TV reminder: ‘Breaking Bad’ returns

News, Television, Video, , , , , , ,

Here we go. The final 8. After four and a half seasons of White White breaking bad, how will it all end?

In an interview with EW, Breaking Bad creator and mastermind Vince Gilligan shares what fans can expect. “As the movie title goes, there will be blood. To my mind, that’s not the most interesting thing. It’s the emotional moments and the character moments. We’ve got some stuff that I think is going to be truly satisfying and truly shocking and jarring. It does not always center on moments of violence…I have surprised myself at how much story there was left to tell and how quickly we tell it. You need to really settle down on the couch and pay close attention because it’s going to come at you fast and furious in the final eight episodes.”

On many occasions, without spoiling a thing, Gilligan has assured people that he and his writing staff are wholly satisfied by the ending. And although this statement may not completely quell your fears about how the series will wrap up, it sets my mind at relative ease because Gilligan has proved time and again that he can be trusted in terms of sheer storytelling.

In the end, Breaking Bad has been about a mild-mannered chemistry teacher afflicted with cancer transforming into a deadly drug kingpin; the protagonist becoming the antagonist. Gilligan has publicly stated that at some point he completely lost sympathy for Walter White. Whether or not you are still cheering for him, you will witness the remainder of his journey to the dark side as the final run of eight episodes begins Sunday, August 11 at 9PM.

Three things: One, a Breaking Bad after-show called Talking Bad hosted by Chris Hardwick will air after every episode. Two, Discovery Channel is airing a special edition of Mythbusters inspired by Breaking Bad where the hosts will test myths straight from the AMC series; it premieres Monday, August 12 at 10PM. And three, videos! Jump after the break to watch new promos, a recap, a gag reel, and sneak peeks at the Mythbusters-meets-Breaking Bad installment.

Game of Thrones season two just ended last month so what better way to bide your time than by marking your calendars with the season three premiere date. Ready? Here it is: March 31, 2013.

Other than announcing this special day, the Game of Thrones panel at Comic Con moderated by author George R.R. Martin included a five-and-a-half minute recap of the epic second season and a brief introduction to (a whopping) 14 new characters we will be forced to know next season. The former video is embedded above while the latter one hangs after the break. Under that video there’s a listing of all the new characters explaining how they’re each tied to the ones we already know.

‘Fringe’ recap prepares viewers for what’s to come

Television, Video, , ,

Fringe returns from its extended hiatus next Friday so it’s time to brush up on everything’s that has been going on. FOX makes it easy with their latest recap video titled “Neither Here Nor There.” It serves as the thirteenth installment in the Fringe: Past + Present + Future series that was originally uploaded to YouTube intended to ease long-time viewers into season four and help entice newcomers to start watching the show. Like all the videos before it, this one is narrated fantastically by Walter Bishop’s portrayer John Noble. I don’t care whether or not you watch the show; listening to Noble’s voice is like vacationing on a calm beach and hearing the ocean waves glide by. Enough words; go on and mash play and remind yourself why Fringe is one of the best series on TV right now.
