    Like Bodie, for instance. He killed Wallace. But over time you get to empathise with him, and you feel sad when he dies eventually, even though he killed that innocent kid when he was just a kid.

    I think the Wire is all about how almost everyone is implicated in some ways by corruption.


    Touché. I hadn't considered Bodie at all. Then again, Bodie's death really saddened me even though I kept reminding myself of what he did to Wallace (but it's all in the game, as Omar would say), on the other hand I really doubt I'd feel any sadness over Walt's passing (if it happens) because he's not a victim of the circumstances, nor did he do what he did out of loyalty and principle.

    ... i find him blaming his family  to justify the messed up shit he does... it's easy to do crazy things when you pretend to be a martyr in his case sacrificing himself to provide for his family, truth is, he's sacrificing them for his selfish power trip.. i might be projecting a bit lol.. but i get it when you have to sympathize with him on some level, it's because he's so damn pitiful...


    I think when he starts cooking he does do it out of selflessness for his family. But that changes.

    I think he did. You can say it wasn't exclusively for his family, but that impulse to leave something behind, especially with a daughter on its way, was part of his initial motive.

    In the beginning I thought he was pathetic. Sure, life dealt him a shitty hand, but sometimes there are characters whom you just can't empathize with. The Gray Matter deal made me realize that he wasn't just a poor guy who was doing it for his family. He WANTED that.

    I think with a lot of these great anti-hero or villain characters in fiction, the writing is so brilliant or the acting so magnetic that you still find yourself attracted to them despite anything. Not necessarily liking or approving of what they do or who they are, but utterly fascinated by the actual on screen presence.

    You don't have to empathise with Hannibal Lector or Anton Chigurh to be transfixed by them on screen. I think trying or failing to empathise with them is a part of the experience. It allows us to connect with ourself, air out the psych, recalibrate our conscience, confirm our humanity. Sometimes being horrified or indulging our darker side in a controlled environment is cathartic. Nothing is taboo is the mindspace. Thought suppression is the dangerous thing. Thought suppressing is what makes our thoughts fester into guilt, obsession and darker appetites.

    Yeah I think it was really all about going out with a bang. He thought he was going to die soon so why keep being a boring Chemistry teacher? Why not do something crazy with the last few months of his life? The family thing was just a way to justify it to himself.

    But I did sympathise with him at first, that scene when he caused that explosion in Tuco's office was just awesome, it was all about brains over brawl, even the hardcore drug lord was scared shitless of him after that incident.


    As the seasons went on it was clear that he didn't really love his family, his cooking was really just an excuse to escape from his mundane family life. But yeah I agree with Berbs, the only character I had any sympathy for towards the end was Jesse even though he was such a dumbass earlier on.

    I am so pumped for it. Bursting to know what happens after that breathtaking cliffhanger. That inevitable conclusive moment that I guess most fans had been waiting for throughout the series. I have no clue how the storyline can survive that and go on for another two seasons. Gonna be pleasantly surprised I hope.

    The only one missing from that list is Breaking Bad, and that is because I hadn't started watching it's awesomeness before making this list.

    Anyone know when the final 8 episodes will be broadcast in America?

    What the... seriously? I didn't even know there were another 8 episodes coming. I thought I'd seen the end. I thought I had watched an actual ending. I had already gotten over the fact that there would be no more. Shiiiiit.... that means... omg

    For those who have seen Breaking Bad season 5 episode 8 (don't you dare click it billy):

    Am I the only one who thought that scene with Hank on the toilet was the end of Breaking Bad? I thought it was all over the moment he read W.W., like the writers had left the rest up to the viewers imagination. Walt and Jesse were out, the Whites had a nice family moment like it was all gonna be ok and all that happily ever after jazz, then Hank gets the final clue as a final twist like 'You honestly thought he was gonna get away with it? Nu-uh.' The End.

    Ishina,

    Let's say we had no clue that the final season was 16 eps split in two. It would have been a nice ending and I would have been actually satisfied. However, there is one thing: the flash-forward during the first few minutes of S05E01, where we see Walt (supposedly) on the run, lonely, and purchasing a big-ass gun for goat knows what reason. THAT still needs to be addressed, I think.

    Shows I'm pumped about:

    Boardwalk Empire, 3rd season (I know it's started already, but I haven't gotten around to watching the first two eps.
    30 Rock, 7th and final season (I'm going to miss it so much)
    American Horror Story, 2nd season (it better be as good as the first)
    Homeland, 2nd season
    Community, 4th season (not sure about that one, I didn't like the previous season, and they fired Harmon, so...)
    Spartacus, last seaon (whyyyyyyyyyyyy are they ending it Cry )

    Stuff I'm feeling "meh" about

    Dexter: I'm done with the show but I guess I'll still watch, eventually.
    Parks and Rec: Last season wasn't very good, and judging from the first ep of the 5th... yawn.

    There's of course Mad Men, Game of Thrones, True Blood, Breaking Bad, but they're so far into the future I can't really get excited about them yet.

    Since it's new season time, I just watched the new episodes of South Park, Modern Family, the Big Bang theory, The Middle and Law and Order SVU. Modern Family's opening was the best. The others were quite mehish, even for season openers, nothing too exciting. Let's hope Family Guy and the Simpsons are less underwhelming.
