Bryan Cranston gets a lot of credit for his work on this show but in my opinion Aaron Paul is just as awesome if not better.
The last couple of episodes on season 3 is just Breaking Bad New Grounds. The low point being the episode with the fly, but I think they just did that one to challenge themselves while making the other episodes look even better.
"The Fly" was my favorite episode of season 3. Its directed by rian johnson, the film director who did Brick and The Brothers Bloom. It was a containment episode which most TV shows do where they will make an episode take place in only one location to save alot on the budget.
I love watching these more original style programs like Breaking Bad, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy over the overly reproduced family comedies or CSI:Enter City Name Here... And HBO and Starz are beginning to release some great original mini-series also. Gotta wonder whats going on in the heads of the execs at ABC/CBS/NBC/ETC networks.. did they all eat stupid pills and forget how to do their jobs and tell good programming from bad? At least NBC saved face this year and re-cancelled that wonder woman meets Ally Mcbeal production. What were you thinking! Gawd!
Bryan Cranston recently in an interview said that one of the shows characters will die within the first 10 minutes of the season four premiere.
Now who could that be? :O
SPECULATION TIME HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Gus? - Considering he's the head of the "want walt dead"-crew, it could be likely, though i think he is a great character and it would be sad to see him leave THAT early on (that, at one point, he has to go is relatively clear).
Saul? - Maybe. I read the actor has another series he signed for (not that you cant do both, considering saul isnt thaaaaat huge of a role), still, saul is awesome and it would be a sad day to see him leave the show
Skylar/Walt jr ? I dont know...its the dexter syndrom. At one point, if the show wants to be consequent - Walt has to lose someone important to him, and wow, what a season start would that be
Jesse? Highly unlikely, though the character initially wasnt created to be around for long by vince giligan, hes become a fan-favourite, won awards and is without a doubt the 2nd most important character in the show...cant see that happen
at last - Hank/Marie ? God i hope not hank still i can see why that could be a possible way, as death of one of them would have giant consequences (Hank - walts best friend - though that would destroy the whole "keep hank from discovering walts secret-story // marie on the other hand - would be a huge blow to skylar and maybe even open up a way for walt back in her life, due to her losing her sister, beeing hurt, needing someone to get over that tragedy etc, plus, hank is kind of beeing built up as a major support actor (with the whole el paso storyline etc.pp) and this would for sure intensify everything (considering that either death in the show (of all the aforementioned) would be connected to walt in some way)
I just recently started watching this series. I finished the first season yesterday and I have to say, it's amazing so far. The story arc, the writing, and delivery by the actors has me wanting more. I haven't even finished watching Season 2 or 3 and I'm already dying for Season 4.
I haven't read this thread yet and I plan to do so once I finish watching season three.

Damn it...i cant wait for july, 17th :/
I'd almost say Jesse is the most important character on the show, I can't even imagine the show without him on it. All of my favourite scenes of the show feature Jesse. Any form of humour in the show is connected to Jesse and I've also found the drama scenes played by him stronger than any other actor on the cast. The whole Jane-story was nothing short of amazing.
Looking at how season 3 ended (cliffhanger much please ) it's pretty safe to assume that it's Gale the chemist who's gonna do the dieing.
I am so so so hyped for this shows return. It'll soothe the pain of Mad Men's next season being pushed a year further away.

I personally stopped watching this show after season 2 I wasn't to happy with what they were doing in season 3, I watched about 1/2 of season 3 and just stopped watching all together.
I will say though that I think season 1 and 2 are the possibly best seasons of any show I've ever watched.

You're definitely in the minority but as I think about it, I can totally see where you are coming from. Let me just say, I adore this show - it's the best television show since Six Feet Under (or maybe the Wire.) But the tone of the show has totally changed. It has always been ridiculously dark but the early comedic tone of the show has been ratcheted down, replace by an overwhelming source of oppressive paranoia and drama.
I'd still implore you to stick with the show, even if you don't love season 3, it's a hell of a lot better than most other shows on television.
I hope they kill off Walt Jr. He doesn't contribute to the show anymore and it would take Walt to the point of no return. The theme of the show has been Walt's spiral further down the rabbit hole. Walt has to be driven to be bad. First it was his looming death that got him started. Then he got a rush from the Heisenberg character since he had been a weakling his entire life. Then his wife leaving him caused him to work for Gus. The less Walt has to live for, the crazier the show will get.
