If thats what 2 years of writing produced, then I have no problem going on the record saying that the ending sucked.
you mounted a machine gun in the trunk of your car that would perfectly wipe out everyone with a garage door opener?
Dumb. Super Fvucking dumb.
Very "I'm an American and want a super hero ending…"
I love the way Mike died in that show. I kinda wanted to see Walt go the same way.

I think you should watch it again and see if you find any symbolism or allegory underneath the action on the surface.

I liked Mikes death scene, too.

The writers had two years notice. The final season was split in two. Everyone knew it was the last season.

As for the ending, I was satisfied. "Ozymandias" was the best episode of television I have ever seen. For me, that episode was the true series finale. The two episodes after were just to tie everything up neatly.

I think someone lost a bet on the fly episode, or they had to write it in 2 days. It was the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

The first 2 and a half seasons of Breaking Bad are not very good. So excruciatingly slow, but it gets real good after that, so I'm not surprised Better Call Saul is much the same.

not gonna lie

I bailed on breaking bad about halfway through season 3


at least jimmy and kim keep me entertained


one day I will give breaking bad a try again

sabres scored 40 more goals then last year

big leap

if they repeat with another 40 goal improvement, they will be a top 8 scoring team in the nhl

flip side, flames with giordano, brodie, hamilton and russell (for the most part) gave up 260 goals

You really should give it another go. Season 4 and on are the best IMO. I barely made it through the first 2, but everyone said how good it is and it gets better, so I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. Is it the best show ever? No, but it is very good.

It was an excellent article. It really makes you wonder why he can't write like that all the time. It was poignant, coherent, spell checked, and proofread (I only noticed three noticeable errors, none in his main piece) He did repeat a few things, just some copy pasting errors I'm thinking. A couple formatting errors with spacing weirdness between paragraphs here and there, but it is Garth after all.

Back in 1996, it was a different game of shinny.

The internet hadn't made it's debut in Buffalo yet. Hockey Twitter wasn't even a thing. Facebook, Vine, Instagram, and Snapchat were not even germs of thoughts yet.

- Garth


What? Everything after that is fine, but I'm pretty sure Buffalo had the internet in 1996. It might've been in its infancy, but I'm pretty sure we had it.


I remember my first Sabres game. We sat in the Oranges. it was Marty Biron's first game in the Aud. We played the Sens. We lost. That's when he wore "00" for a handful of games. Then they made the rule you actually had to have a number from 1-99 because of a bug in the stat tracking software that wouldn't allow them to use "00".

I went to another couple of games that year. Once we sat at center ice way the hell in the back of the Blues where they had the drop down TVs. Rob Ray got into a fight. It was the best night of my life. I don't remember the specifics of the other one.

My kids are too old to claim anymore. So I wait till last minute. Usually break even . Most I ever paid was 18.95 to the state. $5.00 to fed.

Reading you guys talk about it makes me feel weird...I rather enjoyed the "on their own" years of meth manufacturing, so I enjoyed the early seasons a lot.

I did too, and we were both very wrong so far as to this point as he has done is score a playoff goal last night.

He's been completely underwhelming otherwise.

Not a good defensemen. He doesn't suppress shot attempts. He only blocks them, way too often because the other team is always in his zone.

I was pretty high on Grigorenko, considering he was mocked in the top 5. I was pretty surprised Faksa has been so underwhelming to this point.
