Malcolm's Dad, er, I mean, Breaking Bad

[Reply #40 on:]

I got into this show at the start of the year and it's absolutely breath-taking. The writing's great, the performances are just amazing, and they take it to some real ballsy places. Easily one of the best things on tv right now.

Was on the edge of my seat during the Season 3 finale... Then went silent for almost a minute before exclaiming "Holy fuck!" Really interested to see where it goes next season...

[Reply #41 on:]

Just watched "Fly". The hell? This episode sucked :s

[Reply #42 on:]

It's more of a character-focussed episode, but yeah, definitely didn't need to see an entire episode of "there's a fly in the meth lab!" The 2 eps after it are brilliant though.

[Reply #43 on:]

it drug on a bit at a few points, but I liked it.

[Reply #44 on:]

I just finished season 3, I'm almost crying

[Reply #45 on:]

bump for Aaron Paul's first emmy and Cranston's third consecutive....way to go guys

[Reply #46 on:]

Just finally saw the season 3 finale, I have literally never been so on the edge of my seat. I jumped at the very end, and just sat leaning forward with my hands over my mouth gasping for air for about a minute.

[Reply #47 on:]

Season 4 premiere tonight, who's watching?

[Reply #48 on:]

I am!!! That and Curb Your Enthusiasm!!

My sister and I would always sing a little song that we made up:

Breaking Bad! Breaking Bad! Breaking Bad with Malcolm in the Middle's dad!!

[Reply #49 on:]

so glad this show's back

[Reply #50 on:]

You just know somebody is evil when they walk around and don't say anything for 10 minutes.

[Reply #51 on:]

I thought you hadn't seen season 3 yet.

I can't believe you spoiled it for yourself.

[Reply #52 on:]

Season-opener was more of the same which is good news in my book.

[Reply #53 on:]

I thought you hadn't seen season 3 yet.

I can't believe you spoiled it for yourself.

I'm not nearly as worried about spoilers as everyone else... I only half retain memories anymore, and any spoiler information I gather before seeing something is rather speculative at best.  I also have no idea when I'll see Season 3, and my sister wanted to see the premier, so that's what we did.

[Reply #54 on:]

Your sister likes Linkin Park.

[Reply #55 on:]

You wanna come over and listen to Linkin Park with us?

[Reply #56 on:]

?

Second episode was great. Walt is really gonna try to get Gus...I can only imagine the havoc this will wreak on his situation.

[Reply #59 on:]

It was purely a transitional episode in my opinion -taking us from one brilliant episode to the next, but that's fine with me. It was solid and we need the transitional episodes for the show to work.

[Reply #60 on:]

"I am the danger! I am the one who knocks!"

Brilliant.

[Reply #61 on:]

also liked that line, but it would've been coole if AMC hadn't used their "Walt is te danger" taglne in their promos

[Reply #62 on:]

I don't watch AMC often so I didn't see that. Guess I'm lucky.

[Reply #63 on:]

I've seen lots of people complain about that line but for me it was the highlight of the episode.

[Reply #64 on:]

Agreed, that whole speech was the best part of the episode. People complaining about it must be morons.

[Reply #65 on:]

Bump.

Jesse's rehab scene in the new episode... This is why I watch this show.

[Reply #66 on:]

His performance in that scene was terrific; it gave Bryan Cranston a run for his money.

[Reply #67 on:]

I also liked Hank's investigative work

[Reply #68 on:]

'Bug' was a great episode. Things are really falling into place for a killer few episodes at the end of this season.

[Reply #69 on:]

Gus is pretty cool.

[Reply #70 on:]

Giancarlo Esposito was an inspired casting choice.

[Reply #71 on:]

great episode, aside from the Skyler/Ted bullshit

[Reply #72 on:]

I are confused. Jesse hates Walt, yet he's willing to protect him?

[Reply #73 on:]

They've fallen out but he still cares for him to some degree.

I've fallen out with girlfriends and parents before, but it doesn't mean I'd be happy for someone to kill them.

[Reply #74 on:]

HOW DID GUS KNOW?!

[Reply #75 on:]

I hope they cancel this show next year.

[Reply #76 on:]

wish: Granted! Signed for fifth and final season last month.

[Reply #77 on:]

I think Walt did it.

[Reply #78 on:]

Welp, finally caught up with the rest of the season. Lots of great moments.

Disagree with tyraniak. Ted was ... incomprehensible, but I enjoyed the scenes with him and skyler, and especially the scene when the enforcers came for him.

I saw it coming, but still loved the way gus took out the cartel.

cyber_turnip, walt would be my second guess, but my first is that it was never ricin at all. Jessie jumped to that conclusion, but it was never actually confirmed. Seems unlikely it was gus; if he was 10 steps ahead as walt thinks, I doubt his spidey sense would've alerted him to trouble in the car park.

and re: the news that the next season will be the last (16 eps, so they MAY split it into 2 supposedly, which would be a shitty thing to do, but whatever), I'm quite happy about it. It's not every day a dramatic series like this gets to know this far in advance when it's going to end; should let the writers give it a satisfying conclusion. My only worry is that, knowing it's ending, they'll go too far over the top with the last arc. But even that is better than dragging it on and on until the quality goes to complete shite and the the ratings drop through the toilet.

[Reply #79 on:]

Yes, it's kind of like when the writers of Lost knew exactly when they were going to end. It allowed them to craft a well thought-out and satisfying...er...
