I'm surprised there are still people that haven't watched Breaking Bad.

It's Hal from Malcolm in the Middle making meth. What is there to not love about the premise alone.

It's still never been shown past series 2 in the UK (and that was hidden away on a late night FX slot), it's completely unknown to a lot of people. Shame as it's the best TV show ever IMO, heaven knows why UK networks have ignored it when it's so rightly lauded everywhere else.

Wow. New Walking Dead was an action packed gorefest. More of this please, possibly the best episode yet!

Anyone else noticed that the quality of breaking bad is directly proportionate to the number of bald characters that there are on the show?

Am I seriously the only one that finds Walking Dead (along with zombies in general) boring as fuck?

Also, NEX DEXTER! :D :D
If I like it, It's probably awful.

Clutch, Kamelot and The Ocean for BOA 2014 pls!

Probably because it's pretty violent, but also the whole thing revolves around lots of drugs, which seems to be pretty much the only thing that seems taboo for british censors and british TV channels.

so it's TWD time of the year so im going to have to spend the better part of the next 3 months avoiding what people say about it until i see it on FX. however, Kirkman has said they will keep pretty much everything that happens to Michonne into the tv series, so im getting mentally psyched to be mentally disturbed.
