It has started pretty slow but it's almost out of necessity. There's nowhere to go right now, they need to build something up again after tearing everything down in season 4. I'm confident it will pick up soon enough.

edit: Woah, only five episodes left of this season? I didn't even think about that.
 
ya wow, i can't believe there's only 5 more episodes for the year. geez walt is such an evil conniving prick. so much ego. wow. aside from what's been mentioned about him...

****************small SPOILER******************

when skyler has a breakdown and marie is concerned for her, walt deflects responsibility by saying she's upset because ted is not doing well. he outs her as an adulteress rather than say it's his "gambling" problem. then he doesn't even go to check on her after marie leaves. he just goes to the kitchen and gets an apple. so cold.


good point about mike and various characters teetering between good and bad.
 
I'm coming to the Breaking Bad party a bit late. I just started watching it on Netflix. I'm in the middle of season 2. Damn what a great show!
 
SirJW...I went back and rewatched, and I have to disagree. There is a LOT going on. It's just very quietly done. The scene w/ Walt telling Jesse that he's earned it was sweet and very touching, UNTIL later on in the episode after Jesse tries to talk to Walt about his decision just to be shut out. And yes, Lunchie nails it with the breakdown of the Walt/Marie scene. He's just gone full sociopath at this point. The 'Jesse James' line from Mike was certainly a line in the sand. Walt took down Gus Fring, sure...but Mike is a different animal entirely. And the element of surprise is gone now. I have mentioned it previously but Walt's inability to fear/overconfidence could be a scary thing. Mike is someone to be feared, clearly. It may not have the wide open drama of last season...yet, but this show is certainly still as high quality as it ever was. I ALMOST feel sorry for Skyler at this point. Not yet though.
 
The Walking Dead Is Taken Off American TVs, Zombies Attack New York In Protest | Bleeding Cool Comic Book, Movies and TV News and Rumors



As Season 3 of The Walking Dead gets ready to roll in the US, viewers who use DISH satellite receivers will most likely miss out as the cable provider has blacked out AMC – along with many other channels like WEtv and the Sundance channel – allegedly over a lawsuit dispute. American owners of DISH satellites are currently missing out on shows like Breaking Bad and Mad Men, yet according to AMC are still paying for the channels and shows that they’re not receiving.

To protest this and raise awareness, AMC have hit back at DISH with this hilarious promotional video, where they staged a zombie invasion of New York and successfully scared the pants off the city’s residents with zombie make-up of the same quality you’d see on The Walking Dead. Even if you’re unaffected by the DISH blackout, the video is worth watching for new characters like Traffic Cop Zombie, Shopaholic Zombie, and Roadwork Construction Zombie, as well as the reactions of people who run into them.

Sorry X.

Ok, so SirJW you still think nothing much is happening? The Fring storyline really set the bar high by just being extremely showy as far as wratcheting up the chase/action aspects of the show. But what BB has always done best is the 'calm before the storm' slow burn. All through last nights episode(and most of this season) you got to feel that horrible TRAPPED feeling that Anna Gunn/Skylar was showing so well on her face, while Walt just happily ignores any sign that she is in great distress. Well, she finally 'screamed' to have her voice heard. Man oh man. The scene where Walt goes all Heisenberg on her plans, and then she drops the bomb on him. It finally got through to him. That's EMMY right there bitches.
The rest of the episode was nicely done too. I love Mike's assessment that 'she deserves to die more than most men I've known', and poor Jesse has been given so little to do so far...yet Aaron Paul makes the most of his scenes. Best episode of the season so far.

Mike being "outvoted" is not going to go over well with him. I think he's just going to whack her anyway. As far as he's concerned, there's no voting. He takes care of the business end, they cook. I'd sure kill her if I was in his position. Who wants to be in business with an unhinged crazy woman? Considering the business they're in, I don't see any other rational choice and Mike is nothing if not rational.

But Mike is comprimising his rationality little by little due to the situation he has been put in by Walt(resent much). Man if this show ain't about folks being comprimised. Little thing that happened, Hank getting set up for the promotion. He has to turn over all his cases to someone else to work. We all know that it's not gonna be that easy, right?

and there goes the Aztek. I would have given him $100. Nice when he was reunited with 'the hat'.
 
I'm enjoying the show quite well.
Many things happening and lots of posibilites, I can see Hank and Walter squaring off in the finale. Hank will win.
My original comment I guess is based on when the episodes are over. I'm like eh I can wait a week, just no cliff hangers yet making me yell ugh I need to know NOW what happens next.
 
At first i was getting the feeling that Skylar was going to commit suicide, but now im started to get the feeling that Walt is going to kill her and make it look like one. Maybe im way off base but thats the feeling i get.

agree - so far a big zzzzzz...

1 more BB comment: I kinda like the "idea" of cooking in the flea-treatment houses, but it's just waaay too far of a leap to even be possible. They just aren't thinking outside the box, there's no box anywhere close to them.

See...if you weren't satisfied by Walter and Skyler squaring off then this may not be the show for you. And the cooking location seems valid enough to me, then again, I am neither exterminator nor meth cook. This is more of the fallout from the 'ticking clock' getting so overwhelming with Gus, then re-setting back to zero(or thereabouts). This has always been a methodical show, it just ramped up so much during season 4 that it almost seems disappointing now.
 
The Walking Dead Season 3 Will Be Broken In Two | Shock Till You Drop

Oh dandy...momentum:KILLED again. I realize that they think the Holiday season isn't appropriate for zombies...but a)GET OVER IT. People will watch. and b)Ok, then start it sooner instead of clinging to Halloween. It's a terrible plan and it really is a shameless way to stretch out ratings(I assume the month of December is pretty much a dead zone across the board) so they can end the year strong and start the year strong too. We see what you are doing AMC. And, we are not amused.
