I'm still not over Opie, he was one of my favourite characters, but I applaud the show for having the balls to go there. Killing him off moves Jax on as a character, which works.
I love the show - I didn't watch it at first because I was hinky about how they might portray the female characters, given the subject matter, but actually their women are strong (and the showrunner himself says it's become all about the women). And the way the characters have developed, and the politics coming out within the club... works for me. S3 was not quite so good IMHO, but I loved S4 and so far a couple of the S5 episodes have left me stunned and reeling and wanting more. And really, what more can you ask from a show? Oh yes, a transgender hooker with attitude. Truly a win :)
I've not seen Breaking Bad, but I've heard good things about it - I'll check it out :)
