I don't mean to dig at you SS just my opinion.

Also I bumped this thread for Breaking Bad and everyone ignored me, fawk this place! =)
I think SI is great. And while SI.com doesn't have a large audience, it seems to have a very dedicated, passionate audience. I used to love watching their weeknight sports show with Fred Hickman and Nick Charles (RIP)

That said, people mainly just go to Extra Mustard to see the pictures of the girls not for sports info. And I think ESPN has some outstanding writers. Our problem is information overload, a lot of the good material is buried. It's a constant struggle to find the right way to present our best info.

I tend to go to places like CSNWashington and SB Nation DC for my sports because I want to read about my local teams and ESPN can't provide analysis and info at the level of detail those sites can.

Anyhow, as for Breaking Bad. I keep wanting to watch that show. I saw the first episode a couple of years ago and liked it but never stayed with the show.

As for The Killing, is season 2 next summer?

That is it in a nutshell! Exactly why I have trouble with that site. you must work there or something. =)

Honestly do yourself a favor and watch Breaking Bad you will love it. The 1st season is really short. 2 and 3 are only like 13 episodes. IT is fun to watch on DVD becasue you can marathon them and a lot of the plot will pull from way back, that way it is fresh in your memory.

As far as the Killing I am unsure of it's return.

Completely agree. The writers really reward viewers who pay close attention. For instance a very minor character in one episode of season 2 may end up playing a big role in a story arc in season 3.
Also, the character evolution is really well thought out and organic, There have only been about 30 episodes but the characters are really different now from how they started, but in a totally believable way.

Seriously SS, catch up on Netflix or whatever in time for the new season!
