Breaking Bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Wow, what a great show!
- Thread starter Adriana✿
- Start date
As far as I remember the creator of the show said that he imagined the show to last 4 seasons from the start and it is going to stay that way.
Wow! Sooooo good. Can you believe how genius this show is. "One minute just blew me away". Best Tv I have ever seen. You need to wear seatbelts watching this show. Brilliant!
Poor Jess, he has been thru so much, its a wonder he is sane. I am so glad the devils are dead, damn they just chilled my blood. Soooo scary.
I can't wait for next sunday! This is the first time I want to buy an entire dvd set just so I can make everyone I know watch it.
I was hooked on this show about 5 seconds into the first episode, when Walt was racing the RV through the desert, wearing a gasmask, apron and his tighty whiteys, I had to see what the hell was going on.
The Sopranos is the only show that stacks up as far as writing and cinematography go. Each shot is like a work of art.
Although Walt is the main character, we have seen most of the other characters "Break Bad" in their own way... Hank's recent bar fight and attack on Jesse, Marie's shoplifting, Skylar banging her boss and accepting the "dirty money", Jane going back to her heroin habit, Gus setting up the Cousins by sending them after Hank and then warning him that they were coming.
Throughout it all Jesse keeps trying to "Break Good", but Walt unwittingly keeps pulling him deeper into the dark side.
The next few episodes will be amazing. The noose is definitely getting tighter around Walt's neck as all the different players get more involved with each other. I assume the guy that Hank hit with his car will survive and tell the Cartel Boss what happened, and they will figure out that Gus set them up. Then all hell will break loose. Hank's close call could also be the final straw that pushes Skylar to tell Marie what Walt is up to.
Every week between episodes feels like a year! Can't wait to see what happens next.

It is very likely that Skylar will first offer monetary help to Marie, who willingly accepts. Then Marie finds out about the secret of Walt. But she couldnt tell Hank. Maybe...

Anybody seen the last episode ("Abiquiu")? I thought it was one of the best episodes of the show.
I enjoyed that Skyler had not filed for divorce and then became an accomplice to Walt's money laundering ("married couples can't be compelled to testify against one another ... so there's that."). The rest of the show was just pure gold from character interaction point of view: Jesse & Jane, Jesse & Andrea, Gus & Walt, Saul & Skyler, Marie & Hank, ...
The funniest part was Saul's line when he first met Skyler: "Clearly Walt's taste in women is the same as his taste in lawyers: only the best, with just the right amount of dirty"

Ya, that line was great, no doubt! The funniest part is...Skyler looks like a dirty overthehill skank...let's be honest here...Anybody seen the last episode ("Abiquiu")? I thought it was one of the best episodes of the show.

Me, too! Skylar is stunning, incredibly attractive to me! Inthebum is just trying to get a reaction out of us LOL
I LOVED the last episode! I can't stop laughing, every time I think of that scene, where Jessie tries to get his friends to sell drugs to the people in NA. LOL And then when they can't sell to anyone, they don't want to leave because they are following the steps; getting sober!!! HILARIOUS!
ooooh can't wait for tomorrow!!!

Respectfully I will need to disagree with you and SNL. Skylar does Zippo for me.Adriana✿;1028118 said:
Disagree about "Fly" -- I honestly thought it was rivetting. Funny, and revealing about just how messed up both Walt and Jesse are.
It seems "Fly" was one of those episodes that split the fans. People either loved it or hated it, there was no middle ground.
I LOVE Breaking Bad.
I've watched it for a while now...downloaded when it first came out, but then had to wait for the second season to drop after lots of money spent advertising. I couldn't wait...my patience was being tried!
Brian Cranston has been directing a lot if not all, this season (3), as the show was getting dropped otherwise. (so far as I know...not willing to google and verify.)
This show is just crazy-ass riveting, captivating, brilliant, exciting, funny, dark, twisted...my favorite mix!!!
Nina, I didn't like 'The Fly' episode either. I watched the trailers tho, and it makes sense...when in rome. However, it was just a lot slower than most episodes are, and I love the fast paced tv, where you don't know what is ever going to happen. I love not being able to predict the outcome.
As for Mad Men, a friend turned me onto it, and I am completely hooked. I love Joan. She is a fashionista hot red-haired hottie.....calling Nina???? I'm missing twirling your lovely locks of curls...

So far from the 11 episodes of season 3, Cranston has directed only one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Breaking_Bad_episodes. And why would the show get dropped if the director was someone else?
This is one of the two or three weekly shows that are a must watch for me. Only two episodes left for this season. I was con on the "Fly" episode but then last week was back to form with twists and turns and unexpected developments.

I agree. But, as in tonight's Breaking Bad, it's "apples and oranges" The Wire is very reality-based, and intent on showing how things really work in a big city. Breaking Bad is over-the-top in its presentation, and based on character -- bad character that we all sense resides within us. Both are great shows.
No more "Half Measures" for Walt tonight -- I sat up and shouted "Holy Shit!" at the tv at the end of tonight's episode.
And the opening montage tonight (set to the old song "Windy") will certainly provide amusement to some members of this board -- "bending down to give me a rainbow" -- had to laugh out loud at that one.
