Slave 2 the DVR - Fall 2012

What I'm Watching Right Now:

Once Upon A Time / The Good Wife

ER vs. the losties. Right now OUAT is winning, The Good Wife is an excellent show, but they are not a Sunday night show. I think they would do well on Thursday in leadoff. Sunday

Homeland

Just WOW! This is THE fall show of 2012.  Just killing it....

The Walking Dead

Have never spent much time with comic books, but this show is pretty wild. Enjoying the suspense of who survives week to week.

What's becoming baggage:

Boardwalk Empire

This show is having a misrable season. Had a fantastic Season 2.The show misses Jimmy D, but Nucky, Margaret and the villian can't hold my attention. Thank you writers for killing his mistress.

The Vampire Diaries

Can't wrap my head around Elena as a vampire. Pretty much ruins the show for me.  Even if she comes back, i'm not sure I will come back. UPDATE, I have since made my departure from this show.

What I'm Excited 4:

Game of Thrones

Southland

Or as my wife and I like to cal it, Southwoodland. Great cop show in Los Angeles.

If you follow me on Twitter, you know my passion 4 Walter White & Jesse Pinkman. The meth cooking/dealing duo season has ended. Come back here 4 my season recap of the last 8 episodes.. I'm such a #BB nerd, I did a S1 & S2 rewatch 2 prepare 4 the final episodes.

Hope 2 see your comments about the best show in YOUR DVR. 

Poem #1

PREFACE

This poem was written a long time ago for the Pearl Jam fan club message board before message boards and websites became insanely popular.  It was true then and it is true now.  It was never published until 2012.

CLARIFICATION 

My favorite Nirvana CD is Unplugged. Alternative radio stations across the USA killed Nirvana. It saddens me that his gift was ruined by the people he made it for. I'm guilty. Your guilty. However, Nirvana Unplugged was a transcending concert, CD and TV event. 

Pearl Jam seized the moment.  They are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet, but I'm sure they'll be in Cleveland one day.  

This poem is called.....

A POEM FOR THE BOARD

Kurt Cobain is dead

Eddie Vedder is alive

Nirvana still lives

Pearl Jam still breathes

Cobain wanted to die

Vedder wanted to live

Cobain never thought

Vedder always thinks

Nirvana were the Royal Kings

Pearl Jam were the Charming Prince

Nirvana was overplayed

Pearl Jam was underplayed

Nevermind was one of the best

Ten was one of the greatest

Nirvana is like The Doors

Pearl Jam is like The Who

What did you think #jewfrollowers? Did you get it? It's a poem.... 

Breaking Bad Recap - Buyout

Buyout
S5 Ep 6 #52
10 episodes to go...

I thought last week was an excellent episode. Well crafted & thought out. Some recapper's did not like the episode. The guy from the Vulture hated it.

The 1st 8 episodes of S5 seem to be a lot of time wasting. There are only 11 episodes to go & things should ramp up very soon.

Buyout is the name of the 52nd episode of BB.

Let's dig in to a pivotal episode.

Todd is a sore subject for #TeamMeth & wants to stay in on the game. Jesse is of course distraught over the kid's death & is out voted by Walt & Mike.

Gomez is tailing Mike. If you have been following me, I believe Gomez is working on the inside. This is the 1st scene in which the other side of the argument is displayed. I may be wrong. Mike wants out & recruits a depressed Jesse to sell the Methylamine they just stole for 5 mil a piece. Obviously WW is pissed because he is living his dream as a drug kingpin.

How this plays out could finally give us some inside to the first scene of Season 5 at Denny's.

The next 2 scenes finally begin to move the entire story forward.

We meet a man named Deckland. He is a buyer for the kingpin out of PHX. He wants the "Blue" or "Fring's Blue" off the streets. No deal is done without the consent to sell the whole stuff. Deckland is a very familiar looking actor from another show.

Then we see a scene at the White's residence with Jesse trying to convince Walt to sell his share. "Grey Matter" is brought back into the fold and the long time viewers finally get some insight into what went down.

Then we get an awkward, but time wasting dinner scene with Jesse
"the nephew" Walt & Sky. Jesse play's the awkwardness to a tee. 

The episode ends with Walt "burning" himself out of a jam & saving his Kingpin status for another day as he mutters, "Everybody Wins."

Now on to the weekly 8 questions:

1. What was the reason Walt left Grey Matter?
2. What is the empire business?
3. Is Todd dealt with?
4. Did Skyler reveal too much to Marie?
5. Is Deckland the person out to kill Walt at the beginning of the season?
6. How long until Hank connects the dots?
7. Can everyone win in this game?
8. Can Breaking Bad finish on top?

Overall, a solid episode. Buyout moved the plot forward. From here on out, we should be on a wild ride.
I think AMC messed up. They should not have spaced Season 5 out so long. In the end it won't 'matter, but it took us 6 episodes to finally get the momentum towards the end game for Walter White aka Heizenbeg.

Until next week #jewfromovement..

Breaking Bad Recap - Dead Freight

Dead Freight

S5 Ep5 #51 of the series

11 episodes to go

I owe everyone an apology. I have been MIA 4 2 weeks. I'm sorry.

The trials & tribulation of trying to jump in the TV recap world was not well thought out. In fact, staring this blog was thought about, but what's scary to think about is there no ending in sight. 

The movement has begun & you have plenty of time to get on board. 

Now on to Breaking Bad..

Hazard Pay & Fifty One were 2 different episodes. 

Hazard Pay moved "Team Meth" forward.

Fifty One moved WW's domestic life forward.

Dead Freight was just insane.

Robbing a train? Are u kidding me. 

Bugging Hank's office? Crazy.

Trusting Lydia? I go with Mike.

Todd? Wow! Did not see that coming.

Overall the finest hour of Season 5. 

Now on to the 8 questions:

1. Should Anna Gunn win an Emmy?

2. How long until Hank finds the bugs?

3. Is Todd a mental midget? 

4. Is Flynn on death row? 

5. Is Season 5 part A too much filler? 

6. When will the cancer return? 

7. How important is Marie to the world of BB?

8. Can Breaking Bad finish on top?

Feel free to comment #jewfrollowers..

Until next week #jewfromovement..

Breaking Bad Recap - Hazard Pay

Hazard Pay
Ep #50 S5 Ep 3
13 episodes to go...

Breaking Bad Recap - Madrigal

Madrigal
Ep #49 S5 Ep2
Only 14 episodes to go...

Breaking Bad is an outlet to what's lurking out there. 

Madrigal Elektromotoren is just that. A company in Germany, lurking outside the American meth trade. 

Are u f'ing serious? That opening was weird & intense. Mr. Shuler killed himself before we got to know him.  Los Pollos Hermanos = Madrigal Elektromotoren. Mr. Shuler & Gus Fring, buds & deceased. 

July is a weird month. Maybe that is why BB succeeds? Caters to a crowd starving for some good television. 

Now back to Big Brother featuring Walter White & Jesse Pinkman. I don't think Walt would spend so much time w Jesse. Cleaning up his drugged out house. Looking for the Ricin cig. Just can't see that. Elaborate plan, but the ricin is still lurking. 

2 episodes in & so far this is the best scene. Mike being questioned by the dynamic duo of Hank/Gomez. Mike knows exactly what to say & how to react. Mike the man, at his absolute best. 

Madrigal's pace was swift & gave Jonathan Banks a script of a lifetime. 

We were introduced to Lydia in the 49th episode. Lydia knows more than we do. She knows all the players & how the game works. On edge & capable of anything, she has Chow (S3 finale) killed. Mike calms her down & decides to join #TeamMeth in an unsurprising fashion. 

Another excellent moment was ASAC George Merket speech. "Right under my nose," about Gus. Not sure how much we will see of George because he has to take the fall for the Fring fallout.

Madrigal ends with a creepy moment between Skyler & Walt. Walt speaks a good line, "no better reason then family."

Now to the weekly 8 questions:

Where is Marie? (No show for 2 straight episodes)
How did Mike's cop career in Philly end?
How much & Who, does Lydia know? 
Did you buy the Ricin scene?
Is Hank thinking about who is right under his nose? Walt? Gomez? George?
How much money will #TeamMeth make?
Is there a better moral reason then family? 
Can Breaking Bad finish on top?

Until next week #Jewfromovement ..

On Blast #1...

This goes out to @getnickwright

Man o Man are you a big fool. Leaving KC for bigger cow pies. Not a smart move.

2 years in drive time and the man thinks he is G-D's gift to Sports Talk Radio.

I put my over/under of 3.5years when he will make his return to KC.

Why would you leave right before #KC hosted an All Star game??

Kietzman made a statement and you let your hometown without a fight.

Just think how much you could have changed that conversation?

#Chiefs have a good nucleus. Pioli could be man handled if they are not competitive.

You had a chance to be a part of this stuff & yet u blew it. For what?

More Money? Maybe..

Better time slot? Heck no..

Bigger market? Of crap...

Now #KC is left with "The Big Show"?

How dumb do they think we are?

@getnickwright , you have been officially put on blast.

Thank you #jewfromovement
