Two pages and no J + K = S yet? You idiots are slacking and can't see all the clues right in your face. Just look at the shadow and cigarettes. Cmon.

Hahaha I thought about it… but didn’t wanna confuse the OP and open that can of worms so I refrained

Yep. I didn't care for the Chuck storyline much.

Couldn’t wait for something to happen to end that.

Would love to see a spin of.

For me it really took off after the story arc with his brother came to its conclusion. After that it was absolutely great.

That's the interesting thing about shows and having something for everyone. My favorite parts of the story were with his brother and his relationship with Kim Wexler. I really didn't care that much about the cartel part.

Chuck continued to show what a deranged POS he was towards his brother.

I never understood what caused them to treat him so badly other than they were just two spoiled brats on a rampage.


wut?

The dynamic with Chuck was laid out pretty clearly.

Oops. I meant Howard. Chuck was an ahole. Howard, however, did not do anything to Jimmy or Kim and actually tried to help them both.

IMO, BCS had better high points than breaking bad. But BCS had a lot more dud episodes

BCS is better than BB in almost every way, outside of the fact that there would not be a BCS without BB. So it definitely owes the original show that much. But it is a better overall show IMO

shew wee I gotta strongly disagree there. Both shows are great of course but I jsut can't see saying BCS is definitively better. And honestly the pacing of them are at such polar opposite extremes it's almost not even fair to comapr ethem. BB is breakneck throughout almost the entirety fo the series. Constant action, conflict, drama, etc all throughout. BCS is a slooooooooow burn and that's putting it nicely. Dont' get me wrong that's not an insult or an admonishment necessarily, since BCS does it well. But hell it feels like you could go 2-3 episoes in a row where barely ANYTHING happens. And I get that BCS is very character driven, so that's kind of part of what you get with it. But still. Very, very different than BB.

Also I don't think it's "fair" (can't think of a better word at teh moment) to criticize the last season of BB as a comparison point to BCS when there were plenty of complaints about the tail end of BCS as well.
