Shall we anticpate the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

there's a slight diff between killing gus and gale - gus is surrounded by heavies and not even the cartel fucks w him. how in the world could walt and jesse even attempt it??

blow up his house w/magic crystals ala s1, stake out pollos i dunno, walt had access, gus didnt know he was onto him; granted the schedule was pretty tight

it doesn't really make any sense to me that he'd do that though...like...if he hadn't killed gale his life was worthless to gus or whoever followed up gus.

as mentioned the gus/walt relationship is now completely untenable, they basically have to kill gus, only difference from before is gus knows they know they have to kill him - i mean how long does it take to find a criminal chemist, thats how long walt has to act

yeah i defo agree for future survival, but gale had to go first, that was his priority. they can't miss a week's shipment gus said, so killing gale buys him at least a few days vs being shot in the head at the laundry there and then.;

but be fore he had the drop on gus now gus is likely to do something rash - can he really just let walt go abt his workaday routine, what if he goes to the cops, what if he goes buck - while walt did you know 'avoid death' he didnt really solve any problems particularly

I thought he meant Gus at first, too. Assumed some ricin-based "now you come break bread at my gaff" antics.

yeah but like...dying would be worse than not dying, he totally didn't solve any probs but he managed to not be shot in the head, what else could he feasibly have done?

killed gus

gone to the cops

ran

Assumed some ricin-based "now you come break bread at my gaff" antics.

Seriously doubt Gus would've fallen for this.

No, me either. He should have built a robot, rly

next time walt or jesse try to poison somebody, they should put it in rice. it's called "rice-in" and not "burrito-in" for a reason, yo.

OK just finished season 3. Wheeeee that was fun. Was not entirely convinced that Jessie shot Gale until I read upthread

Where can I get a Heisenberg Hat?

Black wool pork pie hat

cooool! thanks!!

Dude that hat is so bomb. I am not kidding, I might buy it

I also like the things that Victor, Gus' lackey wears. Check his jacket in the "Jessie has to shake the dealers' hands" scene. Dope

Also OMG the baby is sooooooooo cute! Did you all talk about it upthread? Best TV baby ever imo

when she touched walter's beard and took off his classes? great

hi i finally watched this too

it's very good

and VERY sopranos

in regards to the "what they should do now" thing, i really feel they are setting walt up to be the next gus, which maybe means he has to kill him. think about it - 1) vince gilligan has said the arc of the show is "mr chips to scarface," implying that walt will sort of become a drug lord and not just a cook 2) gus is the most like walt than any other character from that milieu 3) all the foreshadowing of getting wifey in the business etc

This really can't keep going any longer than two more season imo

and VERY sopranos

I disagree. Sopranos is a lengthyt character study, BB is an extended crime thriller. Love both, but BB has so much more narrative momentum.

BB's got plenty of character stuff tho

Of course, but it's driven by narrative whereas Sopranos is driven by character.

also gossips!!!!

feel like bb is somewhat sopranos

I feel like every show which features marital tension post-Sopranos is somewhat Sopranos.

I disagree. Sopranos is a lengthyt character study, BB is an extended crime thriller. Love both, but BB has so much more narrative momentum.

im not saying its exactly the same but BB is clearly pulling a lot of plays from the sopranos playbook. both are about family men doing morally dubious/reprehensible shit and yet the audience is still onboard, juggling life of crime with family, and the wifey stuff is REALLY similar

the main thing is this protagonist who the show keeps pushing further and further, dragging him more and more down, taking the audience along, playing with our sympathies & testing them

Very true. I pretty much thought i'd lost all sympathy for Walter after what happened to Jane but damned if i didn't find myself rooting for him again by the end of the third season.

haha fuck jane

A friend sent me this, pretty rad:

rad! been catching up on this show. so great. first season was a bit slow, but second and third masterful all the way. only thing disappointing was the lack of hank in the later 3.

it all reminds me a lot of the shield, rooting for a guy doing a lot of awful stuff, with every clever solution leading to a situation a lot worse than the one he was trying to get out of.

New interview with Cranston. Brief but some fun bits in there.

I don't know if it's possible to participate in this thread w/o having seen the most recent episodes and not stumble onto spoilers but I'm catching up on DVD and...I liked season 1, but halfway through season 2 I feel like this is getting so stupid and unrewarding I kinda want to just stop and never watch this show again. I never heard anything about it falling off, am I alone here? If not, does it get better?

yes

what do you think is stupid about it?

the whole thing seems pretty good to me, i think you should just keep with it.

this show is god fuiud

when is the next season coming out?

i was hoping thats what this bump was abt you can imagine how disappointed i was

i like the first two seasons but the third is on another level

weird I was just looking for this thread since I started watching recently, a little ways into s2

This is the best American tv show ever

have to wait until july for next season. has anyone who comes in and asked to be convinced to like something they don't like ever been made to like what they don't like?

if they know whats good for them, which they dont

otfm. also o_O at the fly catching episode.

That flickr of location shots listed upthread is A+ btw. Would totally do a self-guided BB location tour if I ever go to ABQ, which is incredibly unlikely.

the last season was as good as it's been
