atypical journal entry (re: television)
I forgot how truly excellent this show is until I started rewatching it tonight, as it is running in marathon form. I know not everybody has forty minutes to sit and watch a pilot episode of something, and some of you don't watch television at all, but at least watch the opening five minutes and tell me that's not some of the most compelling cinematography you've ever seen offered up on the small screen.
For the uninitiated, watch as Walter White (Bryan Cranston, "Malcolm in the Middle"), a meek househusband and disrespected high school chemistry teacher, navigates- and succumbs to- the risks of drug culture and dealing as he cooks and sells high grade crystal meth in a desperate effort to earn enough quick cash to support his beloved family beyond the culmination of his terminal lung cancer diagnosis in this dark comedy/drama.
Season one of Breaking Bad is seven episodes long, and season two starts Sunday night at 10:00pm on AMC. This is probably the very finest show on television right now.
