'Because I Say So': 'Breaking Bad' and Walter White return as strong as ever

It's finally back. The best drama on television (yes, even better than "Mad Men," in my opinion) returns Sunday night at 10.

But because AMC's "Breaking Bad" left us with such a mind-blowing Season 4 finale in October, there may be some worry about Season 5 living up to unattainable expectations.

Well, there's no need to worry, little ones. Judging by the first two episodes, this final "Breaking Bad" season will be just as crazy and brilliant as all those before.

Walt is King...

Sunday night's premiere episode opens with a brief -- and deliciously bewildering -- glimpse into Walter White's future, but then quickly pops back to precisely where Season 4 left off: drug kingpin Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) is dead, Walt (Bryan Cranston) has "won," and Walt must now tie up loose ends and plan for the future.

Among the "Secrets of Eden" is that it's a bad film

During "Secrets of Eden" (8 tonight, Lifetime), there's a special effect that happens whenever star John Stamos thinks back to a past episode. The figures enter the scene in slow motion before the action comes to life.

That's how I felt watching this film; it was a slow, dull slog through a slug of a film. And the action never comes to life.

Stamos plays Pastor Stephen Drew, a beloved small-town minister in Vermont who becomes a murder suspect after a member of his church Alice Hayward (Sonya Salomaa) is found dead a few feet away from her husband, who is dead too, from a bullet in the head. Their deaths leaves daughter Kate (Samantha Munro) an orphan.
