We're behind on all the other CW shows but keeping up to date on LoT, and have actually just started watching Constantine instead of the new seasons of the others.

Could someone spoil for me, a non-Breaking Bad watcher, why the first reaction is hm?
Let's just say that there's no way it could be a sequel or a prequel that really makes any sense. And there aren't any time jumps they could cover in the series.
Maybe if it's about some of the side characters? Like Better Call Saul?
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
You should at least be watching Legends of Tomorrow, the CW doesn't give a fuck about it so it doesn't crossover or interact with anybody else.
Out of the Arrow shows it was the one I enjoyed most two years ago!
Maybe on a slow weekend I'll watch through last season!
Zonugal it has an openly bisexual John Constantine

Walter White is dead.
Jesse Pinkman, the other main character, fucking bolted after spending months as a literal chained to the wall slave making meth. He is free from the drug life finally.
There's really not much to do! It was basically resolved perfectly! But also it's a good show and I am wondering what the fuck he is thinking!
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
My first reaction to Better Call Saul was also "Okay, but does that really need to happen?" and that has turned out to be amazing (if maybe leaning a little too hard on Breaking Bad in the last 2 seasons), so I'm confident that at least it won't be a story that's entirely unnecessary. Or at least the execution will trick me into thinking it's not unnecessary.
Just, damn. A show hasn't had me literally on the edge of my seat that way in a long time.
I knew that episode 3 was a big one, just from the frequency of spoilers in this thread that marked it, but I was still not ready for the swift brutality of the bombing.
It's a show that gives you ample opportunity and reason to mistrust absolutely everyone, even Budd and Vick, but especially Nadya and Budd's boss, who turn out to be the actual culprits. In a weaker show like this one, those two would obviously be the bad guys because they're ostensibly the most trustworthy. Yet in Bodyguard, it's very hard to trust anyone.
There are still tons of opportunities to get in on the mystery in hindsight, though. The only living character by episode 6 who knows so much about Budd's kids IS Nadya. It IS very clear from the frame-by-frame recording that the bomb in episode 3 comes from under the stage, even if it makes you think Samson is deliberately skirting that fact because she's part of the plot. The show's constant diligence in giving you Budd's paranoid, suspicious perspective on the rest of the cast is a masterwork.
I think my favorite moment from the whole series, though, is Budd just dipping the fuck out once he's disarmed the bomb. Not even the suicide fakeout caught me by surprise that much.
Just, god, what a good show.

Binged the first season of Castlevania yesterday because of all the talk about it. Yep, that was pretty good, and I'm glad I have a second season already waiting for me.
Cranston will be back for flashbacks throughout the movie and the stinger at the end will reveal he survived and blue meth has been spotted around the area he hid out in before the finale. Because why the fuck not.
Legacy on
Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.

Turns out it's all a walking dead prequel.

The BB movie will be about Flynn trying to get laid for the first time at prom.
Sorce - responding to your post in last thread because I think I'm the only person watching Blindspot still.
It's continuing to win the award for "no fucking reason to get renewed, so let's have fun."
I'm happy that this season is leaning into Rich Dotcom and Patterson, and
found a way to keep Roman around
because they're easily the best part of the show. Really hoping they continue to do wacky shit like the time-loop episode last season.
I'm glad Remi is so bad at pretending to be Jane that Weller is finally starting to notice something is wrong. Because it was starting to get ridiculous. In the bad way.
Also
Zapata is totally in deep undercover, right? Her entire arc, including last season, just screams that to me.

Zapata's entire plotline has just left me feeling meh. The whole thing felt out of left field, and then replacing the villain with Naz but keeping Zapata in felt a bit hackney. Kinda wish they'd kept the daughter as the villain, honestly
Netflix is expanding their lineup of original anime series, announcing Pacific Rim and Altered Carbon
Pacific Rim expands the world of the two live-action films in the franchise, returning to the epic battle of Kaiju and Jaegers
From Legendary Entertainment just like the films
Follows two siblings (an idealistic teen boy and his naïve younger sis) forced to pilot an abandoned Jaeger across a hostile landscape in a desperate attempt to find their missing parents
Co-showrunners are Craig Kyle (Thor Ragnarok) and Greg Johnson (X-Men Evolution)
Altered Carbon is set in the same universe as Netflix's live-action show, the second season of which is mid-production, and will explore new elements of the story mythology
Written by Dai Soto (Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo)
so I saw people talking about the Sunny finale and watched the sequence in question
I haven't watched Sunny in about 8 years
what they just did was brave
I've seen shows get called brave before, I've called them brave before, but what I really mean is true, or accurate, or surprising, or just digging deeper than you'd expect
but Sunny just threw caution to the wind, committed hard to something extremely difficult that might have failed at any juncture, and took an honest to God leap of faith in order to do the right thing

He’s been working on Breaking Bad stuff for a full decade now

There's really not much to do! It was basically resolved perfectly! But also it's a good show and I am wondering what the fuck he is thinking!
so seems to me it's probably just set in the same world and meant to give viewers an idea of what tone and such to expect?
I'm down with that at least, if that's the case
So we finally get to find out what happened to Huell?
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
1) My very good friend and housemate has never even heard of Quantum Leap
2) The entire series is on Hulu
Guess I know what I’m going to be watching for a while.
Yeah I hope not
Also bisexual
So an actual full return to it is not particularly exciting, whereas a completely new project from that team would be VERY exciting

Okay. Fuck. Sure!
