It's ok... just started watching it last month and am all caught up now. I honestly didn't see what all the hype was about really.

They announced it at SDCC like 2 years ago. I have a friend that saw some of the trailers and was in attendance.

I'm really looking forward to it. I am actually really excited for a lot of movies that will be coming out next year.
Your friend is lucky, all we have is fan sketches to go off of .....for now. But thankfully we'll get to see a trailer before years end. Probably will be attached to the Hobbit movie.

This video was leaked from Comic-Con this year, I believe they showed more at their panel though.
Yeah I saw that. Chris55 on TK said it's not the final design but it's pretty damn close.


Anyways, bot.

It's really scary seeing this guy I always knew as a funny manchild named Hal when growing up turn into a cold blooded killer.

The Game of Thrones show is ass. The ASoIaF books are great though.

Breaking Bad is some damn fine television though. Shame I can't say the same for Dexter.
Please stop babbling on.

I've been examining your comments and I could not be more dumbfounded at the things you say.

Game of Thrones is in no way "ass". That is a fact.

I'm just curious on where this irrational logic comes from. Please do explain how it's terrible?

And though you being on Heisenberg's side is in no way right or wrong, I would still like to know why so?

As a longtime fan of the books, I was incredibly impressed with season 1 of GoT. Sure, there was some nonsense here and there, but it was still great. But after that, I would rather the show had been cancelled after one season. Season 2 and 3 have been an absolute trainwreck as far as character development. Nearly every character has deviated so far from their original personality/motivations, that they're unrecognizable. Season 3 was alright compared to 2, but that awful finale killed it for me. And that's not even touching the asinine amount of sex/nudity, blatant character pandering by the writers, or how the show has become 80% fanfiction and deviated from the source material. The show is simply more of a curiosity to me now.

As for Mr. White, I have to root for him. I've been on his side all this time, and I want to see him succeed. I've also been a fan of Hank's until recently. I thought his bad attitude after his accident was unbearable, and I don't like how he's so inconsiderate about putting Jesse's life on the line or about Walt's family. All he seems to want is the "glory of being the one who caught Heisenberg." I've just grown to dislike him and Jesse. Though I doubt we'll get it, I want nothing more than for Walt to retire, have more than enough money to support his family, and then let everyone move on. I may be in the minority now, but though he's done bad things, I still think he's a good person.

Very well put. I strongly agree with you on that. And now I understand your reasoning. (They pushed so far on the mindless sex/nude scenes that their own actresses wanted to quit. Pitiful.)

Well I think we all initially rooted for Walter at some point. Hank's attitude is like that. It's his personality. Think of all the trouble he's been through because of Walt.. Shit I would be pissed as well. Yes, he did go too far when he didn't care for the life of Jesse. I didn't like that bit either. He's obsessed with catching Walt, yes. But his intentions aren't to gain any fame. He's doing it for himself and for the good of everyone around him. Dislike Jesse?? Oh, no.. You can hate on Hank that's alright.. but Jesse? Jesse hasn't done anything remotely evil. His life was literally ruined inside and out by Walt. Walt deserves nothing less than to be killed. He is NOT a good person. He may have intentions to do good, but he is so selfish that he doesn't care what happens to anybody else as long as he's okay and gets what he wants. He stood there and watched someone die just to benefit himself.. Be reasonable here..

I dunno, I think Hank is just obsessed. He's putting his life, Jesse's life, and Gomie's life on the line to catch someone. He should be going through the proper system to catch Walt, but from what I recall, he's too embarrassed to admit to the Force that his brother-in-law was the ever elusive Heisenberg all along.

As far as Jesse goes, were it not for Walt, he'd be dead years ago. Either by overdose, stabbed in some jail, or killed by some rival meth cook in an alley somewhere. Thanks to Walt, he became clean from drugs, made millions of dollars, and could have done anything he wanted or gone anywhere in the world. I'm just irritated with him now, and as one who roots for the one who knocks, I'm going against Jesse. Don't forget, the evil Heisenberg still called off the Nazi attack in order to spare his brother-in-law who is trying to put him jail, embarrass his family, and destroy all the money he's made to let his family thrive when he passes away. Not only that, even after Jesse covered his house in oil, Mr. White was still the only one to say that killing him was out of the question. Oh yeah, and she deserved it. She was leeching on to Jesse, making him relapse into his drug addiction, then planned to take him far away so they could waste all of his money on drugs and whatever pointless nonsense she told him to. His life turned around for the better after that.

You know now that I think about it, there really is two sides to everything that occurs in Breaking Bad. It's just perspective I guess.
"Yes she was a druggy leech but did she deserve to die?"
You know? It's just things like that. And by the way, some of your explanations are opening my eyes to your reasonings. But I could still counter some of them. Such as the calling off the hit when he was in the dessert. I think he's doing that for himself. He doesn't want Hank to die because he will lose his family, which are the only people he has left to turn too. I agree he does care for Jesse somewhere in there, but I think he's doing so as guilt for all the trouble he's caused him. It's also good for him to have a contact he can control. Jesse would have ended up with nothing before Walt came along, yes. But did he ask for all the trouble that came along with his "money"? There's just so much to talk about and play devil's advocate it's exhausting. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Only 3 left.. I personally believe that Walt will kill Hank in a panic situation, Skylar will freak out, he will kill Skylar, and Jesse will kill him in the end. Too much hype! I love all the characters nonetheless and sometimes when I do feel evil I do root for Walt, haha. Except Marie, I can't stand Marie.

The only morality in a cruel world is chance.
I don't get your question.

Why is this show so hyped up as the best thing ever? That... I don't get. It's an ok show, that's all.
Because it is a really great show. That's the reason it's hyped up.

I never watched the show but started a couple months ago with netflix and am now caught up. I watched some of the terible season 1 when the show came out but stopped way back when cause season 1 was completely forgettable. I forced myself to catch up cause the fans of the show hype it up so much, im glad i did cause i really like the show. But it isnt the wire its not even close, for people to put it up there with the wire is a joke.

It's the best show i've ever seen, seinfeld is a different genre.

This show is a psychological thriller, its the most pressurized and suspenseful thing i have ever seen, and I have never seen a show that is so honest in its exploration of what it is to be a human being and what is behind all the walls we have build for ourselves, it's frighteningly both charming and terrifying. Its an insane combobulation of mixed emotions, it flips everything upside downs and sideways. I love it, I love game of thrones too but there's something too it that is just a bit more special.
There is nothing honest about this show whatsoever the characters are all sterotypes and it sometimes borders on WWE levels of soap oprah drama.
