I like how they brought the fly back. Hell, I like all the shout-outs to previous seasons in the season 5 finale.

I'm at the beginning of Season 3. Look it's a good show. And I like it for different reasons then have been stated (consequences of greed, sin, etc.) But is Walt supposed to be a likable character? He's like one of the most selfish, self centered pricks on TV. Only truly loves himself. Can't stand him. I like the show because of the acting but I think he deserves every bad things that happens to him. The way he justifies his greed is annoying.

Now, I do feel sorry for Jesse. Because he's so pathetic and has no support. I do hate how they try to talk hood on here. Comes off so corny. It's a dope show. Well written. But not g.o.a.t. so far. We'll see how Season 3 is.

No. Well, it's up to you. The whole point of the show is to turn the protagonist into the antagonist. The "hero" into a villain. So whether or not you like him is secondary to, do you find him interesting?

Also, Walt gets much, much worse as the series goes on. Some people can't stand him in season 1 because he's a p*ssy. Some people can't stand him in season 5 because he's turned into a monster. Some people are in between, and like how ruthless he becomes. Really it's up to you.

And Jesse "talking hood" is meant to be corny. When the series starts he's supposed to be Walt's link into street shyt because Walt is a square. As the series goes on it becomes obvious Jesse was never "about that life" while Walt becomes more and more evil. Most people like Jesse around season 4 or 5.

Lastly, the second half of season 3, the whole season 4, and the 8 we've seen so far from season 5 is what entered this show into the GOAT discussion. So stick with it and post your thoughts as you watch it.

I can't believe I slept so hard on this show.

Thanks to Netflix and taking my ipad on the train to work, I was able to breeze through Seasons 1-4.

I need to catch up and get started on season 5 but it isn't on netflix or on demand :sadbron:

This show though, particularly seasons 3 and 4 :whoo:

I dunno if you're up on torrents but you can get all 8 eps in HD from torrents.to. If you wanna go the legal route Amazon.com has all 8 eps for $2.99 each.

Anyone know when the last half of season 5 airs on AMC?

They just started filming the first ep about a week ago, and have 4-5 (of 8) written so far. Given this time frame I'd say June-July 2013.
