Depends on the network and the production companies. For the longest time, the network model was 22-23 episodes per year for all the shows. Now, it's usually orders for a half season or even less, with the option to renew for a full season. Because shows like this one are produced by the same corporation as the…

No problem, neither did I. I just try my best not to provoke them.

heh, the good old "slow mo, hair toss" thing. I've noticed it more in anime than in American animation, but then I was mainly paying attention during my anime days.

Because now when Good May fights Evil May, we can tell the good gal from the bad gal!!!

Considering that the mist seems to kill regular humans (and so does the obelisk), I doubt we'll see Inhumans running rampant anytime soon. Not like mutants in the comic universe anyway…

Dude, I heard tell Townes loved playing Albuquerque, but somehow, I dunno if this is exactly what he had in mind :-)

Yeah, I'm in the incredible minority who seems to think that Walt will survive and maybe even thrive after the final episode.

I'm thinking of a variation on this.  Walt manages to move his family out of state, but the cartel then targets Jesse, which triggers Walt to the actions in the forward arc of the past two seasons.

It's not a "coincidence" if the pattern becomes apparent after viewing one or two episodes.  It's not a bug of Breaking Bad, it's a freakin' feature.

Nothing "just happens" on this show.  It's probably the most contrived plotting on any TV show I've ever actually cared about in a good way.  If some of this plotting happened on, say, The Following, we'd be snarking at it incessantly.

Cause Hank's an idiot.

I have a really strange approach to watching this one.  It was about the time when Walt's successful attempt at beating the law of averages hit 30 or so - I began thinking about the show as VG's take on the old Chuck Jones Road Runner toons, but with Walt as The Coyote if The Coyote's crazy plans actually WORKED.

Dude, he rocked Unbreakable.  And 16 Blocks. And helped get the general public into theaters to watch stuff like Pulp Fiction and Sin City.  And, yes, Moonrise Kingdom and Looper.   Yeah, he coasts by playing his personna in most everything else he does nowadays, but I think, much like John Wayne in the late '60s,…

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Now, if she'd only come back to an Earth populated by crazy talking animated mice and younger version of the classic Looney Tunes characters, I'm so there!

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen With Thinly Disguised Accents.

Moonrise Kingdom.

Pym is actually, IMO, a great character for Hollywood.  The dude has been, quite literally, driven insane by all of the crap he's put into himself on a regular basis.  It would be a shame if folks like Joss and the rest of the people at Marvel ignored those possibilities.

If Whedon said he grew up with Ultron as The Avengers main villain, this particular nerd is thinking it's the Jim Shooter version from the mid-70s.  With Jocasta, etc.  Though I'd be happier with the original Roy Thomas "Even an Android Can Cry" storyline from the '60s.  Even if they have to fiddle with his origin.

The line from Raylan was in reference to his habit of shooting first and asking later.  The dude he shoots (this time) just happens to be wearing a local law-enforcement uniform.
