Breaking bad started with Walt going on about how his cooking would be safe and then he grows a loving beard! The respirators they wear all series don't seal properly and are actually illegal to wear in a industrial environment with a beard. Also the shot of people in tyveks and masks pulling sir out of Walt's pool with the really loud breathing through a respirator sound had those dudes not having any filters in their masks, suo they would be breathing uninhibited

The ending was a foregone conclusion. They'd written the show into a corner. The exact corner anyone with half a brain could have predicted. Also, requesting a name change to Walter Wight.

To be fair, do any of these other shows try to take on anything as massive? Out of most of the things listed I've really only seen Breaking bad and the Wire and Dexter (Even the first 4 seasons i'd say were on par with GoT), and tiny bits of Mad Men. Not many other shows have had to juggle as many filming locations, characters and separate significant plot lines at the same time. And what it's all based on is a lot deeper and more complex then a show has any right to be. I can't really blame them for the show not being perfect. After reading the books I'm surprised they did as well as they did porting it over. Maybe I'm all wrong, and the show is awful, don't really care. I enjoy it and I'd rather just watch it and enjoy it then sperg over all the details of how it isn't perfect. Even Dexter I managed to get enjoyment out of regardless of how undeniably lovely it became until the last episode which was the worst thing I've ever seen.

I'd say because he didn't give a poo poo about his lungs because cancer. But they're illegal because if you have a beard, then the respirators won't fit on your face. Re: Scope of the show. That's one of the things they handle pretty well. That and letting the few good actors chew up their scenes. So Rome's pretty close? Carnivale in places. The Wire as far as different parts of the city each season. Boardwalk has three different cities with several factions in each. Miniseries that adapt things like War & Peace or Band of Brothers probably match the grand scope better.

Sexgun Rasputin posted:Where should someone jump into Spartacus to get to the good poo poo? I tried to watch a couple episodes of the first season and couldn't get into it. Don't jump into Spartacus. Unfortunately you'll have to put up with a few crappy episodes, but it starts getting decent around the fifth episode, "Shadow Games", and swiftly moves into becoming one of the best TV shows in its niche ever (hell, I'd even say by the sixth episode it's vaulted into that status). Blade_of_tyshalle posted:The ending was actually kind of lame compared to how much people were gushing over it. Nowhere near as amazing and satisfying as the Shield's finale. As was said, it was the only real ending possible that wrapped nearly everything up, but yeah. Compared to the rest of that season it was a huge disappointment. I'd compare the third-to-last episode to the finale of The Shield though, and I think it holds up perfectly well.

Those masks will seal around his thin goatee. Source: My work is chemistry and safety related. The 3M 6900 will seal under the chin. Walt and Mike's facial hair wouldn't break the seal because they didn't extend under the chin. The Anime Liker fucked around with this message at 09:18 on Dec 8, 2013 |

That's how you can simultaneously get multiple video games by different developers and publishers for the same franchise. Telltale's Walking Dead games have the comic book license, Survival Instinct has the TV license. Similarly for ASoIaF, AGOT: Genesis had the book license, while the Atlus RPG (and now this Telltale game) has the TV license.

Obviously everything on the BBC owns, except for Top Gear. Especially Luther. Idris Elba using his real accent is the best thing.  And yes, Peep Show and That Mitchell and Webb Look are the funniest shows ever put on TV.

Can't wait to play with her arse! Alternatively, can't wait to play the peep on folks having kinky sex, berate prostitute for having emotions and wipe jizz off of faces minigame. It's gonna be quite awesome when you gear up towards a major battle and then the screen fades to black.

I'd compare the third-to-last episode to the finale of The Shield though, and I think it holds up perfectly well. Basically, I take issue with Walter dying. I would rather he lived to spend the next several decades in a cell or on the lam, mulling over how thoroughly hated he is by everyone, how every good deed he ever did in his life is now forgotten because of Heisenberg. The rest of it is more or less fine, because the direct comparison to the Shield which I intended is how Vic also destroys the lives of everyone around him and at the end has to live for untold years with the knowledge that he's a monster who "had good intentions."

Brienne won't be the one to hang Jaime but he is likely to die, She will probably try to defend him, fail, and then the BwB will turn against Stoneheart. Source: quote:Naked and alone he stood, surrounded by enemies, with stone walls all around him pressing close. The Rock, he knew. He could feel the immense weight of it above his head. He was home. He was home and whole.
