First season was only 7 episodes, so 33 total.
What episode was last night? #1 of season 1 or #1 of season 3? I really wish they would show a marathon of season 3.FYI - Starting tonight AMC is reruns on Sunday nights at midnight.

Since you're hooked on AMC: Rubicon is very slow, but I think it's an amazing series.

about to finish season 2, can someone explain to me the scene with the exploding turtle. after Hank got a bit sick after seeing the head, all the agents then laughed their as@es off saying it was a fake head, so i assumed they were in on it right? then it explodes and mayhem, so it was a fake head? And can we take from here they have pulled these pranks in the past?

funny you say that, a buddy of mine made me watch it, and i watched the Whole Rubican a month back. Was a good show but completely starting sucking near the finale. After watching MM and BB Rubicon is borderline unwatchable now compared to these masterpieces.With AMC starting off their programming debut's with Mad Men and Breaking Bad, thats like an expansion team starting off their squad with a young Peyton Manning and LT

I've always thought it was a real head and the agents laughed because they have thicker skin than Hank and thought it was funny as Tortuga was a low life informant anyway. I believe the Mexican cartel was responsible for the act. It just further showed that Hank didn't fit in with the agents in El Paso. In ABQ he's a big fish in a small pond whereas in El Paso he was an outcast.

I don't remember them saying it was a fake head, I thought they were just laughing at Hank's reaction.Dexter Manley

I don't remember them saying anything about a fake head.IIRC, the agents knew it was the rat's head, and they were all making fun of Hank for getting sick. I assumed all the agents (other than Hank) were hardened dea agents who had seen similar if not worse things regularly since they were on the front lines of the drug war. Thus, they found it funny that the new guy was getting queasy just seeing a severed head.The cartel was responsible for the bomb with their goal being to kill/maim as many agents as possible.

That's too bad. I agree it's not nearly as good as Breaking Bad and Mad Men. But I do think Rubicon is still vastly superior to most network dramas.

wrong thread for this but you dont feel the Rubicon finale was about as horrible a finale they could have done? Listen to the podcast from Sepinwall on it, he totally broke down just how horrible it was considering how great the previous 5 episodes were before itAnyways, Breaking bad is the shiznit

Would love to discuss it, but I am a bit behind. I have about five episodes left. It's the reason I've stayed away from the Rubicon thread I started here even though I've been eager to discuss the show.

In middle of season three now, just saying Badger doesn't get much props from what I have read here. Dude just kills in every scene he is in. That opening scene he had with the nerdy undercover cop was a riot. Him in that costume was golden, when he compared Jesse to the chocolate factory I was in tears

So amazing that it got canceled.

They never cancel good shows
Worth another bump. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out.

We set this up to Tivo and have now watched the first 6 episodes--last one was the Tuco episode, with the kid getting beat down then White rollin in with his mercury. Awesome stuff.Can't believe we missed this the first time around.
So how many seasons are there in total?

already thinking this is one of the best shows ever....

So I'm catching up with this show. Episodes 3 and 4 of season 3 on AMC last night. Needless to say this is a great series. Probably only second to Mad Men right now.
But I have to say that I'm disappointed by something they've been doing in season 3. It's the twins. The best thing they can some up with is this pair of silent, emotionless killing machines? It just seems unimaginative and cliche. Almost cartoon-like. Anybody else?

Does one of them give a speech or something?

It's funny how individual tastes vary. I couldn't stand the screaming lunatic drug dealer in the previous season. I much prefer these two

Yeah Tuco bugged me too. I just think it's too gimmicky. Sort of a Robert Rodriguez/Coen Bros rip off or something.It's funny how individual tastes vary. I couldn't stand the screaming lunatic drug dealer in the previous season. I much prefer these two

Although I haven't watched all of season 3 I do know what happens. I honestly hope they really aren't the best part.

I don't want to read the whole thread and be spoiled, just wanted to say that I've been watching the reruns of the whole series wednesday nights on AMC for the last couple months...and I think this is the best TV show I've ever seen.

All good ones. Also:Jane's death (probably my vote for most intense scene in a TV show. Branston delivered his best acting in this scene without saying a word)Jesse on the ladder trying to swat the flyWalt blowing up Tuco's buildingMike telling Walt to go into the lab and Walt's plan unfoldingJesse recalling the wooden box he made in high schoolThe ending of One Minute and Jane's death are my two favorites. Up there with Adriana getting shot in the Sopranos, #### getting shot in the Sopranos, String getting hunted down in the Wire, Michael taking out Snoop in the Wire, and Draper giving the Carousel pitch in Mad Men as the best scenes I've seen in a TV show when considering everything that led up to them and how they were executed.'TinHat said:

Love all of these moments, especially Tortuga. Great stuff. This is definitely one of the greatest shows I've ever seen.
Also loved it when:
Walt is piecing together the broken pieces of the plate and realizes he has to kill the dealer he's held captive in his basement. I remember watching that and being like "Daaaaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnnnnnnnn........"

Hank has a number of memorable scenes and Jesse's scene where he tells Walt how he has lost everything he ever cared about since they got together is one of Aaron Paul's best moments in the show to date. The only problem I have is with how slow the parking lot scene unfolds. Great for building suspense, but not very realistic.

I was thinking the same thing. And I'm glad the twins are gone. That human-terminator shtick is old and tired.

That's the price we pay for catching up with these shows 5 years after they aired. I ran into a Wire season 5 spoiler somewhere I never would have expected. And one for The Shield:
A couple days before starting the series I heard about Lem geting killed by a friend. But for some reason, while I was watching, I was thinking it was Shane that I read in the spoiler. So I was waiting 7 seasons for Shane to be killed, and it never happened.
