Watching anything good this season?

Although they were only supporting characters, Marie and Walt Jr. didn't get much of an ending.  When you think about it, Walt Jr. (Flynn) is STILL going to that high school where his dad must be NOTORIOUS.  How could a kid deal with THAT?  I was expecting a little scene with Saul, but I guess they covered him in the previous episode.  I liked how Badger and Skinny Pete played a small part in the ending.

All in all, the loose ends did get tied up nicely.  Jesse getting a second chance and Walt having nothing left.  A fitting end, I think

p.s.  Wish Marybe were here to comment.  Missing her too.

And did anybody else tighten up while watching Jesse choke Todd? He let everything out ... all that he had endured ... all that he had seen ... watching Todd murder his girlfriend Andrea ... all the realizations he had reached about Walt ... very hard to watch........

That would have been lovely! As a mom, it was too hard when Andrea was killed knowing that poor Brock would find her. Same for Lydia even.

I have been watching Netflix Alias once again. I think I was in chemo the first time so I don't remember it now.

I watched all of Breaking Bad and while parts of it were just brutal it was so well done I felt compelled to watch all of it.

I have been off the boards for awhile, we lost so many friends here in my age group. Tryong to say hi again and to stay away from the topics that just hurt so bad.

Soteria,

Love him...;)

Yes, it was hard to watch the cancer part of it sometimes, but admittedly, one of my favourite moments was when Walt took that "HOPE" button and threw it in the trash. I'm guessing not too many cancer patients have that reaction, but that's what I would have done with it, so Walt's character and I were on the same page. It made me smile.

Last night I watched the new Dracula series on Global here in Canada.It was very good,staring J ohnathan Ryese As Dracula.

Violet, I just started the 5th season. Have you watched all the shows yet?

Soteria, I agree with you on West Wing. Such an awesome show. Maybe you could try a used book/video store for WW seasons on DVD.

Mumito, Jonathan Rhys is SO delicious to look at. I could eat him with a spoon.

Hi girls- my hubby and I started late to the Breaking Bad party too- we are just halfway through season 2. SO great. One of the wonderful things that I learned on this blog- thank you ladies!

Thank goodness for DVDs and Amazon Prime!!!!

Hugs

BB is entertaining, but beyond that, it has given me insight into men and how they view their roles as breadwinners, fathers and husbands. The pressures of providing. How money and pride enslave. It's been a good thing for me and DH to watch together.

Vi,

YES! I noticed the purple from the beginning, since it's my favorite color. I like how it's used to characterize Marie's OCD tendencies. She's got a purple toaster. One scene opened with several packets of Splenda on a kitchen cabinet, and someone methodically opening each one and carefully sprinkling it in the coffee. I knew it was Marie before the shot pulled back to reveal who it was.

I like some of Marie's clothes though I don't wear purple ALL the time. There used to be a show Curb Your Enthusiasm and I loved every outfit Larry David's wife wore. I actually copied some of her styles. (Hmm, maybe I should move this comment to the retail therapy discussion, lol)

I like Jesse too, but having had friends who were addicts, who went back and forth between straight and messed up, it's hard for me to love Jesse, if you know what I mean.

Tar,

Just wait...you'll end up loving him...;)

Breaking Bad talk still going on, huh? I had to find a streaming series to replace my BB watching, so decided on Dexter. Watched a few so far and like it. Unfortunately not all the seasons are on Netflix yet, so I may as well take my time with that one. I've liked Michael C. Hall ever since he was on Six Feet Under. That's a good series but Netflix doesn't stream it (disk only.)

Anyone who knows me, knows I am taking full advantage of the 50th Anniv. of the JFK assassination and watching a lot of the programming on that lately. Real conspiracy theories...fictional docudramas...I don't care. I am drawn to it like a wayward moth to the eternal flame at Arlington.
