But whenever things aren't going down, the show is boring. Breaking Bad had an entire episode in one room with virtually no significant plot movement or excitement and it was one of the best episodes of the whole show. Even a heavily flawed show like Rescue Me had an episode where half the episode was the main character talking to imaginary ghosts in a bar, and it was a great moment. If Walking Dead tried that with any two of its characters in a bottle episode, I wouldn't be able to see the whole thing because 15 minutes in I would be ramming my head into the screen and getting knocked out.
