Safety Belt - Crash Helmet - and Diapers were needed for Breaking Bad tonight

I saw it with 4 college students in a downtown theater, where they filled it (for free admission) with fans of all ages and walks of life.

The noise of the folks in their anticipation and the commentary was like the buzzing of excited and nervous bees. When the show started it was as if their throats were all cut in the same second, til the cacophony would resurge during commercials to stop in an instant same breath stop when the show resumed.

It was an unprecedented experience when it comes to the behavior of a crowd.
Two comments from the college students afterwards:
"I need a beer now to sober up"
and
"I was going to have a nice quiet evening and meditate, now I'll be sitting on my bed, crying myself to sleep."

It was a night to remember.

critical component of the entire series. Now if we could just have Vince Gilligan explain that to the Republicans...
