    I too was admiring your ticker...though I strongly disagree that there's no humor at all in the show. I laugh in each episode. It's dark, but it's there.

    I don't recall if I cried when Jane died, but I did sit there with my mouth hanging open, I know that...

    Oh, and I too was wondering WTH was up with the "skipping breakfast leads to starvation mode" comment in the article. I guess some things depend on *whose* science you listen to...

    I agree with almost all of this, especially the water part! :P

    However, it still has on myth in there, the "eat smaller meals more often" thing. Even thoogh this report is "science" , far more "science" has disproved this. It says if you skip one meal , you body goes into starvation mode, which simply is not true. It takes days for your body to go into starvation mode, not hours.
    I second you with the mythbuster about drinking so much water but…

    Water is very helpful for controlling hunger pangs. If you chug down a glass of water before a meal, you'll probably eat less during that meal. On that basis, I'm 100% for drinking water but there is no need to drink that much water.

    Insofar as "starvation mode" coming on in "days" - think months, not days. Hunger is not starvation. Losing weight on a low calorie diet is not "starvation mode". Starvation mode requires that the individual eat very, very little (I ate 800 to 1k cals/day for 7 months and never hit starvation mode) and disregard very obvious health issues.

    You're right, there are some good LINES. I think Jesse has the best one liners in season one. Season 3 & 4 just got SO HEAVY. AMC has amazing, amazing writers. The continuity in Breaking Bad and Mad Men is unparalelled, in my opinoin.

    ...Should we just start a Breaking Bad fan forum?!

    We really, really should.
    This show is like my life lately and Im horribly depressed that the season is over and theres only one left.

    Which makes me a sad human being, but I see a lot of people saying the same things.
