How much longer does this guy have to live? It's been on for a few years now. I haven't seen it in awhile but when I do catch it, it's pretty good.
You never ask a navy man if he'll have another drink, because it's nobody's goddamned business how much he's had already.

One of the surprises of the Season 2 finale was the Doc telling Walt his cancer appears to be in remission.

‘Breaking Bad’ Season 3 Premiere Breaks Ratings Record
Even with reviews of a slow start, fans still tuned in to last Sunday’s third season premiere of Breaking Bad. The episode proved to be a ratings juggernaut for AMC, with 2 million viewers tuning in (3.1 million if including the immediate replay), making it the highest-rated episode ever.
If this trend continues, Don and Betty Draper better watch out because Walter White and Jesse Pinkman might soon replace the Mad Men couple as AMC’s newest sweethearts. Breaking Bad
not only showed a double-digit increase in all demographics, but also a 63% total ratings increase since the series premiered in 2008. And it doesn’t seem like anything will be able to stop Heisenberg.
While the Breaking Bad season 3 premiere was arguably flawed, the second and third episodes really help to return things back to the high-quality storytelling that fans have become accustomed to. With the reveal of who the mysterious men are and why they’re looking for Walter – plus the return of many familiar faces – I’m hoping the subsequent episodes will draw just as many, if not more, viewers than the premiere.
Unless something extremely drastic occurs, there’s no doubt that AMC will renew Breaking Bad for a fourth season. Although, one has to question how long they plan on continuing the series. Despite a consistent increase in ratings, the story of Walter White is somewhat coming to a close.
With Walter’s cancer in remission and his obvious intentions to get out of the drug trade, there’s only so many ways that you can continue to pull him back into the thick of it before viewers start getting bored with storylines that seem all to familiar to ones of previous seasons.
I’m not saying that’s where the series currently is or that’s where they’ll be next year, but I honestly don’t expect Breaking Bad to go past six seasons. If anything, it looks like they could wrap things up nicely with a fifth and finale season.
Do you think Breaking Bad could ever overtake Mad Men in the ratings? Are you looking forward to the rest of this season? How long do you think the series can/should last?

Didn't see that twist coming. Jessie has added complications to Walt's life seemingly at every turn, but I guess Walt felt/feels compelled to look after him after turning a blind eye while Jane ODd last season?

This is a show I thought you'd be all over Timothy. This season has been a step back IMO, but the first 2 are just mindblowing.

Breaking Bad
A day after its third season finale, the acclaimed AMC drama has been officially renewed for a fourth season.
The news comes thanks to a 20% ratings increase over this past season to bring its numbers up to 2.2 million viewers per episode, making it the network's most popular series (ahead of "Mad Men").
Creator Vince Gilligan talked a little about the finale and his plans for next season in an interview up at Reuters.

The show was a hot trending topic on Google on Sunday night, and many viewers -- including some fans in Hollywood -- hit the Internet to share their reactions, praising both the episode and the cast.
Here is a sample:
Cougar Town co-creator Bill Lawrence: "Current talent jealousy, letter "B" only: Book of Mormon, Breaking Bad, Bridesmaids, Bon Iver."
Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof: "Every potential Supporting Actor Drama nominee for 2012 who watched BREAKING BAD tonight just quietly muttered, 'S--t.."
Scott Mosier: "Breaking Bad - favorite show on the air. Great - great stuff -"
Nelson George: "Giancarlo Esposito has role of his career in 'Breaking Bad.' Very controlled internal performance from actor who was once over the top. Nice."
Kyle Killen: "Dear Breaking Bad, we give up - The Rest Of Television."
Shaun Hutchinson: "Very few shows can pull off what seemed like 5 full minutes of silence in one of the tensest scenes in the series.
