    Honestly don't see what's so good about this show.

    Decent show but nothing to get a boner over.

    How much have you watched? The show starts a little slow but consistently gets more interesting as it goes. Not everyone is going to like the same thing though. I hate a lot of **** that is considered popular or good.

    That's been a pretty common motif. Punch to start, punch to end, life in between. I assume it's done to kind of show the contrast of the crazy drugdealing side and the family side. Family life is boring and monotonous but the drugdealing side is fun.

    Also someone needs to just kill Jesse. God damn homeboy is depressing.

    Never understood the whole "it gets slow" thing. It can't just be all action all the time. Has to be character development. One of the best episodes of the entire series was the one where Walt and Jesse were trying to kill the fly.

    Hell no, it was not. Lot of subtle things happening. The episodes with extended Walt/Jesse scenes are the heart of the show.

    I'm not going to spell it all out, but a couple things.

    It's a metaphor on Walt's irrational thinking throughout the series. He shows about the most remorse he ever has and comes pretty darn close to spilling the beans to Jesse on something very important. Not to mention the symbolism the fly itself carries.

    I guess it's personal preference, but it's a well-written episode in one of the best shows to ever grace the television.

    Only way out I can see for Jesse is him killing Walt and then himself. I just think it will happen. I don't expect any of Walt's family to survive.

    I don't think they'll kill off Jesse because he's the fan favorite, btu no way does Walt go until the end. If they do that they're robbing the show of greatness. There is no character close to as good as Walt on the show. What I find interesting about the show is so many of the cast members on that show come from a comedy background. Cranston, Paul, Odenkirk, Norris, and even Banks have a healthy comedy background.

    Somehow Jesse will survive. He's now the moral center of the show. But Walt is still lying to him and it looks like he's going to get the fate he deserves.

    No way they take Walt out until close to the end.

    I'm sure that
    Spoiler: 
    flash forward scene from the other night is going to pick back up on the finale, maybe the tail end of the penultimate episode.

    I think there are/have been several great characters, and the acting is outstanding. Cranston is in an entire league to himself, but Paul, Banks and lately Norris have all been really strong. Anna Gunn had a great first half of season 5 too.
