Morse, A.C.E., Editor – (“Daddy’s Girlfriend Part 2”).
This was the first time any basic cable show has been nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series and for once stop the domination of network comedies like Modern Family from taking all of the major awards in the comedy categories. Other basic cable comedies like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Psych, and Archer have long been ignored.

Mike takes the spotlight as Walt and Jessie try to start cooking again.
Breaking Bad has a history of starting its season out rather slowly. Take for instance Season 4, which many hailed as weak until around Episode 5, where things really started to kick off. It's a delicate process—things start off with a slow burn, and then amp up to crazy and ridiculous levels of awesome. Then it goes down again, mostly because the show has to "reset" itself back to normalcy after such an intense high.
Last week's season premiere seemed to buck that trend, kicking things off with an energetic and fun heist episode. But now that the immediate danger of Gus' laptop has been taken care of, Breaking Bad slowed down slightly with a more calm, place setting type of episode. But even a relatively uneventful episode of Breaking Bad is still a pretty damn good one...

When I first decided I was going to review Breaking Bad, I knew it would be a challenge. Not because it’s hard to write about, or because I don’t have a lot of things to say about it; I could easily write thousands of words about this show, and still have a ton of things to say about it. But the problem with reviewing Breaking Bad is that, when it comes down to it, all this will be is a gigantic love fest.
But hell, I'm going to do it anyways. Because showering my love upon all of you guys is my mission in life (oddly enough, I've said that a dozen times in my life...but I don't want to talk about my weekends). Breaking Bad kicked off its penultimate episode tonight and, sure enough, it was just as fantastic as everyone assumed it would be. At this point,...

Breaking Bad Season 4 Episode 13 Face Off. Breaking Bad: Season 4, Episode 13: Face Off ended one of the greatest seasons of the series, possibly the best. Season 3 may have equally have been as good. Throughout the episode, Walter White (Bryan Cranston) showed an increasing amount of shrewd decision making, a byproduct of his time always being in Gustavo ‘Gus’ Fring (Giancarlo Esposito)’s wake, always behind, never in front of Gus’ three-steps-ahead mind.
All throughout Face Off it was a chess match, pawns being moved around by two kings.
I had no idea what Walter was cooking up with his alliance with Tio Salamanca (Mark Margolis) until Gus showed up at the retirement home. Then I knew and it was ingenious, as ingenious as any plan Gus could have thought up.
I also did not realize Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) was Walter’s pawn until the very end of the episode.

Here at AfterElton.com, people aren't shy about naming their TV crushes, whether it's a sometimes-brooding, sometimes-happy-go-lucky roguish time traveler, a gruff, strong-willed police officer or a cable TV decorator stud. But there had to be someone who started it all for each of us. The one who first made our young selves one day notice that there was more to these TV shows than just the spaceships, cartoons, and things blowing up. Someone who made our pulse race and previously non-tingly parts go all tingly.
That was the hot topic of conversations at the AfterElton break room this week: Who was your first TV crush?
The responses we got varied quite a bit. Some people remembered the teen idols of their youth, some people remembered a character who didn't make the wardrobe department work very hard, while others remembered someone who ... surprised us.
But we don't want to just hear from Ae writers.
