Summary

So this is kind of awkward. Months of waiting, weeks of intense anticipation, days of breathless excitement, and then the premier came, and it was kind of just… okay? Okay on the Breaking Bad scale happens to put it better than just about any show on the air, but still. What did we like? What didn’t we like? What did we learn, and what new questions were raised? And what did you, the fellow Breaking Bad fan have to say? This one was long, as we had a shocking amount of email to plow through, but we hope it was worth it, and look forward to seeing how this fascinating show manages to work its way through it’s fifth and final season.
