TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

Oh, and getting back to the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul comparisons--it's not like Breaking Bad didn't have some flaws in the first season. The plot contrivance in which Jesse goes back to Walt because all of a sudden Jesse is a meth connoisseur was absurd.

I love BB too, but the entire "Plane crash because flight controller was sad because daughter died of drug overdose because walt white was there and didn't save her" plotline was absurd and out of place too.

I honestly think season 2 is the weakest in the show's run. And that was a result of the writer's strike. They had this big plan laid out with Tuco, but then the down time afforded the actor a chance to find another gig. They also didn't plan on Jesse being such a big character but once they got him on set for season 1 and saw how well he fit, they had to rethink everything.

Basically, season 2 was them re-establishing their groundwork for future seasons, which then became seasons 3, 4, 5A, and 5B- some of the very best that TV has ever had to offer.

Does anyone remember the one episode in season 5B that was the most gripping hour of television ever? I wanna say it was ep 4 but cant remember.

I wanna watch it again.

BB Spoilers below, gobirds

To be simpler about it, BCS hasn't really had any "Holy [expletive], what just happened?" moments and I think BB had a few of those in the first season.

They've only aired three episodes!

Of course, but I'm just disagreeing that BCS is already better than BB based on that number. BB in the same number of episodes already had the premise set up which was itself pretty unique, they've cooked in the desert, gassed the two gang members and killed one of them which they follow with dissolving him in the bathtub, Walt has his internal debate about killing Crazy 8, and then does kill him.

Seems to me like BCS is shaping up to be a very good lawyer/crime dramedy, which is perfectly OK.
