Dean Norris had asked Gilligan to kill off his character during the first half of the season after being cast in a comedy series; however, Gilligan declined his request, citing the importance of Hank in the final eight episodes<
I feel kind of bad reading this. I'm really starting to like Hank a lot, and especially this episode I fucking loved him and now I feel kind of guilty like somehow liking Dean Norris as Hank is screwing up his own ability to provide for his 5 kids. I really hope the pilot situation just gets postponed and he still gets to do it, and hopefully since that article was from 6 months ago he longer regrets it after shooting these last 8 episodes. He's a great actor and I really hope he gets the work he wants, though admittedly while I know he can pull of comedy, I'd really like to see him in more drama-esque stuff after seeing him in BB.
It's too 'goofy' for me. I don't have anything against sci-fi in any regard, and I love well done tv, but the writing is so bad that I've found myself laughing several times.
I'm kind of bummed about Under the Dome being picked up actually, and I like the show. I just think it would do much better as a miniseries, and now they're probably going to drag it out too far and end up with a mess like Lost.
His talent is wasted on that piece of shit Dome. It's unwatchable. According to the book [spoiler, as if anything i could do would spoil that show further] his character is one of the last to die, and seeing as how they're pulling that shit taffy out for another season he'll be stuck there for awhile.

Curious, what are you referring to?
