There is a reason Cranston won Best Actor 3 years in a row (and was robbed last year) but hopefully he will redeem himself this year

Yeah stick with it. Its got some great moments and character evolution. I really didn't like season 1, but season 2 hooked me , but because the first season is so short it wasn't too bad. Even now, I still can't stand Skylar and Hank annoys the **** out of me. .

djgeneral · 06-30-2013, 06:04 PM

Skylar and Hank are awesome lol

BladeRunner2007 · 06-30-2013, 07:19 PM

Hank is my favorite charachter along with Walt of course.

Yes, when you get up to Season 3 and 4, you can thank us.

Love the show beyond belief but S3 is the weakest

I feel Season 3 is the one where the show really hits it's stride, the writing and tone hit the right consistency between dark comedy and serious drama. Plus I feel it really breaks through a barrier that allows them to do interesting stuff with the characters. I'll admit

[Show spoiler]

but I feel Season 3 is better as a whole where Season 2 has the better moments.

djgeneral · 06-30-2013, 08:19 PM

Season 3 is far from the weakest. Are you kidding me? It has some of the best individual moments of the series and one of the best episodes (The Fly)

Hank is not the kind of guy I would hang out with in real life, but he is an awesome character and super valuable to the story.

He just annoys me. I can't get invested in his personal life or any of his PTSD BS from his time in El Paso. I only care about him so far as he effects Walt which is the only reason I watch this show. If I didn't like Walts decent into the shit I wouldn't even be watching the show.

Given, I haven't watched Homeland yet, but if they weren't gonna give it to Cranston, couldn't it at least go to Jon Hamm, because he really, really deserves one.

I think I'm in the minority that thinks 4 is one of the weaker seasons. Granted it still has some amazing episodes (Problem Dog, Crawl Space, Hermanos) but as a whole I think 2&3 are better.

I just watched The Fly there now,I near had tears streaming down my face,hilarious.

Cook · 07-01-2013, 08:23 PM

Holy shit!!! I just saw the end of Season 3's "Half Measure"!

[Show spoiler]

Season 3 has been fantastic all around, and I now like both Hank and Skylar.

hahah. It's an episode that people either LOVE or hate. I thought it was fantastic.

Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston alone together for 45 minutes? epic. Love the "bottle" episode.

Same, even though I've seen it many times now, my heart always races at that part and just sit there stunned as the credits roll.

You'll probably end up hating her, I still feel like I'm one of the few people who actually likes Skylar.

Well, I wanted her to die up until season 3. If she reverts back to her annoying whiney *****y self then I'm not gonna be happy.

Most misunderstood character in the history of television.
