'Breaking Bad' rules Twitter traffic for TV series
Nielsen numbers show there's something about a high school chemistry teacher going rogue that whips up a tweet frenzy.
As chatter about "Game of Thrones" latest episode dominated social media on Monday, it appears "Breaking Bad" is still the TV king when it comes to Twitter.
A study released by Nielsen on Monday shows that the popular AMC series about a high school chemistry teacher come meth cook got more Twitter attention than any other television series over the last nine months.
On average, about 6 million people saw tweets about "Breaking Bad" during the airing of each episode and the three hours before and after. Additionally, more than 500,000 people tweeted about each show. During the "Breaking Bad" season finale last September, tweets about the series reached 9.1 million people.
"The cast was a big part of the conversation," Nielsen wrote in a blog post on Monday.
Apparently, 19,000 tweets mentioned the show's lead Bryan Cranston who played Walter White, aka Heisenberg, and a whopping 51,000 tweets mentioned actor Aaron Paul who played White's right-hand man, Jesse Pinkman.
As far as other series that were popular on Twitter over the past nine months, AMC's "The Walking Dead" came in second and ABC's "Pretty Little Liars" came in third. "The Bachelor," "Game of Thrones," and "Dancing With the Stars" also made the top 10 list.
Nielsen rolled out Twitter ratings for TV shows last October. The goal of these rankings is to measure the unique audience viewing tweets about individual programs -- in turn, this helps advertisers see what shows have the most traction with the social network's users.

'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' Director Marc Webb Discusses Film's Ending [SPOILERS]

"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" director Marc Webb talked in an interview about setting up the death of Gwen Stacy in the film.
During the interview with SuperHeroHype, Webb talked about deflecting questions about whether Gwen Stacy would die at last year's Comic-Con:
"That whole thing was a charade because everybody was trying to get us to admit it, which is annoying," Webb said. "There are some people trying to trick you into revealing something, then there's all these other people who are like, ‘You revealed too much!' You can't win."
Webb also talked about the long debate about Gwen Stacy dying in the comics.
"It's a controversial thing in the comic, certainly. People flipped the f*ck out, but it also ushered in a new era of comics. It changed Spider-Man but it changed all of comics because people took it seriously," he said. "It's like ‘Game of Thrones.' When somebody pulls out a blade, you're like, ‘I don't know what the f*ck's going to happen.' And that's important, that kind of drama. It's important that actions have consequences. I think that it's easy to lose track of the idea that these people are dealing with really dangerous elements of the universe."
He also mentioned how the story had to add Green Goblin in it to include Stacy's death.
"We were very careful to adhere to that. I think in this movie, we reverse engineered everything from that event," Webb said. "We knew that the Goblin had to do it, but who the Goblin was, I think we had some leeway because there was a precedent in the comics that Harry actually did turn into the Goblin, but we wanted to kind of withhold that. We knew if we just made him the only villain, the cat would've been out of the bag."
