I'm glad you liked it, Toups. For me, these shows highlight what the networks could be doing...and how they're actually hobbled by their BROADcast missions.

These shows are like terrific novels or novel series...just long enough to excite, not so long as to wear out their welcome.

Well, this last episode was jaw dropping for sure. I just can't believe Walt ran those guys over and shot the one at point blank range all to save Jessie. I'm glad he did though. I find the Walt/Jessie relationship mutually redeeming to some extent.

Walt killing those killing those guys was definitely a shocking moment and it made sense, after Mike telling Walt his story of going "half measure" instead of "full measure." So Walt went full measure and now Jesse has too when (if) he killed Gail.

Can't wait for next season!

BUMPPPPPP!

I discovered this show last year and it's simply amazing.

I'm halfway through S3 and OMFG at the showdown between Hank and the Twins at the Parking Lot.

Cranston and Aaron Paul deserve their Emmys.

Me too. That episode was well worth the wait. As the seasons go by, I like Walt less and Marie more. She seemed like such a busy body when the show started out, but I love the way she is standing by Hank.

Gus was brutal last night. I sort of felt sorry for Vincent. He thought he was going to get Gus's approval for learning Walt's process, but it seems Walt was right and the lab is wired. I'm assuming that Gus didn't just kill him to make his point, but that it was also because people saw his face at the crime seen.

I wish Gale had been in a few more episodes.

Walt's loyalty to Jessie is the only think that's keeping him human to me. Other than that, Walt IS the cancer (I stole that idea from MarkH, but it is so true).

He did. Shot him right in the face. :o I totally fell for the fake out (Gale being alive at the beginning of the episode) thinking Jesse didn't shoot him.

He sure was! I had a feeling he was going to kill that dude but certainly not by cutting his throat! I had to look away from the screen when all that blood spurt out of his neck.

Yup. That's why Mike asked him if anybody saw his face.

What a season finale!! Gus has been rocking this season - loved how he took out the cartel. But his time was coming to an end. His death scene was one of the most memorable death scenes I've ever seen. When he walked out adjusting his suit after the explosion but we only see one side of his face, I totally fell for it and was like, "No way! He can't be alive!" Then we see the other half of his face! My jaw dropped. Such an amazing scene. LOL Loved how Walt used Tio Salamanca to kill Gus.

So Walt was the one who poisoned the kid? Wow. With that and him using his neighbor to go into his house, Walt has definitely become one of the best villains on TV.

The last 16 episodes should be great as Hank gets closer to finding out about Walt. I can't wait that huge revelation and Walt downfall, whether that be death or going to prison.

    • Despite having never watched Ryan's Hope, I read Tom Lisanti's book recently as I'm fascinated by behind the scenes stories of soap production. A really enjoyable read, which gave a good sense of the show and New York at that time.  I have to say though, that the vitriol regarding the quality (or lack thereof) of Loving only makes me want to watch that show even more! (It's on my list anyway as I've never seen The Loving Murders).

    • I think it's funny that Philip is walking around in today's episode thinking it is wrong that people are still mad at him for stealing half of Xander's inheritance.  While Alex struggles to finish reading a manuscript in under 118 hours, Philip was like, “hey, help me out with Xander, let's be cool, and forget that I basically blackmailed you and your girlfriend to lie that I was cucking you.” This is truly a Monday miracle, because I enjoyed the Kristin and Brady scene.  It is completely un-Kristin-like to have any insight into her behavior, but I appreciated the attempt.   We're so far from Kristin-social-worker that we met back in the 90s, but it was a clever callback to show that she's still in there somewhere.  Kristin has become such a loon, it felt like she was being humanized. Finally, I found solace in the fact that I've gone my entire life without having a job where my boss needs to tell me where they keep the gun, -- on the first day of training. (I guess Salem does have an unusually high murder rate for such a small population?)

    • CBS should consider reviving an old soap opera for the 3 PM time slot.   The EDGE OF NIGHT..... 
    • Why is Liam/SC still in the 7 Dwarves hat?  They cut his head wide open?  Our President only had to wear a maxi pad for 2 weeks and he had a paper cut on his ear.  That musta been some bump on the head?     I happened to see Liam talking to Bill today.  Man DD is terrible.
