Inspiration

So I've been struggling to find a hobby lately, and realized I spend a fair amount of my time watching TV. Thanks to the invention of DVR and TV on DVD, it doesn't actually have to take up a significant amount of my time. And thanks also to stumbling on Alan Sepinwall's TV critic blog (once sepinwall.blogspot.com and now www.hitfix.com/whatsalanwatching i think) which has made me appreciate TV much more as an artistic medium, and thanks also to Daniel Chang (gluttonouschinaman.blogspot.com) who made me realize that simple ramblings can reach and entertain an ever growing audience, I think I might start up a little blog so that I can record my thoughts on TV episodes as I go through them, maybe or maybe not following in the GCM's footsteps by including personal life adventures in the posts, but we'll just see. So the first review will be of Breaking Bad, Season 1, Episode 4: "Cancer Man." I mean wow, the first three episodes of this series basically served as an extended pilot showing Walt White's realization of having cancer, entering the meth trade, being exceptionally good at it, getting confronted head on with the bad parts of the meth trade (as Omar says "It's all in the game.") and then cleaning up said confrontation. You might think that the show would get into some kind of routine, like so many other shows do after establishing the plot, of doing one-off stories that don't affect the larger story arc, but I'm glad its been able to keep up this momentum into a fourth episode. Okay, the reviews are going to get better from here on out, I promise.
