    That is really weird.

    I was just today wondering what was going on with this.

    so either AMC are very happy with what they are seeing already(scripts, early footage), or they are really desperate for something to fill their line-up post Mad Men. for now i'm going to lean towards optimism and take this as a good sign.

    Another bit of info that came out with this news is that apparently Vince Gilligan is actually going to be co-showrunner and more directly involved with it, rather than just overseeing the show with someone else in charge (like, say, Joss Whedon does with Agents of Shield) as originally planned.

    I totally spend the better part of 2 weeks binging on Breaking Bad

    Should have fucking done it sooner, is all that really needs to be said.

    As far as this Saul show they're making... I don't know. He was entertaining as a character, absolutely. I don't know if he could hold up a show revolved around him though. What genre is it even going to be? Drama or comedy?

    Well Breaking Bad had it's dark humor moments, I suspect more of that but also dealing with a whole new cast of characters that Saul has to dance around; keeping drug dealers happy and such, while also trying to maintain a sense of moral right? I really can't wait to see if under his persona that he's a broken guy, it'll be sad but in the end I kind of want him to financially screw over a few assholes.

    Based on Odenkirk's performance in Fargo, I'm more than willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

    Banks is a regular so that's good news. Also Michael Mando (Vick the Dick from Orphan Black).

    EDIT: Six years before Breaking Bad.

    Yo, do you like Breaking Bad? What about Weird Al?

    (I guess it is old, and maybe someone had already posted it, but I had never seen it. New Weird Al videos being released over the past few days took me down this YouTube rabbit hole and I found this thing.)

    I started it up in the background and... was not prepared for it to be 12 minutes long.

    Yeah, it's one of his lesser-known older songs, mostly because it isn't a parody. Some of the lines match up with Breaking Bad so well.

    That has such a solid hit to miss ratio. That laugh at 2:50

    Have you guys heard about the guy who's trying to cast Val Kilmer and Slash in a Breaking Bad sequel via Kickstarter? It's called "Anastasia a Sequel to Breaking Bad with Val Kilmer and Slash".

    Breaking Bad not only had a perfect ending, but this guy's vision leaves much to be desired. Looks like everyone else agrees, because he's barely getting any pledges.

    @Taranis Isn't direct linking to Kickstarter expressly forbidden?

    Anyway, that sounds horrible.

    It doesn't even have Val Kilmer's blessing. Read his reaction on the kickstarter page and the guy's immature reaction.

    I just finished Season 4 of this on Saturday night.

    Good fucking God! I can't believe I waited this long. The later half of season 4 has been some of the finest TV I have ever watched.

    Onward to Season 5!

    This breaking bad Marathon is just making me re-realize how horrible and Skylar is

    and spoilered for those burning through dvds/marathon

    Skylar is a normal person doing the best she can in a shitty situation. I don't think she handles it any worse than I would if my significant other turned out to be a psycho meth kingpin.

    So Aaron Paul won best supporting actor. Should have been Dean Norris, but Emmy voters just do what they did before so didn't nominate him.

    And won series. Glad HBO's attempt to game the system was defeated.
