Breaking Bad Season 5 Part 1 hits its half waypoint this week with the episode “Fifty One.” In this week’s cold opening, Walt (Bryan Cranston) and Walt Jr. (RJ Mitte) are getting the old family SUV fixed. However, as father and son are about to leave the mechanic shop, Walt decides to spontaneously sell off the perfectly usable car and splurge on some souped-up vehicles for both himself... 

Breaking Bad continues it’s astonishing fifth season with this week’s episode “Hazard Pay”. And before you can ask what the title means, the writers pull a title drop during the cold opening. Mike (Jonathan Banks), disguised as a paralegal for a lawyer, visits one of his former co-workers under Gus in prison. The prisoner explains that he’s willing to stay quiet, but he needs compensation... 

Breaking Bad continues its final season this week with episode two “Madrigal”. As with last week, this episode starts off with a cold opening that puts out signals of what may come. In this case, the opening follows Peter Schuler, the head of the eponymous German company Madrigal, which was a parent company to Gus Fring’s Los Pollos Hermanos. As the episode starts, German police are... 

To say Breaking Bad is a phenomenal piece of brilliant story telling is really doing it justice. Vince Gilligan’s AMC show is one of those shining examples of how far television has come as a medium, showcasing just how far long form storytelling can go on the idiot box. This week marked the premiere episode of the show’s fifth (and final) season entitled ”Live Free or Die,” which... 

Well, we’ve made it this far so we might as well write up the final episode too. We’re down to a girls-only game with the removal of Tarzan last week, and Kim is the strong favorite to lead according to the unofficial poll we ran following last week’s episode. In order to do that, she really needs to take Alicia and Christina to the final two, but if she has any honor to herself she would take... 

I’ve been saying for weeks now that this is a bit of a dud as a season and several of you have agreed with that in the comments. It would appear we aren’t alone in that assessment. Do you know how you can tell that the producers don’t think it’s a very strong season? It’s easy – this is the last week of the season. Tonight is the penultimate episode and Sunday brings the finale. Meanwhile,... 

Last week the women finally got rid of Troyzan, leaving only one guy and one contender for a “Tarzan” themed nickname in the game. Will the domineering women get rid of the last guy this week? Don’t expect it – as annoying as he is (has anyone really forgotten the poop-pants incident?), Tarzan is the kind of player you take with you as far as you can, preferably right up to the jury, because... 

The marketing for this week’s episode has tried its best to make it look like something interesting will happen and it won’t just be a predictable installment like we’re pretty much destined for with the remaining episodes. I don’t believe it. It might be fun to see Kat come out of her shell a little more like the commercials have advertised, but the few episodes where that’s happened has... 

Are you joining us for another week or joining us for the first time? I find it fascinating that the interest surrounding Survivor recaps tends to be low at the beginning of seasons but rises as the season progresses. If you haven’t been keeping up with the season, we’ve had men versus women, the odd villainy of a player hated by both genders, the removal of both the gender barrier and said villain... 

Welcome back to another installment of one of the most boring, predictable seasons of Survivor so far. Last week the guys finally clued in that the women weren’t honoring their new deals and were staying true to the original gender division. Unfortunately, a couple of the guys have continued to let themselves be played, voting alongside the women. Will they wake up this week or is it too late for...
