Is there a way of watching the most recent run of Breaking Bad online? If I reconnect the Tivo this weekend, I'll lose all the eps DH has been keeping for me on the cable company DVR (while I catch up on Netflix). I could swear I read something about one of the streaming services making a deal to make them available sooner than usual, but now I can't remember which one it was.

amctv.com has the "2nd half" of the season. The first half is streaming on Netflix already.

I have the first four eps if you need them, Jessica.

Oh hey, look at that. Thanks!

I'm two eps away from running out of Netflix, so I could conceivably watch the season finale live and avoid being spoiled by the inevitable internet fansplosion.

How is it in big chunks like that? I feel like I would have gotten overwhelmed and need a lot of breaks if I tried to marathon.

We marathoned last summer. I kind of feel like the show is easier to watch marathoned because the episode breaks seem a bit random. Not that the writers don't intend the breaks, but that from a narrative arc it is easier to see the eps 2-3 at a time.

Don't know if that makes sense.

I've never seen it any other way, but I agree with this.

If I hadn't taken that break at the end of S2 to watch OITNB, I'd be all caught up by now! Oh well, it was worth it.

In his viral speech about how entertainment execs should adopt the Netflix model, Kevin Spacey says some stuff about marathoning.

I'm pretty sure he uses the word 'binge'.

There have been lots of shows, especially cable dramas, that I enjoyed much more on a binge than I would have piecemeal...for the reasons le nubian suggests.

I hate to admit that I haven't seen a single minute of Breaking Bad, as that cements my place on the uncool bench.

It feels (with no logical rationale on my part) a lot like The Shield which, once I started watching, I could not stop. And when I was done watching, I wasn't glad that I had...if you know what I mean.

Interesting. As much as I've often bemoaned having to wait to get the next bit of Breaking Bad, I've always felt a little grateful to have the time off from watching. Each episode (well, not every single one, probably, but enough of them) wrings me out so much, I just can't keep that up.

This is what I'm saying...with added impulse control weakness.
