It's a bit ridiculous there's a discussion of coolest characters going on, and yet no one has mentioned Gael Boetticher.
Quite a reassuring name too. Makes you realise everything is ok.Saul Goodman is the best character by a long shot IMO
Twaddle. Draper is the man.There are a number of cooler characters than Don Draper (and Mike for that matter):
The Wire: Bunk, Omar, Clay Davies, Bodie, Stringer Bell
The Sopranos: Tony
Justified: Raylon Givens
Boardwalk Empire: Arnold Rothstein, Lucky Luciano
It was weird, I actually feel happy for Jesse about getting your one.Fair play to Jesse for getting his end away with the fit bird. This is nice. Doesn't always need to be 30 minutes of the two main characters been seconds away from a brutal murder at the hands of the psychopath. That episode still remains the most nervy 45 minutes I've ever seen of anything. Too far IMO. They should make millions now with no hitches, find a cure for Walt's terminal cancer, and all live happily ever after.
There's quite a lot of tension in the Season 3 Finale, yes.Question: Why is this programme not watched? I'm not talking in the sense of the Family Guy scene (which is good, just seen it), but in the sense that it's won absolutely shit loads of awards. The FG scene is based on 'all your friends' telling you to watch it 'cos it's really good'. So why aren't people watching it?
HIMYM - 10m
Lost - 20m
Prison Break - 10m
These have all been widely watched. What's BB's problem? Is it the network it's running on?
Also, I've been told about the 'end' of season 3. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to watch this one. I thought the start of season 2 where Tuco kidnaps and almost kills them was too much. By the way, it wasn't the blood or anything, it was that awful tension of the evil faced (IMO anyway, summat not right about it) uncle, who you knew any second was going to rat them out. But my mate says that if you're not keen on blood, don't watch it. I'm not sure that's what bothered me, it was the insufferably long pauses. They won't do that to me again will they?
A lot of Breaking Bad fans are internet based, so torrents, netflix, whatever rather than actually watching it live. I mean I know a lot of people who watch Breaking Bad, no one watches it on TV (obviously it isn't even on TV in the UK which is frankly ridiculous given some of the shows picked up from the US).Question: Why is this programme not watched?

Breaking Bad is at 5, which is probably a fairer reflection of it's popularity. Frankly i'm amazed how looking at that channel 4 for example haven't taken it up like they have other US series. Got a proven audience, interesting premise, and amazing critical reception. I know it was on 5 US or some such channel at absurd time, but that was largely before it started building such a large fanbase, and who watches 5 US anyway?Game of Thrones
Dexter
Big Bang Theory
How I Met Your Mother
Breaking Bad
The Walking Dead
Homeland
House
Fringe
Revolution
I fear people who have watched season 5 wont feel much for donating to "people like Walter White"

There'll be a spin-off series about Saul Goodman yet.I also think that Saul is a quality character. Humorous, baseless, but ultimately acts as a great go-to guy for Walt when things go wrong.
Breaking Bad is great for this, you've got some things coming up that will shock you.Half Measures!! Holy shit! Who saw that one coming! That was something else. I have never seen anything like it on TV before, ever.
I have a feeling I'm going to fly through these now. That was mental. I can't say I remember many times when I've actually exclaimed whilst watching TV. But I'm expecting Jesse to get gunned down, yet somehow survive, much like Hank, then out of nowhere, Walt runs them down, and quick as you like, blasts one of them in the head! All through the episode I knew something big was going to happen. Everyone talking about how dramatic the end of Season 3 is, and the rating (9.4) it has on IMDb, but I never saw that one. Wow, what a programme.
Onto Full Measure!
