God damn I love Aaron Paul. My dad had a meeting to go to so my mom came over and watched the first two episodes of Breaking Bad with me at my place. I have been trying to get them both to watch this show FOREVER. They always watch horrible shit like CSI, figured they needed a good show in their lives.
She absolutely loved it. Laughing at every scene with Jesse. Now just need to get my dad on board.

I managed to get my parents into it too, they love it. My dad had some problems with the more violent and depressing scenes at first but my mom was super chill since she's used to watching so many police dramas, lol.
Nice job! My mom said "OMG your right he is just like your father". I told her previously that Walter White reminds me of dad so much. Everything from the white collar nerdy look, no criminal past, would never even think of speeding. Then that look WW get's on his face when he rages at the car wash. She said "That looks just like your father when he gets mad!".
I am really hoping I can get him into watching it with her at night, easily my favorite show ever.

this is showtime we're talking about, in 6 seasons we'll be talking about how far homeland fell off and how shitty it is and how the next 3 seasons (hopefully the last ones) are going to painful.

My dad and I started watching the show together. He quit when what was left of Emilio fell through the ceiling.

Not sure who the lucky one is in that relationship.

Huh. I thought Giancarlo Esposito already won an Emmy for his role as Fring?
Anyway, Bryan Cranston should have won of Damion Lewis, but I'm also glad that Aaron Paul finally got his spotlight (although I read that this was his second Emmy win?).

As much as I hoped Giancarlo would win, I knew Aaron was going to win it because of the Problem Dog speech.
I would have been happy/sad either way. Both were of another caliber, so that it went to the show at all is great enough.
Nah, this was Giancarlo's first nomination.
And Bryan's streak ending is a little disappointing, but you know he'll pick up at least one more trophy. I'm still not sure how this one season over two years thing works for awards, but I think he can grab nominations in 2013 and 2014.
Aaron Paul had already won, this was his third nomination. He didn't get nominated for the first season, got nominated and lost for the second, won for the third, and then this was for the fourth season.

Oh, then I wish Giancarlo won then. Both were really good honestly and I wouldn't be able to pick between the two (Paul and Esposito) personally but I'm sure Aaron Paul has two more really good shots of winning another emmy for Pinkman while Giancarlo Esposito doesn't have another shot winning as Fring and Fring was a scary, controlled, and cold villain due mostly to Giancarlo's acting.
Agreed. Cranston's performance as Walter White is probably the best performance I've seen on TV or movie.
I thought he got nominated and lost to Esposito but I see I was wrong.

If Cranston is going to lose to anyone, I don't mind it being Damien Lewis, who is also elite tier (Band of Brothers performance was just legendary, and Homeland is awesome, Life was also good mainly just because of him)
LOL exactly how I've felt the past couple of years.

Oh duh that makes sense. Dat kitchen speech.
Watched all the seasons in the last week for the first time (apart from season 1 which I watched when it premièred in 2008). I know this thread is one big circle jerk so I will tread lightly, but I don't think it lives up to the hype. Don't get me wrong, it's a great show, but by season 5 I almost didn't care any more, which was weird as I thought season 4 was the best. Maybe it's because I watched it all in the matter of a week and ruined it for myself, but I came out the end with mixed feelings. Again, good show, but doesn't live up to the hype. And yeah, I enjoyed Fly.
Not to pick on you, but I think "doesn't live up to the hype" evaluations in general are mostly meaningless. Certainly evaluation of a TV show will lead you to compare your opinions to others, but if that's all your evaluation is then it's fairly empty. Even if you hated the show, I'd much rather read: what did you think about the direction, the pacing, the music, etc. Those opinions matter regardless of context.
I can see where you are coming from, but going into the show.. with all the hype around it... I guess you could say I almost expected the next best thing since sliced bread. Basically I'm saying that it didn't live up to expectations, not that that's a bad thing.
Watching it all in the matter of week.. I can't help but wonder if that was to my detriment. Regardless all I know is that I didn't enjoy it as much as everyone else seems too.
I think season 5 rubbed me the wrong way as well. All over the place, with them starting up the business one episode and bailing out the next, it just felt all very rushed so they could get to the inevitable conclusion.
If that's what you want to think.
I think the first three seasons are average at best. But season four really picked things up and the fifth season was fantastic.

You guys have bad opinions and you should feel bad.

Why would you watch over thirty hours of something you consider "average at best"?
I disagree with those opinions but this sentiment is also odd. Why does a person watch a long show that they consider average at best? 1) because they didn't know how it would be going into the show. 2) after a while you feel invested and want to continue to obtain a complete story, regardless of opinion. 3) cultural relevancy.
It's not at all weird to invest time in a show you don't expressly love.

First three seasons average? Are you on fuckin crack?
Oh and watching everything in a week is the worst thing possible, literally, BB is a slow burn, something that you enjoy like a good old whiskey, you savor it.
