I am so ready. We have re-watched the last 8 or 10 episodes, saving the last two for tonight to watch before the real shebang starts at 9.

 

Stoked, and glad to see they aren't going to drag this thing out several seasons. 

 

It's bittersweet, I wish this was a show that could last for 10 seasons, but given that its over the period of 2 years and given everything thats happened, its the right length.  Theres only one possible final outcome (IMO) and I can't wait to see how it happens.

It's always a shame when a really good show overstays its welcome. They're doing this one perfectly. Once the story is told, it's told. No need to drag it out. Go out on top. Mad Men is hitting it just right, I think, with the last season being next year.

Hmm, gonna be quite a drop off a year from now. Mad Men and BB are two of the best shows on TV. I wonder if AMC has anything lined up; WD is fun to watch and all, but it's not in the same league as those two. I also heard The Killing was good last season, but they lost me mid-way through season one on that one.

I feel the same.  BB and Mad Men both leaving within the next year sucks, but both are timing it right. TWD is good, but not on this level at all. GoT is great, but also not at this level, yet.  

 

Can't wait for tonight. Still torn on whether I think Walt lives or dies, but will be nice to see how it all unfolds. I think we're going to see Walt go on the run rather quickly, and come back to protect I would assume his family before being taken down one way or another. Also interested to see how that ricin in the electric outlet plays out...I'm thinking it kills a family member, just not sure which one.

It's definitely quality over quantity. I'm very pleased and I know its going to be an emotional roller coaster.  I hope AMC can find the next big thing.  I have no interest in Low Winter Sun btw.

 

And while we're predicting Walt's fate, I'm going on record to say he's done for.

    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.    
    • Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
