I just started watching this today, on the third episode of the first season.
I thought the plate thing was really well done. Kinda feel bad for missing out on it all but hey, at least i'm not having to wait every week.
It's a great series. You're in for a real treat.

By the way, has anyone seen this guy's Breaking Bad videos on YouTube? They're really good.
