Walter really started pissing me off during the last several episodes. And it got me thinking: I don't remember a TV show before Breaking Bad that compelled me to root for the bad guys. Initially, WW was a good guy doing a bad thing for good (albeit misguided) reasons. We've watched him devolve...

Forgive me if this has already been addressed. I am noticing a distinct quality difference between 22 oz and 12 oz bottles. The bombers are consistently better.
