Breaking Bad comes roaring back this week with an awesome, instant classic episode. It had it all; great writing, great direction, great acting, humor, suspense… it’s hard to find something we didn’t like. We consider some show ratings news, our in depth recap, and consider your feedback.
So this is kind of awkward. Months of waiting, weeks of intense anticipation, days of breathless excitement, and then the premier came, and it was kind of just… okay?

And what did you, the fellow Breaking Bad fan have to say? This one was long, as we had a shocking amount of email to plow through, but we hope it was worth it, and look forward to seeing how this fascinating show manages to work its way through it’s fifth and final season.

Jim and A.Ron break down episode 509 of Mad Men, “Dark Shadows”. In which we’re treated to multi-generational Draper bitchface, multi-cultural prejudice, and poison clouds of gas.
