If you don't want to hear details, especially about last night's season finale of Breaking Bad, turn away from this website now. But I consider it fair game to talk in detail about TV shows once they've been televised - especially if they're doing interesting enough work to be saluted for it. I was blown away by the season ender of Breaking Bad. For its season finale, it set up a high-stakes showdown, with the cold-blooded drug kingpin Gus on one side, and the newly reconciled Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), former partners in Gus's high- tech meth lab, on the other. Each side wanted the other dead, but both sides were on guard. In last week's episode, Jesse successfully lured Gus to a local hospital, and Walter's plan was to plant and ignite a bomb under Gus's car. But Gus, intuitively, left the car in the parking lot, and found another ride home. That left Walter, in the opening minute of the season finale, to dismantle the bomb in frustration and bring it into the hospital, hidden in a knapsack.
He sits next to Jesse, who's sitting in the hallway outside a pediatric intensive ward, and the two exchange words. It's absurdly funny, and intensely dramatic, all at the same time. In short, it's why I adore Breaking Bad. For the rest of the finale, there were scenes that made me laugh, and scenes that made me drop my jaw. In order, those would be Bob Odenkirk's scenes as lawyer Saul Goodman in the first place, and the final showdown with Gus in the second. And, as always with this series, there was a final image that will linger with me until new episodes arrive again. This time, the camera slowly closed in on a flower pot in Walter's back yard, eventually identifying it as a variety of poisonous plant - which, in turn, identified Walter as the true perpetrator of the crime he had accused Gus of doing. In true Machiavellian fashion, Walter had framed Gus and risked killing a young kid, all to get Jesse back on his side and against Gus. Series creator Vince Gilligan said from the start he wanted to take Walter White, and viewers, on a journey, following the central character as he changes from meek hero to forceful villain. In this fourth season finale, Breaking Bad delivered on that promise, brilliantly. By the end of this season, Walter isn't just breaking bad. He's broken. Connie Britton, Dylan McDermott, and Taissa Farmiga play a family moving into a house, where the previous tenants were found dead.

With American Horror Story, it's harder to believe the show's creators have a five-year plan but at least, after having seen the first three episodes, I can promise there's a short-term one. Series creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, who worked together on Glee and Nip / Tuck, have a history of letting their shows go all over the place. American Horror Story starts all over the place, then slowly reveals the logic and history of it all. The central story has Connie Britton, from Friday Night Lights, and Dylan McDermott, from The Practice, as a couple whose marriage is in trouble. She's just had a miscarriage, he's just had an affair - and they move to the West Coast, with their teen daughter in tow, to see if a new environment can spark a new start - except they can't pass up an unbelievably tempting real -estate deal, and move into a house whose previous tenants were found dead.

The house comes with its own housekeeper, played by Frances Conroy from Six Feet Under, and a creepy neighbor, played by Jessica Lange. Last week's premiere was a polarizing jumble of images, characters, scares and subplots - some people hated it, but I really, really liked it. And knowing what's to come, in the next two weeks, only has me liking it more. It helps to know, for example, the prologue that opened the pilot episode, showing the house at a different point in its history, is a recurring theme each week, like the flashback device on Lost. And it may encourage reluctant viewers to give the show another chance if they know that, even by episode three, a few mysteries will indeed be solved. Like, for example, why the elderly housekeeper has one dead eye. And in addition to secrets, there also are scares - as when, in this week's episode, Connie Britton's Vivien has a late-night visitor at the door while her husband is out of town. These two shows, Breaking Bad and American Horror Story, are by no means at the same level. Breaking Bad, along with AMC's Mad Men, ranks as the best drama on TV right now. American Horror Story, like many of its characters, starts off as more of an intriguing oddity. But both shows have me thinking about them long after I've turned off the TV set - which, for me, is the mark of Must-See TV.
If you do not want to hear the details, especially on the night of the final last season to break the bad, turn away from this site. But I think it's fair game to talk in detail about the TV programs once they have been broadcast on television - especially if they are doing enough work is interesting to be alive for it.
I was blown away of the Rarest of the season to break the bad.
The end of season session, set up to address high risks, with Goss in cold blood, drug barons on one side, matching the newly white and Walter (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), and former partners in Jos, the high-technology meth lab, on the other. They want from each side killed the other, but both sides were in custody. In an episode last week, Jesse Goss successfully lured to a local hospital, and the plan was to plant the Walter and ignite a bomb under a car in Goss. But Goss, a priori, leaving the car in the parking lot, and found another ride home. Left that Walter, in the first minute from the end of the season, to dismantle a bomb in frustration and bring it to the hospital, was hidden in a bag. Sitting next to Jesse, who is sitting in the hallway outside the suite a pediatric intensive, and the exchange of words Mon It's funny silly, intense and dramatic, and all at the same time. In short, it is why I love to break the bad.
Conclusion For the rest, there were scenes that made me laugh, and the scenes that made me drop my jaw. In the system, will be those scenes as Bob Odenkirk lawyer Saul Goodman in the first place, and the final confrontation with Goss in the second. As always with this series, there was a final image that will remain with me until the new episodes up again. This time, the camera slowly closed in on a flower pot in the backyard and Walter, and determine the end of the day as a variety of poisonous plants - which, in turn, identified and Walter is the real culprit of the crime he was accused by Jose. In true Machiavellian fashion, and was framed by Goss and Walter feared killed a little girl, each time to get Jesse on his side and against Goss.
Said series creator Vince Gilligan from the beginning that he wants to take Walter White, and viewers, on a trip, and after the central character as he changes from hero to villain Wadih force. In this final season in the fourth, breaking a bad delivery on this promise, brilliantly. By the end of this season, Walter is not just a bad break. Because it is broken.

With the American horror story, it's hard to believe the show creators have the five-year plan, but at least, having seen the first three episodes, I can promise that there is one on the short term.
Series creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk, who worked together to elation and Nip / Tuck, has a history of allowing bids to go everywhere. America horror story begins in each place, and then slowly reveals the logic and the history of it all.
Story central Connie Britton, of the lights on Friday night, and Dylan McDermott, of this practice, which a couple of marriage is in trouble. It was just a miscarriage, and he was just a case - and move to the West Coast, with their daughter adolescence in the clouds, to see if the new environment can lead to a new beginning - except they can not pass up an real tempting incredibly deal in real estate, moving to a house the previous tenants, who were found dead.
House comes with its own housekeeper, played by Frances Conroy of Six Feet Under, and a neighbor frightening, played by Jessica Lange. The first offer last week to attract a mix of scares and images, personalities and subplots - some people hate it, but I really, really liked it. And see what comes in the next two weeks, but they appeal to me more than that.
It helps to know, for example, which opened the introduction to the pilot episode, showing the house in a different point in its history, is a recurring theme each week, such as a flashback to the West. And can encourage viewers want to give another chance to show if they know that, even by episode three, and already a few secrets can be solved. Such as, for example, why the elderly housekeeper, and one eye shot.
In addition to secrets, and there are also fears - when appropriate, in this week's episode, Vivian Connie Woods had visitors late at night at the door while her husband was out of town.
This offers two, break the horror story Bad and the U.S., and in any case on the same level. Breaking bad, side by side with men in AMC insane, classified as the best drama on TV now. American horror story, like many of its characters, and starts more than an odd curiosity. But both appear to me to think about them long after you turn off the TV - which, for me, is a sign to be found on television.
