I think the Wire is better. While I loved BB, I think there was something more to The Wire. It was a show that was wildly entertaining while still teaching you something about the way of the world. That makes since though, considering DAvid Simon's past and goals with the show.

I've fallen pretty far down the Wire rabbit hole of youtube, and now I can't stop. So yeah, the wire.

If I'm to split hairs I'd say they tied the bow too neatly.  I don't participate or read any BB blogs, boards, etc so was wondering if there was any significance in the ricochet bullet deflecting off #10 that struck Walt.  Nonetheless bravo VG and crew.  Sits comfortably behind the Wire and miles ahead of any other TV show I've committed this much time to.

What caused the deflection?  I didn't catch that at all.  How could you tell where it came from?  You must have really good vision or watched in slow motion.

The only possible conclusion in my humble opinion. Somewhat predictable, but in a good way. The goodbye scene between Walt and Skyler (and baby Holly) was as good as any scene that's ever been on the show. Television gets no better than the Ozymandias episode a couple of weeks ago - the last two were about wrapping it all up and they did it well.

Here's to hoping Better Call Saul features pre-Walt Mike and Gus.
I'm not saying it's easy...walking into sweet oblivion.

I managed to snag one of the 300 s/n prints of "Breaking Bad On The Mount" that went on sale today (since sold out 'cept for eBay).  Really like it and couldn't resist...



those things are going for over $300 now on ebay. I think it's cool but I'd be looking for a quick profit.
Yeah, sort of the Sophie's choice of poster collecting...

*googles "Sophie's choice"*

yea that can be a predicament.
Had to cave...

I tried to get two of Upon The Mount, so that one could pay for the other but was limited to one at $70 (didn't see a price until the buy button went live, acted fast, more than I wanted to spend).  I never intentionally purchase posters with the intention to flip 'em, but I have to say I could not resist once I started seeing the going prices on eBay.

I posted it for sale at $.99 w/free shipping.  In the first 24 hours, it was up to $355.  Now at $439 with 2 days left!  Holy mama!

Highest price paid thus far... $625!
