Oh Landry, how far you've fallen since Friday Night Lights!


Probably one of the reasons he was cast for this role, such a great contradiction from the guy he played on FNL.


If this isn't the best hour long show in the history of tv then I would really like to hear what is.

The WTF of the opening scene and how they tied it into the end of the episode was amazing.

Totally agree, and I was upset with myself that I didn't see the poor kid's demise coming as soon as he reappeared.

Who really expects them to shoot a kid? I know I didn't. It wasn't like the kid being shot in the Walking Dead. That had to be done. This one never even had a chance.

I really liked how they took the time to personalize the kid a bit before offing him. Made him even more sympathetic than just some random bystander and obviously that hits the audience harder during the money shot.

Will that be 6, 7, and 8? It's only 8 this year is that right?

Yep. Final 8 next year. I would assume airing in July '13 like this year, but who knows.

No, I heard it will air at the start of 2013.

The last 8 episodes start filming in November, if I recall correctly. I'm annoyed they're splitting them up 8 and 8.

If I were to meet an untimely demise before they air, I'd hope St. Peter has the last 8 on DVD.

I hope you're right. The shorter the wait, the better!

Looks like summer of 2013 for the last 8:

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

I think most of "saul's guys" are mikes people, And I am thinking that dude will not be around long...Jesse clips him.

I gotta guy in the next 3 episodes. Wouldn't give any details about it. Not sure if he lives to see the final 8.

I thought this season was the last? What did they do, cut the number of episodes down to stretch it out another season?

Re: the "slower" episodes of the season

One thing I love about this series, and it seems like others appreciate too, is the style in which it is shown. It reminds me of No Country For Old Men in the sense that they don't ever waste a camera shot or a line of dialogue. There is no filler content. Everything is shot and said with a definitive purpose. It's much more intriguing that way if done right then the Sorkin style of writing where the characters are talking constantly and saying nothing.

Ding ding. Even the "boring" scenes are building to the bigger picture.

Still can't get the opening scene of two weeks ago out of my head. Gut-wrenching, but I couldn't turn away. Kudos to the producers for using music rather than dialogue.

Loved the use of The Monkees Goin' Down song during the cook sequence.

I loved that song as a kid.

I know it's been obvious for a while that Walt is a horrible person, but even I thought Sunday was too much. He really didn't need to do that. I'm being vague since IMU hasn't seen the last couple episodes.

I bought it. Seems like a natural progression into him actually being Heisenberg at this point and just pretending to be Walt when necessary.

I guess. Then again, do you remember the look on his face after it happened? Had a "What the f*** did I just do?" feel to it. He's going to regret it.

I did too.



SPOILERish BELOW











The series has been building since the death Gail that it's okay to kill when 'necessary' Obviously the standards of necessary have changed a bit since Mike was pretty much a rage kill, but it really is part of being Heisenberg. He get what he wants or there will be consequences. The opening scene had me holding my breath.

He keeps having those though. But the events that cause those looks are getting progressive more severe. Soon there won't be a look. Just satisfaction that the problem is solved.

I don't know how he's going to be able to clean all this up. I think he's going to need to get the Friday Night Lights kid to help him. But, there's a lot to do and he's going to have to do it fast.

There's no other show I've spent this much time reading about after the fact. Definitely going to be sad after this Sunday's episode. At least the fall will bring back some of my other shows.

Gotta disagree..This was the best show on t.v for a couple years..it has become predictable ..after the "flew to close to the sun" line ...it was inevitable that Mike was getting clipped..Walt was a genius and now all of a sudden he is a train wreck that is in a nosedive and the only outcome now is crash/burn..like walt is going to forget that ol girl tried to have mike clipped and the other 9 guys on the list...like walt would not just move out from his ball busting ugly wife.I know it can't be easy continuing to write great story lines but this season has sucked..last week was good but not even in the top 10 episodes thus far..I fear this show blew it's load last year.
