Lindelof is mostly garbage, but maybe he'll have more luck on the small screen than he did on the big screen. |

He did one decent thing before he died, but it was as much out of vengeance than heroism. His family was utterly destroyed and Jesse was a broken shell. He didn't die a hero. He died surrounded by meth, the only thing he had left in the end. |

I agree. The ending becomes more and more unsatisfying to me as get further away from it. |

I was totally happy with the ending to BB. What I hated was the far-too-long arc of Jessie's nihilistic addict phase, throwing money around at his parties, that stuff just became so tedious. The last 2-3 seasons of Lost were an abomination. |

I didn't feel like anything was out of character. My only complaint was that The machine gun bit was a little contrived, but then again the show had similar contrived bits. After hank died, the show was all about punishing Walter. The aftermath, viewed over the last episodes, was devastating. If the last episode ends on a slightly higher note, I don't have a problem with that. The story is essentially over once he realizes why he really did the things he did. After that, he wouldn't act the same way he did up to that point. He deserved a small redemption I think (though it was far too little too late). |

Why do they do this with Stephen King books? These books have a clear ending/resolution. This will suck just like Under the Dome sucked. |

It's crazy how bad under the dome was. It's like it was intended as a parody of crappy network TV. |

If it is half as good as the Leftovers I am on board. The butthurt over the LOST ending is one of the most tired things on the internet. Totally agree. I'm a big Lindelof fan. I think this is outstanding news. I hope he commits. I'd love to see Watchmen as an HBO series. If they leave the pirate thing off, I'm in. I didn't get the "deeper" story from it at all when I read the book. |

I don't hate it, I just hate the introduction of aliens and then suddenly that's why everything's happening. I don't know why, it just felt like too much of a Tommyknockers pseudo-sequel or something, just derivative of his own work. |

Heisenberg died in New Hampshire. All that was left was Walter White. And Walter White cares about Jesse. He isn't jealous or vengeful. They flubbed that key element. Which is tragic because through the penultimate episode, they nailed it. |

The Middle is calling it a wrap after this coming season. While it had zero buzz and even less of a hip factor it's been an underappreciated, solid family sitcom throughout its run. |

Quote: Original “Karate Kid” Gets A Sequel Series Original “The Karate Kid” stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka are reuniting on “Cobra Kai,” a sequel series to the classic films being developed for YouTube Red. The ten-episode, half-hour series is set thirty years after the events of the 1984 film. A down-and-out Johnny Lawrence (Zabka) seeks redemption by reopening the Cobra Kai karate dojo. This reignites his rivalry with the successful Daniel LaRusso (Macchio), who has been struggling to maintain a life balance without the guidance of his late mentor Mr. Miyagi. “Hot Tub Time Machine” scribe Josh Heald and “Harold & Kumar” creators Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg will pen and executive produce the series which is being made by Sony Pictures Television Studios and Overbrook Entertainment. Hurwitz and Schlossberg will direct much of the series while James Lassiter and Caleeb Pinkett will also executive produce. Source: The Live Feed I'd watch that shit. |
