Breaking Bad's Hard-Earned, Heartwarming Emmys Win

[lagerthass]

True Detective's loss hinted that, for now, movie-style slickness and stars don't trump six years of storytelling.

"The 2014 Emmys: When a five-time winner beating a movie star is the biggest upset of the night." So wrote Grantland's Andy Greenwald on Twitter, referring to Bryan Cranston's victory over Matthew McConaughey for best lead actor in

I love it that they swept best supporting actor, best actor, supporting actress and show.

Yeah, bitch!

I really tuned in for BB and the BB actors on Emmy night. Those are the ones I was rooting for and I'm happy they swept their categories. I can't speak about True Detectives because I've never watched it before.

I love how the BB cast gets along. I guess I'm used to somebody just being friends with one or two cast members and that remains a life long friendship, drama on the set, or a cast that just treats the show like a job and no close ties are formed. BB is really different because you can see the love the cast has for each other. Something else I think is refreshing is the love the cast still shows towards the show. I guess I'm also used to people that show the love while the series is on the air and want to move on the next day after the series ends. I see how bitterness comes out in some actors if they're always tied to one character or one show for the rest of their life. I also see some that embrace all of it--embrace the show, the writing, the character, etc. I'd say the BB cast are in that category.

Better Call Saul

I wanted to ask this because I'm also used to communities sorta dying down when a series ends. Anyway, is this community going to stay active and continue posting BCS news? I admit I haven't really checked to see if anybody has formed a BCS community yet.

I'm one of the mods and I am definitely keen to stick around for Better Call Saul. I figure it might be easier than trying to get a new comm up and running/establish a following etc. If people are keen for this, then I'm 99% sure we can do it (I'll just have to clear it with mod #2).

That would be nice
