well they DID start this last ep with a pointless flashback... :whistling:

 

wasn't pointless if you ask me, it showed how much Walt thought he was gonna be able to provide for his family and how their dreams got gutted like a fish

i was heartbroken to see gail (sp?) go, apparently, but i do enjoy the tension that is now set in motion.

 

new futurama to tide us over till next february or whenever the fuck it starts over.

 

oh yeah and the last two or three episodes mike has been fucking killing it!

I believe season 4 was confirmed by someone, but i don't remember who.

 

If I had to guess, 5 seasons total

 

Bryan Cranston has allegedly said he expects the show to run no more than 5 seasons. No source though but it is brought up every now and then on the imdb boards for this show

We've talked in the past about your idea that you see this as a four-season show. Given where we've come by the end of this season, do you still feel that way?

 

Boy, I tell ya. This is the tough question of all time. It's the question I think about every day. Philosophically, I truly believe it's better to leave the party too early rather than too late. I'd rather leave people wanting more. I want to satisfy the audience as much as I humanly can. But I think it would be more satisfying for people to say, "Jesus, I wish they ran a little longer" than for them to say, "Man, that show used to be good, and then I just lost all interest because it became the same old thing, week in and week out." Of those two possibilities, I'd prefer the first.

 

Having said that, this show continues to surprise me, and I think it surprises my writers, day in and day out that, knock on wood, we continue to be interested in these characters ourselves. I think that's the root reason the show remains interesting: we, the people creating it, remain interested in the characters we're writing about and the stories we're telling. We continue to be confounded and fascinated by Walter White and why he does the things he does, and is there any good left in him? All these kind of questions continue to fill our days. They continue to consume us.

 

All of this is to say, four seasons feels pretty good to me, and I have said that in several interviews, but I can't say it with absolute certainty. At the end of every season, we try to end with a big enough bang, in a fashion such that if the whole series ended right then and there, it'd be somewhat satisfying, or at least end with a big enough bang. So if for instance we didn't get a season four, it'd be a bummer of an ending, but it'd be a big ending nonetheless, and it could work as a series ender. Having said all of that, season four might be a good place to end it, possibly we could go to season five. Can't picture anything beyond season five. I don't have a definitive answer for you, because the character continues to be interesting to me, and I'm not that Bobby Fischer player where I had the whole thing figured out in my head. I don't know exactly where Walt's going to wind up. I have the vaguest of ideas of how the series should end in a satisfying, at least to me, manner. But having said that, I don't know how long it'll take to get from the point we're at to that point, and I don't know how long we'll have. Because as with most TV shows, the structure of the business is such that if a show is doing well, you don't think about ending it, you only think about continuing it. We don't have any other business paradigm than any other show has in that regard. There's no real talk of ending things.

 

I don't have a definitive end date in mind. I kinda wish though that someone would say, "Okay, it's gonna end on this date exactly X number of episodes from now. So write to that wisely." That's how you have at least half a chance of ending a show in a truly satisfying manner, is to know how many days you have left. But in the absence of anyone telling me that, and I don't think anybody's gonna tell me anytime soon, we just have to continue parceling out the story as best we can and kind of hope to keep things interesting.

.. But I’m realizing now that when people see the camera come dollying around so it’s looking down the barrel of the gun, some are reading that as maybe he’s changing his point of aim. But that’s not what we intended. Apparently it’s not as clear as I thought it would be.

I just finished watching series 3. Was starting to get a bit bored with the whole everything going well then Jesse fucks it up loop, but the last few episode were very good. Dont know why this hasnt been picked up for British television. FiveUSA showed series 2 in successive nights over the new year, but noone watched it coz it was on at about midnight, during the holiday season and no fucker watches FiveUSA, so it didnt really stand a chance. Its been some excellent television so far.

 

 

Shit, ive nothing to watch now.

No

 

If you havent watched The Shield you probably should, from Forest Whitaker appearing till the end is quality TV. Im still slightly cut up about Shane.

 

^July next year i think i read

just finished watching this the other night, been following the thread as i watched (and trying not to read too far ahead, hehe). i don't think i've ever felt so tense while watching a tv series, lol. amazing show, even the slow filler episodes are a good contrast to the tense stuff. can't wait for the new season! might start watching x files from the beginning to tide me over.
