Afraid of Cancellation
I absolutely love this show. This is from someone whose family has just had a loved one diagnosed at the age of 33 with stage 3 lung cancer (and who died 2 weeks ago) , and whose father is a 30+ year retired school teacher.... it is amazingly accurate... from the diagnosis with the audio hum blocking out every word to the idiot "cancer education" pamphlets and every other "published" book out there claiming to be an "authority"....feeding right into the manufactured hope for "its all about me Skyler" psyche. I literally wanted to take the talking pillow and beat her with it when I was watching Gray Matter.
This show is so great in the cerebral area of showing real science, and the well-written dark plots that I am afraid the Candy-TV addicted American public will pass this by as being "too smart". It seems like any show that makes you think gets canceled. I really hope it catches on like Six Feet Under.

Though I cannot say that I can share the same experience you've gone through, but I can tell you that from this show, I can completely feel the pressures of Walter White exactly like you are describing.
I cannot express more agreement that the show is way more appealing to me than the other junk sifting through the channels, but yet fear it is going to be passed on as too brainy for the modern day TV crowd. Even if it did, I hope it earns something at the awards. It's 5th episode only and it's already hit every aspect I mark down for a good TV show.

Why are they having the finale episode so quickly?
Six is not enough!
Huh...this got posted with out the last half of my posting...
well, in a nutshell: I wanted to know...that with the writers strike (I have great respect for you writers BTW) and with this broadcasting "new" during it, has it gotten picked up for a 2nd season?
Anyone?
@rourri: There's no word on a second season yet. We're all waiting with bated breath.
