I'm thinking the 5th season will be dealing with Walt and the "German Company" ( CIA ) that was funding Gus. I'm thinking things are going to get really crazy, but can't wait to have this season launch.

Still one of my favorite scenes -

'Breaking Bad's final season to be split in two, says Bryan Cranston

Bryan Cranston has confirmed that the final season of Breaking Bad will be split into two parts.

AMC is preparing to wrap the journey of Cranston's character Walter White in the show's fifth and final season with 16 new episodes.

Cranston revealed to Entertainment Weekly: "We're splitting it. We're going to shoot the first eight, then take a four-month production break, then the rest will air next year."

On the fifth season's opener, the actor revealed that it will pick up "right where [they] left off".

"We're cleaning up the pieces from last season's huge ordeal where Gus Fring was forced to meet his maker," Cranston added. "It's not as easy as Walter thought.

"And as we've discovered over the years, you don't really know who Walter White is. I'm still discovering who he is and I'm trying to allow myself to be open to him going darker and darker.

"There's physical danger to himself and his family, plus there's the emotional danger due to his anger and hubris. It's about the evil that men do and where that takes him."

Cranston's co-star Aaron Paul recently revealed that Breaking Bad will return for its fifth season in July on AMC.

A really great start to the season, the beginning of the episode had me a little confused at first, but then I realised what it was. haha

Did anyone else think Ted Beneke was dead? I could have sworn he snapped his neck last season when he fell? haha

we were meant to think he died last season, but apparently he slipped into a coma and survived (by 'an act of god' as saul put it in this episode)

I had a hunch he wasn't dead, didn't think they'll write him out that abrupt

Nonetheless, that was a great start to the season. The whole build up with the magnets was tense, it also had it's funny moments.

Thoughts on this weeks episode?

Bit slow paced but it seems Mike has to do all the cleaning up after Gus' death.

Mike has always been one of my favourites on the show. The scene with Him, Hank and Gomez in the DEA office when Mike put his hands on the table was just awesome.

Also, Walt Jr skipped breakfast?!?!

I never watched any of the seasons of Breaking Bad but had finally heard from one to many people I really needed to check it out. So last Sunday me and my wife started watching the series at Season 01.

Currently 4 episodes into Season 02, and damn what a great, great show. Easily one of the best shows ever made as far as "basic" cable television, if not the best. I imagine we will be fully caught up within a month or so. If it was up to me would be sooner than that, but have a whole lot going on the next few weekends like a System Of A Down concert next weekend and a wedding the following weekend, or else I would say we would fully be caught up within 2 weeks. :laugh: But really like it that much. Plan is to get through Season 02 this weekend.

DirtyLarry, it is indeed an excellent show! There are lots of edge-of-the-seat story arcs coming in the coming episodes and seasons!

The fifth (and final) season has started very well, although I'm not sure how I feel about the season being split into two sections...

the Idea to cook in tented houses as pest fumigators is nothing I would have ever guessed, I always assumed they'd be a basement in the car wash or something for them to cook in

The scene in the music shop made me laugh so much with badger and skinny pete, and I also found this comic on the Breaking Bad Facebook page which is pretty funny if you watch the show.

Currently on Episode 8 of Season 03.

Hank killed the one twin, is in the hospital now.

We are seriously addicted. It is pretty much my favorite TV show ever. No exaggeration about that. It is brilliant in all regards.

So Season 05 is the definite last season? I thought I had maybe heard that, but just read it.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
