good.. and parts of 2 and 3 rocked but 5 was bleh.
 
AMC Orders Comedy Presentation From Rob Roy Thomas – Deadline.com

AMC is venturing into half-hour comedy with a presentation order to Rob Roy Thomas’ How To Cheat On Your Wife. The single-camera comedy, which Thomas is writing, directing and executive producing, centers on four nice guys in flyover country dealing with middle age.

Thomas originally shot a short presentation for the project on his own about six months ago. In it, the four friends meet the day after they are reunited at the funeral of their first dead friend. After seeing that footage, AMC put the comedy project in development and, as part of the development process, Thomas will film a new presentation.

Thomas, creator of Fox’s Free Ride and co-creator of NBC’s Significant Others, is now tweaking the idea and will executive produce the presentation with Marc Provissiero and Naomi Odenkirk.

For anyone who watched the webisodes of Walking Dead - I think we are seeing the future of our favorite show there. ****SPOILERS**** The acting was very, very good in these but the cheesy "carpet" gags just did me in. Greg Nicatero (spelling?) is going to do as good as he can when it comes to the effects - and I did think they were good in the webisodes - but if this is what it will look like to go on the "cheap" I am going to be very disappointed.

I wouldn't be too concerned. Yet. Webisodes are notoriously low budge and usually do not reflect the same quality. I guarantee the first six will be fine(those were the ones Darabont worked) it's after the hiatus when we should see what the difference will be. I think that AMC may have realized they might be a little foolish and have given back some, I imagine they are still tightening up the budget though.

And man...Breaking Bad. Wow. Walt's talk aboout 'consequences coming' with Skyler...saying goodbye to the baby...powerful stuff. Man oh man everyone just keeps underestimating and trying to manipulate Jessie. While i have to say that I didn't really have much sympathy for him through the first 2 seasons he really has grown as a character. His undying loyalty and the fact that he still calls Walter 'Mr. White', it's clear that he cares for/respects him. And Walt just uses him and degrades him. Like I said, powerful stuff. Saul is just the right amount of nervous comic relief. And Fring really is that perfect bad guy. I used to think the Shield was unquestionably the best show ever on tv as far as from start to finish. That show never flagged and the story continuosly rolled out and evolved. BB may be even better. If you aren't watching this show...every episode...I feel sorry for you.
 
16 things we already know about Walking Dead season 2 | Blastr

But we have a week to wait for that...

How about tonight's Breaking Bad season finale'? Who is going to survive? I read a speculative piece that I will not link because it had a potential major spoiler that, if they were right, may be one of the biggest twists in this story yet. And a major turning point for one of the main characters. As awesome as it is, I hope they article was wrong. It really has a 'Luke, I am your father' weight to it. We will know by the end of tonights episode I think.
 
Breaking Bad=AMAZING. I will go spoiler free for the folks that don't get early feeds(peasants!!!!!) It was AMAZING. I have no idea how they are going to top this season but I have no doubt they will. The thing I posted earlier, well...the guy was right. Wait till you see this episode. Really, far and above the best show on tv. Now go watch Whitney...sheesh! Network tv is not fit to wipe the ass of this show. Aaron Paul continues to just get better and better and Cranston...wow. Cannot wait to talk about this tomorrow. Better call Saul!!!!!
 
Agree JD... what. an. episode. So glad i have the west coast feed. Will also refrain from spilers for now. I would love to have BB thread sometime in the next few days/weeks here with anyone else who watches this show. I feel like I have so much I want to discuss with this show. If anyone else is down... lets do it.
 
that BB episode was amazing.
so much to say but don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen it. i just think gus was also amazing.
