    Satisfied, but sad with the news. Such a good show deserves a great ending, but, as fan, it would go forever.

    This practically made me jump for joy after all the crap that's been going on lately.

    Glad to hear this as the show should not be dragged out.

    They better not pull a SyFy and cut down the order.

    Splitting it up would be unpleasant (but would make sense monetarily). I wonder if this means bigger budget over 1 season, or reduced budget over 2.

    I was wondering about that too - last year's per episode budget compared to this years. Did they keep the season budget the same but add 3 episodes or did they increase the budget by 23%?

    That's excellent news. Exactly what I was hoping for.

    Great, 16 more episodes sounds like a good deal even though spreading it over 2 years could hurt a little bit.

    Sutter is dead wrong. AMC tried to screw all their shows and force them to take budget cuts, even Mad Men. The difference is that Mad Men is produced by Lionsgate and Breaking Bad by Sony and they've helped to avoid cuts. AMC produces The Walking Dead, so they could--and unfortunately did--whatever they wanted.

    I'm not surprised it worked out just fine--exactly like the Mad Men negotiations. Now both shows avoided cuts and can end when both showrunners want them to end. Mad Men can close out the 60's, Breaking Bad can avoid overstaying its welcome and can plan its endgame. That's great, both shows deserved this. But AMC should still take a close look in the mirror and ask themselves if it was acceptable how they've treated their shows.

    It's better to finish the show in style than to prolong it no matter how long. And let's hope that it will make room for another great show from AMC.

    I don't realy like this news.
    There were 2 options (as Walt used to say^^):
    Option A which would go with Vince Gilligans idead: one more season of 13 episodes
    Option B (my wishful thinking) two more season of 13 episodes (I believe Cranston wished that as well)

    16 episodes is ok fot the final season, but planing to split them over 2 TV years is bad, realy realy bad idea.
