Breaking Bad is back tonight; I'm nervous

Breaking Bad is back tonight. You already knew this.

I’ve never been so excited for the return of a television show. Of course, there were shows when I was younger that I hated going into summer hiatus with those silly cliffhangers. However, as an adult, I feel this is the best show I’ve ever watched.

I need to know how the end begins.

This is the only time I have ever had to wait for Breaking Bad. I didn’t watch it through its first four seasons.  I was only turned on to it about two to three months ago after my boyfriend watched the entire run of the series in about a week when was away for work. He told me I needed to watch and I don’t regret that decision at all.

It took me a little longer to watch than a week – about two months. I would watch a show or two at a time and then go three to four days without watching for work or other reasons. But I never felt as though I had to wait.

I’ve now been waiting for two weeks – which really isn’t a long time.

But it feels like the entire summer. Ugh, hurry up 9 p.m.!

Warning: Spoilers ahead!!

I have thought about the beginning of the last season, where the title of the first season was called "Live Free or Die." Vince Gilligan started the season in a flash forward. Walter is having a 52nd birthday breakfast. He has more hair than normal and an ID from New Hampshire (he looks more like Malcolm's dad). He meets Bobby from Supernatural (AKA the gun dealer) in the bathroom and purchases a rifle. He also is coughing when he goes outside.

So, I think, who does Walter want dead? Throughout the season, that person changed. However, all the people I thought it might have been died.

So, now who is it?

1.       Jesse because he flipped on him to Hank
2.       Better Call Saul because he flipped!
3.       Lydia? (No.)
4.       His wife!!
5.       Hank

It may not be any of these people, but right now, I feel these are the most logical.

I also keep thinking about how the season will end. Right now, I feel strongly  Walter White has to die.

He’s done too much, has become such a different person – and there is always that pesky cancer thing – that I just cannot see how Walter survives the show.

These are the things I constantly think about.

Oh well, in just a few loooong hours, the beginning of the answers will start to unravel. I have no other way of describing the start of tonight’s show other than the feeling I’ve had when my favorite team is in the Super Bowl.

The daylong excitement, the sheer anticipation of what could happen. You’re about to watch something great, but by the end of the night you’re exhausted. In this case, however, I don’t think I’ll have a feeling of disappointment.


I’ll just be frustrated having to wait one more week.

Book review: Summer is My Favorite Season

Image
Ilir Berisha might say he was one of the lucky ones. He got out of Kosova alive while living there during the war, and got to tell his story. Berisha’s book “ Summer Is My Favorite Season: A Memoir of Childhood and War in Kosovo ” paints a true story of a young boy who witnesses some of the worst the world has to offer. His parents are frustrated and frightened. They don’t know where they are going to get their next meal or when the electricity will return or if they will ever get running water again. His father has to work the black market to make money. And a beloved uncle is killed by a Serbian group. When three masked men storm their apartment on a night where NATO bombs are falling around them, Berisha doesn’t know if he and his family will make it out alive. The men could kill them or perhaps a bomb will miss its target. It wouldn’t be the first time Berisha wished for a quick death. And he was just 14 years old. Berisha’s memoir is gripping. He starts...

Book review: Game 7: Deadball

Image
As a baseball fan, I'm pretty much a sucker for anything to do with my favorite sport. But at the same time, I'm also very critical. Game 7: Deadball by Allen Schatz is a mystery thriller with the 2008 World Series as a backdrop. For the record, I was at that World Series, so it was interesting to see how certain things would be incorporated into an event I attended. The first thing I noticed was how well the book was written. As an indie author, Schatz's writing is very polished. It was a refreshing start because it meant there would be no cringing throughout the book from poor grammar or something else that a good editor could have helped. It allowed me to just enjoy the book, which I did. Marshall Connors, a Major League Baseball umpire, is at the center of the book. Connors has to cut his vacation short as he's asked to become crew chief for the 2008 World Series. Not a bad gig, but mysterious and dangerous messages start popping up around Conno...

Almost there - just one more thing to do

Image
George R.R. Martin writes long. There's nothing wrong with that, especially when it works well in his fantasy novels. My only issue is that I am currently reading the fourth book and want to finish it before I start anything new. I think I don't have much more to go. I got the book in a four-pack bundle for my ereader, so apparently I only have a 100 or so more pages to go before I am done. One of the toughest things about ereaders is actually gauging how much of a book is left. While the actual page count is there, sometimes there are extra pages at the end of books that aren't part of the story. Can't just flip to the back on this one. However, once I am done, which will hopefully be in the next day or so, the first eBook I plan to read is “ The Beat” A Baseball Short Story .” We'll start off easy – just 8,840 words. That should take me less time than it's taken to read “ A Feast for Crows .” I've scoured Smashwords to find ...
