Look: I don’t usually troll Twitter for Warming Glow material, but this different. This is Aaron Paul. This is Breaking Bad. If you could reverse polarize the glee of an Alison Brie GIF and convert it into intensity, you could approximate the feeling of watching an episode of Breaking Bad. You’d probably also break your brain. What I’m saying is: Breaking Bad is like Game of Thrones in that even when the news is ultimately completely insubstantial, the whiff of those dramas presence is enough to make us happy in the pants.
In short, that’s why an Aaron Paul Tweet about reading the first script of the final half season is newsworthy today.
See? I’m not the only one that thinks this Tweet is worthy of comment. Ewan McGregor has also been infected by Aaron Paul’s excitement, and Ewan McGregor knows a little something about intensity.
Actually, it occurs to me that, if Breaking Bad had debuted about 15 years ago, Ewan McGregor would’ve been the PERFECT Jesse Pinkman. Unfortunately, that probably would’ve meant Tim Allen as Walter White, and that just wouldn’t work, felony record notwithstanding.
Also, Tim Allen was a snitch. Mike Ehrementraut would’ve taken him out.
Bring it on, Pinkman.

Was Tim Allen moonlighting as Geraldo Rivera in the 90′s?
Seriously, I thought that was Geraldo until I saw the caption.
He should be excited, he’s going to become a huge star.
I swear to God, Verizon, if you dont get your shit together and end up dropping AMC, I will send you SO MANY angry tweets!
AMC will just do what they did when Dish Network fucked around and dropped them and stream their shows online for free until Verizon gets its shit together.
Ufford would be furious that you used “troll” instead of “trawl.”
Who knew that young Obi Wan was a fan of Breaking Bad?
I doubt he is, but I can easily see Mark Renton enjoying it greatly
Aaron Paul is a bit of a sensationalist. He also said during a script reading that season 5 was “going to be a BLOOD BATH!” And aside from the last minute or so of the last episode, was it?
Frank Vincent has no idea how to use that phone or who these people are surrounding him.
