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.

    • I knew you would be so excited seeing your girl Brookey as #1!!!! She also WINS as to Frequently Married!!!  
    • Yes, Stacy does this both for early DAYS & early GH. I have written some for her, for DAYS. But just one tiny point & that is that she only deals with DVDs. I realize that is not the point of your posting but it seemed the right thing to clarify. I know that you know that video tapes is past, not present.
    • Hahahha I think sleeping with almost all of your daughters's boyfriends and husbands and getting pregnant... definitely gives Brooke the right to top 1 place. Long live the whore of Beverly hills.

    • CurlyQGrl has DVDs of some episodes, that they can sell, but that doesn't matter. What is helpful: they describe the scenes on the tapes, so you can read that as recaps without ordering anything. Doesn't really give storylines, though, which is what you asked for.  Here's the links anyhow. full menu https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/menu.html GH page https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/menu.html GH 1960s https://www.angelfire.com/tv/curlyqgrl/gh/eps/gheps1960s.htm
    • I would argue that Another World never played "everything" for laughs. Even when there were comedic scenes in some storylines there were other storylines that were not intended as comedy.  You give 1988 as the end point, and Mary was on the canvas from August 1986 to February 1989, so she must have overlapped with the despised laughs you are referring to at least half of the time she was there. I honestly can't recall any real comedy that Mary would have been part of. I don't think she was lighthearted about choosing between two husbands, MJ's prostitution, Kathleen's death, or even her son Scott dating her daughter Cheryl.  I would have said that the amount of comedy depended on the head writer and there was more comedy under Richard Culliton and Gary Tomlin in 1984 than subsequent headwriters. I guess there was an outbreak of more comedy when Cecile kidnapped Cass from his wedding in 1986, but in general the Sin Stalker wasn't presented as funny, Mitch's return wasn't funny, John's arrival wasn't funny, Reginald wasn't funny. The tone was serious even if the plots verged on the ludicrous. And maybe that's what you mean -- but I would make a distinction between intentional comedy and storylines I can't take seriously for other reasons. 
    • I'm excited for us to get back to a full weeks worth of episodes and also us beginning to move into the episodes filmed once the show premiered. We're already starting to see changes in the lighting and the way certain characters are styled. Of course we know this week we have our first recast as well. After the big Eva reveal, I hope the show continues to move into a positive direction and that we see them starting to fix some of the things we've all had issues with.
    • It seems like they may have been going in one direction for Andre and then changed their mind. He had this player/bachelor thing going at first where he was messing with Dani, seemed to be feeling Eva, and then somehow smitten by bland Ashley of all people. I feel like Ashley was supposed to be the one that finally made him want to be with someone and settle. The way he talked her up in those earlier episodes was really confusing. The wonderful, amazing nurse Ashley and conveniently she's unattainable because she has a partner, but he can't stop thinking of her and takes these busted pics of her. It was a mess. However, it all seems to have been dropped. I honestly feel like Andre can go. That may be an unpopular opinion but I don't need his breathy final syllable to be content with BTG. It's always like "There's gotta be another wh-ahyy"
    • This is where McLaibey falls apart. It becomes clear that McTavish had not thought past Brent/Marion...so the energy drops and she starts throwing things at the wall (Blakes twins, Lonatrat.)   Fans HATED this funeral. Everyone is mad at everyone else, which is fine, the death of a beloved community figure would give people a reason to come together...(Quint and Nola could come together at least for  a bit to support each other, Nola and VAn could finally admit they kinda, sorta like each other) Its just an example of McTavish's mean writing.   I have a feeling they were going to make Dahlia Frank's kid but they chickened out. Making Tina a prostitute didn't help, they could have been lovers when they were young but felt society pressure to part. Marcus took over David's role (you can't have two young black men at that time...)   Get used to it...this will happen, the same storyline over and over until the end.
