New Season just started. Definitely my favorite show right now.

Re: the first episode of the new season, I loved this scene--

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4b2mneACNs

Don't know why whoever uploaded that video felt "agitated" by it. I thought it was the funniest part of the episode. It really shows how Walter isn't just stuck in situations that call for deception; his very psychology thrives on it. Unlike most shows where some normal guy is forced to engage in a bunch of awkward, dishonest activities, Walter's an awkward, dishonest guy who's most troubled when he's forced to engage in normal activities. Obvious contrast with Jesse's straightforward sense of guilt and subsequent counseling.

That scene was so awesome. It really showed some of his psychological issues, like you said.

I only watched the marathon on AMC building up to the premiere, and I am quite hooked. It's a really brilliant show.

And here's probably the best scene from the entire series so far (taken from the first season):

Great show - although I'm a bit put off by all the unnecessary nudity (and by nudity, I mean all the Bryan Cranston nudity). Shocked

I can't wait for Saul Goodman to return to the scene.

Back home we had our own version of Saul named D. Todd Williams. Same kind of commercials. Anytime someone got pinched or went through some crazy stuff people would always talk that they wanted to get D. Todd.

Hi, I'm Saul Goodman. Did you know that you have rights?

Odenkirk is perfect for that role. I'm a big Mr. Show fan too.

i dont know what the hype is like in america, but amc is making some great shows. maybe because it is AMC they arent getting hte "street cred" they deserve, but they will. and "lol" to the comment about unnecessary nudity.

am i the only one that feels like an idiot when having to spell necessary?

Well, Steelrails got what he wanted with this latest episode. Without spoiling too much just yet, I'll say that there was a major theme of "blowback" and liability as a surprising advantage played out in a few different ways.

watched episode 2. it was pretty good. however, all the story so far is lag from the last season. i want to see something new. or, at least get back to hustling.
