I just learned they're shooting a Jessie Pinkman movie for Netflix. I have a feeling people are going to hate it. People thought the finale was too cute (though not me) for how it sent off Walter. Would they really give us two more hours of Jessie suffering? Seems like it might get cute for him too.

Frankly I was hoping he would die in the finale, ideally doing something that would give him a sliver of happiness--some kind of sacrifice or vengeance or something.

Anyway, will be interesting to revisit that poor sonofabitch.

I’m a generally ethical person yet it would have been an easy decision to jettison Jason pretty early on.

Also, when is Chidi going to get around to talking Sartre’s Huis Clos aka No Exit which is clearly what this is based on?

The best response I saw to this news was on Twitter, and read (roughly): "remember when things had endings?" I'm just tired of the current TV model, where successful things get dragged out. You can tell the same thing is going to happen with Game Of Thrones, with sequel and prequel series and all that. Have it end! Move on to the next thing!

But that would require more original ideas, and networks taking more risk. Ahhhhhhh!!!!

Not sure if it’s been mentioned already but Long Shot on Netflix is a great way to spend 40 minutes.
