Totally agree, though I'd say Dexter can't get any worse than S6. Will be my first time watching them simultaneously though, and I'm laughing

Sorry, didn't mean to call you out like a jerk or anything
I'm actually happy that they only sent one to critics. Less chance of things leaking.
Speaking of which, since AMC is the fucking WORST with episode leakes, what of Breaking Bad HAS successfully leaked in the past? Did Gus's demise make it out before it aired?

People that watch the series for teh actionz usually dislike the episode.
I don't understand those people. :/

Final season is going to make House Party look like House Party 2; or even House Party 3.
Thanks for mentioning one of the top three episodes in the entire series!

Oh fucking hell. I'm glad I wasn't paying a ton of attention then (I marathoned it leading up to season 5a). Does my memory serve me correctly in thinking that someone just bombed the season 4 thread with that image prior to the air date?
Also, I'd HAVE to imagine they're keeping this season under lock and key like nobody's business to avoid shit just like Gus's death.

Six days gaf! Then I can completely disconnect from Dexter! Its so sad as I'm one of the few who didn't mind seasons 5 and 6, but this season, the final season, is being fucking wasted on stupid fucking plots that have no business being there. Vogel is one of the stupidest characters in all of television.
Here's a final season, and surprise mother fucker! There's a character who magically knows all about Dec duh duh Dunn!!!

I would rather have his whole family die,Jessie dead, and hank in jail. And Walt either dying in a hospital with him all alone or in his house with his cancer gone.
Jesse: SAY MY NAME!
Walt: Pinkman
Jesse: you're goddamn right, bitch!
*bang*

This is my favorite show ever for many reasons. I still think that episode sucks, I understand the symbolism and the Walt-Jess dynamic but it feels very heavy handed and clostrophobic, for my tastes at leat. I get that bottle episodes are necessary but that doesn't give it immunity.
Edit: Suck was the wrong word to use. I just thought it was pretty boring/underwhelming compared to most other episodes.

The best part of The Fly was Walt's realization of what actually made him genuinely happy after getting into the Meth business. When Skyler sings a lullaby to their daughter, and Walt quietly listens in the living room, there wasn't any bullshit or antics for that to occur.
No lying, no dodging, no killing, just heartfelt love in his own home. He created the best meth, but the simplest chemistry or biology moved him more than anything. He didn't even receive the love, the fact that his family seemed safe and legitimately happy was all Walt needed to die a happy man.
Context matters though, and some reactions have permanent consequences. Walter will never feel what he felt in the moment ever again. Jane's death, the air plane collision, and Jesse hitting a bottom probably tainted Walt's conscience forever. Family time doesn't mean much when you've caused enough pain to poison relationships and cause widespread harm.
Walt never turned back once he faced that moral dilemma, he chose a choice or direction and went with it. Jesse did the same, both of them stayed involved with each other and a life they began together.
Walt dying naturally when his daughter was born would've been the only good way to check out. The point of no return for Walter and Jesse was Jane's death and the airplane collision following it. They asked themselves "How much worse can it actually get?", the events after that leading to the climax is the answer.

The most impressive acting from Cranston in the entire series and he didn't even say a word. That maniacal/insane laughter

I have a feeling that now that Walt and Skyler are back together, Skyler dying by cartel hands will happen. It will be a great way for Walt to go back to the drug world to get some payback etc.
Hank is going to go to Jesse and promise him immunity from prosecution to help bring down Walt.
This season is going to be Hank + Jesse Vs. Walt.

- A few minutes of BB talk on Sepinwall/Fienberg's podcast this week (no spoilers)
Sounds like a great start to the season.

It's how long the camera just lingers at the end. It just stays there. It's fucking brutal but its fucking beautiful.
No Half Measure or Full Measure? Seven Thirty Seven is another great episode.

It's funny because I think Gus's most powerful scene was the Boxcutter, where I'm pretty sure he didn't say anything. Well maybe the I Will Kill Your Infant Daughter scene tops it but you get the idea.The most impressive acting from Cranston in the entire series and he didn't even say a word. That maniacal/insane laughter
Edit: forgot his badass poisoning stunt in Mexico, and many others I'm sure. Might be my favorite character ever.

All of them are great as well, and Box Cutter, and Say My Name, and Better Call Saul, and... It was getting to a point where I was just listing out every one haha, I tried to narrow it down a bit.
Mike's monologue in Half Measure is a thing of fucken beauty though

been too long man
cant wait
Hank can finally get out of that shitter,
Skyler isn't going to die, she's going to end up in prison for assisting Walt and hefty fraud.
Walter will figure out Hank is building a case against him and flees. Walter or Hank contact each other. Hank will offer Walt a ultimatum of turning himself in and only arresting Walt or Hank will pursue Skyler/the entire family instead. Walt agrees, but attempts to reach his family so they can all escape together.
Plan goes awry and Skyler is arrested, Holly is put up for foster care/adoption, and Hank offers to give Walt Jr. a home. Walt flees with whatever money he has left and due to fear and failure, doesn't formulate a plan until months later.

Half Measure, 4 Days Out, Problem Dog, Better Call Saul, Negro Y Azul, Crawl Space, Dead Freight, Crazy Handful of Nothin', Grilled, etc etc. It's ridiculously hard for me narrow it down to even 10.

I just don't think Walt winning fits with the overall tone of the show.
What I think could be interesting is this: Walt dies/pays for his sins in some horrible way (as Matt Zoller Seitz mentions in his latest piece, BrBa has always been a show with a sense of morality), but then just when we think it's over, Jesse then has to/does die too. Despite his overall redemptive arc, he's murdered Gale and done other horrible shit too, just like Walt (though obviously not to the extent of poisoning children).
Would be a really great showcase of how no matter what kind of person you are, or how bad you feel about what you've done, your actions will always come back to haunt you.
The more I think about it, the more I think either both Walt and Jesse are done for, or they both survive. I don't think one goes without the other.
