Same here. I didn't realize, I had reached the end until I came here and I read the topic on "Face Off." I guess, I miscounted .

FWIW, it looks like AMC is running from Season 1 now.

Breaking Bad certainly has been the best thing I've watched all year.

Finished S3 last night by watching "Half Measures" and "Full Measures". Man, Gus is *not* going to be happy about Walt/Jesse checkmating his meth-cooker succession plan.

It seems AMC is done airing the catchup marathon. The most recent episode on now playing list is season 4, episode 13. I think that's the last one.

I'm suffering from BB overload. Thanks to this thread I've watched the entire series in the last week. Don't know how I missed such an outstanding show.

RE: Gus...Can't pass this one up.

Still plowing through it. I'll probably just get through season 3 before I have to head to Ohio for close to three solid weeks.

Just finished S3, and watched the first part of the S4 premiere. Just all kinds of fabulousness. I went back and read the S3 finale thread ("Full Measures"), and there was a huge debate on (being vague to avoid spoilers) the gunshot and its effects.

I got excited when I saw the finale was 1:48. Booyah! Almost two hours of BB! Turned out to be a sneak of Rubicon stuck on the end.

I'm having some problems watching S4E1. My TiVo S3, which is the DVR I have all the BB recorded on, keeps locking up (leads to a reboot). Probably the HD going bad; that's why I bought my Elite a few months back. I'm about halfway thru S4E1 and I can't get past this one spot. I keep trying different tricks, some of which buy me a few minutes, others not so much. This is killing me not being able to finish this ep. Making my pain even more palpable is I had started recording BB on one of my other DVRs, and it has S4E3 on. But not E1/E2. If I can make it past these two, I can go to Plan B.

Back on thread... I thought Season Three was superb. Again, staying vague so others can read spoiler-free, it has become one of the most addictive shows I watch. Up there with Justified and GoT. Can't wait to see where we go this season!

Why don't you transfer the BB eps 1&2 to the Elite?

Finished season 3 this morning and can't wait to jump into season 4. I'm going away in a couple of days and probably will not be able to catch up.
How did I overlook this show ?

Finished season 4 last week and looking forward to season 5.

I still find it a little hard to believe that
Spoiler:
Walt took out Gus. But do like how it was done. I just thought Gus would continue to be a thorn in Walt's side. What happens now? Does Hank become Walt's nemesis or does another cartel come in to fill the vacuum of Gus's death?

I'm at our weekend place until Wednesday, I brought the S3 with me so I could enjoy Season 4 over the next couple days. It has all 46 episodes of Breaking Bad, a dozen or so movies and the 3 eps of Hatfield & McCoy, which is what I'm watching now. The Elite's at home. I have most of the BB's on the Elite also, but alas...

We have DirecTV here, and that's the DVR that has about 30 of 46 episodes on it, but is missing S4E1/2. So I brought the S3 so I would have every ep with me. But alas...

I have four working DVRs with probably 120 episodes of BB spread across them, and I can't watch two $#@% episodes.

Are you able to connect your DTV DVR to the internet? But as I think about it, I don't think their AMC OnDemand (channel 1254) has season 4, does it?

Definitely

No. We have HughesNet satellite Internet here. Possibly the worst 'net provider around. Latency measured in seconds, not ms, with a d/l speed that can rival dial-up. Maybe.

IOW, we can't use the Internet to stream. We can barely surf.

Took a break over the weekend to watch 1st half of S1 of Game of Thrones over the weekend (had the Blu-rays), but started S4 of Breaking Bad last night. Watched 4.01 "Box Cutter", 4.02 "38 Snub", 4.03 "Open House" and 4.04 "Bullet Points".

Dude. That last scene in Box Cutter was cray-zy.

Right with you Rob. I just started S4 in prep for July 15, and I'm through the first four, also. I'm pacing myself through the next week or so to watch "Face Off" the day before or the day of the S5 premiere. What an epic series...

For any who have tried a few episodes and still aren't convinced, I really liked the first 5, but episode 6 is the one that hooked me. And like others have said it gets even better. I'm watching some episodes now for the 5th or 6th time in preparation for the new season and still one episode just pulls you right in to the next whether you have time to watch or not.

I do have to agree with the spoiler criticism, it's better to be overly cautious with this show in particular.

Spoiler:
Take box cutter for instance, I don't think anyone saw that coming, and simply knowing someone is alive in a later episode can be a spoiler


Lots of people, especially in this thread, would be unaware of promos, awards and such.

I just finished watching S1-S4 in a marathon over the last couple of weeks. It was very difficult to stop watching every night since it seemed that each episode ended in a cliff-hanger. Great show!

A couple of questions:

Spoiler:
Why did Walt think it was safe to have conversations with Jessie at Jessie's house when we know that Mike can bug a house and record conversations? Everywhere else they might be overheard they are very careful but they don't seem to care when at Jessie's house.


Spoiler:
Why do Walt and Jessie argue and scream so much when a honest conversation would settle an issue? This drives me nuts that these two characters won't grow up when talking to each other.


Spoiler:
What is to come from Walt calling Walt Jr. "Jessie" as he fell back to sleep after the fight with Jessie? I get that Walt thinks of Jessie as a son.


Spoiler:
Will Mike return in S5? I like this character and his scenes with Jessie.


Spoiler:
Did Skyler give Ted most of their money to save a tax audit? Seems they should have more than $600K saved by the end of S4.


-Bob

We have about 10 episodes left to be caught up.

Love pretty much every episode but the FLY one. That sucked.
