No love for the Bunk and Smooth Lester Freamon?

CRISIS-ALERT! 

It happened. The world broke Sean O'Neal. 

I can't hate on Emmerich too much. For some reason. Sure his 'blow everything up' mentality is ridiculous and I am amused that he's a German director who has made two films that argues that Jewish slaves didn't build the pyramids, but he's just so inoffensive. He just makes pretty explosion fests to be enjoyed by

Fuck me, I just went looking into this series, mostly to confirm what others said about the author being another hack fuck slash fic writer. And ALL six books have the subtitle; 'City of…' Every once. 'City of Bones, …Glass, …Ashes, Heavenly Fire, …Fallen Angels.'

There's an awesome video somewhere on youtube. It's a lecture given to police officers, by a lawyer and a retired police officer. Considering who is leading this lecture and to whom, I was suprised when they advised the audience (and the internet viewing audience) to NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE. Ever. Say nothing. Do not

I'm waiting patiently for someone to remix the trailer of Children to Men, like someone did with the Shining. It could be turned into some kind of bizarro world Ferris Bueller, only the parents don't have to worry about their asshole kids anymore. 

That thought did cross my mind! 

Kickstarter? Guys?

Seeing the White's home surrounded by a chain link fence, tagged with grafiti, boarded up, filthy and abandoned was insane. We've been in that house for five years or more, I could navigate it as easily as the Simpson's home or the Friend's apartments (except for Ross, that fucker moved a lot). And yet I've never, nor

Dean Norris owned that scene. From fury, to righteousness, to disbelief, to actual goddamn fear. And I believed every second. That 'I don't even know who I'm talking to' was amazing.

That scene was my first 'FUCK YOU, WALT!" of the episode. And it was richly deserved. It make me think of the end of The Last of Us (spoiler) where two characters know the truth and yet one lies to the other and the other accepts it, because that's all there is to do.

I lost my damned mind when I saw the White house (heh) abandoned, the pool dry, the windows boarded up and tagged with graffiti. I think I squealed aloud when I saw the 'Heisenberg' tag inside. Fucking mind blowing opening. I'm visiting my mum right now, she thinks I'm ridiculous.

It makes me think of Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (stay with me) in that when Angel got his soul back, he spent a good century moping around feeling sorry for himself, because of all the horrible things he'd done as a vampire. Jessie's the same, he's got his soul back and in the process has opened himself up to

I've seen that theory before online, that Walt incorporates the strange quirks or habits of his victims, He cuts the crusts off his sandwiches since Crazy-8, he steals Mike's drink order, in this epuside he's basically Gus Fring, respectable businessman on the surface, putting a towel beneath his knees as he vomits.

The comics are terrible. They realised that they no longer had to worry about budgets and went batshit crazy. 

There's nothing worse than human interest stories. ITN news does that over here in the UK, (they're the BBC's main rivals on terrestrial television). They usually close the nightly news with a story about a sick child or something. I argued with some work colleagues about this once and they fucking tore me apart, but

You mean 'too big to fail' was bullshit!? I'd laugh if I wasn't so terribly predictable. 

See, I listed those three because they are closest in terms of quality to Breaking Bad, in my opinion. I omitted comedies because it felt weird to contrast them with BB. I listed Vikings because, although a stretch, I'm not really watching anything else in terms of quality.

Just eight episodes. SO excited. SO nervous. SO sad. What will fill my televisual life without Breaking Bad? Besides Game of Thrones, Legend of Korra and oh, I dunno, lets say Vikings. Vikings is fun.
