I guess my critique was that I was hoping to see more of Walt in the classroom, as I think him being a chemistry teacher AND a meth maker could make for some good storytelling and juxtaposition down the road.
Otherwise, Cranston seemed the perfcet guy to play this role because he really does look the part of your average weak-willed chemistry teacher. Great episode, and I'm looking forward to next week's already.| Promote this thread! |           | Jackson

Even without the Writer's Strike I think this would still be the best show on TV right now. I know that might sound crazy after only two episodes but get back to me after you have watched them.
And when I say this is a dark comedy, I am talking pitch black here.

| #3 Posted on 8.2.08 0408.22 | Instant Rating: 4.05 | I think what I like the best is that when I'm watching, I don't see Malcom's dad. I see him as they present him in the show, the fish-out-of-water chemistry prof.
I'm with geemoney. He is amazing in this part. I wasn't going to watch because he was on Malcom, but after catching the 1st episode while channel flipping, I was hooked.

Best show of the season IMO. | Caliban

| #6 Posted on 4.3.08 1045.54 | I agree with StaggerLee, this show is probably my favorite on tv right now. The wife and I have been catching the replays with On Demand so I'm a week behind. We just watched the intervention episode and were both amazed at how good of an actor Cranston is.
Jackson mentioned only having seven episodes, is that because of the strike or was that planned? |
