No clue as to who thought it'd be a good idea. It just felt like it didn’t belong? The sopranos pine episode deviated a little and was a classic. I really like the old hit man though he’s a class character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete0 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Just finished season one of deep space nine. Many episodes are tiresome and I found the first half to be very antisemitic, never noticed the ferengi were a Jewish trope before and there was one of two eps that made me uncomfortable in the first half before they humanised the Ferengi (I know MikeO wouldn't stand for such a stereotype, so Googled it and apparently it was on purpose, star trek made the ferengi unlikeable on purpose at the start of ds9 and then humanised them to combat antisemitism). Overall season one is underwhelming but I was absolutely blown away by ep 18, one of the best episodes of TV I've ever watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant programme, loved it; only reminded of it by seeing Rob Morrow in Designated Survivor. Where have you downloaded from Mike ?.

It does delve a little bit more into the relationship between Walter and Jesse, but I honestly found the episode boring for the most part. It probably had something to do with the previous episode having some sort of cliff hanger and it not being explained the following week though!

There are so many scences like that (not whole episodes like this) throughout the series. Many become even more brilliant during Better Call Saul. If I would have been watching BB when it was aired and not binging it after it was over, I would probably have really disliked the episode. It's painful enough BCS season 4 ended 10 months ago, and it's going to be another 5+ months minimum before season 5. *Twitch* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the start, you know how it's going to end - where Breaking Bad starts. But the build to that point, with the gradual introduction and development of the characters that are central in Breaking Bad is superb.

Ghoat Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 The 1980's called, and I finally got around to Reilly, Ace of Spies this week. Anything that sends me digging thru my old college history books or googling events from 100+ years ago that I only had passing knowledge of, is good TV.
