Breaking Bad is back tonight!

I genuinely cannot wait for Breaking Bad! I wonder what will happen.

This video was shown at comic-con

Is anyone else looking forward to it?

My favorite show of all time...it simply doesn't feel like a show. It's so well done, and such an incredible character study. A fascinating journey to say the least.

I just watched the season 5 opener and was blown away, as usual!
 


Magnets! Ya got to love 'em!

Now I have to go play Fantastic Contraptions again.
 


woohoo I love BB! I'll have to check if the new episode is on Amazon Prime.
 


What do you guys want to see out of the series?

Personally i'd like Walt to kill Jesse and become an untouchable king pin.
 


I'm curious to see what Hank will do when and if he finds out about Walt.
 


Does he even have to find out?

I'm not Hank's biggest fan, I really disliked the way he treated Marie although she's quite insufferable also.

I'd love the idea of Walt running everything under Hank's nose, maybe even toying with him...

Saw the new episode and was disappointed. Walt is not a likable character anymore IMO and they're already stretching for material it seems.

I've only now finished Season 2, and I'm having difficulty seeing what more they can do with it. Not that it's a wonderful show, but it seems like, with the premise that they've decided to follow, the show is limited in what it can do and how much material they can come up with.

I love the fact that he is no longer Walter White innocent chemist, but I still think he has redeeming features. He still cares for Jesse doesn't he?

That's why I said if.

I enjoy that as well. I just want to see his reaction if he finds out.

I won't spoil anything but he does treat Jesse badly sometimes.

I believe this is the final season (5). I would have been fine if they tied up loose ends last season and ended it.

Don't worry, 3 and 4 were fantastic! :)
