Breaking Bad (AMC, Sunday 10 p.m.) — The fifth summer season finale airs on Sunday, which means no more Breaking Bad for a while. I’m hoping it returns in the Spring, but most anticipate it won’t be back to finish out the series until next summer. I have no idea what’s going to happen in this episode, but there’s two things you can likely bet your house on: 1) There will be another glimpse of the flash-forward, and 2) however the episode ends, it will likely give us a lot to talk about for the next many months.
Small Town Security (AMC, Sunday 11 p.m.) — First season finale. Honestly, think about it really hard: Has there EVER been a bigger disparity in quality between one show (Breaking Bad) and the one that follows it (Small Town Security). This show has been like one giant joke, and maybe the worst possible job of programming on AMC’s part. Given the perfect opportunity to launch a gritty, complex show, they blow it on … a reality show about a bumbling security force.
Hoarding: Buried Alive (TLC, Sunday 9 p.m.) — I watched half an episode of Hoarders once (and I assume this is a direct rip-off), and I spent the next three hours cleaning my basement. Never again.
Weeds (Showtime, Sunday 10 p.m.) — STILL not the series finale? How long are they going to drag this damn season out?
Doctor Who (BBC America, Saturday 9 p.m.) — The only show I’m almost as excited about as Breaking Bad, the seventh season kicks off with the return of the Daleks, who are expected to be angrier than ever. I’m just so sad that the show is working its way toward ridding my television of Karen Gillan’s legs.
College Football: Ohio State vs. Penn State (ESPN, Saturday noon) — College football returns on Saturday, and while the ABC matchup on Saturday Night (Alabama vs. Michigan) is probably the best of the weekend, the post-Paterno storyline of this game is likely the most compelling.
Also, have a great holiday weekend, folks.

It’s Ohio vs Penn State, Ohio State plays Miami U. Sorry for the pedantry, my avatar demands it.
There there, Dustin. I have faith in my country’s ability to keep Karen Gillan’s legs on screen.
And also in its ability to get her naked by 2015. We’re exploitative like that.
I can’t tell of Jesse is becoming Bodie or DeAngelo. Either way, I’m excited to see what happens with his arc.
College football already came back last night. (GO GAMECOCKS WOOOOOOOO)
Ohio State actually plays Miami of Ohio
Miami u is Ohio. U Miami is Florida.
Heisenberg will become the spokesperson of Coca-Cola and become even more rich than Grey Matter. Proof: [www.redbubble.com]
A friend of mine said he heard somewhere that Breaking Bad may return in January.
I know that is an utterly vague and in no way helpful, but shut up it gives me hope.
Prediction for ‘Gliding over all’ :
All 9 of Mike’s guys die mostly due to Todd’s uncle’s prison connections!
Hank, worried about Walt and Skyler’s marriage life, visits Walt’s place (my guess is with Marie and Holly) , and accidentally bumps into that Walt Whitman book in Mr.White’s room!
Holly dies!
Ding. Ding. Ding. And the prize goes to…
*applause*
1 1/2 out of 3 ain’t bad. Half credit because the book wasn’t in Walt’s room. Holly of course, does die when she gets into Walt’s meth stash.
gunnar you must have been tipped off as that’s pretty fuckin’ good. unless bb is becoming predictable. i didn’t even make a connectio to the book, with gail till i saw the inscription.
Haha, thanks you guys!
I realised it the moment i read the name of this episode last week!
Firstly, I went thru the WW poem which reads ‘Death, many deaths’ in the end! Hence, my first prediction re the 9 guys gettin’ killed. And to me, it was obvious that the only way this would happen is thru Todd’s uncle!
Secondly, it HAD to be the WW book. It was even shown in the season 5 premiere where Walt, along with the ricin, hides the book in his room! This was the only way Hank would find out imo!
I’m hoping we find out that Walt’s cancer is in fact back and in full force and he has less time than expected.Why does that flash forward have to be exactly 1 year later, Walt has a new identity in that flash forward and why would he use his real birth date.
Christopher Eccleston was smart to get out ASAP because it wasn’t a good fit. David Tenant was the PERFECT Doctor. Matt Smith is an awful Doctor.
What do I know anyway? Tom Baker will always be the Doctor for me.
Todd’s prison connections strike me as a bit too deus ex machina for this show (assuming they do end up eliminating those nine guys), but that’d still be pretty damn cool. Heisenberg would be entering Keyser Soze territory in the eyes of the DEA if he has that pulled off.
Prison connections sound less reliable and more expensive to keep quiet than Mike’s people. This whole Walt crime lord angle threatens to turn comical (for better or worse).
As much as I love Saul, he’s the definition of deus ex machina, so this isn’t new territory for the show. Whenever they back themselves into a corner, a character conveniently appears with all the answers. It’s not quite the eagle saving Frodo from Mordor, but close enough. At least there was some foreshadowing in Todd’s case.
What is it with Vince Gilligan and swimming pools?
Oh, and like Hank, I do my best thinking on the throne.
Shit just got real son
Aww hells yes.
I’m pretty sure this is Walt’s reaction to being found out.

Oh man. So good.
