haha yeah I laughed at that. They really want people to watch this dog. I'm glad I don't mind missing the previews, because I'd be annoyed.

I hate how AMC makes you sit through a sh!t show in order to see the preview for next weeks episode. They would always have the previews at the end of the show.

Oh come on, this show is not so bad. That old broad with the "hollywood complex" has horrible makeup and even has lipstick on her teeth. Thats funny shit...

I love the scene where Skyler visits Ted... And she quickly moves from remorse for her part in what happened to him, to embracing the power of he being scared of her.

"That's the moment I think when there's a little bit of the Heisenburg that happens to Sklyer" -Anna Gunn (Skyler) said in an interview

Very strong episode IMO.

I actually appreciated that they had the coming attractions during that next show, so I didn't inadvertently see any of them. To me it makes no sense to watch coming attractions in a serial drama like this - why spoil the next episode? Actually the Mad Men ones are funny because they are technically shots from the coming episode, but you can't tell anything about what will actually happen because the snippets are so short.

Am I the only one who was disappointed with the season opener? It was good episode but I guess I was expecting something with a lot more HOLY (@*$ to start the season.

Apparently I missed something in season 4. When did Walt torch the lab? I don't remember watching that happen. Was this just assumed after he killed Gus?

they're doing some high security for the show now - no screeners, there's like one place you can watch the show without a giant watermark, whenever they're done working on a part it goes in a safe ( from the podcast ).

it's always a sign of a good show when they don't leave threads hanging or forget about past events/people - the gun salesman, junkyard dude, ted, lily of the valley plant, the cigarette, mike, etc.

i'm guessing that's the end of ted's storyline.

This was clearly shown in the Season 4 finale.
