Fans this week were discussing Hank's mental strength, wondering how much more realistic Breaking Bad could get, and sharing what they're doing to sate their Bad appetites between seasons.

"Hank's character had all the bravado he needed when it counted. He was up against a machine gun, and he took cover then got his shot. He also had enough courage and presence of mind to tie that guy's leg seconds after that bomb went off blowing up 3 agents." -- kevin o

"I think it would be an interesting experience to be on this show. While they are somewhat accurate in their portrayal of the worst side of 14-dayer life, there is still much to be 'desired.' Wonder how much realism the audience could handle." -- noone2noone

"TOO LONG TO WAIT. It's like I've been off meth for months now and I need a fix BAD. Actually a good book to read to fill in the time is "Methland" by Nick Reding. Pretty eye-opening look at the entire industry and middle America." -- opiedog

The National Cancer Coalition's President Rob Landry and Corporate Relations Manager Jim Hollis discuss the Save Walter White website (which links to their charity's website), their work helping patients battle cancer, and what those patients could learn from Walter White in AMCtv.com's exclusive interview.

Q: What kinds of services does the National Cancer Coalition provide to cancer patients?

JH: We take donated money and make it available to cancer institutes to go to meeting the unmet needs of cancer patients. For example, you have some patients that have to travel a great distance for chemo treatments or radiation. And with the price of gas it's kind of expensive. So a lot of people are not doing their treatments because they can't afford to. So this money goes to help them with gas, with lodging, with some of the medicines that insurance doesn't cover, and just kind of helps them to complete their battle with cancer.

Q: How did you hear about Breaking Bad?

Fans this week wondered whether Donald would seek revenge on Jesse for his daughter's death, debated Walt's definition of "bad" and discussed the possibility Walt may be getting a new partner in Season 3.

"I think its important to define the difference between what society considers 'bad' and what Walt considers 'bad'. We watch this man as the world corners him and leaves him no other options. People who live a life of crime don't prefer that lifestyle but feel as though its the only option, a necessity. They don't consider it 'bad'. Walt's primary goal has always been to provide for his family. To him, this justifies the lies and deceit." -- clayism

"Interesting to think that Donald might go after Jesse. Let's not forget that it was Jane who dragged Jesse into the heroin bit -- not that a father would want to hear that about his little girl." -- dwt

"Assuming that Walt will keep cooking in S3, he is going to need a source for precursors now that he and Jesse used up all of their methylamine in their 4-day marathon cook session. Perhaps [the assitant] will provide a business connection to purchase/divert the needed chemicals without the risk of another midnight break-in at the local chem supplier?" -- ellisdtripp

The actor known for his role as Q on Star Trek discusses a father's worst nightmare, the nature of panic and how his Breaking Bad role has changed his perception of airplane travel in AMCtv.com's exclusive interview.

Q: What made you want to be in Breaking Bad?

A: [Casting director] Sharon Bialy had told me, "If you get this, you'll get an opportunity to do things you don't usually get to do." And she was right. I usually play the sort of hard-boiled guy who is forcing situations -- I'm not usually playing the person in reaction.

Q: Donald goes through a father's worst nightmare. As a father yourself, what was that like to portray?

Fans this week were discussing the relevance of Hank throwing away Tuco's grill in Episode 5 of Season 2, and praising about the characters they love to hate.

"As much as I love Hank's character -- the macho, hard ass, and bombast DEA Agent -- Hank has sold a beautifully crafted lie. Although, one cannot live a lie forever. The facade he built up was no match for the after-effects of killing Tuco. Regardless of his attempt to hide his feelings, Hank has been scarred. By hurling Tuco's diamond encrusted oral appliance into the Rio Grande, Hank was attempting to cast off the haunting memories of his encounter with Tuco." -- PiNkMaNs89MonteCarlo

"The grill might open everything up, because the dealers in Juarez still haven't really shown up in town. Remember Hank said, 'They better hope we (DEA) get to them (dealers aka Walt & Jesse) before the boys in Juarez do.' I believe we saw a brief glimpse when the informant played by Danny Trejo had his head cut off and put on the exploding tortoise. -- dweezler

"I hope that we see more of Saul Goodman, a great character. He seems to be a man convinced of his own superiority and smarts. He may not be as smart as he thinks. The loss of Tuco was a major disappointment, but understandable. A person so out of control was bound to come to a violent and senseless end." -- Joseph F. McNulty

Fans this discussed their favorite DEA agent Hank Schrader and lumped praise on Breaking Bad's cast.

"I like the idea of Hank breaking bad. The whole bad cop, double cross, insider info thing. Maybe bring in some other dirty cops. I see a lot of different ways that could go. Plus I'd like to see all the internal tension in Hank's character. There's already something going off in his head." -- Walter 3

"The only sitcom I enjoy is Malcom in the Middle. Even on the sitcom (which was also the best written ever) you could see Bryan Cranston working things out in his head. That is the part I like the best about Breaking Bad. He can figure out anything. He just needs Jesse to inspire him." -- HOOKED

"The other day I was discussing Breaking Bad with my father, who is just as big a fan as I, and he reminded me that Anna Gunn's acting was also just as worthy of Emmy consideration as Bryan Cranston's and Aaron Paul's. While I hadn't realized it before, I agree completely. There are so many brilliant actors, it's hard to keep them all sorted!" -- Fulminated Mercury
