Breaking Bad gives us a much more methodical episode this week, serving more as set-up for the rest of the season. But, thanks to some impressive cinematography and direction, we certainly get our fair share of suspense and intrigue.

The first part of Breaking Bad’s final season kicked off last night with an opening sequence that gives us a peek into Walter’s (Bryan Cranston) impending future. Not only can we expect him to grow a full head of hair and lumberjack beard (complemented by a new pair of specs) but we can also anticipate a far more despondent, broken Walter.

Damages returned last night for its fifth and final season. Looks like we’re finally going to get a long awaited courtroom showdown between Patty (Glenn Close) and Ellen (Rose Byrne). The reveal that Ellen might be dead would normally have been a Damages’ jaw-dropping shocker come episode’s end, but instead elicits indifferent shrugs because we’ve seen it months ago in the Season 5 teaser trailers. Is this poor marketing tactic an indication of a disappointing season to come?
