You know what, screw it. I want a redo. I can't stomach any more of this gamesmanship, and I'm not going to devote a whole post to attempting to settle on some kind of personal truth when no side is blameless in the situation, and when "playing chicken" has risen through the ranks of leadership styles to be preferred by those elected by us (which, in a way, makes "us" the fools). Play on, government playas, especially now that you've assured that my nephews in the military are "essential" and will get paid despite a shutdown.
So let's start again ...
Gone but not forgotten: Walt and Jesse.
I promise not to provide any spoilers, for any of you Breaking-Bad-come-latelys who are still busy netflixing the series and who weren't part of the 10.1 million people who watched the finale last night when it aired (although, I can say that there's certainly a body count, and that can't possibly surprise any real fan of the show), but I can say I'm going to miss my "fix" of this show. Wonderfully written, amazingly acted, fantastically filmed ... it was an exquisite experience from Pilot to Felina. It best not leave the Emmy voters conscience in the lull between now and the 2014 Emmy process, because every single damn performer deserves a nomination/win (every single damn one, I say -- even baby Holly, who was in some of the most dramatic scenes of the final season, and who emoted with the best of this cast).
That which the 2013 Guinness World Records called the highest-rated TV series of all time, citing a Metacritic score of 99/100 (see below) ... you will be sorely missed, yo!
