Two nightmarish visions of Albuquerque collide in this Breaking Bad/Weird Al mashup [spoilers for Breaking Bad through the most recent half-season]

Shoot, I'm only up to 3x10. I need to HURRY UP.

I want to know who gets the business end of that machine gun now!

I'm more interested in the ricin cigarette. That thing's been in play forever. (I'm guessing Jesse gets it.)

"an awful lot happens, probably enough to fill 20 episodes"

"these episodes take on a trajectory that we haven't experienced before"

"brutal. carnage."

"there's no slowing down, no breathing. we just punch you in the gut. it's a violent, brutal race to the finish line."

"every time i get a new script i go, like, *whispered* 'oh my goddddd...' i think i told vince gilligan at one point that he was a sick freak."

"we're not ending with a bang. we're ending with the biggest of bangs. we wouldn't have introduce an m60 into the show if we didn’t know we were going to have a hell of a finish."

I am so excited for this finale.

Don't forget to take that left turn.

Why does it have to be two more weeks?

More like 13 days, but who's counting?

True fact: the August 11 premiere is the day before my birthday. Two hours before, to be precise.

The show owes Weird Al a cameo appearance... final episode if possible...

It turns out he's already been in there, all along.

OK, I'm not even halfway through this thing and his ability to pull little clips that sync up about perfectly with the lyrics is starting to freak me out a little.

If I were Vince Gilligan, I'd buy the rights to the song, pay the author a fee, and put it in the extras for the Season 6 DVD set. It's that fucking good.

We know a little bar in Albuquerque called Anodyne. Inside a table there, there is Wolverine.

I already knew I loved Albuquerque, but am glad to know I made the right decision in skipping Breaking Bad.

Yeesh, this post confirms to me that all signs recently have been pointing me to move back to ABQ. I miss Anodyne also, ha ha.

Hey, a new Breaking Bad teaser, with even more scenic Albuquerque vistas (and also a menacing reading of Ozymandias).

Thank heavens. For a minute I thought I was in for some Weird Al bukkake.
