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

These cartel dudes and their hiring of identical twin heavies ...

holy shit

breaking good more like

the AMC adverts in which other AMC program actors are invisibly forced at gun-point to tell us how much they like "breaking bad"

is very strange

lol @ skyler getting so annoyed w/ ted that she just had to blow cover and school him

tbf ted is basically an unmitigated horror so its p understandable, shouldve just punched him in the nutz tho, more effective

Can't wait til dead gets killed.

Lol Ted even. Ted gets dead.

i could even see Ted trying to blackmail Sky, since obv he is going to know something is not on the level.

now.

yes, that is how ted will get dead. he doesn't know what he's walking into!

my bet's on skylar killing ted

and then the pink makeup washes off her face in the rain to reveal the cackling visage of The Joker

pretty sure the show will not end with "guy with terminal disease keeps on living, for now"

how far into this are u?

there was a time when i saw cranstons character taking over the organization but that def seems like an unlikely ending at this pt.

I think the show could easily end with "guy with terminal disease keeps on living, for now, in a hell of his own creation".

yeah i mean first off im pretty sure in interviews they said they wouldnt kill him off? it also just seems really unlikely -- I'm SPOILER FOR SOME DUDE

assuming some dude just hasn't gotten to the part about the cancer being in remission?

death is letting him off way too easy

hes become such an annoying character, like watching a living human migraine

there's something really satisfying about watching characters in this show who are in control, and something really terrifyingly abrasive about characters flailing about

Like i said up thread, there's some reason to believe that his cancer may have returned. And fwiw Cranston has said on a couple of occasions that he thinks Walter will definitely die by the end of the show, but i guess only Vince Gilligan really knows.

Maybe not even him.

Holly knows.

Who's Holly?

death wouldn't be letting him off easy if he'd fucked up his entire life to the point that nobody cared about whether he lived or not.

Anyway, an interesting turn the show has taken is that Walt has essentially been marginalized. It's all about Jesse and Gus, Skyler and Ted, Holly and her babysitter. Walt is floundering, left in the dark.

I mean, you can't even describe the show as "meth dealing high school teacher" anymore.

meth cooking meth cooker

shitty fighter.

kind of funny now that i think about it - Jesse's advice to him a few episodes ago: "you get used to it... getting your ass kicked"

So the peak of Walt's reign, as such, was his "I am the one who knocks!' speech to Skyler, right? It's been all downhill from there.

Pretty sure he was on a downward slide before that

ive pinpointed his peak somewhere in the first minute of the first episode

LOVE PIZZA TOSSING

highlight of the series. Although great controversy on if it was staged.

there is a facebook page called 'walter white pizza tossing'

the mystery of the sliceless pizza was answered. that controversy has been put to rest.

read a thing where gillian said they had a rig all ready make it happen but then cranston just gave it a shot and did it on his 1st try

talent

what I miss in the current season is the bleak little slapstick things like that, haven't been too many of them and I miss the flavor of pizza toss

I mean aside from gale's karaoke tape obv

Yeah, but we got the "Mike and Jesse Show" for the LOLs.

Plus Jesse's money-in-tweaker's-mouth toss

Plus we got the reveal of the unsliced pizza place

btw saul goodman's suit in the recent ep. starting to rival craig sager

nobody can truly rival seger

eh you might be right walt could die ignominiously -- i just dont think its a foregone conclusion

one thing this show is so good at is twisting things forward so tbh its hard for me to imagine a satisfying denouement although if any writers could do it its these guys

yeah i mean first off im pretty sure in interviews they said they wouldnt kill him off? it also just seems really unlikely -- I'm SPOILER FOR SOME DUDE

assuming some dude just hasn't gotten to the part about the cancer being in remission?

ha dude why would i be reading & responding to recent posts on this thread on the reg if i wasn't caught up on the latest episodes?

it makes total sense for them to do occasional 'the cancer isn't that bad right now, don't worry about it for the time being' hand-waves as the show goes on for a few seasons but does anyone really think that at some point this show will be about a guy who used to have cancer and now will most likely live into old age?

its not really about the cancer any more -- by the time it went into remission it was basically a subplot -- cancer was just a catalyst for letting out his inner crazy
