I knew you'd love In Bruges, and I'm not even remotely surprised that you caught that.
Also, I just discovered your post about the Coen brothers' involvement with The Yiddish Policemen's Detective Union. I had like 12 orgasms when I saw that post.

I really liked the flashback to his college days in I guess the...third episode? where they were discussing what technically makes up the human body and then the flash to the present.
The main character is just so lovable.
pretty big spoilers
I missed the first twenty minutes of the fourth episode 'cause my roommate is terrible at keeping his word about fixing things he broke, could someone tell me what happened before the young meth guy showed up at his parent's house?
This show is pretty damn good. All 4 episodes so far are pretty solid. The 4th proves that this show is getting better and better. I love Cranston in this, he's really putting his A game out for this one but all the characters are really well done. Can't wait for episode 5.
All knocking on their windows.
"Hey. Let me in. I wanna watch TV"

i hate chad so much.
Ahaha, car go boom.
yeah this is a pretty incredible show
damn
I've been spending like twenty minutes trying to detail everything I loved about it. But rather than an itemized list of every small touch that was perfect, I will instead say this: The writing and the direction were some of the most impeccable I've seen on television since the pilot of Studio 60.
I enjoyed the whole series, but I realize that it wasn't for everybody. It had its fair share of weak elements, and there's no denying that.
But even beyond my personal enjoyment of the show, that pilot was just unimpeachably spectacular.
I know, right?
The show deals so expertly in subtext that it kind of blows my mind.
Well, it is only the second foray into original programming my AMC. So, they aren't expecting the ratings to be very good at all.
Which is actually a bonus. Because it means they're more likely to give the show a couple of seasons, let word of mouth and critical acclaim build, and make some decent money on DVD sales.
Between this and Mad Men, they're looking to establish themselves as major players in intelligent programming. And by moving in that direction, they know they're sacrificing large initial numbers for a greater long-term return.
I hope they're not relying on ratings when they're just now starting to air decent original programming.

Well, here's the thing about Fox.
They do put out an awful lot of shit, yes. But they do take risks that other networks wouldn't dream of. Married with Children, for its time, was an incredibly risky move. As was The Simpsons - a prime-time animation show was just unheard of.
And even more recently. They'll give shows a shot that are very, very risky. And while they may cancel them fairly quickly too, that's more of a chance than any other network would give them.
But look at Futurama and Arrested Development. Two very brilliant shows with really strong cult followings, canceled before their time. With both of them, their ratings were always terrible. And yeah, they got shuffled a lot, but how else are you gonna try to catch an audience? Neither made money until looonnnng after they were canned. And yet, Fox kept both of them on for multiple seasons. Again - that's more than most networks would do.
So they get an unfairly bad rap, in my book. Yeah, they canceled good shows. But they at least gave those shows a chance.
i'm giving nbc big ups for trying to figure out a way to keep friday night lights going, though.
If AMC, or FX, or HBO, or Showtime would've picked it up, it would've ended when mitch hurwitz wanted it to. That wasn't the case, but it had a good run, and ended with a satisfying resolution before it jumped the shark (figuratively, they did literally). I'm satisfied with that.
I agree. I can't think of another broadcast network that would have given Firefly a shot, especially in 2002. That might be different now, now that viewers are starting to expect better production values out of network TV, after shows like Lost.
Pooro becomes even cooler in my book.
I fucking loved Studio 60.
and Breaking Bad is amazing so far
Then again, I must admit I've only ever seen him in Malcolm in the Middle.
I loved the expression on his face
I need to find it on the intertubes.
In conclusion: Breaking Bad is fanfriggintastic and gah, I'm loving AMC for it and Mad Men.
Fox gets a bad rap more for their deplorable news division than the rest their programming, I think.
you must be new to the internet
Their "news division" is a crime against humanity, though.
I thought I was the only dude who actually liked Studio 60
everyone I know hated it
though i didn't see the last few episodes because i was overseas
Watching it over is even more sad, since I now recognize several characters I didn't before, since I have now seen The West Wing.
Holy crap it is awesome. After the first episode it really caught me off guard about how heavy it was getting, but it's just amazingly well done all in all
I am glad you are into it now.
But really, how surprised can you be? That opening scene is so unrelentingly intense that you've gotta see the heavier shit coming.
I guess I mean more in the sense of heavy drama, the first episode made me expect dark comedy. Not to say there aren't plenty of bits of humor, but it's not the focus at all like i was kind of expecting.
Looking at the chemical formula, Meth is really simple to synthesize - The guys in meth labs just reduce over-the-counter meds to form an impure product.
A better route would be to do a synthesis with Styrene, Methylnitrate, and Epoxyethane. It would take longer and you need to separate out the diasteriomers, but it's much less suspicious than them buying 10 pounds of Ephedrine.
bull shit
also walt was a fucking BADASS in the last episode
