Hard disagree. The first season was just awful.
Every fucking episode:
(Something weird happens)
“Walter! Could this be related to your research?”
(Walter acts twitchy)
“WE HAVE TO GET THIS BACK TO MY LAB!!!”
(More weirdness)
Walter: “This is just like when x in the y in 19-dickety.”
“Oh Walter! You so crazy!”
(Walter was right)
(Alien eating hot sauce)
I would love to teach again, but aside from the fact that, physically, standing and talking for 8 hours a day is outside my reach now, I would also take probably a 66% to 75% paycut to do it. :(
