What the fark? They’re going to split the last season into two seasons with a four month break? Son of a BITCH!
Indeed. I’d rather wait a bit longer and see the entire season.
Err… it’s going be longer than a four month break. They’re taking a four month break in production, but it will probably be longer between the seasons.
Well, production for Breaking Bad usually wraps between five and six weeks before the first episode airs. So hopefully we’ll be seeing the second-half of the season before mid-July of 2013. There’s a rumor that AMC is splitting them like this so that they’ll be eligible for two different award seasons, and if that’s the case, I don’t see why we’d have to wait until the middle of summer to see the series end.
Unless AMC is again shooting for the wide-open summer season to get the most possible viewers. But I’m staying hopeful, since it’s entirely possible that we’ll be seeing it sometime around March, which was when the second and third seasons began.
I believe this was also one of the trade-offs for getting an extended 16-episode final season.
