As I'm watching the show, I keep thinking back to this... this is how I imagine the show would open if it was in HBO style (the titles over the action throw me).  It doesn't look like I've posted this yet, but apparently it came out two years ago.  If it's a repost, than I apologize now.

I dig this fan-made title, but I'm glad that AMC kept it simple. The original title sequence, with just the bass line in under 15 seconds is.....perfect.

We've got the last two to watch... Probably today.

Very very intense last few episodes.

You're already at the end of Season 5? Binge watching?

I just finished season two last night, the one with the collision.  Taking a bit of effort not to start season three at this moment.

We were doing 2 a night when we first got Netflix.

Came to the 5th season mid break and had to wait a few weeks when Netflix made the end available.

It pokes like now, we will watch the rest next Friday, due to other commitments.

See, that lull before the last couple of episodes... and not knowing how long that lull would be... that's why I didn't get into the series until now.  It becomes so easy for me to lose the momentum of the show.

Did anyone else notice, like, a twisted Back To The Future feel to this?  I had been thinking "Shazam" when I saw the RV for the first time, but now I keep thinking of the original Back To The Future script, where Doc and Marty are bootleggers, and this feels like a funky extension/perversion of that.

Absolutely...

I've had a problem with this for the longest time and I've said it here. That's why I am only loyal, and that's stretching it, to a couple of shows. One little hiccup, let alone a huge break, I just lose it. Don't care.

I never did finish Battlestar Galactica.  I grant you the show went off the rails at the time (the final five, are you kidding me?) but it was that lull that kept me from actually getting back into the series.  Same with Burn Notice, although the prison element hurt as well (I don't really like shows about that, it's one of the reasons i haven't gotten into Orange Is The New Black.  And you'd think I'd be all over a women in prison series).

The lull isn't a problem for lighter fare, like Monk, Psych, or anything like that.

Yo!  I'm into season FOUR already, yo!  About 25 more episodes to go, thankfully it's all cold and miserable outside so I don't have anything better to do than run through all these eps.  Heck, I got stuff to do tomorrow, so maybe I'll just watch all night so I can get an early start.

I still don't know how I was able to keep it to 2-3 episodes a day when I checked out the DVD Seasons from the Library. The only Season that I watched live was Season 5 and that was because it was the only way I could guarantee that I wouldn't run into spoilers. But it was brutal getting through each week with only 1 episode to sustain me. TORTURE!

I'm so used to watching streaming now that it's actually weird to go only a few eps, then change the disc... sometimes it's too few, sometimes it's too many!  Episodes per disc these days seems so arbitrary.

Please tell me Hank's obsession with minerals is going somewhere.
