TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

I've seen them, usually at work. It's alright, but I would stop well short of hilarious.

Last night's SNL was the best I've seen in years. I thought this sketch was particularly amusing.

I'll be damned if this Breaking Bad marathon hasn't completely sucked me in...it's kind of cool to watch it again and notice some of the nuances and hints they give to things that happen in the future.

I still have the last four episodes on my DVR from when they originally aired. I keep pretending that if I don't delete them, then the show will last forever.

I broke down and purchased from Amazon Instant the last season to finish off Breaking Bad.

It's only been about a month and half hiatus since Netflix episodes finished with Hank sitting on the can reading Walt Whitman.
But I feel like I need a refresher now. Thru episode 4 of finale, and I had to pause and google a few things.

A few spoilered thoughts heading into the stretch run:

[SHOW]

Discussing show with my nephew( a film buff of sorts) -I mentioned to him that up until the final season, I still "rooted" for Walt in his endeavors and even though I know it is perverse to do so. i.e. - I found myself considering his wife a [expletive] for sending the kids away etc. and things like that.

But now, since Hank has found out, I'm completely against Walt, and rooting for Hank/Jesse. I don't know if it was the viewing hiatus or me coming to my senses. My nephew asked me at my point-4 episodes to go - what would it take for Walt's redemption"? and I can't think of anything for redemption. Really, since Walt watched Jesse's GF die, he's been irredeemable to me (even though I still pulled for him, perversely).

... His full confession, finding a cure for cancer, producing an antimeth, bringing down the entire meth trade, world peace etc etc before his death, that might bring a measure of redemption -but I don't see how Breaking Bad could pull that off without becoming crappy in a "Crash"/it-all-comes-together-in-the-end sort of way. I don't see full redemption as an option from an artistic sense.

I'll keep an open mind and look forward to seeing why the hell he retrieves the ricin from his house for -so don't ruin it. Am curious -For you that watched BB when it originally aired and suffered thru the wait for new seasons - how much googling and back pedaling did you do? (or did AMC show a little refresher montage at beginning each weak-like they do with MadMen)? When/if did you finally turn against on Walt?

I think you'll be pleased with the outcome.

I never turned against walt.

This seems as good a place as any to put this, but anyone who still enjoys pro wrestling, they've announced a WWE Network, and it seems pretty good.

You get access to some reality shows/documentaries that I'm sure are crap, but it also covers live streaming of every PPV, including Wrestlemania. And On Demand access to every WWE, WCW and ECW PPV. I think I'll be signing up if only for this reason.
