I just didn't want JetFan to throw a fit again.

that.

Thank you, kind goon.

The last eight will be interesting. Now that we're all watching we can post weekly here, and everyone will know if they watch a day later to avoid the thread unless they want spoilers.

You've all been pre-warned.

Currently in the middle of rewatching, midway through season 3. [SPOILER=Warning: Spoiler!]After Hank gets shot by the cousins[/SPOILER] I never realized just how many cell phones they destroyed the first time around. I really want to go buy a cheap flip phone at the gas station just to snap it in half and tear out the SIM card.

If you do, make sure you do it in front of your parents and their friends. Pretend someone is calling you and then say, "Don't leave messages on this phone... Really... and what does our friend in Rhode Island think... well tell him the seagulls are roosting and its time to fly south for the winter... look, it happens. We'll figure it out... Yea, I can meet you in 30..."

Then you break the phone and tell your folks, "Excuse me, I have to go drop off some library books."

Finished re-watching through season 4. So good. You see a lot more of the ramp-up to the finish the second time around. Also, I think this phone will do: http://www.walmart.com/ip/AT-T-GoPhone-Samsung-A157-Black/20742370 I'll do it at the driving range, while I'm filling in slow-mo. Snap the phone in half, and walk away from the camera as I toss the battery and the SIM card on the ground. Then there's an explosion behind me.

Yup.  They did a marathon the other night (Thursday, I think??) and saw the end of the second to last episode, and the entire final episode, of season 2.

Starting with Walt and Jane's dad having the conversation as strangers in a bar about their daughter/"nephew," then him watching her die.  The next episode centering around her dad, and then the plane crash ... also with Skylar taking the kids and moving out (after Walts "which cell phone?" comment in the hospital)

I swear this might be the best show ever.

Don't get me wrong ... I loved me some Soprano's (among several other great shows), but man just that little bit I watched the other night has me about to consider breaking out the whole series to see if I can get through it all prior to the new ones coming out.

Not a spoiler - Jane's dad, Q from Star Trek - to see him far from being omnipotent is strange. He can't just snap his daughter back to life. But he plays the role well. One of the great things about cable is seeing actors who play a type on network TV do a totally different type. And curse :-)

Do it! Seriously worth it. And once you start, you'll have no trouble finishing it before the new episodes start airing - so addictive. Also, I am currently watching the Sopranos while I wait for breaking bad. Tis' also a very good series so far.

No way.  You realize that there are only 10 nights left between right now and the season premiere? And there have been 54 episodes thus far.  ;)

Instead I'm just picking and choosing random episodes to watch when time permits.  Watched "One Minute" from Season 3 last night.  (Hank beats up Jesse, the brothers come for Hank) and I think I'm going to watch "Salud" tonight if I have time.

You're not watching them in order? I can't get on board with that!

I've already watched all of them ... And in fact they are fresher in my mind than most of you cuz I didn't start until just before the first half of season 5 ... So at this point I'm just getting excited by watching some of the really good ones (I.e. any of them ;))

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.
