It always seemed like they weren't sure what the end game was until then. IIRC the end of the third series was the first one they were sure they'd be getting another go round.


Ah, so you did consider it, at least.

They could have ended it at season 4 and it would have been perfect. I think the finale was spot on, though. A fitting end.

At your prompting, monsieur. The thought hadn't crossed my mind.

It was just ambiguous enough, yes.

Just a logical observation, is all.

Yeah. I think it was a good way to end it. I'd love them to bring it back, but deep down I know that's where it should end.

I mean, of course we are allowed to wear sports bras, but the rule we were protesting is that we are required to wear shirts while the guys aren't. Which is unfair. Are girls not supposed to get overheated in 100 degree temperatures with 90% humidity? :eyebrow:


agreed. a sports bra is not exactly an underwired lace garment.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

I think it may come back for a one-off miniseries. I think that would be interesting.

There's the spinoff Better Call Saul, but it takes place a few years before Breaking Bad in terms of chronology. Walter might make a cameo appearance at best, as Saul and Walter didn't know each other until Breaking Bad.

I thought that might be the case. The gear, too. That must cost a packet. Having said that, I must have spent upwards of £500 on cricket gear since I started playing. And I know for certain I currently own £200 worth of football boots, although at least two of my four pairs are not required and they've been accumulated over the last 4 years or so.

Not that I am aware of. There are often city/town recreational teams (I used to cheerlead for them) that will play each other (or sometimes split into two and play themselves) but they are not very popular and for the most part involve much younger children.
