Title: Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul - With US pace Spoilers
Post by: DaveShoelace on August 01, 2013, 07:03:26 PM
I have just caught up with BB and wanted to talk specifics, but didnt want to spoil it for the guys on the TV thread.

Holy shit! Greatest show ever. What a way to end mid season.

For me it felt like Walt's story is now over, and the rest of the season will be about Hank taking him down from his perspective. Walt became very unsympathetic (in a good way) and as a character I can't really see him going back to being a nice guy, so I just feel that Hank might become the protaganist (and Jesse is still a hero).

Discuss.

"I met a traveller from an antique land
 Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
 Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
 Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
 And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
 Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
 Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
 The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
 And on the pedestal these words appear:
 "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
 Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
 Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
 Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
 The lone and level sands stretch far away"

......would suggest otherwise.

The episode where Hank got shot in the car park was awesome. Hank is a hero.

Not greatest show ever but elements are close imo.

Incidentally I have read the poem above again a few times and now think that it is foreshadowing Walts death or downfall......anyone else have an interpretation?

I love the fact that Jesse always calls him mr white, but in series 2 as an insult calls him Walt!

There is so much subtle stuff in there it's amazing!

3. The Sopranos
4. Our Friends in the North
5. Deadwood
6. Romanzo Criminale
7. Game of Thrones
8. Breaking Bad
9. Skins
10. Boardwalk Empire

Tough to make a list and it changes all the time......could easily have Friday Night Lights, Love/hate,  Six Feet Under, original House of Cards, Boys from the Blackstuff and This Life in there.

Not exactly 1 to 10, But close enough. 

Sopranos
Boardwalk empire
The Shield
The walking dead
Homeland
Game of thrones
Band of brothers
Always sunny in Philadelphia
Friends
Peep Show


Having thought about it I easily have another 10 before breaking bad makes the list: 24, the wire, lost, Dexter, scrubs, the Pacific, modern family, Luther, the office, tru blood, the league.

Saul Goodman is reportedly getting his own spinoff series. For me with spinoffs you have to do something very different (Frasier being the perfect example) and I think Saul is probably the most interesting character you could do that with from the show.

Another that is going the way that The Shield went, and I'm wondering just how out there the storylines will get. That said, I'm not going to stop watching it, but I just wonder how many seasons SOA has left.

Off the top of my head, I would say this is probably my top 10. The top 4 are in order, but I would have to think about the rest a little more...

1. Friday Night Lights
2. Lost
3. The Sopranos
4. The Wire
5. Deadwood
6.. Breaking Bad
7. Dexter
8. Sons of Anarchy
9. Californication
10. Entourage

'( two great characters.

I have every confidence that Gilligan will come up with an unexpected and breathtaking finale. Maybe some big Hank-twist.

Will really miss that 'world' when it ends. As he stood there at the start, pointing his gun down the dusty road, in his shirt and underpants, I knew I'd like it. Takes bravery to produce a show that goes from KFC/Pest Control to suicide by defib in a german hardware plant and still works.
I'd gone through some of the other shows mentioned, Dexter, Thrones, Boardwalk, and could only really get into Breaking Bad. Must be a taste thing.

No, no indeed! I was waiting for the wrestling geeks!

Afterall, this was at a time when information about America was limited. Sky had only recently (18 months or so) started showing wrestling, and were essentially 1 year behind, but trying to catch up. So Wrestlemania V was shown in summer 1990 (June) and then WM VI was shown in September that year. 

Its a great story, because we had to set our video player to record it, and our Sky system to turn itself on to record it whilst we were on holiday. It was a military operation, with thousands of check and double check procedures. Everything was set!

The we went on holiday, to AMERICA, and literally all I could think of when not enjoying Disney etc, was getting home to watch WM V.

We got home, and I have never been so distraught! My aunty was surprised that we had left plug sockets turned on whilst we were on a 21 day holiday, so switch off at the mains! MANY MANY tears were shed!

Great story, running bad with the Aunty there though... Wrestlemania VI was the absolute peak of the WWF Champion Vs Champion doesn't get any better, after that it went down hill, we had rubbish like "The match made in Heaven and the Match made in hell" The Lex express and all that garbage.. And whatever happened to the WBF (Only true WWF fans will remember the WBF..?

Breaking Bad next week, gonna be epic..

Question about the ending: Surely as careful as Walter was with hiding every little detail from hank, it's a bit unlikely that he'd leave that book on his toilet?!

Bit disappointed unless I've missed something?!

More and more I get the sense that the overriding theme of the series is hubris and Walts hubris in particular and the fact that he was unwilling to let go of the book was because of what Gale had inscribed in it ie it is his pride that will lead to his downfall.....to my mind that is what the poem by Shelly I quoted earlier that they are using in the trailers for this last series is about too.....but I do tend to think about these things a bit too much.


Title: Re: The Breaking Bad Thread - With US pace Spoilers

Yeh but why not just hide the book in his room or something? Leaving it on the toilet seems so unlikely from the guy that unscrews a plug behind his bedside table to hide the ricin capsule...

I guess so but part of that hubris is the need for other people to know how clever he is to and leaving it in the bathroom allows others to see that.  Also the inscription isn't immediately easy to decipher and whilst, it would seem to be a bit folish of Walt to leave it in the bathroom Hank is the only person that could possibly make the connection and even then it isn't anything like certain he would.  Overall i think Breaking Bad requires a fair few leaps of faith.  To my mind one of the best episodes of the last season was the one with the train heist but it was all fairly unlikely as was the thing with the magnet that wiped the hard drive data but I think the payoff is worth it.

Easily top 5 series for me, the amount of subtle and genuinely genius extras they have added into every episode is amazing. Yeah, some ep's did drag and were a bit boring but they were followed with an absolute beast soon after.

Question about the ending: Surely as careful as Walter was with hiding every little detail from hank, it's a bit unlikely that he'd leave that book on his toilet?!

I definitely believe Walt has done this on purpose, as he had left it at his bedside table at all times before this, got to be a set up of whats to come right?

There is a theory that the book was actually a gift from Gretchen back when Walt was with her at Uni. Would be a nice twist if he ends up getting caught by a coincidence.

I did say to redarmi I was going to start a new show after finishing a Sopranos rewatch, but I'm tempted to do another spin through Breaking Bad while the last 8 episodes are airing.

I enjoyed the show first time, but can't remember being quite as enamoured with it as most people here, and want to see if I enjoy it more 2nd time through.

If stream isn't working for whatever reason, just google 'AMC stream' and find one that works.

Waited months for this, but have to sleep. fml

Solid opening. I do wonder what direction it will go in from now on though. Does the cop go in hard and attempt to take Heisenburg down, or just eventually sweep the whole debacle under the carpet.


Title: Re: The Breaking Bad Thread - With US pace Spoilers
Post by: lucky_scrote on August 12, 2013, 04:41:34 PM
The opening scenes are thrilling! Earlier in the season he is in a different state hundreds of miles from home eating breakfast in a random diner on his 52nd birthday. That's going to be 9 months from now?

This episode he is visiting his abandoned house and his neighbour shits herself when she sees Walter. I would go ahead and say the obvious "What does this mean, he's on the run" but breaking bad has the excellent naff of pointing you in one direction and then going the other.

So exciting! This series blows everything out of the water right now :D.

I assumed he was back on the chemo, he was taking some tabs and was throwing up. Saying that, he was supposed to be dead a few seasons ago.


Title: Re: The Breaking Bad Thread - With US pace Spoilers
Post by: outragous76 on August 12, 2013, 07:17:38 PM
Def on the chemo there was a scene with him doing it.

I still like Walt. I want him to get away with it. I also want Jesse to win as well but have my doubts.

I find it interesting Walt didn't say to hank that if it wasn't for him he would be in a wheel chair.

I think the fact the house is derelict tells us hank shops Walt and Walt goes on the run alone. Big question for me is who is Walt going to kill with an assault rifle?


Title: Re: The Breaking Bad Thread - With US pace Spoilers
Post by: BangBang on August 12, 2013, 08:52:52 PM
And why has he come back for the Ricin...?

The garage scene was the most powerful scene in the whole show (followed closely by "I am the danger" scene season 3) Walter finally gives in and becomes Heisenberg, the "tread lightly" line again put down that Walters alter ego has finally taken over. 

Going back to the opening scene and Walters derelict former home, the name 'Heisenberg' is graffiti'ed on his wall, the house in general looks like it's been used by meth heads very similar to what happened to Jesse's house, so if it had then it's out that Walter is Heisenberg which means (Already obvious I know) Hank pursues him..

Gonna be great to watch, loads of episode to episode cliffhangers, Where are Skylar and the kids, now that Walter has fully embraced his inner demon, will he finally get rid of Jesse who seems to have embraced his inner angel and is the weakest link.  Will the Eastern European connections come for Walter demanding that he makes them a better product and will Walter receive some sort of retribution for killing Gus Fringe (Man was connected that's why the Cartel didn't kill him the first time)   

This show is absolute genius..

So going back, do you think Max and Gus Fring were lovers? and if so, do you think he had another lover who will maybe; with Gus's family come back for Walter? How many different fronts will Walter be fighting on? Skylar looks at Walter with utter contempt like she's waiting for him to die, Hank wants to catch him, Gus's family/connections/lover, the Eastern Europeans, Jesse, will the Aryan brotherhood turn on him too, seeing that he's in a vulnerable position, they've already shown that they will do anything for a price.  And why on Earth in Saul still in the picture, where does Saul and his goon fit into all of this...?

Soooooooooooooooo good.

45 mins in, I was thinking "yeah, this nicely sets things up for a few episodes of Hank snooping around leading up to an eventual confrontation...."

BOOM!

One of the many great things about this show is that it goes along at such a fast pace. I remember the end of season 1 thinking "this Tito will be a force to be reckoned with" and he was dead within 2 episodes.

Every episode takes the show in an unexpected direction without having to resort to tacky plot twists. In fact we have never had a corrupt cop or anything.

btw, shame on you if you read it anyway, but apparantely the Daily Mail are printing spoilers, so avoid it even more than normal.

Just so so incredible. The moment Walt asked where the GPS had come from I felt a moment of cringworthy-ness knowing that something had to kick off.

I don't quite get that Walt says "I raise my right hand to God that I run a car wash and that is it" and then confesses straight after.

I rewatched the start of this series on Saturday and Walt is going to get everything that he deserves. He has been so so selfish and is a compulsive liar. At first he wanted to make money for his family for when he died but then all he wanted to build an empire. Selfish much?

My perfect ending is for Skyler to be arrested when her money laundering is exposed and is forced into a confession which forces Walt to run. Skyler should have turned Walt in the first chance she got, she made some really bad choices and therefore she deserves to be behind bars for it.

Will Walt die from un-natural causes? It's so hard to say. This show has forever caught me off guard and produced the unexpected that I'm just going to lean back and enjoy and let whatever happens, hit me.

S3 S4 S5 >>>>>>>>>>S2>>>>>S1

And S1 was good.

I figured it might be a slight 'confidence' thing, they had trouble getting funding for the show based on a concept that looks terrible on paper. Cue epic facepalm from spurning studios when they realised that a multiple Emmy winner had slipped through their fingers....and by S2 S3 the writers/producers knew that popularity was a lock so they took it where they wanted.....and they made something really special.

The makers seem to demand attentiveness from the viewer, in the way you get in some films. Oh you can watch it, just sit there and 'view' it, but it'll only be on a third or fourth viewing that you'll really see little things that were thrown in that reward real attentiveness. Watching for suspicious coincidences, asking yourself 'why would they film this like this, or direct this like this'. Gilligan et al do this a bit with the 'dwell'. For example, Walt is in the shower, messes around with the towel, and there's a 'dwell' that is about one second more than needed for the shot...our attention is being drawn to it. It's not an accident, or oversight.
There was another that I noticed on second viewing, with Jane's dad. He's looking in certain ways, at certain times. There are dwells on certain places. You can 'get' the show without them, but you miss a lot of richness.
So they seem to have this rule...everything means what it means, unless there's this slight dwell, and they're pointing at something, a hidden meaning, or emblem.
I found another tonight, on my second viewing of series 3. It's farewell and goodluck to Gomie. Hank is awkward with him, since they haven't been getting on, and Hank is distracted anyway. The cake gets cut, in lengths. It has Gomie on it, carrying 2 flags, one mexican, one USA. The cut cuts roughly between the flags. The dwell is quite distinctive, given that it's a cake.
So I google it...and there's plenty of chat about Gomie, and is he Gus's mole. The way he interacts with various people. Other clues that suggest there's someone on the inside. Could be a nice plot twist...

How tense! Every single scene had me gripped!

Superb episode for sheer good acting and tension. In many ways it feels like this is the start of an entirely new series where Hank is the hero and Walt the villain. Hank was superb and good turns from Marie and Skylar.

Not sure where things are going with the mob war with the crack dealers, that feels like an oblgatory bit of firepower, show doesn't need it imo but it will probably lead to something cool.

Never expected Hank to go after Walt so directly by confronting both Skylar and Marie.

Agreed with the Walt proposal, I think he has now made the full transition to evil................... and just as you think that, he is lay there ill on the bathroom floor, just asking skyler to make sure it was all worth while

As for Hank, just when you think he is the hero, skyler points out just why he might not be.

Its soooo good, it plays with your emotions. I was actually sitting tense whilst watching it.

And as for the ending....................... double episode 1 time!!!!!!!!!!!! How can we have to wait another week?

Its the bit where she says she needs a lawyer (admittedly through self interest), Hank says your best interests and mine are the same,  she says to Hank he just wants t get walt at all costs, and he realises that's kinda true! Also the fact that he wont tell the DEA in fear of his own career.

I think Hank might become a Hero and then reach zero very quickly (probably because of Jesse)

Such a tense episode. I don't think this is going to end well for Hank, he wont get Walt, he'll lose his job and what the f**k was up with his stubble.

That slap from Marie was the best TV slap I think I have EVER seen.

Awesome.  What a place to end it.

Brilliant.

I just can't see Hank not pursuing Walt irrespective of Walts impending deathFor Hank not to pursue would be going against every sinew in his body.

Was a bluff no?

Impossible to predict anything, yet I think it'll be a bluff as well.  Neighbour seeing a ghost.

It's a mark of how brilliant this is that in a super super tense episode such as this, there were still a couple of moments of proper laugh-out loud funny (the fat guy lying down on the money and the sheer preposterousness of Lydia's Loubertain heels at the massacre she'd arranged).

Wow watched the latest episode last night. Awesome!

Really intrigued to see how the sub plot (Todd) is going to progress and clash with the main plot, and the writers have essentially now led us to believe that the 'showdown' is now going to be Jesse vs Walt- rather than hank v Walt. I would not be surprised if it isn't!

Had decided to wait for the whole of Season 5 to play out and then watch it all in one go but finally cracked a few days ago and have caught up and will watch the rest real time.

Amazing the quality this series has managed to maintain and I'm glad this will be the last series. Been watching the latest Dexter and it's just disappeared up its own ass to use an americanism - from pretty great TV to car-crash terrible, only watching now to see how contrived and silly it can get.

Breaking Bad just never disappoints - can think of maybe one ep which seemed a bit tedious but even that was OK. Loving it and watched yesterday's ep in my new Heisenberg t shirt.

When Dexter had John Lithgow in it season 4 it hit it's absolute peak. At that point, I was torn between which was better; Dexter or BB. The last season of Dexter has been such a monstrosity and generally just utter shite, like you, I am watching it just to get it over with and to see how stupid it's going to get.

For Dexter, I am around 80% positive that I know what the twist in this series will be, possibly just as obvious as the twist in season 6. With BB, I couldn't even hazard a guess where it is going. The writers are far too smart to let viewers work anything out until it's all over.

I think this what makes BB so good. The main protagonists are not characters that an audience would normally be sympathetic to and they don't really ever become buddies to turn it into some kind of buddyfest

Another great line from Saul this week as he ships Hank out of the interrogation room 'there you go Rocky, keep your left up'. Loved it

I know, I love the fast pace.

One thing that felt a little out of place for me, and I think its the first time something hasn't made sense, was how Jesse put 2 and 2 together to realise it was Saul who lifted the ricin cigarette. Its not very Jesse-esque.

Jesse is smart in a street way, he takes what people tell him, applies street knowledge and "gets it" in his own way. The he reapplies what he has leant. That's his character. Deducing things from scratch not really his style. As soon as the episode ended I rewound straight back to that scene thinking I had missed something. But no, he worked it out. I thought that was a little bit non Jesse.

I also think this episode shows the demise of Hank, and in actual fact, its not just the video, he now realises that Walts drug money has paid for his rehab, he is basically drawing dead. I actually think that he might just "break bad" himself by the end, now knowing that he has no future.

Agree, I think we probably see him take a back seat and perhaps have some major influence at the very end. It was Hank who introduced Walt to Jesse in the first place, seems fitting he might end things in one way or another.

It was when he was waiting for the pickup - he went to get his weed out of his pocket, and when he couldn't find it, realised that the fat guy had lifted it when he blocked the door on the way out. Then when he looked at the cigarettes he remembered about the ricin.

No real idea how this is going to end.

It showed him having chemo a few episodes ago no? If not, then fwiw you don't lose your hair when you get cancer, that's what chemotherapy does.

I don't think Walt would make up that the cancer is back, that seems far too weak for him. He'd make up a much more fun lie up than that.

Don't really agree with this.  He had worked it out before it was just that Walt persuaded him that it was Fring that had done it to try and get Walt murdered by Jesse.  Jesse bought it on that occasion but this scene illustrates the journey that Jesse has gone on and as he is stood there he is thinking about everything he has been told by Walt and how it has all been to serve Walts purpose.  The fact  that he has been pickpocketed by Huell makes him remember when he had been persuaded this hadn't happened last time.  He now realise it obviously had and he had been played, same as he was being played now.  I think it makes perfect sense but Gilligan is making you work for the solution like he always does.

Title: Re: The Breaking Bad Thread - With US pace Spoilers
Post by: DaveShoelace on August 29, 2013, 05:08:56 PM
In the previous season, Walt led Jesse to believe that Gus poisened Brock with the Ricin - when in reality Walt did with the lily flower thing.

At the time, Jesse actually figured it out, but Walt convinced him it was Gus. All the details are here:

YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BROfhjCycY

So getting his weed lifted by Huel in the same way this time, and looking at his cigarette pack, both made him put all the pieces together.

At the time of the ep it seemed far fetched, but looking back, it was brilliant.

As far as I remember Jesse suspected Walt had Saul lift the ricin to poison Brock. And that's exactly what he did, except he didn't use the ricin. Walt convinced Jesse that Gus was behind it.

So after being pickpocketed again Jesse comes to the conclusion that Walt did in fact get Saul to lift the ricin. And he's right. He's jumped to the wrong conclusion that Walt used it to poison Brock, though ultimately it was still Walt behind it.

Or something like that. The original plan was very convoluted!

Walt slipped in Brock's school and gave him some poisoned juice (explained at comic-con, not shown on TV)

You let me down Marky son. Disappointed!

Last ep was deece tbf but certainly not good enough to break into my top 10 let alone 5 series.

<3 Jessie, but H8 Walt.

DVD was an incred move though. WP Walt fella. WP.

I am starting to think it might be because I was such a big MITM fan. I miss Hal. Any other Malcolm fans out there struggle to adjust for the first season or so?  :'(

Sorry mate, but I missed a trick and not sure what I happened to give me my initial opinion. I think maybe watching it over a short period helped me appreciate it more.

You're meant to hate Walt, just as you're meant to love Jessie, and that DVD was so com.

I have to say, the biggest shock was how much Landry has changed since he left Dillon, that Tyra really messed him up good!

Never seen Malcolm, but I'll put it on the evergrowing list for a looksie ;)

While doing an Elliot Ness and following the money to the car wash makes perfect sense I sort think it's something to do with Walt Jr.  We all know Walter is doing all of this for his family and with Jessie hurting from Walter going after a kid to play him he might do the same.  It might just be exposing Walt Jr to what his father has become rather than anything physical.  Remember, it's not just Walter who is evolving in this series, I think we're also going to see how far Hank, Jessie and indeed Marie are going to be willing to go, how dark everyone is prepared to get.  Plus the season has been very Walt Jr light and they have kind of set him up with his scenes in the last episode.  I have a feeling they will make a storyline for him in the close to lead up to whatever makes Walt go on the run.

I agree that the character has been lost over the last two seasons at least.  He was a vital plot point for the opening couple of seasons to establish Walt's predicament but they've sort of lost how to progress him, or he's just now not that relevant to the series to such a degree.

FWIW he may not have a massive on screen role if they take this route, Walt would obviously be threatened with it etc.  I just can't see just the money being the best way to bring Walt down.

Cant see Hank or Jesse dying during this fire fight, they would almost certainly have killed one of them at the end of the show. Maybe the end of next episode in a different way.

Gomie is fucked though.

In fact, a big part of me just thought Gomie was going to shoot Hank and release Walt when he got put in cuffs.

Happy for Hank; out Walt's Walt, tells Marie he loves her, victory all round, goes out in a hail of bullets.  <3  

Poor Gomez, thought he might of been an inside man at one point, guess not.

Jesse slips away imo, unfinished business.  

Also it was probably to have an explosive ending for next week, but firing a ton of bullets and no one getting hit was a bit un-BB, should've just ended with a stare off.  #nitpicking

Post by: Ant040689 on September 09, 2013, 04:10:31 PM
There is nothing that tilts me more than some hopelessly array shooting and this was in full flow here! So agree with Alverton, that has pissed me off slightly, I think you should have maybe seen the screen fade to black, and the noise of gunshots.

My prediction is, only Pinkman dies, Hank pulls off some amazeballs Rambo style shit and kills all of the cronies, barring the cook that remains injured but eventually in custody, or at least personal arrest. but his Mexican compadre dies.

Leaving Hank a little light on witness testimonial, but he has this cook to question, and he thinks he has the geography on the money, but Hank has actually led him up the garden path.

I see there are 4 episodes left, at this rate of carnage I really am amiss to telling you how they are eeking out much more from this.

Maybe the woman mover dealing with the Eastern European market comes up to save Waltman on condition of cooking more meth with some high power moves to get Walt out of it. That is the only loose end i see here, maybe Saul has a trick up his sleeve too.

Whatever happens, I am going to be hooked. Rather enjoying Newsroom too btw, that comes out on Sunday nights, I watch that first in a lead up to this and that combo doesn't disappoint.

The more I think of it, I like the way they ended the episode mid-cliffhanger. I initially thought it meant that Hank lives through the fight, now I am starting to think how badass it would be if dies immediately at the start of the next episode.

Genuinely shouted 'You can't fucking end now!' out loud at the end of that episode.  IMO defo GG Gomie, I think we'll have a mortally wounded Hank as well to begin the next one.  I think Jessie makes it out, he is in a car out of the vast array of bad shooting and the keys are probably still in there.

Great episode, such a shame that with every one we get closer to the final one.

We still have why Walt has to go on the run to New Hampshire, why his family aren't with him, why he has to come back and him doing what ever he has to do when he gets back with that rather big gun and the Ricin.  Rather than thinking there is too much time left, I'm worried there is too little.

The gun Walt had in the flash back looks similar to one of the cronies. Obv all assualt rifles going to look similar but it would make sense with how he ahs access to. Pretty ingenious way to go for the money. Why didn't Walt just say on the phone its the DEA? One of the best episodes without a doubt.

Saul is incred in BB, but I'm not sure if the character could carry his own show. Not that I won't be tuning in, however, I can't envisage it running more than a season.

You are correct and get Netflix. It is free for your first month, which means you can binge watch the current series and potentially could get the final eps in without paying (cancel immediately when the series ends). Plus you get a few other good series and (not many good) movies too.

Walt gets his new identity, but gets killed trying to take revenge on Landry and his uncle's firm?

wow

best episode ever. One of the best hours of TV ever.

Hank went out like a badass, Walt was at his weakest.

Honestly thought Jesse was going to get killed, Walt was at his evilest.

Then that phone call at the end was amazing, genius and dare I say it, very romantic in a fucked up murderer meth dealer kinda way.

They almost could have ended it there, pretty much every loose end has been tied up, its just a case of killing the uncles now.

I think the final two episodes are all about him putting some wrongs right. I can't really see him doing anything evil anymore, he has lost everything. Final two episodes is all about ensuring his family get the money, killing the uncles and saving Jesse (who may then go on to kill him).

Ozymandias.  Apt genius.  Such a cliché but this show is just getting better and better towards the end.

The phone call was so beautiful, the moment where the audience twigs, the moment where Sky twigs, the emotion on both sides of the line.  To my mind one of the most perfectly written screen scenes.

Hank went out the way he should, and that allowed us to all really think Jessie was getting one in the back of the head.  I still can't believe Walt grassed on him, I don't know about anyone else but after Hank's death I thought he'd try to reconcile with Jessie, not blame him at the time, but I guess that makes more sense.

The one thing I am trying to work out is when he comes back he gets a big gun and the Ricin, two completely different methods of revenge.  One blunt, one subtle.  I guess there are two targets, Jessie?  Saul?  Can't just be the Nazi gang.

Anyway I don't want to make too many predictions, just going to enjoy the end of one of the all time greatest series on television.

Best part of the episode for me was when he revealed to Jessie that he stood by and allowed Jane to die.  Was waiting for a long time for that to come up.

Also loved the bit when Walt got in the car.  Didn't see the guy who arranged it.  They filmed it in a way that Saul described it.  He just disappeared.

Gonna have to rewatch the last few episodes before next week.

I wonder if the scene at the start was filmed 5 years ago and was cut or they had to get a serious make up job to make it happen?

Be so sad when its gone.

I'd love to think so, but doubtful, most of BB has been written somewhat on the fly with Vince Gilligan only having a rough idea where it was going. Case in point, originally both Jesse and Gus were going to get killed off in the first series they appeared in, but due to public response and how well the actors performed in their roles, he made more of them.

That scene was cool btw, remarkable how far all the characters have come. Seeing Jesse pretending he had a sword in the distance was funny.

I don't really think it's about the money anymore Ant, I think he has realised what he has become, and I imagine he's going to go Batman on Landry's mob, whilst saving Jessie.

I think it was and always has been about the money with Walt. OFC it can be argued he is going to kill those guys just because they killed Hank, but I think it will be about the money too. If not he would just look to kill those guys without finding out where the cash is.

I think this will end with a meeting with Skyler telling her where the money is, after he has relocated it all and that he is sorry and bids a farewell. No idea how the plot will end with Jesse.

I think there is a slight hypocrisy with Skyler, she went along a lot of the time with Walt, made the tape that would look to ruin Hank if the time ever came to it, but she expects that Walt would just accept arrest when it came without putting Hank's life in danger? I think you are either in or you are out on that one, even if he is family, you have to choose a side there and stick to it imo.

As a real longshot, how about Walt killing everyone as that is shocking and I would expect no less. Ending with him killing his family, finishing with his daughter and then topping himself (has already attempted suicide before).

I don't disagree that it has always been about the money, but it looks like that all changed when he realised what he had done to his own family, and the phone call pointed to this as well.

Walt will try to save Jessie, whilst getting revenge for Hank's death, but I haven't got a clue about how it will all play out. It's going to be an epic couple of hours viewing though.

The bit I've highlighted is a million to happen!

There is no way Walt kills Skyler, look at how he breaks down on the phone because he knows how he is hurting her. He has an epiphany when he gets cut by her and sees Jr. on the phone. He knows he has gone too far.

The moment of pure hatred from Walt when he gives up Jesse. Jesse did ruin everything though. Hank knew so much and had no shot at all of an arrest. Pretty brutal life for Jesse atm. The picture at the end of his tether was pretty shocking. Probably the best hour of tv ever.

I'm torn between if he is intending to ever come back right now.  I think not but he did say 'I still have things to do.'  And I think the money is immaterial right now, with Hank dying it showed him that his money can't buy everything.

Also can not see him hurting anyone in his family, that really would make no sense.  I do however think that something is going to happen to Sky/Walt JR/Marie to prompt him to return.

IMO they have to do what they did with Frasier when he left Cheers and make it a completely different type of show. I don't think you can have all the drama and bloodshed, much better if they try and make it more of a caper/comedy kind of thing.

Just caught up with the latest episode.  This must have been the best episode yet. Hank died like a hero, he caught Walt and had him bang to rights, he finally accomplished what he set out to do.  Todd must be the scariest character in the whole show, his whole demeanor and the way he talks about killing people is just amazing, a man with no remorse.

The Jesse thing again was interesting, Jesse has always been the polar opposite of Walt, his balance, Walt even told Saul that Jesse was family, now Walt has completely detached himself from someone that he considered family, very uncharacteristic of him and again shows that he has completely evolved.  He shook hands with the man that killed his brother in law too, very uncharacteristic like.

The whole Walt jr thing and the knife episode was crazy, Jr calling the police on his father, Walt then taking Holly and calling Skylar knowing the police were going to be listening in and completely exonerating her of any wrongdoings relating to him, giving her a defense of Duress if she ever is brought to trial.

Looking forward to the next episode, I think Jesse is somehow going to get free, take the barrels of money, pick up that girl and her son and start a new life somewhere.  But I think uncle Jack is then gonna get to Skylar to get Walt back to start the cook again.. Something like that really..

Looking forward to see how this pans out..

Can there really only be 40 odd mins remaining? Sure its not a double episode?

Can see Walt eventually seeing Jesse again, and despite everything they will show some sort of mutual respect and part ways. Assuming it is after he plans an attack on Jesse's captors. Walt has to deal with his old business partners too which will be interesting. Have no idea how it is going to end with his family, but I think Skylar definitely isn't a complete hater of Walt. The son appears to be though.

How is he getting out of his cabin with all of his money though? Imagine he steals a van outside of the pub he was in.

What about a suicide mission into killing those guys but he's armed with science? Has these bombs that will mess people up, or tools up conventionally and goes rambo. I think him going rambo is just the way this should end and i think it will be like that. He will retain all his money somewhere, again, and get a secretive note to Skylar about it and that will be that.

Can imagine him getting mortally wounded rather than going out to cancer. But could there be a happy ending here somehow. I am going to shut up and wait now...

Great episode, obv slow compared to the last one, but some amazing scenes.

Walt trying to intimidate Saul, but keeling over.
Andrea getting killed.
Walt Junior on the phone.
The final scene obv.

Plus Meth Damon came into his own.

Poor Jesse.  I always had it my head that Walt would die, and he would take over the mantelpiece of Heisenberg.

Todd is fantastic.  The rest of the Nazi group are pretty meh 1 dimensional characters, but Todd elevates the group from mindless samey thugs to genuine psychos.

Hard to believe there will only be 45 mins left.

Completely agree, for me Todd is the scariest character ever to grace the TV screen.. His whole demeanor is scary, would love to see more of his character

I found the latest episode slow, but also had some great moments, looking forward to the Finale, which btw is a full hour long not 45 minutes..

I read somewhere that both Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul would watch him act every scene, and consider him the best actor on the show.

Shame he looks so much like Matt Damon, as I think it will hinder him getting any huge movie roles.

Agree this is the right time to stop, will be much missed but would be pretty much impossible to keep this standard up.

I thought he was going to use her as a persuader, never though he was just going to kill her out on the street!

Not a clue what will happen, but I'm guessing the Ricin is for the Nazis and Walt is going in the final episode too.

No way, it's Walt's fault that the Nazis know anything about Andrea. Jesse will blame him for her death.

Walter uses ricin on Lydia, he puts it in her tea which is why there's been so many references to her tea drinking.

Don't know who the machine gun is for. Seems to obvious to think that Walt is just coming back to gun down the Nazis to get back his money.

Jesse will kill Todd and Walt and run off into the sunset adopting Brock i think.

Can't wait for the finale.  Great set up episode, geared down perfect from the previous one to gear up again.  I still have no idea who's getting the Ricin but I don't think it's Lydia.

Pretty sure Walt is checking out, via cancer, bullet, Jesse or Ricin.  I think Jesse is gonna make it somehow.

On the last episode, the one and only time I've been taken out of a Breaking Bad episode when the guy from the Cinema Mobile Phone ads turned up.  For a split second was looking for anything orange.

Everywhere I look people are saying that Lydia will be the victim of the ricin in her tea, which makes sense. However Skylar is the only person who we continually see smoking when she is stressed, given the ricin is in a cigarette, I think its more likely she accidently smokes it.

Pretty much think everyone is going to die btw.

I actually don't mind the Sopranos ending, sure they didn't show him slumped over the onion rings, while Carmela and the kids screamed the building down with Journey playing away. It was pretty obvious what happened though,  and people still talk about it now so I guess it had the desired effect.

Such an unbelievably satisfying ending. I was so nervous it would be shit and they knocked it out the park.

Laser scene was the best, so happy Badger and Skinny Pete made it in the final.

All the loose ends tied up.

I would have bet my house it would have been a 'everybody dies' ending with no happy endings, in fact I would have bet my house it was a Heisenberg ending, but it was a Walter White ending, he even used science.

Vince Gilligan has thrown down the gauntlet, IMO best show ever, but even if you don't think its the greatest, it has to be the best final season of a show ever.

Saul told Walt that because Skyler was married to him that she could be prosecuted by them saying she must have known about it and there was no way that she couldn't have known (something along these lines).  The DEA wouldn't just let a load of dead agents go and would want someone to take the punishment for it so they would go after Skyler.  I'm sure it was something like that.  Start of the penultimate episode I think this conversation happens.

Oh, and Walt doesn't care about the rest of the money cause he's already got $9mirrion going to his son from a clean source.  As he's planning to die anyway and his family will have enough, I imagine he doesn't care about the rest.

Loved it.

Really glad they didn't have Skylar and Walt embrace, or Walt and Jesse make up.  Would totally contradict the fact that things had gone much too far and Walt had just changed so much.

The lasers and the Walt/Skylar scene top the bunch.  Loved the manic scene of Jesse as he left too, you see he's as much as a victim of Walt as everyone else and is mentally messed up.

Gonna have to find something else to watch now.

The only two shows that get repeatably compared to BB that I have not yet seen is the Wire and the Sopranos. From what I gather, the Sopranos is the best, so for that reason I am going to binge watch the Wire first, so I potentially have an even better Sopranos to look forward to after.

Best episode has to be two weeks ago when Hank gets killed, personally think that it was the best episode of anything ever.

However, before the cat was out of the bag, some of the episodes with Gus Fring were amazing.

It was an incredibly satisfying ending and it wrapped everything up well I thought.  I am not sure it was the best ending of a  show ever.  To my mind that honour goes to the last episode of the Sopranos which, at the time I hated but having taken the time to understand it I think was just incredible.  After 10-15 years of consistently great TV it feels like we are coming to the end of an era and the only truly great show that is left is Mad Men which is coming to a close soon too.

Gonna have to find something else to watch now.

The only two shows that get repeatably compared to BB that I have not yet seen is the Wire and the Sopranos. From what I gather, the Sopranos is the best, so for that reason I am going to binge watch the Wire first, so I potentially have an even better Sopranos to look forward to after.

I'm late to all these shows too. Watched season 1 of the wire and have taken a break but will return to it soon. Had watched odd eps here and there of the Sopranos but then binge watched the whole lot in the last few weeks - pretty extraordinary stuff and a lot of parallels with BB I'd say. Hard to compare anything to Breaking Bad but would think you'll love Sopranos too

Just fucking brilliant. Had a feeling it would end like it did apart from the Eliott and Grechen bit and the bit with auto machine gun. None the less definitely one of the best TV shows ever along with Sopranos.

Laser scene/Skyler scene/Jesse freedom scene best moments of Felina.

Ozymandias - Best TV episode of all time AINEC

Watch it from the start, please please please.

You will be amazed at how Walter transforms for a start.

You have missed out on when it was almost a brlliant black comedy.

Perhaps most of all, you get to see the best rivalry in TV, Walt vs Gus:

Such an unbelievably satisfying ending. I was so nervous it would be shit and they knocked it out the park.

Laser scene was the best, so happy Badger and Skinny Pete made it in the final.

All the loose ends tied up.

I would have bet my house it would have been a 'everybody dies' ending with no happy endings, in fact I would have bet my house it was a Heisenberg ending, but it was a Walter White ending, he even used science.

Vince Gilligan has thrown down the gauntlet, IMO best show ever, but even if you don't think its the greatest, it has to be the best final season of a show ever.

Nailed it. Literally unreal the way in which Giligan ties everything together through he whole series is just unreal.

I think the thing about The Shield's ending was it was so difficult to predict. You had a feeling of unfinished business but still felt satisfied that the programme had come to a proper conclusion. Sopranos didn't give you any of that and Breaking Bad went (from what I have read) in a completely different direction, with a much more traditional tying up of all the loose ends.

Variety is the spice of life and all that

Title: Re: The Breaking Bad Thread - With US pace Spoilers
Post by: theprawnidentity on October 07, 2013, 02:59:48 PM

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Night-time would find me in Rosa's cantina;
Music would play and Felina would whirl.

Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden;
I was in love but in vain, I could tell.

One night a wild young cowboy came in,
Wild as the West Texas wind.
Dashing and daring,
A drink he was sharing
With wicked Felina,
The girl that I loved.

So in anger I

Challenged his right for the love of this maiden.
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.
My challenge was answered in less than a heart-beat;
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.

Just for a moment I stood there in silence,
Shocked by the FOUL EVIL deed I had done.
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there;
I had but one chance and that was to run.

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran,
Out where the horses were tied.
I caught a good one.
It looked like it could run.
Up on its back
And away I did ride,

Just as fast as I

Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the bad-lands of New Mexico.

Back in El Paso my life would be worthless.
Everything's gone in life; nothing is left.
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death.

I saddled up and away I did go,
Riding alone in the dark.
Maybe tomorrow
A bullet may find me.
Tonight nothing's worse than this
Pain in my heart.

And at last here I

Am on the hill overlooking El Paso;
I can see Rosa's cantina below.
My love is strong and it pushes me onward.
Down off the hill to Felina I go.

Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys;
Off to my left ride a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting I can't let them catch me.
I have to make it to Rosa's back door.

Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side.
Though I am trying
To stay in the saddle,
I'm getting weary,
Unable to ride.

But my love for

Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen,
Though I am weary I can't stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.

From out of nowhere Felina has found me,
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for,
One little kiss and Felina, good-bye.

Though I didn't agree, I liked the theory, but just watched it back now and don't think it comes across that way at all. Breaking Bad never really went down the fantasy route, so I don't really think it was ever intended to come across like this. Think its just a case of people wishing it wasn't over and trying to get something more out of it.

Bet Walt had a big old grin after receiving this bit of fan mail!


Dear Mister Cranston.

I wanted to write you this email - so I am contacting you through Jeremy Barber - I take it we are both represented by UTA . Great agency.

I've just finished a marathon of watching "BREAKING BAD" - from episode one of the First Season - to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. (I downloaded the last season on AMAZON) A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing.

I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant!

Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen - ever.I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bullsh*t in this business, and I've sort of lost belief in anything really.

But this work of yours is spectacular - absolutely stunning. What is extraordinary, is the sheer power of everyone in the entire production. What was it? Five or six years in the making?

How the producers (yourself being one of them), the writers, directors, cinematographers.... every department - casting etc. managed to keep the discipline and control from beginning to the end is (that over used word) awesome.

From what started as a black comedy, descended into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell. It was like a great Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek Tragedy.

If you ever get a chance to - would you pass on my admiration to everyone - Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Aaron Paul, Betsy Brandt, R.J. Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Steven Michael Quezada - everyone - everyone gave master classes of performance ... The list is endless.

Thank you. That kind of work/artistry is rare, and when, once in a while, it occurs, as in this epic work, it restores confidence.

You and all the cast are the best actors I've ever seen. That may sound like a good lung full of smoke blowing. But it is not. It's almost midnight out here in Malibu, and I felt compelled to write this email.

Congratulations and my deepest respect. You are truly a great, great actor.

Best regards

Guess Who.

Finished watching it on Netflix over the weekend so was finally able to read this thread after carefully avoiding it for months.

Brilliant stuff, and well worth the hype.

The truly ground-breaking element for me though is the potential impact it has as to how we view our TV shows.  This is a programme that's had massive hype in the UK, despite not being broadcast on 'traditional' TV after Series 2 (and the one's that were shown over here were hardly on high-profile channels at prime-time).  Consequently, people have had to take steps (legal or otherwise) to search it out and, ultimately, Netflix and iTunes have had to cater for a UK audience demanding to see the shows on a similar time-scale to the US broadcasts, so this hasn't just been a relatively restricted audience of illegal downloaders.  If anything, it's helped to make the streaming services a genuine mainstream option for TV viewing.

Ultimately, it's demonstrated to the UK broadcasters that people will search out truly exceptional television by whatever means necessary, so they need to cater for these demands.  Ultimately, that should mean more and better choice for everyone!


Title: Re: The Breaking Bad Thread - With US pace Spoilers
Post by: DaveShoelace on October 28, 2013, 02:32:27 PM
Agree. In the last maybe four or five years there has been a growing trend of 'box set binge watching', I do it myself a lot. As viewers we have way more options than ever before on how we watch tv, once smart TVs becomes the norm, shows like BB are only going to become even more popular.

Sopranos

Are my top 5, but there are quite a few that sit a notch or two below them.

No chance. I was one of the original people trying to get others to watch the Shield.

The noughties will be remembered for three shows: Sopranos, Wire and Shield.

I know nothing of Friday Night Lights but given the other four are likely to be in my top five (currently watching and loving the sopranos) I think I will have to check it out.

Definitely my favourite American drama. I tolerate shows almost out of politeness sometimes. Some just go up and down. Once I've started them, I feel guilty about stopping part way. Dexter had to go. Prison Break I went all the way with and some of it was a bit daft. The Walking Dead has gone. Boardwalk Empire is on the edge. I need far more Al Capone and Arnold Rothstein.

I'm much the same, and it's very rare I will quit anything whilst it's running. The last one I did was 30 Rock, but they finished it a season later, so I may give it a go at some point.

I persevered with Dexter, even though it gradually declined. I'm saving TWD until it's over, or until I've nothing else to watch. Prison Break was amazing S1, good S2, and then just got worse with time.

Rothstein is probably the best character in BE,  and it will be interesting to see where things go from next season.

Finished it off with the last 5 episodes over the weekend.

Br Ba delivered.

Looking forward to getting stuck into the extras too.

Yeah, that's true.

I was spoilt a little with Breaking Bad, discovered in series 3 so could binge for a good while.
Same happened with GOT.
Now when the new series come out it tilts me to wait a week.

I discovered 24 after it had finished. Which is just as well, unsure I could have coped!

Yeah me too with 24 and BB. I was lucky with BB, I finished binge watching it about two weeks before the final eight episode, so I got to enjoy the anticipation of it all without it being a drag.

House of Cards is good for this reason, they release every single episode on the same day.

Pretty pointless really. People know that there's spoilers so they avoid it until they've watched it. Ley people put spoilers up as soon as they want as long as people know they're there.

More relevant is that this thread is supposed to have breaking bad spoilers whereas now we're on about a different program.


Title: Re: Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul - With US pace Spoilers
Post by: Cf on February 09, 2015, 06:47:40 PM
Yeah fair point. I've changed the name but leaves it as US paced spoilers.

So discussion about a Better Call Saul episode is only permitted after it has aired in the US.

Any Breaking Bad spoilers are fair game.

Enjoyed episode 1, but thought it was a little slow/steady.
Good set up for episode 2 though which was brilliant and much more the pace you'd expect.

Great character, well written and well played.
Must admit when I first heard about the concept I wasn't sure, but as it approached, and now it's started, I think it's going to be really good TV.

Yes, she is certainly wearing the proverbial trousers.

I did wonder this at the time, but forgot to check afterwards.

Loved the bit with the switch at the end.  The problem with waiting a week for episodes is that the potential relevance of it is going to bug me in the meantime.

I don't think we'll see what the switch does, think it was just symbolic of Saul being trapped in a system which he will inevtably rebel from.

The last few episodes of this series have been right up there with anything in Breaking Bad - just magnificent television.

Spooky bump!

I just finished the last episode now, and agree that it has been superb.

A little bit like Dexter in the way it plays out. Starts slowly, but gathers pace as the season goes.

Every bit as good as breaking bad imo

The main callbacks to breaking bad:

https://www.buzzfeed.com/robinedds/ice-station-zebra-associates

Can't say that I noticed a single one of the subtle ones but they mostly relate to seasons 1 and 2 of breaking bad. First season was eight(!!) years ago

Love it. Really clever and Saul's/Jimmy's character is superb. Also love Mike and it's made me restart Breaking Bad for the 8th time.

Thought the finale was a bit poor tho and the ending a little obvious

I'm enjoying it, but it does feel a little slow paced. Like they are so confident they won't get cancelled, they don't feel the need to rush it. As I say, I am enjoying it, just not used to shows not forcing in big season finishes or cliff hangers.

Really like it. Sometimes I'm not sure why but I guess I like the Jimmy/Kim relationship and Mike's gradual interactions with a range of people from BB. Pretty interesting since so few characters to really engage with

Post by: DaveShoelace on April 21, 2016, 02:18:28 PM
Love it, it's basically a Madmen paced Breaking Bad. The best season of BCS is not as good as the worst season of BB, but they are all absolutely amazing and better than everything else on telly.

Enjoyed it as much as any other season but it's starting to meander a bit, doesn't feel like Jimmy will ever become Saul, and by the time he does, half the actors will look too old for their characters.

Really?  Are you on S3?

Spoilers below this line....







I'd have bet money on him being Saul for S4.  He's already traded as Saul doing the ads and given that he's burnt his bridges with the old dears, he's going to need a new niche.  He did well getting the guy on the community service time out for an easy $700 so hopefully will be attracted by that.

I finished Series 4 the other day.  The final scene had me grinning widely at the screen, along with the knowledge that there's more to come.  I'd expected this one to be the final series with how the storyline was knitting together, but thankfully not.

I think I'm in the "it's better than Breaking Bad" camp, but that might be doing a dis-service to BB, as it's a while since I watched it.  What's undeniable though is that Better Call Saul is high-quality TV, and I can't wait for it to return.

Really enjoying BCS too. I'm inclined to the view that, whilst it's very good indeed, it's not quite up there with BB.

It's beautifully scripted, and there's a guaranteed curve-ball every episode, with lots of yet to be developed plot lines simmering along too. Connecting the plot & characters to BB is part of the fun.

Think I'll binge rewatch the whole of series 4.

(One thing I can't quite reconcile, is the complete lack of sexual chemistry between Jimmy & Kim. Totally get how they'd be friends. Don't get how they could be lovers). Discuss?

Thankfully there's a long way to go before Jimmy/Saul gets to Cinnabon.

It's the main thing I really want to find out about Saul's breaking bad life now that we know how he got his name. How did he and Kim end up parting??

I thought this was going to be it although I also had visions of Lalo's brains being splattered over her being the final straw rather than getting killed.

Seems a slight inconsistency that Saul and Mike aren't much closer in Breaking Bad given what they've now been through together although I guess Mike's general attitude covers it off reasonably.

My prediction is Kim actually is the one who really breaks bad, and may even actually be a presence in the normal BB timeline and future.

I love the show, but they need to wrap it up swiftly in season 6 because otherwise it's going to seem implausible. It already seems a stretch that the very complex Jimmy is the one note Saul we see in BB.

Kim has been the best part of the show for me.
