02.19.12 | First season of Prison Break is one of the best seasons of TV I've ever seen. And I'm comparing that
to all the greats (HBO, AMC shows, Lost, etc. etc.) |

02.19.12 | This list is correct. |
MO
02.19.12 | yep, show fucking rules |
Funeralopolis
03.10.12 | Watched the first 5 episodes of breaking bad today, I must say it is original but I find it kind of boring I hope it is as good as ya'll say it is. |
Satellite
03.10.12 | the first season is sorta light on action but that's not really what makes it such a great show |
dimsim3478
03.10.12 | First season is really great but makes the show seem overrated. Then you get to season two. |
Insurrection
03.10.12 | yup best show ever. cant wait for season 5 |

03.10.12 | yeah show starts really slow but if you can make it past that it never lets up again. |
Vooligan
03.10.12 | Breaking Bad rules, but it's all about Game of Thrones.
Game of Thrones is just fucking amazing |
dimsim3478
03.10.12 | Just interested to see how they're going to drive the series without Ned as the central character. |

03.10.12 | Yea BB rules. The Wire is my all-time favorite but BB is quality. |

03.10.12 | breaking bad is really good, but nothign will beat twin peaks ever |
Thane
03.10.12 | twin peaks was good during season 1 and season 2 was full of boring shit. good show, but could have been soooo much better if they had more freedom (they were pretty much forced to reveal who killed Laura palmer due to drop in ratings) |
DominionMM1
03.10.12 | breaking bad is really good, but nothign will beat the sopranos ever

wabbit
03.10.12 | If game of thrones and band of brothers count they are the best. but ya bb is fucking awesome. |
Thane
03.10.12 | gonna get season 1 of game of thrones asap, heard so much good shit about that show. currently watching dexter which is not amazing but still entertaining and its pretty original |
KILL
03.10.12 | yea i know all about that but i still enjoyed it more than any show i've ever watched, and that includes sopranos |
fsharptrit0ne
03.10.12 | kill bro twin is 2nd wire dude |
Thane
03.10.12 | ya i enjoyed season 1 a lot, and ofc parts of season 2 especially the last few episodes. the middle of s2 and the way it ended ruined it for me tho |
KILL
03.10.12 | the wire was amazing too yea, i especially loved the last few seasons |
climactic
03.10.12 | "Watched the first 5 episodes of breaking bad today, I must say it is original but I find it kind of boring I hope it is as good as ya'll say it is."
season 2 is way better than season 1, season 3 is about as good as season 2, and season 4 is infinitely better than all of them |
fsharptrit0ne
03.10.12 | everytime you run through that show it gets 100x better, its insane. twin has the best soundtrack though i mean cmon |
KILL
03.10.12 | agreed, and the julee cruise album is so good |
Thane
03.10.12 | thread needs more six feet under tbh, one of the best imo
"twin has the best soundtrack though i mean cmon"
this i can definitely agree with. it also has dale cooper, one of my favorite character ever.
|
KILL
03.10.12 | six feet under how could i forget, been a while since i watched them all though |
fsharptrit0ne
03.10.12 | yea six feet is in that three way tie for 2nd with twin and sopranos. some of the best character
development in any medium of film in that show |
TMobotron
03.10.12 | Twin peaks soundtrack is insanely good. I think The Wire was my fav drama until season 4 of BB. It's been overtaken. The Wire was incredible with its multi-dimensional gripping storyline and realism, and it's probably a technically better show than BB, but Jesse and Walt just carry so much weight that it's hard to analyze the show in a similar way.
Also lol @ acting like Game of Thrones is better. It had one pretty good season. If it grows like BB does it has a shot but you can even compare them at this point. |
fsharptrit0ne
03.10.12 | bb has like 8 great characters. wire has more than 50. cant really compare the too but obv bb rules
yea. also just about done with mad men, great show, fuck the haters. yea it starts out a little on the
downside but season 4 kills big time |

DominionMM1
03.10.12 | hbo destroys everything else basically. |
iambandersnatch
03.10.12 | Game of Thrones s2 should be pretty beast. All the actors in it say it's better than s1 (which was already quite good) and if you've read the books then you know that book 2 is better than book 1 also. It's "blasphemy" to say Song Of Ice And Fire is better than LOTR at this point because it still isn't as famous and it's recent, but years from now I think a lot of people will believe that (I already do). |
fsharptrit0ne
03.10.12 | season 3 of game of thrones has the potential to be one of the best seasons of television ever. season 2 is gonna rule, not the least bit worried |
Funeralopolis
03.10.12 | I've never watched game of thrones either looks like I'm going to be busy. |
climactic
03.10.12 | where do you guys watch game of thrones? just download? |
Funeralopolis
03.10.12 | The site I always used to watch TV got shut down because of copyright bullshit so now I don't know where to get movies/shows anymore. Only watching BB because it is on Netflix. |
climactic
03.10.12 | yeah i watched bb seasons 1-3 on flix but then i had to download season 4 |
gabethepiratesquid
03.10.12 | Why are people saying Breaking Bad isn't on Netflix? That's how I watched the first few seasons. |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | "Arrested Development is the best show ever"
Definitely top 5 favourite shows of all time (probably around 2 or 3) but I'd say that Community is just as witty/funny.
gabe: Netflix choices are different in Canada from those of the US due to copyrights. |
wabbit
03.10.12 | Song of fire and ice has better writing and characters than lotr but it has about a millionth of the imagination backstory and detail. |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | That's a pretty bold statement. They have different types of humour, but they're both equally brilliant. Community has some of the most well-placed, satirical, and all-around enjoyable pop-culture references of any show I've ever seen. |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | top 3 comedies are ad, archer, and community, but tbh #2 and #3 don't come close to AD |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | to me, every episode of ad had hilarious moments where as community got incredibly stale until the cancellation rumors started circulating |
climactic
03.10.12 | archer is pretty good, the only parts that get me are his one-liners though |
fsharptrit0ne
03.10.12 | there are so many comedies better than archer and community. especially community, show is vastly overrated |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | Screw all of you. |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | what would you say are better than community and archer? if your list includes how i met your mother or big bang theory just go away and die |
Thane
03.10.12 | the office UK

seinfeld
eastbound & down |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | ?Dude, Big Bang Theory is awesome wtf? |

03.10.12 | curb seriously is the best |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | "?Dude, Big Bang Theory is awesome wtf?" wtf? you serious?
"the office UK
extras
curb
seinfeld
eastbound & down" if that was in response to me, i'd disagree with all of those. extras and curb are good but everything else is meh, especially eastbound and down. danny mcbride is incredibly obnoxious in that. honestly tho, i don't even know if community would be in my top 3, way too inconsistent. |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | but seriously... "?Dude, Big Bang Theory is awesome wtf?" wtf? you serious?
|
jdennis31
03.10.12 | yah, i have a blindspot with community, whenever i think about the funny parts it's in my top 3 but whenever i think about the whole sneeze thing i realize how cheesy some of it is. thought the zombie halloween thing was pretty funny tho. still not understanding the big bang theory... |
Thane
03.10.12 | big band theory is awful [2]
and seinfeld and the office uk is "meh"? no. i can understand why people don't like E&D, but scenes like this are so good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD1Xjdr1TbM |
xandermander
03.10.12 | Parks and Rec is a vastly underrated show. All you netflix junkies should check it out. |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | tbh, i haven't checked out office UK in like 6 years and just didn't really check it out again cause i'm not a huge fan of the office us. i do like extras and most ricky gervais shows however so i should check it out. and i like seinfeld, but i've never really met anyone that could justify it's incredibly loyal fanbase. i mean it gives me a few chuckles, but it's never been an LOL type show for me. unless i'm not getting something don't understand the appeal |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | i have a genuine laugh out loud moment in every episode of arrested development, which i have seen like 5 or 6 times all the way through. same with archer. which is why those two are definitely in my top 3, all these other shows are just way too hit or miss |
DominionMM1
03.10.12 | big bang theory is awful [3] |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | Xeno: Dude, I don't think you're aware of what they're referencing. Seriously, almost every line is a reference to something.
Lol, what does anyone have against The Big Bang Theory... That show is so consistently witty and well paced. |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | example of a witty joke from the show that would make one laugh without a laugh track to tell them it's funny? |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | not that you owe any kind of explanation... just curious to see what you think is funny from the show |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | Who cares about laugh tracks? |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | well to me the only purpose of the laugh track was to tell the retarded audience at home what they were supposed to laugh at. i'm fairly certain friends would never have made 10 seasons if people weren't told it's funny. also the fact that big bang theory has so many viewers tells me the show isn't consistenly witty or well paced. those kinds of shows don't really do well on network television in america |
tom79
03.10.12 | I hate laugh tracks. I think Seinfeld and Fawlty Towers are the only shows I actually enjoy that have
them. |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | I'm not going to cite specific examples, that would be tedious as hell and we could do that all night. The show is endlessly quotable though: "Ah gravity, thou art a heartless bitch".
Bernadette: What's George Takei doing here?
Katie Sackhoff: Howard, do you have latent homosexual tendencies?
Howard: Of course not.
George Takei: So you say, yet here I am...
I find the characters whimsical, engaging, and all-around hilarious. The running jokes are great, Raj's pathology makes for some interestingly awkward interactions where Howard translates things for him. Plus, the nerd in me appreciates all of the comic-book/video game continuity and arbitrary (but amusing as hell) debates. |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | jdennis: your reasons for saying it's bad are predicated on its accessibility? That doesn't make a lot of sense. A show doesn't have to die off after 2-3 seasons or be 'underground' to be enjoyable/intelligent. And I'm not saying laugh tracks are great... I could do without them as well, and most of the jokes are pretty obvious. Plus, I also love the references to things like the Higgs Boson Particle... Even though the science has been somewhat taken down in place of character development and idiosyncrasies, it's still remained true to its premise. |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | @gyromania that last bit was just a quip about the quality of shows we have on network television, not a belieft that i hold with certainty. and as you've somewhat reinforced, the only way i could find the show funny is if i understood all the references to science they were trying to make. Most viewers would have 0 idea what they are talkin about the majority of the show. i would consider myself to have average intelligence and Higgs Boson Particle goes right over my head. then again if you don't understand all the pop culture references in south park and community i guess you wouldn't find it as funny as some |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | No need to get pissy, Eli, I was simply saying that a lack of understanding to a show's references might send off mixed signals and make it less approachable for some. Like the Trampoline episode you referred to earlier... Do you know what they're making fun of (besides the obvious racial overtones and without looking it up on the internet)? Perhaps you do, but episodes like the Halloween one you bashed have just as much validity - they're exposing cliches and some of the worst stereotypes of zombie horror/survival movies. I don't know why you inferred that I was saying you're too stupid to get it... your immediate jump to that conclusion would suggest that you're kind of insecure, and I'm honestly not trying to be an ass. I found Community ridiculously over-the-top (and I'll concede that it is at times, but for me that's part of its charm), but once I watched some of these movies/television series they're making fun of, a lot of the jokes became more obvious and clever.
Also, I get what you're saying about Big Bang Theory being a one-trick pony, but the characters focused idiosyncrasies is what distinguishes all of them. Penny is only insufferably stupid in the first season, she actually develops very well over time, and yeah, Sheldon is wacky and eccentric, but that's just him. His wacky and odd tendencies are no more out of character or exhausted than say Gob from Arrested Development. |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | "then again if you don't understand all the pop culture references in south park and community i
guess you wouldn't find it as funny as some"
Your mention of South Park also helps reinforce my point. I know a lot of people who can't stand the
show, saying it's just, 'Ridiculous' and all over the place.' And it does seem stupid, unless you
really focus on the subliminal messaging. One of the episodes that comes to mind as a good example
is when they find out that when injecting 'concentrated' amounts of cash into the bloodstream, the
aids virus recedes. I thought that was a brilliant metaphor for corporate greed, and the jest at
Africans when finding out that money cures aids (cruel and morally shady as it was) was undeniably
hilarious and brilliant. I'm not trying to insinuate that I'm superior or know more about any of
this, I just think that context provides more enjoyability, and often times things can seem
unappealing without an understanding of the subject/references/whatever. |

Gyromania
03.10.12 | Yep, you nailed it bro! =D |
wabbit
03.10.12 | how i met your mother isn't super funny but it's still really good because it has an awesome cast and really good directing. |
jdennis31
03.10.12 | tho i understand your points, and now can actually begin to understand why people would like the show, wonarabbit's comment pretty much summarizes how i view the show as well. but like i said, maybe it just panders to an audience that i'm not a part of, but at the same time i can't imagine that many american's being able to understand a 1/4th of the references in the show |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | Agreed, I like it too. I also like Lost, and I'm sure I'll be getting judged 7 ways from Sunday for saying that, 'cause you know, it's a drama and it was a big deal (read: not underground). |
fsharptrit0ne
03.10.12 | community has an incredibly unlikable cast, save for a few characters. there are some episodes that are downright great but most are pretty mediocre.
seinfeld peep show curb spaced father ted fawlty towers. hell, twin peaks funnier moments are better than anything in community |
Auschwitz
03.10.12 | i fucking despise the big bang theory. |
Gyromania
03.10.12 | The whole construct of the show is to have unlikeable characters though - they all kind of fit and
epitomize a certain persona. Take Britta, for instance: she's a sickeningly liberal, human-rights
advocate who spews out political knowledge for which she has virtually no real grasp of and makes
sweeping generalizations. She protests for the sake of being rebellious and sticking it to the man,
she's always invoking ridiculous left-wing ideals, and she's the wild card of the group - totally
starved for attention. On top of that, she's a feminist in the worst possible way.
That's just one character, I think they all fit into completely different stereotypes and they play to
them very well, but if you don't like the characters to begin with, then it's just not for you. Also,
Twin Peaks is phenomenal, but 'funnier' than Community... what? |
fsharptrit0ne
03.11.12 | bro the man from another place kills it cmon |
HenchmanOfSanta
03.11.12 | Curb Your Enthusiasm is the funniest show ever and it's barely even a discussion. |
Gyromania
03.11.12 | I really love that show's dry sense of humour. |
fsharptrit0ne
03.11.12 | nah funniest show ever is american horror story |
Esky
03.11.12 | Who's unlikable in Community? Pierce and Britta, sure, but the others are pretty harmless.
Hopefully the mid-season hiatus helps it get back to being as great as it used to be - third season drifted a little, for me. |
climactic
03.11.12 | i never laugh harder at a show than when i watched aqua teen hunger force super stoned |

Crymsonblaze
08.26.12 | Not the godsend that people make it out to be, but compelling and well-written. Little replay value. |
Spec
08.26.12 | I can't see myself wanting to watch it again. |
Crymsonblaze
08.26.12 | Exactly. That's the biggest problem I have with it. Other than that, it's pretty decent. |
Spec
08.26.12 | Shows with dramatic twists like this never have replay value though. I just wouldn't buy the seasons. Netflix or torrent it. |
Crymsonblaze
08.26.12 | Yeah no reason to buy the seasons. |
PistolPete
08.26.12 | I don't think I've ever watched a drama/thriller tv show that I would watch again. Replay value is something suited more for those quicker 22-minute sitcoms like Family Guy or Louie (for me anyways). |
Crymsonblaze
08.26.12 | There are a lot of drama/hour long TV shows that I rewatch over and over, I just don't think BB is one of them.
It's not really a fun show to watch. It's interesting and compelling and all, but there are many shows that are more entertaining overall. For me at least. |
Insurrection
08.26.12 | yea thats why you watch them again zooted. i saw every breaking bad episode like 4 times and it was new and fresh every time |
TMobotron
08.26.12 | I've watched Breaking Bad like 4 times over now and still am not tired of it. It's the most purely entertaining TV drama to me. The dark comedy, suspense, and excitement is unparalleled. The Wire is top notch and all because it's so perfectly calculated, but on pure entertainment value BB beats it out for me (though it didn't until after ssn 4 probably).
We'll see how it finishes considering The Wire had a weak season 5. |
Crymsonblaze

"say my name."
"you're heisenberg."

NoMeansYes
08.27.12 | That was seriously the most badass moment of any tv series i've seen. The cockiness swag in that moment was through the roof. Kept expecting Walt to say "tell me you're my bitch" |
Oathbreaker
08.27.12 | it was ok up to "you're goddamn right", then it was cringe-worthy as hell |
SgtPepper
08.27.12 | Oh, yeah that intro was great. I love to see Walter's megalomania in action.
I also find it interesting how Mike has actually pointed a gun to Walter twice since the season began. Wanting to kill him for murdering Gus Fring and then for stealing the methylamine... and yet in the end, it's Walter who uses that gun to kill him. |
TMobotron
08.28.12 | It's that idea of "no more half measures" - Mike's half measures ended up getting him into that trouble and eventually killed. |
Trebor.
08.28.12 | I was so hoping Mike was going to be in it till the end |
Satellite
08.28.12 | i was getting the feeling that mike would kill himself during the episode. |
MagmaWalrus
08.29.12 | I have this feeling that next episode there's gonna be a scene where Walt has Mike's body in his car, and Jesse is in the car with Walt. It's the sort of typical messed up breaking bad scene we see so often |
Insurrection

08.29.12 | lydia is cute yea but yeah bleh actress she has like 5 different voices throughout the season so far |
Insurrection
08.29.12 | omg the rest of the seasons gonna be ridiculous with jesse finding out about mike, jesse finding out about jane, all those guys in jail who can sell them all out, hank still looking for walt and walt turning into a fucking sociopathic killing machine omfg |

Satellite
09.17.12 | my prediction is that the series ends the way it began: with walt making a standoff in the desert.
only this time it will be for real. |
Trebor.
09.17.12 | It will have a secret post credits scene of Walt Jr's first day on the job working at Denny's serving other people breakfast! |
ViralOblivion
09.17.12 | Walt jr is gonna eat lunch. Shit is gonna get real |
MO
09.17.12 | I think shit is really gonna hit the fan. Someone really important to Walt will either die or get seriously injured (did you notice in season 5 ep 1 he just seemed really pissed/out of it with the Dennys waitress). i think this could be the result of the some group of Czechs fucking shit up after him quitting. then he buys the gun to go to total war or to get revenge while dodging hank all the while being a fugitive. Or something.
who knows really but that'd be so sick |

09.18.12 | There will have to be Gus flashbacks or something. His character is too good to just disappear. |
Crymsonblaze
09.18.12 | He was a pretty well-done villain.
Gotta say though, that for a show that usually tries to be realistic, man that blown up face in S4 looked awful. |
Spec
09.18.12 | I thought that was such a good scene. He was still calm and composed even with half his face blown off. |
Spec
09.18.12 | Did you ever notice that pink teddy bear's face was like what happened to Gus. |
Captain North
01.08.13 | I hope Walt dies, or goes to prison or his cancer comes back. Cos fuck that guy so much. I hope Jesse gets a happy ending, but somehow I can't see that happening. |
ViralOblivion
01.08.13 | "Did you ever notice that pink teddy bear's face was like what happened to Gus."
The show is actually obsessed with things being injured on that side Jesse gets injured with his eye on the same side every time and Walt does too when he gets the black eye |
demigod!
01.08.13 | Damn I learn more about this show every time i watch / hear someone talk about it |
demigod!
01.08.13 | yeah I saw that last night on the episode.
it's so true, i hate Family Guy now but they hit the nail on the head there |
DamnVanne
01.08.13 | I bet Seth Macfarlane and his writers are getting really annoyed at how people are losing their shit over Breaking Bad and his show(s) contain nothing worth remembering. |
demigod!
01.08.13 | yeah but Trey and Matt arent nearly as petty or desperate as Seth
I mean the dude created The Cleveland Show |

01.08.13 | got shithammered at the bar where walt met jesse's girlfriend's dad the other night |
ViralOblivion
01.08.13 | I love that scene |
demigod!
01.08.13 | It did ring very true to me |
demigod!
01.08.13 | Also @Satellite that scene is too perfect, the climax of that ep was so powerful |
ViralOblivion
01.08.13 | Has anyone else noticed the colors of the show? Like water in season 1 wears lots of browns and greens green representing money and Jesse always wearing red and yellow in seasons 1 and 2, Hank always wears orange, Maria wears purple ( her whole house is convered in it) and by seasons 3 and 4 Walt was wearing dark blues and black and Jesse was wearing gray for recovery and then black |
demigod!
01.08.13 | Yeah I've noticed that too, couldn't have been incidental |
ViralOblivion
01.08.13 | I feel like they aren't gonna hold back with hank going after Walt I think it's just gonna be crazy shit from the get go cause everyone expects it to kinda build over a couple of episodes |
demigod!
01.08.13 | I've been wanting Hank to find out about Walt for so long, I really hope they devote a good chunk of the next season's episodes to their relationship because it's so fascinating to see them interact with each other |

gonna finally watch season 2 when my laptop gets fixed, i've had it dl'd forever |
ViralOblivion
01.08.13 | It's funny how the wire is more like the game of thrones book and by that I mean they'll drop characters in the wire for seasons and have them pop up for like one scene then disappear again and those books does the same thing because if game of thrones was like the books it wouldn't work |
Crymsonblaze
01.09.13 | It's an okay show, I'll watch the last season when it comes out on Netflix. But it's nothing I'll ever watch more than once |
anarchistfish
01.09.13 | nearing the end of series 3
just watched the one where they freak out over a fly
honestly I first saw this show on a crappy TV in a crappy south american hotel and it looked awful (obvs couldn't understand cos it was in spanish). never thought it would be this good when I watched it properly |
anarchistfish
01.09.13 | saul goodman's amazing. love this guy |
Captain North
01.10.13 | The fly episode is probably the only EP I haven't liked, which is an insane consistency for a show to have. I've honestly never watched a show as consistently good |

Captain North
01.10.13 | It really isn't that great. The second season made too many character ruining arbitrary changes (ie, not budget related). Danys arc is pretty fucked ATM, and Arya hasn't been through nearly enough shit to warrant what she later becomes. |
Crymsonblaze
01.10.13 | "game of thrones is not as good as people say it is."

ViralOblivion
01.10.13 | "The fly episode is probably the only EP I haven't liked, which is an insane consistency for a show to have. I've honestly never watched a show as consistently good"
That was one of the more important episodes of season 3, giving Walt and Jesse a chance to talk about what happened with Jane and her father |
Crymsonblaze
01.10.13 | I remember that one has a great monologue by jesse
jesse is the reason I watch the show
well and saul, but he's barely in it |
ViralOblivion
01.10.13 | That episode is just dialogue which is so RARE for TV only other show that can do those long period of just dialogue is Homeland |
SgtPepper
01.10.13 | The Fly was a very symbolically-laden episode rather than action-packed, but it was one of my favourites. If you really pay attention and catch the metaphors of the episode, you really appreciate it more.
I cannot wait for the second half, this and the return of Arrested Development are my most anticipated shows of the year. |
ViralOblivion
01.10.13 | End of Breaking Bad and Dexter are my most and arrested development of course it starts in may I'm so excited |
SgtPepper
01.10.13 | I'm actually not so into Dexter as much lately. This season was good at first but then it just starting getting really sloppy and I had no idea what was happening by the end. I'll still watch the final season but it's not something I'm drying to see.
Mad Men, Homeland, and Boardwalk Empire are the main 3 series that I watch now aside from BB. |
Captain North
01.10.13 | I thought the fly EP was mostly an over extended joke that didn't fit at all with the tone of the series. Both Jesse and Walt are at their most annoying too. Th monologue was like 10 mind at the end |

DrMaximus
01.10.13 | Shows just allow you to see the characters over a longer period of time. That's one of the reasons why I prefer shows over movies. |
Captain North
01.10.13 | In most movies you don't get time to see a character become a real person, a tv done well let's you grow with the characters, plus you get lots of stories with them instead of just one. That being said, almost no show is consistently great, whereas it's a lot harder to fuck up a two hour movie (unless your a studio exec) |
DrMaximus
01.10.13 | Captain and the Doctor know what's up. |

DrMaximus
06.09.13 | "I recently started season 4 and I'm really struggling to maintain interest. First 3 seasons are good though."
Are you kidding me? Season 4 is easily the best Breaking Bad season, so keep watching. The Gus Fring story arc is quite
possibly the greatest story arc in television history.

schoolteacher and is cured of his cancer by our lord and savior |
balazs
06.09.13 | I also loved how people wondered what's up with Hank. Does he know? How is he going to find out? There were so many theories. The writers obviously knew that and that they had to make it special in an unconventional way. |
climactic
06.09.13 | last scene of s5e8 was one of the biggest holy-shit moments in the whole show |
Drummerboy123
06.09.13 | Season 1. It's a story ark so stories go on throughout different seasons.
Just start at the beginning, you can find torrents for the tv show all over the place.
Plus there are only 5 seasons (well, 4 and a half) so you should be able to blast through it easily. |
Drummerboy123
