I feel empty and hollow knowing that Breaking Bad will not be on tonight.

I'm debating on starting the series over tonight...just one episode a week for a nice, slow burn.

In a couple weeks you will probably be watching 5 episodes a night! Too addicting

I would do the same, but I have way too many shows as it is to watch on Sundays(and the rest of the week) to re-watch a series I just rewatched in the summer.

i watched seasons 1 & 2 and that was enough for me. just never really got into the flow of the show. the episodes were long and obviously i tried catching on later when the show was already in its 5th season. i spent years in chemistry research at the university level and even still with that being said it just wasn't my cup of tea.

Olive Stone bashes the series finale - spoilers follow

The famed director of "JFK" and "Platoon" focused his "Breaking Bad" critique on what he described as the "ridiculous" nature of the "fantasy violence" involved in Walter White's last stand, Forbes reports. Warning: spoilers ahead.

“There’s too much violence in our movies -- and it’s all unreal to me,” Stone said. “I don’t know if you saw the denouement [of "Breaking Bad"], I happen to not watch the series very much, but I happened to tune in and I saw the most ridiculous 15 minutes of a movie -- it would be laughed off the screen.”

“Nobody could park his car right then and there and could have a machine gun that could go off perfectly and kill all of the bad guys! It would be a joke,” Stone continued. "At least respect violence. I’m not saying don’t show violence, but show it with authenticity ... If people think that bringing a machine gun to your last meeting is a solution to a television series that’s very popular, I think they’re insane."

"Breaking Bad" co-executive producer Moira Walley-Beckett had this to say about Stone's comments:

"Right? He doesn't even watch the show. He's just trying to find an "of the moment" tie-in to sell his new book. Super Douche. ."

Still, Stone's critique jibes with some other criticism of the "Breaking Bad" finale. New Yorker TV critic Emily Nussbaum wrote that the finale felt so dreamlike that she wondered if it was a fantasy playing out in Walter White's mind. HuffPost TV critic Maureen Ryan agreed, calling the finale was "hard to buy and unsatisfying." Meanwhile, Britney Spears was just upset that Walter died in the end.

Is that an exact replica of the screen-used eyeball? It looks like a half-circle from looking at the picture, while the one in the show was perfectly round.

Not sure. Might just be the picture? Either way, it is a limited produced item for the creators/cast/crew of the show and a few extra copies were sold at various promotional events this summer.

Oliver Stone sounds really cynical.

He can take things way too seriously even a tv show that is very far from being realistic.

Which is hilarious considering most of his films are very surreal.

Don't cha just love how random people keep posting how they couldn't get into Breaking Bad and think they are better than all of us for feeling that way?

Meanwhile we're laughing at them because we know how ****ing great the show actually is and enjoy the incredible payoffs it has given us over the years.

HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!
