OT: Breaking Bad and The Walking DeadI

mikeya02
I was just thinking that Breaking Bad was the best thing I ever saw on TV. Especially the last episode. Especially the machine gun in the trunk scene. And the Badfinger song at the end.

Meanwhile The Walking Dead is turning into an endless "Days of our Lives" drama.

Since they left the prison, I think The Walking Dead is the best since season 1

Walking Dead is amazing! What you are referring to is called "character development". I was having a hard time giving a fuck about anyone other than Rick, Carl, and Daryl until the last couple episodes.

Breaking Bad was fantastic.

Walking Dead isn't. I really wanted to love Walking Dead. I tried so hard. Zombies have always been my favorite monsters. And I was a fan of the comic book on which Walking Dead is based. But it has soooo many problems. The pacing on Season 1 was weird. And Season 2 was glacial, not getting any momentum or packing any punch until that one moment midseason. You know the one. I hoped the show had found its footing and I was optimistic, and I kept watching it. But I finally have up in the middle of season 3. The show was improving, but too little too late. There are so many better shows out there.

I think the first season of True Detective, which is a self contained story arc that ended, is one of the most special things I've ever seen. Mad Men is great. Boardwalk Empire is a show that keeps getting better and I thought this last season knocked the cover off the ball. And we'll see if it can keep it up, but the quality and consistency of House of Cards on Netflix amazes me episode after episode.

^ Walking Dead doesn't really get good until the middle of Season 3! I want to start True Detective or Breaking Bad next, I just finished up the Borgias.

I just finished up another episode of Scooby Doo. You, know, the one with the Harlem Globetrotters as guest stars. That Shaggy, boy is he something.

Clear a day or two in your calendar if you decide to start watching Breaking Bad. I can't tell you how many people I know ended up binge-watching that show on Netflix.

I haven't watched any episodes of The Borgias, but I could only hope to be as gravely and stately as Jeremy Irons when I'm his age.

Interesting take on it. I thought Season 1 was great. And the season one finale (TS-19) at the CDC remains the best episode of the series.

I've absolutely loved the last few episodes. Intense and gripping.

Loved Breaking Bad. Almost cried when it ended. Tried to watch the Walking Dead over New Years when they had the marathon. Made it through 2 seasons then it just gave me a headache and was rather boring.

I almost cried when Fred unveiled the swamp monster as Old Man Withers from down by the docks.
