Any other Breaking Bad fans in here?

One of the guys from the Breaking Good podcast used to post at SFN...anyone know if he is around the Saloon? He turned me on to his podcast and I definitely enjoyed it. Looking forward to the new season.

Any theories for the new season?

[Spoons]

Can't wait..
This being the last season, I bet Walt goes out in a blaze of glory..

[Wesmantooth]

:cheer:

[TehLivingDeath]

Can't wait..
This being the last season, I bet Walt goes out in a blaze of glory..

I think Jesse kills him.

[Spoons]

I think Jesse kills him.More than likely.
I wonder if Hank makes it through the final season. I doubt it.

[Chimney Portions]

I think Jesse kills him.

[Wesmantooth]

why does it have to end? Is this def it?

[Chimney Portions]

Yup, big fan. Can't fucking wait. And sweet, I'm definitely gonna check that podcast out.

[Chimney Portions]

why does it have to end? Is this def it?

Last 16 episodes. That's it.

[TehLivingDeath]

More than likely.
I wonder if Hank makes it through the final season. I doubt it.

... what if he kills Walt AND Jesse?

[Spoons]

The creator says so! bastard

[TehLivingDeath]

why does it have to end? Is this def it?

Because the writers/creators have pride, and don't want to ruin it. Ya know, like they did with M*A*S*H, "The Office", etc, etc.

[code of silence]

3 more days :dadance:

[Wesmantooth]

Last 16 episodes. That's it.
:bigcry:

[Spoons]

... what if he kills Walt AND Jesse?
Ha! No way no how.. There will be some idiotic twist that we don't see coming. Hank will get too close and Skyler or Walt Jr will kill him..

[Wesmantooth]

Because the writers/creators have pride, and don't want to ruin it. Ya know, like they did with M*A*S*H, "The Office", etc, etc.
I guess but its just so good. This is the right thing to do kinda like the wire going out on top of its game.

[TehLivingDeath]

Ha! No way no how.. There will be some idiotic twist that we don't see coming. Hank will get too close and Skyler or Walt Jr will kill him..

Shit, that would definitely be a fucking twist.

[Kamie]

Best show currently on tv - hands down, and maybe the best ever. And yes it is going to end. Vince Gilligan had a vision for the show and he is sticking to it. As much as I hate to see the show go, he has balls for sticking to his guns and finishing on top, which they will no doubt do. They are prolonging the end, though. I want to say that the last season will have 13 or 18 shows, and they are going to split it. Half this summer, and the rest in 2013.

I have to qualify my statement by saying that it is the best show on tv if you don't include AGT in the mix, with AGT, of course, being the best show of ALL TIME.

[code of silence]

Ha! No way no how.. There will be some idiotic twist that we don't see coming. Hank will get too close and Skyler or Walt Jr will kill him..

:weird:

[TehLivingDeath]

I guess but its just so good. This is the right thing to do kinda like the wire going out on top of its game.

And you fucking KNOW they're gonna go out with a goddamn bang. Everyone learned their lesson from the "Sopranos" finale.

[TehLivingDeath]

:weird:

Fuck yeah, bud! Walt Jr will clench his screwed-up jaw, and beat Hank to death with one of his cuffed crutches.

Side note: Anyone else want to kick the crutches out from under that annoying little fucker?

[Spoons]

And you fucking KNOW they're gonna go out with a goddamn bang. Everyone learned their lesson from the "Sopranos" finale.
I was just going to bring that up, worst ending ever. Although, the Sopranos had been on a steady decline for a few seasons IMO anyway.

[Wesmantooth]

is there anyway that Gus is not dead?

[TehLivingDeath]

is there anyway that Gus is not dead?

Naw. And those writers wouldn't take a lazy approach like that, either.

[Spoons]

Fuck yeah, bud! Walt Jr will clench his screwed-up jaw, and beat Hank to death with one of his cuffed crutches.

Side note: Anyone else want to kick the crutches out from under that annoying little fucker?
NO shit, I can't watch that fucker eat another breakfast. I keep waiting for him to choke on a short stack.

[TehLivingDeath]

Ok, quick question, since lazy writing has been mentioned. Anyone here watch "Dexter"? I know last season was kind of a dud, which makes me wonder if the cliffhanger is another one of Deb's stupid dream sequences...

[chuk]

I have to qualify my statement by saying that it is the best show on tv if you don't include AGT in the mix, with AGT, of course, being the best show of ALL TIME.

AGT is the #1 non-meth show.

[Wesmantooth]

Naw. And those writers wouldn't take a lazy approach like that, either.
so now then we need a new antagonist - Heisenberg?

[Jon Hein is God]

Ok, quick question, since lazy writing has been mentioned. Anyone here watch "Dexter"? I know last season was kind of a dud, which makes me wonder if the cliffhanger is another one of Deb's stupid dream sequences...

She wasn't dreaming.

[TehLivingDeath]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kXqEpXcOQc&feature=plcp

Well, that clears up that question. Thanks!

[TehLivingDeath]

so now then we need a new antagonist - Heisenberg?

...howzat?

[Spoons]

Looking forward to lots this fall.. Dexter, SoA and Walking Dead

[TehLivingDeath]

Looking forward to lots this fall.. Dexter, SoA and Walking Dead

Yes, very good TV. Finally.

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

Fuck yeah, bud! Walt Jr will clench his screwed-up jaw, and beat Hank to death with one of his cuffed crutches.

Side note: Anyone else want to kick the crutches out from under that annoying little fucker?

Hey, he's nowhere nearly as bad as Nancy Botwin's son, Shane, on Weeds. That little dude's a murderer!

[TehLivingDeath]

Hey, he's nowhere nearly as bad as Nancy Botwin's son, Shane, on Weeds. That little dude's a murderer!

I've never seen Weeds. Should I?

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

Ok, quick question, since lazy writing has been mentioned. Anyone here watch "Dexter"? I know last season was kind of a dud, which makes me wonder if the cliffhanger is another one of Deb's stupid dream sequences...
It fucking better not be and they'd better also not make Deb cover for him. That's competely inconsistent with her character.

Dexter's gonna have to kill her. Anything else and I don't think I'll watch the show anymore.

[Spoons]

I've heard from a few that Shameless is good, but I refuse to addict myself to another show..

[TehLivingDeath]

It fucking better not be and they'd better also not make Deb cover for him. That's competely inconsistent with her character.

I think they need to make this season the final one.

[TehLivingDeath]

I've heard from a few that Shameless is good, but I refuse to addict myself to another show..

Same here. And I don't even have cable/dish.

[Spoons]

It fucking better not be and they'd better also not make Deb cover for him. That's competely inconsistent with her character.

Dexter's gonna have to kill her. Anything else and I don't think I'll watch the show anymore.I agree, she's gotta go.

I still miss Doakes!

Walt should kill everyone and then move over to Weeds on Showtime.

Walter v. Nancy Botwin.

Nancy: 3 kids, 3 different fathers, two of whom died, violently.

Don't fuck with the Weeds Widow. She's lucky enough to outsmart Walter...or she'll marry him. That'll get him killed. :jj:

[Kamie]

This. The first few seasons were really great, but the past few - the last one in particular - were ponderous, dude. Ponderous. They should make it their last season.

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

I've never seen Weeds. Should I?
It's nowhere nearly as awesome as Breaking Bad, but it's good. They have the same moments where you're like "Now HOW the fuck is she gonna get away with THAT?"

...and she does. :jj:

Summary: suburban housewife's husband suddenly drops dead from a heart-attack and she's left to raise her two kids by herself so she does what any newly single mom does: she sells pot. :jj:

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

I think they need to make this season the final one.
It should've been 2 seasons ago when he was the Bay Butcher. That shit was unbelievable.

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

I agree, she's gotta go.

I still miss Doakes!

http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/296/441/24a.jpg
I miss the show from back then. I actually feared Doakes for Dexter. :jj:

[Wesmantooth]

I've never seen Weeds. Should I?
fisrt couple seasons were pretty good but its been on a major decline barely watched half of last season

[Vashier]

I just started watching on netflicks the weekend before the 4th and watched all 4 seasons just finishing up a coupe days ago. I can't wait for the 15th. :cheer: I have the dvr set to record all the new episodes. I found a great site that has most if not all episodes on it. With the no sharing of sites rule send me a pm if anyone needs to catch up on ones they missed from season 4 which NF doesn't seem to have.

how funny woudl that be! take the same character and have him go on a rampage on another show

[TehLivingDeath]

This. The first few seasons were really great, but the past few - the last one in particular - were ponderous, dude. Ponderous. They should make it their last season.

And enough with the season-long guest stars. We all fucking know that they're going to throw a wrench in Dexter's wheels, and that he'll kill them in the season finale. :coffee:

I may have to check it out this winter.

Yeah, that was edge-of-the-seat television.

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

Damn you! I just added it to my streaming queue.

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

for some reason, Netflix is making season 4 available on July 15, the same day it premieres. Maybe you can quickly catch up on Season 4 and then DVR the premiere??

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

"My boyfriend's a serial killer." :facepalm:

[TehLivingDeath]

Damn you! I just added it to my streaming queue.

That's the British version, btw. There's a US version starring William H Macy that's only done one season, IIRC.

[Kamie]

Oh, totally forgot about her.

Yea, and she is the one the ruined Michael C Hall's marriage to Jennifer what's her name (Deb). They had some sort of on-set affair. Her face is flat.

[drsieb]

I've never seen Weeds. Should I?

The first few seasons are much better than the later seasons. It's not a bad show...only 30 minutes, so if you don't like it, it's not like you have to invest a lot of time into it.

Plus the lead chick is pretty hot and skanks it up throughout the show...mary parker or something like that...

[TehLivingDeath]

I saw a pic of those two (Dexter and Deb) a few months ago, and they were all sorts of lovey-dovey.

[Kamie]

I saw a pic of those two (Dexter and Deb) a few months ago, and they were all sorts of lovey-dovey.

Yea, me too. Strange, because I think they are divorced but have reconciled. She stuck with him through the cancer and everything and then he took up with fucking flat-faced Lumen.

[Chimney Portions]

Umm, nope.

Oh, thanks! Turns out it's the British version that's available for instant streaming on netflix. The one with William H Macy is only available by snail-mail disc.

[drsieb]

Umm, nope.

http://images.nymag.com/images/2/daily/2011/10/10_gustavodemise.gif

I love it. Could watch that all day.

[kicksave7]

I have to agree with everyone about this show being the best show on TV...better written and cast than the Sopranos. The writing, the acting, the production, just about everything is top notch. I hope AMC has some other shows in the works that are as good, if not better, than this show. It's hard to watch network TV after watching shows like this, Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, etc...

Do you watch Mad Men? Totally different but really great. I also like Justified on FX a helluva lot. Great acting, GREAT writing. And there is a British show called Luther starring Idris Elba (the Wire, Prometheus). You can watch it on Netflix. It is fucking awesome. I would highly recommend that.

[Spoons]

Umm, nope.

When he first walked out of that room.. We were all like.. Hell NO!!!!!! then the camera panned..

I cannot wait for Sunday! Heisenberg's gonna fuck shit UP! :cheer:

P.S. I have had a crush on Bryan Cranston since his Dr. Tim Whatley days.... :o

Mad Men is good, but it's not great. I think the only reason that show won the emmy for best show for the last 4 years is a combination of the set design, wardrobe and authenticity of the time period.

Other than that, the writing is good, the acting is good, but it's nothing that makes you say "holy fuck!" like Breaking Bad does.

Breaking Bad's a pretty tough act to follow.

I watch Mad Men and thought it was the best show until this last season...big let down this season. The "hiatus" Matt Weiner took to to renegotiate his contract (something he did when he was head writer on Sopranos that caused that show to stop production for months) made the writing and flow of the episodes suffer. I hope that next season will be better.

[Chimney Portions]

When he first walked out of that room.. We were all like.. Hell NO!!!!!! then the camera panned..

It was spoiled for me unfortunately...I was late to the game. But I can still recognize how brilliant that scene was shot. I hate to use the word "brilliant" so freely, but it really was. In a few seconds you were immediately tricked into being falsely disappointed, then disgusted and repulsed by the reality and then you got to savor Walt's victory as soon as you processed it all. So fucking good.

I hate when people put The Walking Dead in the same league as Breaking Bad. Not even close.

I kind of disagree about Mad Men. I really love the show and the acting, but you are correct in that the set design and wardrobe are a huge component, almost like another actor. I would agree that it is no Breaking Bad, but if you are going to change the channel and you have a choice between Mad Men and AGT, well......:)

Breaking Bad's a pretty tough act to follow.I've been watching SoA since the beginning, I only recently got turned on to BB.. I always thought SoA was the best on TV, until I saw BB...

I know what you're saying. This season was a bit uneven, and for some reason I HATE Meagan. I don't even know why. But it is still one of the better shows on TV. No AGT, but it's right up there.

[Chimney Portions]

Breaking Bad's a pretty tough act to follow.

I was spoiled. I don't watch TV and I haven't watched a drama since The Sopranos. Earlier in the year I decided to give BB a chance and blew through all four seasons in a couple weeks. Then season one of Game of Thrones in a matter of days. A week later Season 2 premiered.

Having experienced both of those shows, my TV viewing standards are now set way too high.

[Dawg]

I will be watching :cheer:

Another one I have avoided thus far is Boardwalk Empire..

The Walking Dead is nothing more than brain candy. One of those shows you can watch whilst semi-shitfaced, because you know it doesn't require a whole lot of attention.


I've been watching SoA since the beginning, I only recently got turned on to BB.. I always thought SoA was the best on TV, until I saw BB...

Same here. As a tattooed, long-haired biker, SoA was my Holy Grail. But it's never going to reach the greatness of BB.

Well, January Jones (the actress who plays Betty Draper, Don's ex-wife) has been interviewed, saying that AMC is "notoriously cheap" so it doesn't surprise me that Matt Weiner had to play hardball with them.

[Chimney Portions]

Game of Thrones, another show I have been avoiding.. for the addiction factor. :facepalm:
Another one I have avoided thus far is Boardwalk Empire..

The Game of Thrones addiction factor is insane. You're probably smart to avoid it. I loved every second of it to the point where I started listening to the audiobooks after season 2 ended. More than that, I find myself going to fucking GOT wiki sites to read up on imaginary battles and genealogy of characters named Rhaegar and Daenerys Targaryen. :facepalm:

And I'm not even a fantasy nerd. I never played D&D, never saw any of the Lord of the Rings movies. None of that. The show is just that good.

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

I've been watching SoA since the beginning, I only recently got turned on to BB.. I always thought SoA was the best on TV, until I saw BB...Funny. I couldn't get through the first two episodes of Sons of Anarchy. I mean, I tried, mainly because I love Katey Segal, but that show was just insufferably boring to me. Did something happen around episode 3 or 4 that made you go WHOA!? 'Cause if not?

I'll have to pass on that one.

[Crazy Marcus]

Game of Thrones, another show I have been avoiding.. for the addiction factor. :facepalm:

game of thrones is on 10 hours a year i wouldnt worry about being addicted it isn't much of a time commitment.

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

Another great show (if you've never caught it) and would like to zip through it on netflix is Battlestar Galactica.

I know, I know. Lots of people were disappointed with the ending, but if you aren't waiting a week in between episodes, you won't be bothered by the ending. In fact, you'll love it.

that's actually my favorite show of the past (say...) 15 years on television.

SoA does get a lot better but if you hated it than i wouldnt bother going back to watch it. Justified is a better FX show if you haven't seen that.

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

:lol:

It does suck that the cable channels can't afford the standard 22-episode seasons that the networks churn out.

[Chimney Portions]

The Walking Dead is nothing more than brain candy. One of those shows you can watch whilst semi-shitfaced, because you know it doesn't require a whole lot of attention.

The shame is the comics are/were so fucking good. It's actually really smart and was able to really fuck with you and get you emotionally invested in the characters. Now it's reduced to a sloppy, melodramatic borefest with shitty CGI. And I want every single character to die.

You have a decent budget, excellent source material and zombies...how the hell can you fuck that up? Yet they managed. And, yet, I'll be watching season 3 like the dope that I am, hoping it gets salvaged.

[Chimney Portions]

The problem is the time between those ten episodes. Waiting 40+ weeks for more GOT goodness fucking sucks.

Two other shows I liked that were from graphic novels are Painkiller Jane (Kristanna Loken) and Jeremiah (<--which ended abruptly because the network dicked around the creator of the show).

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

SoA does get a lot better but if you hated it than i wouldnt bother going back to watch it. Justified is a better FX show if you haven't seen that.
It's in my queue, but the sucky queue: the "snail mail" queue. Discs only for that series. :pissed:

[BethsZygote]

Here is my opinion.

The show will end with a final battle between Walt and Jessie.

Walt was a worm, who always got fucked over, was over educated and under appreciated. Walt has 'evolved'

Jessie was a fuck up druggie, who has now 'evolved'

Walt is 'breaking bad'. The question is who else will he have to destory to 'save' himself. Where does it end?

I REALLY hope they bring back Gus. He obviously died, but that wouldnt prevent them from using him in 'flashbacks', where they could continute to explain the backstory between him and Salamanca

http://thesuperslice.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Tio.jpg

i never thought some deserved an Emmy for ringing a bell.

There's a Painkiller Jane show? With the T-X chick?? Shit I'm really out of the loop.

The cancellation aspect is a big reason I stay away from TV all together. The possibility of an abrupt ending ruins any chance to invest in it. At least with GOT, if it gets cancelled, the story will be concluded in The Songs of Fire and Ice.

Painkiller Jane was a show from 5 years ago. It's available for streaming on netflix. I've loved Kristianna Loken since her first t.v. show (a horrible, HARRRRRIBLE show), called Mortal Kombat: Konquest.

There's definitely more to Gus than we are told. The show eluded to it and I imagine it will play a big role in the story somehow.

A battle between Walt and Jessie is inevitable. The Lily of the Valley in Walt's backyard suggests some pretty heavy shit. We can predict whether or not Walt will survive the series, but I think the more interesting question is will he even remain a protagonist?

[Crazy Marcus]

10 hours plus another 20 hours figuring out what the fuck just happened, and who the fuck are all those new people (Wikipedia helps).

i wait until a couple days before the finale and watch all the GoT episodes back to back. makes it a lot easier to understand for me at least. if i watched 1 hour a week like most people i would forget who everyone is.

(a horrible, HARRRRRIBLE show), called Mortal Kombat: Konquest.

I saw some of that shit. HARRRRRIBLE indeed.

Did you ever check out that Mortal Kombat Legacy series on Youtube? That original mock trailer looked so badass, but I wasn't feeling the actual episodes that spawned from it. Much, much better than Konquest tho'.

Really?? I never had any problem figuring anything out. The only time I'd go to Wiki was when I was too eager to wait and wanted to read back stories and read some minor spoilers.

I hear a lot of people saying that tho'. That it was confusing or too expansive to keep track of.

one thing is for sure, they can fuck up this ending VERY easily. Walt gets busted by the DEA, crime doesnt pay, the end.

Maybe Q orders his daughter exhumed and they find out she couldnt have shot herself up...

The writing's been too consistent for that, I think. I know a lot of people could say the same about the Sopranos ending (which I eventually loved btw) but I'm really not worried about Breaking Bad going off the rails. I don't even want to think about that.

Walter slips on the eyeball from the Teddy Bear and breaks his neck. Hank and Jesse get killed by Mike in a set-up. The series ends with Mike walking his granddaughter to Los Hermanos for Tacos.

Did you ever check out that Mortal Kombat Legacy series on Youtube? That original mock trailer looked so badass, but I wasn't feeling the actual episodes that spawned from it. Much, much better than Konquest tho'.Of course I checked it out. Jeri Ryan from Star Trek: Voyager plays Sonya Blade and Tahmoh Penikett ("Helo") from BSG plays Curtis Stryker. But, like you, I was too lazy to stay with it.

It's a complete reboot of the story so that sort of also affected my attention span.

I never liked any of the Mortal Kombat stuff. I loved the games as a kid/teenager, but that first movie was a huge disappointment. I knew it was PG13, but I figured there'd be some form of cool fatalities. Nope.

The MK legacy vids seemed like they'd be a cool, dark, gritty take on the franchise, but it got just as silly as the previous attempts.

Yeah, you need beaucoup production bucks to do anything Mortal Kombat-related well. Otherwise, it just comes off like a bad 1970s Kung Fu flick.

I was actually hoping they'd cut back on the action. Sounds silly, but the 7-ish trailer that Michael Jai White was behind seemed kind of cool. The MK characters set in a a dark crime drama setting.

That didn't last long.

Funny how I used to fucking hate Michael Jai White. Then I saw Black Dynamite and he won me over big time. I love that movie.

[Estocada]

I agree so much-shorter and fucking great is so much better than longer and medicore. Not that the show is 'realistic', but there are only so many life and death entanglements you can get through before the audience stops giving a fuck.




Because the writers/creators have pride, and don't want to ruin it. Ya know, like they did with M*A*S*H, "The Office", etc, etc.

[Spoons]

Actually, I think she's an excellent cop. She just has a blind spot when it comes to Dexter.

Doakes, now? Nothing got past that muthafucka. He was the tits.So, if she has a blind spot when it comes to dear brother.. Does he talk her into not turning him in? How does she go along with this?

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

I was actually hoping they'd cut back on the action.Well yeah, you cut back on the action if it's being done poorly or if it's all the movie turns into. If it's just one fight after the other, it's not a movie. It's a dance recital, with all of the planned, choreographed fight moves. :jj:

[FlaFlaFlunkie]

So, if she has a blind spot when it comes to dear brother.. Does he talk her into not turning him in? How does she go along with this?
Prediction? She'll go into denial over the whole "wrapped up in a plastic on an altar" thing and buy it for now, but it will keep eating at her and then she'll remember all the Bay Harbor Butcher's victims and how they were found in similar plastic. The inner turmoil will build and she'll be faced with arresting/killing him. Then, Dexter will kill her. :jj:

I'm really curious as to how they wrap this series up. We know we have this season and 1 more season after this.. I would imagine, next season has to be the last. How much longer can he keep killing? (or how much longer can he keep killing and it be interesting?)

I feel the best way to end the show would be for him to get caught and go on the run, then get caught, tried and thrown in prison and then...ESCAPE!, settle down and retire. The last episode ends with him as a 60-something-year-old man, relaxing in a rocking chair on a porch on a house, somewhere in middle America...with bodies buried in the yard. :jj:

Right. Or, they start feeling the need to outdo themselves every episode, and it just because totally unrealistic. Like ER had a penchant for doing.

Hey, for those of you who've watched all the Sons of Anarchy episodes, I have a question I'll mark in spoiler tags: I'd like to know if at any point during the show, there's an undercover FBI or other agent in deep cover with them. If that's the case, please let me know in which season or episode this type of storyline starts.

Thanks!

On a long drive back from lincoln nebraska this week i listened to an old npr interview with ap.... He said his pinkman character was suppossed to b killed off in season 1, but they didnt do it because of his on screen chemistry with walter white.. he also mentioned that his character is basically on the chopping block at any time...

Also.... Read in ew this week that there is a very real possibilty of a saul spin-off show... Fuck ya!

I loved Sons of Anarchy Season 1 and 2.

But then they went to Ireland in Season 3 and I got bored and stopped watching.

So about 3 weeks ago, I sucked it up and made it through the Ireland episodes and now I'm plowing through Season 4, which is quite good.

So what did everyone make of the very beginning,
Where Walt is in the Denny's 52nd birthday? Buying the guns, this is what, the end of the series? Is he buying the gun for a final showdown with Jessie? I always assumed he is going to die at the end of the series

Hiding for anyone that may not have watched yet..

They've actually got several different pages, and yeah they're still up. The links on Saul's are pretty funny. My son even called the number, and the menu you get is pretty funny.

So, yeah. Aaron got a reprieve from the chopping block due to the writers' strike.

in the last episode last scene what was walt referring to about victor and him cooking the batch on his own? I dont remember that being the reason Gus slit his throat.....???

I vaguely remember but wasn't it something about Walt refusing too cook before he spoke to Gus and Victor just started doing the cook with Jesse and their batch came out at 92% or some shit instead of 98 or 99% I could be way off

oh yea now I recall u r right. walt was talking shit and victor just stepped up and did it like nothing....but I do not remember him going out on his own 'flying to close to the sun' as walt referred..maybe it was implied when gus killed him

I always forget shit in previous seasons

[Jon Hein is God]

So I spent the past two weeks rewatching Seasons 1 through 3.

And what's striking is that everybody looks a lot older from Season 3.

I mean, a really lot older.

Skyler has aged a lot.

She used to look hot.

Now she's looking like she hit the wall.

Jesse also looked like a young 20-something dude.

Now he looks a lot older, especially with the shaved head.

Yeah, I know people age.

But considering it's been less than a year since the pilot, it's shocking how much they've aged.

Perhaps you can blame the stress of the meth business.

[jrstinkfish]

The series is really missing Gus. It's still great, but with one of the best villains in TV history gone, they're really having to do a Stern-esque "slow build" this season to develop another antagonist. I have the feeling that 8 episodes isn't going to do a whole lot, and we're gonna be left hanging (more than usual) almost an entire year for the last 8.

[HorseVsPelican]

I have a feeling Mike will meet his demise soon.

[BethsZygote]

I thought Victor was killed because he was seen by people at Gales apartment...

He had another "because i say so" moments in this last episode too.

That would be awesome. It's time for Mad Men to step aside. I love Mad Men but Breaking Bad was a far superior show this go-round. And Gus is the shit. He is some scary fucking villain. And to the other post, I am glad that Mike has a bigger stole this season. I love mink. Seriously, I really like the Mike character.

That's great! And I forgot about the cousins. They were fucking hard-core. And their boots....I am no fan of cowboy boots, but I would wear the shit out of those. I work in a corporate tax department, and I would totally wear that shit to work. I'd get fired, but I'd wear them.

And thanks for the link to the interview. The only sad thing is that his new show is on NBC, so that means it will get cancelled.

The Dexter books went South after the very first one and the tv creators wisely chose to not follow any of the books after the first. Most of the books are really bad.

The TV Dexter writing the last 2 seasons has now sunk to the level of the books.

I read the first book only. It was entertaining. The season where I started to get bored was the one with Julia Stiles. "Lumen". Stupid name, flat face. She looks like Wood Yi.

I never gave up on the Soprano's either, I should have stopped watching that 3 seasons in...

WINST! I understand that a feature film could happen, according to Vince Gilligan, the showrunner. He also expressed interest in a spin-off featuring Saul which would be great. I love Bob Odenkirk since the Mr. Show days.

"I love the idea of it, and I learned a long time ago, 'Never say never.' But I have to say that my writers and I intend to tell ever bit of story we can tell in this final sixteen. So, at this moment in time, I would say that the odds are a bit remote. If we were - a year or two down the line - think of something else we could do, or if there's anyone else left standing when the dust is cleared, who knows? Your guess is as good as mine at this point."

It's my dumb iPad.

[vaginapoosie]

He'll plant it in her cigarette pack and Walt jr will smoke it. :coffee:

my theory since like the beginning of the last season has always been this:

the show will have a somewhat surprising, tragic ending. the writers are way too smart to deliver anything cliche' or expected, like walt sr. dying in a shootout (as the misdirection of the SCARFACE blurb alluded to last episode) or of cancer. my theory is that walt will NOT die at the end of the series. this show will be a chronicle of his rise to the top as a drug kingpin, kinda like how ROSEANNE ended the series with her writing in her journal (although in that show everything was fabricated like in DALLAS).

anyway my theory is along the lines of what you are saying about walt jr. walt jr. is going to die due to something walt sr. did and it will be by accident. his wife will leave him or turn him in or whatever along with the baby. although, it could also go that someone else offs skyler (perhaps ted will put a hit out? i don't trust that guy at all). either way, his family will no longer be his family at some point.

any which way you slice it, i feel like it's either going to end by walt sr. having no one and having fully turned into keyser soze type character, OR it's going to end with walt sr. and jesse facing off and jesse having to be forced to kill walt for whatever reason. however, i really don't see that happening simply because it's too predictable. so would be a hank vs. walt sr. ending (UNLESS walt sr. kills hank!). i know the ending will end up being sad, but i think the saddest thing would be for walt sr. to have fully transformed into heisenberg and having no family left (either by death or by alienation), which was the very thing he tried to protect by starting up the meth business from the get-go.

That's the ending that makes the most sense to me.

Walt ends up the survivor while completely destroying his family with the business he created to protect his family after he thought he would soon be dead.

That was always my impression.
Inside the cigarette was just a place that could be carried with him all over and they didn't think would be searched/found..also making
it easily accessible for use etc. (...although it could have been sewn into his clothing..even though IMO..Mike and Gus would probably
be smart enough to have Jesse change clothes and to supply him with whatever else he needed...cigarettes etc...but then you're
also getting into the various trust issues that were at play in the storyline..on all sides.)

[Winst]

i see it being more of a Hank vs Walt thing to end this final season

Which part of the final season?....the first eight episodes or the second eight next summer?

Have they announced if the first eight episodes will end with some sort of a mid-season cliffhanger of
some sort? I'd assume that it most probably will.
..and that might be a moment for a big Hank related something or other.

It's always surprised me that Hank doesn't have Jesse tailed like a beast...even with all of the various legal
issues that are involved.

[KjCarson]

Skylar was down for the cause when she saw all the Benjamins rolling in. As soon as her clumsy, jump off douche Ted cracks his skull, she's got a puss on. Walt kills Gus to save his family and she's all "Wahhhh, I'm living with a killer, wahhh!" Fuck her. Walt might have to go full measure on her goofy ass.

I like how Mike broke shit down to the exterminators. Like a Boss! Sadly a face off between Mike and Walt is inevitable.

Ok, motherfuckers, let's discuss this episode.

Fuck N A.

That was cool.

So, instead of sleeping, I've been reading reviews of last night's episode.

Some were blown away, saying it's the best episode of the season.

Some say it was harrible, that BB jumped the shark, especially with all the plot holes.

But I think I've read enough rebuttals to the plot holes that I can accept last night's episode (toss them up, I'll try to swat them down).

I'm sort of in the middle.

The problem is that I usually watch BB at 7 pm, when it first airs.

But there was a fuckload of TV last night, from Roseanne Roast to Ryan Seacrest co-hosting the Olympic closing ceremony.

And I couldn't get to the episode till midnight.

By then, I had encountered tweets by people saying shit like "How could Landry do that?" and "Holy fuck."

And I was spoiled that something big was going to happen, so when it happened, it didn't real blow my mind away.

The best show on tv, hands down. Maybe the best ever. However, I thought that the most recent episode was a bit weak by BB standards. It just seemed a little over-the-top, Great Train Robbery-ish, if that makes sense. The end was great, but since they foreshadowed the event in the beginning, it wasn't much of a shock.

when they use foreshadowing they need to do it like they did with the plane crash. I swore there was an explosion at walt's coming until the planes smacked each other. Showing the kid trap the spider then get offed by Todd in the same episode was weak sauce...but then again, so was a train robbery where a truck showing up almost ruins the plan. A fucking flat tire would have accomplished the same thing without a chance for a good sam to stumble upon the robbery. It's not like you can jack up a 10 wheeler and pop on a spare.

^ This. The plane crash and the foreshadowing around it was done so well. I thought there'd be an explosion as well!! I felt that this time it was a play from the "foreshadowing for dummies" handbook.

[GatGirl69]

For me BB is as good as Battlestar Galactica. I only hope it doesn't end as shitty.

I personally think that Jr. is going to die in a car accident.

Say what you want about Skylar, the broad playing her (Anna Gunn?) is hitting it out of the park EVERY scene. Whenever she told Walt she was waiting for his cancer to come back I finally got all of her passive aggressive smoking around the house. I also think it was easier for Skylar to accept their new life style when her family wasn't in danger. The reality that Gus was going to kill her family changed everything for her.

[jrstinkfish]

We sat there in silence for a few moments after the initial "OH MY GOD!" moment at the end (my lady actually shed tears and said, "I haven't felt this way since Rita..." ... Dexter fans know what I mean). I really thought Landry was undercover, but that is exactly what they wanted us to believe, so him shooting that kid was twice as shocking when it happened. Funny how a TV show full of fictional characters in fictional situations can hang a 50-pound weight of dread around your neck for days. I still feel awful, mostly for Jesse ... and he's a god damn TV character! Ugh.

[Mutt Sucks]

Well, that boy's death will start to unravel everything fast. Key element--that Walt told Skyler he was going to rob a train. Alburquerque police start investigating a missing boy who was out riding his dirt bike around the train trestle. They may get rid of the body...and the bike, but they can't cover up the boy's tires marks from the very beginning, his footprints from where he got off his bike to get the spider.

Police will talk to the trainmen and find out that they had an unscheduled stop b/c of a stalled dirt truck. They'll inquire about what was on the train. They'll discover the diluted methlyamine. DEA enters the picture.

Skyler will hear on the news about a boy who went missing around the train tracks and that asks anyone who saw him to call an 800 number. Skyler will pick up the phone to make the call cuz she believes Walt the Danger had something to do with this and he is truly a monster.

Meanwhile...Lydia decides to seek an "immunity-type deal" that'll grant her and her child witness protection.

I think the business about the tradition of the birthday age being written with bacon, a couple shows in, as a family tradition was sort of telling. Thinking back about the opening scene of the season with Walt dark and down remembering the tradition and doing it ALONE to his own pancakes. This means the family is long gone and he is now a one many army after buying the M60. What happens after he shuts the trunk is anyone's guess, either he's going to rescue what's left of his family, or the DEA is on his tail??

Well, whatever it is, it will be bad. The showrunner Vince Gilligan has said that Walt is going to do something so awful this season that it will be virtually impossible for people to empathize with him afterward.

That's the one where Rita died, right? I was so glad that Lithgow fucking killed her. I hated Rita. I don't know why but she really pissed me off. She was sooooo amaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzingggggg and perfect, like Beth. I'll bet she didn't shit either.
