Third Shift Open Thread

We continue on in the Kansas City Chiefs off season and you want to know what is keeping me entertained - Breaking Bad. I got Apple TV for Christmas and you know what? They were more than willing to sell me the fourth season of Breaking Bad quickly and easily for what I guess is a fair price. Since early December, I've watched the first three seasons of Breaking Bad on Netflix (via Apple TV) and like I said before, I'm onto the fourth episode of the fourth season now. It's arguably my favorite TV show of the last five years.
Box cutters now have an entirely new association to me.
This is your open thread for the night. Use it to talk about Breaking Bad, or whatever else you want.
P.S. If you don't have your birthday date public on Facebook, nobody remembers!

Todd Haley lost 7 of his last 15 games by 20 or more points. It was time for him to go.

Better To Order It On iTunes
More portable, you can make backup copies and you don’t have to find somewhere to put a physical product. Plus you can usually get it as the series is playing instead of waiting a year.
agree with you on breaking bad
Seen all 4 seasons. Sucks they say the 5th is the last.
Other great TV shows I’ve seen since BB IS sons of anarchy and walking dead. Recommend if you haven’t seen

SAMCRO>BB
BB is good, but there is always an episode or two each season that bores me to tears, that and walter’s wife really annoys me most of the time.

Ah not sure I remember, I caught it all last year while I was deployed, but got back, an unfortunately don’t fx. But if I remember right it’s just the name of the gang, but I definitely might have just missed it as well.

One more season sounds about right.
It’s my favorite show, but the plot arc has pretty much ran its course.

Yes
I’m almost at the point where I’m ready to hop off with it too. I think they probably picked the perfect length for that season.

I Think It's Good They're Stopping At Season Five
One of the biggest problems great shows (and stories) encounter is that the writers have no idea how to end them. They have a great concept, they have great characters, but it ends up being a road to nowhere. Eventually they end up recycling stories or getting stale and then they have some half-assed ending slapped on that just disappoints the fans. By season six or seven of most shows that last that long, the stories are generally dead and they’re just coasting off of reputation. I think Breaking Bad has an excellent ending in mind and it’s clear they’re showing the dehumanization and moral decay of Walter White…season five is where we get to see how it all pays off for him. I’m excited for it because I think it will end up being unexpected and original. Season four’s finale couldn’t have been better.
That is a great show also

I'm Mixed On It
First season was okay, second season was outstanding, third season drifted a lot and had kind of a ridiculous story arc with the IRA. I haven’t watched season four.
Too overdone to be honest
And it annoys me that they try to make EVERY character redeemable.
Guess what? It’s ok to have a couple of “bad” guys in a a freaking gun running motorcycle gang.

Did pioli get waters the patriots gig
They knew we were not getting there and Haley would be fired resulting in another rebuilding season. Could it be possible that they let waters go so he could get a shot before retiring? Or was it just coincidence

by ArrowheadHunter on Jan 23, 2012 9:27 PM CST reply actions
probably coincidence
waters was probably fired for younger kids
in FA, waters go to the pats and say “yo I used to work for your ex-gm.”
automatic job
I wonder if it was discussed
Never know. At first I thought he was cut due to negotiations during the lockout talks. It still could be the reason but ya never know

I don't think Waters was loking forward to training camp.
His only off season workout was carrying a briefcase to the lockout talks. I also don’t think he was Hunt’s favorite Chief at the time. Plus Asamoah’s time had come. I do believe it was a mutual decision.
If it wasn’t for the accursed paycheck, would I really imprison myself in this dungeon of the human soul?
by electriclight on Jan 24, 2012 2:47 AM CST up reply actions
I think it was a common parting of ways
We needed a starting spot open for Asamoah and Lilja fit better in the longterm plans so they let him go find a spot to play where he wanted to play.

Let's not get this twisted bro!
Friday Night Lights is the best show in the last….history of tv shows!
No comparisons. Its the best written, directed, and acted show ever. ESPECIALLY for a football fan.
I will go out on a limb and say no show will EVER be as good as FNL.

Glorious fucking day in KC. Trees…trimmed professionally but dirt cheap. Squirrel in the attic…in a mother fucking cage. Northland records via Earwax….scooped the fuck up, including a super rare metal track that I already have a buyer for. Always good when big victories come on Monday.

It's Starting To Get Stale
I think it jumped the shark after Rita died. Now it’s become somewhat formulaic and I didn’t see them breaking any new ground really.
How do you top that?
Can’t kill the sister, and she’s the only character more “unkillable” than Rita. So nowhere to go for a shock anymore…

Breaking Bad has been pretty great
The Wire was arguably better. I’m almost ready for it to end, though. I’m gonna miss Gus, one of the best characters. The way they killed him off with him straightening his tie was pretty cheesy. Season 5 you know Hank’s going to finally figure it out. It can’t end well. That and Mike’s going to come back from Mexico and can’t wait to see what happens between him and Walter.
If we're talking about awesome shows

Don't Knock The Formula Too Much
Basically the client stories are just there to provide distraction from the main story arc. I think they find a good balance. It’s a bit like House, but with a better overall arc.
Plus, I learned how to make a bomb with a microwave
Fun for the whole family!

I've Soured On It Over The Years
Especially after Alan Alda basically ran things…too preachy. And B.J. Hunnicut was one of the worst characters ever. I think Alda really wanted a sidekick who had no ability whatsoever to overshadow him.

Something about image servers/image search. The school district’s filters only allow us to see what THEY want us to see.

I Recently Got Hooked On That Show
Jim Parsons is a master at those one-liners and quips. The person who wrote them has done an amazing job as well.
Breaking Bad is one of the best tv shows I have ever seen.
I can’t wait till next season. S.O.A. is pretty fantastic also. And go Chiefs.
You guys need to check out.....
SHERLOCK!!!! It is a BBC production starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. It ABSOLUTELY blows the movies out of the water. They only do 3 episodes a season and they are an hour and a half long with no commercials. The first season is up on Netflix and the second just finished up airing in Britain. You can find it on the torrent sites if you know how to use them. I will tell you that in season 2, episode 3, Andrew Scott, who plays Moriarty, gives a performance on par with Heath Ledger as the Joker. Completely captivating. I don’t think many people in the US know about this series as it airs on PBS in the spring. Do yourself a favor and CHECK SHERLOCK OUT!!! You won’t be disappointed!
Pic at the top makes me think:
So I see the picture at the top of the page and think:
“Oh crap, it seems they have new security outside of the Chief’s practice field.”
