I have a ton of TeeFury shirts and no one ever gets any of them. Like everyone in my office is a huge fan of Game of Thrones and I have a shirt for "Direwolf lager, brewn in Winterfell" and people are like "oh is that a beer that you like?" :(

I bought a t-shirt with this design recently:

My very first time wearing it, somebody working in a store commented on it. I've also had comments at work.

A couple more looks at the Breaking Bad art gallery showing in LA:

- EW.com: 'Breaking Bad' art show celebrates the ones who knock (and paint) -- PHOTOS
- ‘The Breaking Bad Art Project’ Rings All Of Our Bells

There's a bunch of good pieces in there that could be avatarized, e.g.:

No, Ken Taylor is one of the most frustrating artists on the internet. His work is always that awesome, but he does business like an art gallery artist... Meaning 20 prints at $200 a pop and no reprints. :(

Well screw him then! Some other artist who makes a better print AND makes it possible for everyone who wants one to buy it will get my money someday then!

Just finished watching the latest ep, and thought it was brilliant.
The scene with Walt freeing himself was the only complaint I have really, it didn't feel like Breaking Bad at all. This season seems to have had a few of those moments but it's still been great.

Aside from the first episode maybe, this whole season hasn't felt like Breaking Bad.
 
Finally reading that Jonathan Banks interview, really great stuff. I love the idea he's come up with himself that Mike lost his son. Explains how simple scenes between Mike and his granddaughter or Mike and Jesse have had so much heart in them.
GQ: Another annoying logic question: In "Buyout," Mike restrains Walt before he goes for his meeting with the DEA, but with mere plastic bands? Not metal handcuffs?
Jonathan Banks: Michael, Michael! I don't have the pen in my hand! Here's what comes from being around forever: It is a far bigger thing for me to say, "Vince, I should be shooting Lydia in the head!" That is of far more concern to me than plastic versus metal.

how do interviewers who ask questions like these get to big publications
GQ: These days do you strenuously look for work, or just take things as they come to you?
Jonathan Banks: I take them as they come. You can only sell your soul for too long. When I walk onto a set, no matter what it is, I always do the very best work that I can. But I'm not braindead, and I want to do things that I want to do, you know? I've got eighteen-year-old twins that need to go to college, so there's still a financial issue, but I could retire tomorrow and just count ducks by the side of the lake, and that would be just fine by me. I'm not a high-energy guy.

I disagree, in fact the first episode is probably my least favourite episode of Breaking Bad. The pacing was all over the place and the magnets storyline was ridiculous. Every episode since has felt like Breaking Bad mostly, but with a scene or two being a bit over the top.

It's to be expected though, they need to amp up the pace this season to finish on a satisfying conclusion.

You do. Deep down. Because otherwise the show ends up like Dexter or any other number of shows that dont know when to stop while they are way ahead..

Absolutely. While I'm certainly going to miss Breaking Bad when it's finished, I think it's great their limiting its run and giving it a really definitive run. Breaking Bad is about the journey of these characters more than anything. It makes it much more satisfying knowing that it will come to a real, logical conclusion in a time frame that makes sense rather than going through several seasons of random meaningless events before the end.
 
i am excited to see what, if anything, gilligan does next. the driving ethos of breaking bad is something that i'd love to see expanded out to other shows (one of drastic changes over the course of the show with real consequences).
 
Deadline bullish on Cranston's Emmy chances:
BRYAN CRANSTON (Breaking Bad, AMC)

Emmy Pedigree: In terms of the Primetime Emmys, Cranston has gone from a guy who can never win to a guy who seemingly can never lose. He was nominated for comedy series supporting actor three times (2002, ’03, and ’06) for his portrayal of the perpetually frazzled dad Hal on Fox’s Malcolm in the Middle and went home empty-handed every time. Conversely, he’s been nominated three times (2008, ’09, and ’10) for his work as the perpetually desperate meth chef Walter White on Breaking Bad and took home the statuette each year. He was denied last year, but perhaps only because his series wasn’t eligible. No actor on television turns in as consistently intense and mesmerizing a performance as Cranston, whose transformation from goofball daddy to sinister criminal is so complete that it’s difficult even to imagine the actor in his previous incarnation.

What We Say: Cranston’s work has turned him into TV’s ultimate antihero. It’s going to take an act of God (or Gus Fring) to keep him from winning his fourth trophy in a row.

Haven't seen one. Maybe reverse image search it?



EDIT: Handicapping the Best Supporting Actor Emmy race:
Deadline.com said:
GIANCARLO ESPOSITO (Breaking Bad, AMC)

Emmy Pedigree: It’s Esposito’s first nomination despite having been a steady character actor in television and film since the early 1980s. It took the TV Academy until Esposito’s final season to honor him, but better late than never.

What We Say: Esposito was able to communicate more with his eyes than most actors can with pages of dialogue. May Gus Fring rest in, well, whatever the opposite of peace is. And in the meantime, he’s the favorite here to win.



AARON PAUL (Breaking Bad, AMC)

Emmy Pedigree: Paul is the Emmy heavyweight of this group. This is his third nomination (the previous pair coming in 2009 and ’10, which he won) for his role as smalltime meth dealer-turned-mini kingpin Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad. His character has grown more sensitive and compassionate, and it stands out even among a cast of standouts. It’s why the producers decided to keep him around rather than kill Jesse off, as had been the original plan.

What We Say: He injects a vibrantly youthful element into a series that centers on a man suffering the world’s worst midlife crisis. Paul has a shot at winning his second, but this one’s likely to go to his costar, Giancarlo Esposito.

Bryan Cranston should quite easily win his 4th in a row but the only reason I have any doubts at all is because it would be his 4th in a row. Don't know if the people who choose the awards have the balls to let the best keep winning.

It's split. The Foreign Press purposely vote against the crowd favorite execpt on a few occasions.

At the same time when you make a season like season 4 which is considered one of the greatest seasons on TV that rival the wire/sorpranos....you can't exactly just write it off.

I wouldn't be surprised if the FP didn't give it to cranston just to prove a point that they are not "predictable"
