I like Bill Maher, but I discontinued HBO

it's two more days until dollhouse premiers...

So what did you think? It has potential for storylines to last but besides being beautiful that Eliza Dushku is a horrible actress. I think she kinda ruins it. But thats me..........

Jack, we've talked about this show [Breaking Bad] before and I finally got around to reading a synopsis on season one. Posting the Wiki if anyone is interested.

Spoiler (hover to show)

Season one
Walter White, a chemistry teacher with a pregnant wife and a son with cerebral palsy, develops stage-three lung cancer. Interested in leaving an inheritance with his family before his death, Walter enters the drug trade on the production side, using his chemistry knowledge to cook remarkably potent crystal meth with Jesse Pinkman, a former student of his. Operating out of an RV in the desert, the two must defend themselves against two dealers, formerly Jesse's distributors, who accuse Walter of being a DEA agent. At first offering them the recipe to his crystal meth, Walter instead gasses them with phosphine and leaves them to suffocate in the RV, before driving away with an injured Jesse in tow.

Walter and Jesse discover that one of the dealers is still alive, and restrain him in Jesse's basement. While Jesse disposes of one dead dealer's body, he tasks Walter with killing the other, a prospect that sickens him. Jesse dissolves the dead body in a bathtub of hydrofluoric acid, which eats through the tub and the floor beneath it, spilling dissolved entrails in the hall. Meanwhile, Walter has begun providing food and a latrine to his prisoner, whom he also confides in, attempting to find any excuse to leave him alive. Ultimately, Walt kills him when he discovers the dealer's intentions to murder him. Following the disposal of the body, Walter severs ties with Jesse and the drug trade.

Meanwhile, Walter's brother-in-law Hank, a DEA agent, aware of a powerful new drug producer in the region, follows a trail of evidence left at Walter's cook site. Walter finally reveals his cancer to Skyler, who implores him to visit specialist doctors and undergo chemotherapy. At first adamant to decide his own fate, to die honorably instead of suffering the indignities of chemotherapy symptoms, Walter finally agrees to treatment, and approaches Jesse to rebuild their business arrangement, to better pay for the treatments. Jesse, unable to replicate Walter's recipe, accepts Walter's partnership, and agrees to their clearly-defined roles: Jesse the salesmen, and Walter the cook. Jesse learns that Walter has lung cancer and realizing his goals of helping his family after his death, develops a newfound respect for him.

Walt sends Jesse to negotiate with Tuco, a violent psychopath who has taken over local drug distribution. During their first meeting, Tuco refuses to pay upfront for the product and savagely beats Jesse when he attempts to end the deal. With Jesse in the hospital, Walt confronts Tuco with the demand for upfront payment. As Tuco prepares to assault him, Walt detonates a concealed explosive, blowing out the top floor of the hideout and intimidating Tuco into surrendering payment with a promise for future business. Jesse recovers from his wounds and the two resume cooking meth, this time circumventing the over-the-counter medicine portion of the recipe in favor of industrial-sized quantities of a potent chemical replacement. Now able to produce four times as much crystal meth as before, the two begin steady business with the increasingly psychotic Tuco.

Ive got season one loading as I type

Be careful with Breaking Bad, it's a dirty show, and has a dark humor.

And when I say dirty, I don't mean it in a sexy way - I mean unclean.

Michelle Gomez is fantastic in Green Wing. Maybe I'll watch The Book Group just for her

hehe, a friend just told me on monday that she was soo fantastic in the green wing. but i don't like hospital series except for the kingdom by lars von trier.

it's a great show i can recommend from all my heart! just finished watching the 2nd season of the bookgroup on sunday.

[feelingindifferent]

Don't think of Green Wing as a hospital series, more like a new classic in British comedy. Must watch.

k dwling now

^did you ever watch dead like me? its made by the same guy who made pushing daisies, but dlm is much better imho

I finished watching this the other day and in the main I enjoyed it.  I am not sure what the film that was recently released was trying to do? and Ellen Muth's anorexia was very distracting, but the series definitely did have its moments.  Thanks for the heads-up though disco, as it was a pretty good show.

[Discover99]

you are more than welcome! did you watch that rubbish of film? i deleted it straight after it finished. blech
and you are right the main actress was much too thin, but since she was playing a dead girl i didn't really bother.
