Breaking Bad (AMC) TV Show • Page 24

lol....AMC sucks sometimes man. I mean obviously more budget wouldn't save TWD from it's writing woes but these shows were raking in the money, let them spend it!

 

I love bottle episodes.

 

Bottle episodes are not an AMC thing (tho AMC is notoriously shitty in how they treat their shows)

4 Days Out was supposed to be a bottle episode but it ended up being one if their most expensive episodes

 

Totally agree, I love that episode

 

Also pretty pissed about the death in S5Ep7 (didn’t feel like doing spoiler tags lol). Sucks.

 

The angriest i’ve ever been at this show.

 

Well we watched the mid season finale and mid season premier.

I mean I knew something was going to happen since the flash forward at the start of the season showed us Walt is not in great shape, to say the least. But I didn’t expect that to be the twist to screw it up once he finally got out. If I was watching live I would have been so pissed (in a good way) at that cliffhanger lol.

Didn’t expect them to confront each other so soon. And finally saw the tread lightly line. Whew. So much tension.

I just don’t get Walt’s play here. Hank still had nothing to go on but the book. All he had to do was let the tracker stay and show Hank that he isn’t going anywhere and if Hank ever confronted him about knowing Gale, it seems like the obvious lie is to say he had helped Gale out with some chemical questions but realized when Hank was telling him what Gale was into that he had inadvertently helped Gale make crystal meth so he froze up/was scared to admit it.

I mean obviously his toxic masculinity/attitude wouldnt let him do that but...seems like the best play to me.

 

Buckle the fuck up, @David87

 

One of my favourite decisions the writers made in the whole series. I really thought the confrontation was going to be avoided, and there'd be a cat and mouse game between Hank and Walt over the majority of the final run in. To have the confrontation in the first episode back was in some ways a very brave decision. Plus, I really like the fact that it's Walt that instigates it, with a sort of reverse-Columbo.

 

Ohhhhh shit. The nazis showed up and got into a shootout with hank and gomey.

assuming gomey is gonna die and either hank or Jesse too. Shit.

 

Goddamn, even I couldn't escape the hype of Ozymandias when it was released and I literally never watched a second of the show at the time. I can see why now. Just a brilliant episode in every way. And really fucking hard to watch between what happens at the start and Walt's play at the end. Ugh.

I think I'm supposed to hate Walt for everything he's wrought but...is it weird that I don't? I mean there's two episodes left so who knows what's gonna happen but as of right now he....did the unselfish thing at the end with Skyler and making sure she's exonerated and the kids have their mom. I'm wondering if that was his play the entire time with swiping Holly, knowing it would bring cops and traced calls and etc.

On the other hand, he completely fucked Jesse. And did it as fucking evilly as possible with telling him about Jane. Fuck man. BUT the flash forward we saw at the start with him coming back with a machine gun and getting the ricin, I'm guessing that has something to do with Jesse. Not sure if he's going on a rescue mission or Jesse got a way and is a threat thoigh.


Semi-related, if you're gonna disappear somewhere, New Hampshire definitely works. A bald white guy with a goatee will fit in just fine in New Hampshire lol.

 

Was waiting for the Ozymandias review haha. That is one of the tensest and most fucked up hours of television. Just thinking about it makes me sweat.

 

I remember just being floored by that episode. Its got a good case for being my favourite episode of anything.

 

Naaaahhhh, Walt is still a selfish prick, he could have turned himself in and saved his family so much trouble.

Episode is fantastic though, agreed there 100%

 

tbf, he tried to turn himself in to Hank and the nazis fucked it up lol.

I think once that went down, he didn’t seem to think there was any way that just turning himself in was going to spare Skyler from any legal trouble. His initial reaction was “we need to run” but once he saw that he finally pushed Skyler over the limit and he had time to think about it, he realized the best play was to try and find a way to absolve her of any legal trouble and disappear.

It doesn’t absolve him of blame for, well, all the actions he’s taken that forced his family into the situation in the first place of course. But I liked that the episode showed how hard it was hitting him as he tried to do the next best thing he could do before leaving his kids forever.

 

Yeaaaaah, naaaaaahhh... he didn't try to turn himself in to Hank - he got caught in a ploy by Hank & Jesse, and rather than kill himself or come out shooting, he gave up. It's nowhere near the same as turning himself in, and really only shows how selfish and self-centered he was, right up to the end of it all.

He wouldn't have been *anywhere* near Hank if they hadn't tricked him into thinking Jesse was burning his money. It was all reaction when his hand was forced.

 

See 'El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie' alternate ending where Jesse tries to propose to Jane

 

Lol loving all the $600 memes

 

Breaking Bad was never boring

 

Yeah ill never understand those people, the first season is one of the most immediately gripping I've ever seen.

 

Yeah I think when people rewatch the show they're subconsciously waiting for the Gus storyline to start and they mistakenly think it was a bit dull before then.

The only thing 'wrong' with the first season is that, because of the famous writer's strike, it doesn't have the big crescendo end that the other seasons have. There are some fantastic episodes in that run - the pilot, And The Bag Is In The River, Gray Matter.

 

The first three episodes of Breaking Bad are bonkers. Insane take.

 

I know three people personally who call the first season boring.



How.
