If breaking bad ate shit while watching TDKR and then had diarrhea 2 hours later that shit would be better than Dexter.

Now now, there's no need to bring TDKR into this. That was uncalled for.

my favorite season
It's pretty simple really. That kid was the first person to die who was completely innocent, completely unrelated to the business and who also died as a direct result of one of Walt's operations.
Whether Walt caused Jane's death is a long and tedious argument. The deaths of the airplane people were, at best, indirectly caused by Walt; there are several degrees of separation between his actions and their deaths.
Everyone else who has died as a result of Walt's meth business was not an innocent. You have Emilio and Crazy 8, Tuco, the two street-level dealers, Gale, Hector, and Gus. Every one of those kills was justified.
This kid's death crossed a boundary. A completely unrelated, completely innocent person is dead at the hands of one of Walt's direct employees. That's new ground for this show, unless you really want to argue that Walt was personally responsible for Jane's death. Either way, there's a world of difference between Jane and this kid. The direct cause of Jane's death was the heroin she injected into herself. This kid was just riding a dirt bike.

Yup, I saw it right after posting in here! There's a spoiler in the review that I posted in the other thread. It's pretty fucking awesome, GAF will go crazy over it.

lol I love that.
also hype +1
I know someone who has seen "buyout" already and I asked him what he thinks without spoiling and he said it's fucking great. He is not the person that wrote that article above
What's the source on this?
Considering the quality of TDKR, dexter sounds pretty bad.
Dexter Season 1 is actually really, really good.
If that had been a one-off and had just stopped right there, it would be considered a classic.
The problem was that they could NEVER top that first season, because, without spoiling anything, it used the best possible plot devices available with that scenario and set of characters.
There was nowhere to go but down after Season 1.

Marie in the knee-highs are kinda hawt
Was thinking same
Walt in Hank's office WAS a very odd instance of a means to an end storytelling. In a show where basically everything happens methodically, that scene felt so... circumstantial. It was a bad scene. Other than that, it was pretty typical Breaking Bad. A little bit too good to be true but overall, it was Breaking Bad. Felt like Season 1 ish.
Agreed. Season 1 was great TV, so I checked out Season 2 and it was crash, and from everything I've read it only gets much much worse. Never watched anything past 2, but my strong opinion on it sucking AFAIK was a source of arguments between me and my ex haha. Weeds is another show that should've ended much much sooner, after Season 3 at the latest.

How bad is it compared to Gus' atrocious Spanish?

how can he know if he doesnt speak native spanish?
Any native spanish and german speakers here?
This is actually a myth. Viewers forget that the Trinity Killer stuff, while very good, was only about half of the season. The other half was whatever stupid stories were going on outside of that, and they were horrible. So as a whole, season 4 can only be kind of OK at best.
for real
I just want to say that this season has been great for the most part. I am disappointed in how they are handling Walt. He is just so straight up bad now. He does not have the depth that he once did to make me route for the guy. They could kill him tomorrow and I would be happy to watch the rest of the characters.
.. because he IS a bad person now? how else would they handle him lol

I think Lydia's actress might be over acting a little bit, whenever she gets all nervous and stuff it just seems so overdone that I just laugh, or is that the intent?
You'll be putting Walt on your Ignore list, then?

I feel like they didn't want to cheat following the Crawl Space breakdown. I respect them for going all the way with it this season.

Nah, Walt's not smanging anyone. He's not even sexually driven. (His rapey overtures to Skyler come from a different place.)
