Breaking Bad

Vince Gilligan wanted Bryan Cranston after directing him in an episode of The X-Files called "Drive", where Cranston portrayed a despicable racist who had Mulder at gunpoint in a car.

He was funny as heck in that.

After seeing the series 3 times through and watching half of the Better Call Saul episodes, I think my fandom is slightly declining. I will still watch EVERY Cranston film that comes out and likely most of the ones Jesse puts out "yes... he doesn't get a real name".

The 2014 version stands on its own and I don't think you'll miss too much by jumping. I only saw the final season and the short 2014 season, so I don't know what's missed in between. I need to binge that one also.

...well, the 2014 version of 24 kicked some ass.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

As soon as I figure out a way to pirate Netflix, I'm bingeing.

You have no idea what my budget is like. I won't go into it.

But when I have a spare $9 a month, I'll probably subscribe.

I bet I could do the free trial and watch the entire runof 24. I watched all of Dexter in a week.

I've been watching episodes of Metastasis and I'm flabbergasted. Why does this exist? Why couldn't Spanish speaking audiences watch the original with Spanish subtitles? I wonder if this made any money. It's a shot for shot remake with not so great actors, no so great music, not so great effects. It's just bizarre. It's literally the entire show, beginning to end. I don't get it.

Good question. I Googled it and found nothing, other than they air it in a telenovela style and the whole series aired in less than a year.

I think it may have something to do with trade agreements, or a lack of, or some other red tape. I think the Colombian govt may limit what's shown in regards to outside programming.

I only saw about a half hour of it andit was too strange. Felt almost sacrilegious.
