I'll see them soon. Time, time...what a bugger it is.<br /><br />Super good show. I didn't watch much of Breaking Bad. I could tell it was good but I didn't take the time to watch. I must whip myself into shape and download a few more episodes.

On top of everything else, I'm behind on my television watching! But as soon as I catch up I want to read your analysis. You always have such keen insight on plot and characters.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967821142796562697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-49738515738241860602015-08-03T15:50:42.534-06:002015-08-03T15:50:42.534-06:00There are similarities, although Walter White want...There are similarities, although Walter White wanted to fit in with society but , as a chemistry teacher, just didn't get decent pay or any respect.

They hit Neil Diamond and Beethoven's 7th really close together. I had a laugh at that.

I'm not sure if it should be compared to Breaking Bad at this point but it's the best thing I've seen in a while.<br /><br />The fact they killed Shayla showed the showrunners aren't afraid to kill the people that get close to Elliot and it definitely took the series to another level (I was really starting to like her too). I can't wait to see what happens when Elliot figures out what is going on with Angela. Her character seems to be the one that is 'breaking bad' and I wonder if when Elliot sees it whether he will pull back before another person he cares for gets hurt.Kevin Longhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092721842140433268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-49968174180394211212015-08-03T07:47:21.006-06:002015-08-03T07:47:21.006-06:00I have no idea.
