I may be the only one, but IMO Marie keeps get hotter and Skyler keeps getting fatter and uglier. In Season One I thought Skyler was the hotter of the two, in this last episode Marie is way sexier.

I am familiar with both Klosterman's Grantland piece and Jason Whitlock's months-long mental breakdown over it on Twitter.

I am firmly in the camp of The Wire being the pinnacle of fictional television achievement (the nonfiction pinnacle is Iron Chef), but not for any of the off-base reasons that Klosterman mentions. I'm in the camp because I can't make a better argument for another drama being #1 than I can an argument for The Wire. If Breaking Bad were to surpass The Wire then I would readily acknowledge it, because I love BB. I don't see BB breaking out of the the clump of dramas that falls right under The Wire (a clump that also consists of Deadwood, Mad Men, and The Sopranos).

I also distinguish between best and favorite. I actually would say that I enjoy watching Breaking Bad more than I do The Wire.

This is fun. Probably the last we'll ever hear from Giancarlo Esposito...

I'm willing to bet that we get Gus in a cold-open flashback next season.

Giancarlo Esposito has already signed on to play Barak Obama

Gilligan said as much in one of the interviews posted.

He'll be back.

"Holy ****!"

I think we all thought that. For some reason I could see Gus living trough that.

I hope so. He is a great actor and hope to see him in a lot more roles.

After seeing how funny Brian Cranston was in Malcom in the middle and to see his range of acting in this show. I will watch anything with him in it. He's one of the best actors of this generation. And Aaron Paul I'll watch anytime too. They are perfect in this show.

I remember when my wife pointed out that he was the "Malcolm in the Middle" dad. My jaw dropped. He really was hilarious on that show. What a departure this show is. Seems like great comedic actors can flip the switch and be great dramatic actors. Doesn't necessarily work the other way, though.

Giancarlo Esposito has been in a dickton of roles since the late 80's.

Wrong.

He's holed up recovering from his wounds, right?
