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

We just adopted two cats and named them GUS and MARIE

Well spouse insisted on Maria, but close enough.

So Press Play has edited together the teaser/prologues for each episode of the first two seasons and put them together, and they got a critic who has never seen the show to write about them.

that was weird

Cranston says it's back in July!

apparently it will be split, 8 episodes in the summer, 8 in winter 2013.

ARGH

uncool

i'm cool with it. Nice opportunity for a big old cliffhanger in the middle

thats a long wait in between, but im jonesin' for new eps so this summer sounds great

does winter 2013 star this december, or december 2013?

this December

yar that makes more sense

Just started this. SO GOOD! AH!

ENBB I do hope you don't have anything important on your calendar for the next...month.

(cuz "oh just one more episode" turns into 3-4 and then suddenly the weekend is over, with this show...lol)

Ha! Seriously.

Only like 4 eps into season 1 so not gonna read the thread yet. Just needed to register my excitement thus far.

oh dang, just wait...lol. and yeah good idea not reading this thread.

It's weird...when I think back to my reaction to the series during season 1, I thought it was solidly entertaining and slightly OTT in a good way, but I couldn't have imagined at the time that I'd ever call it the best show on TV. But it pretty much is now.

ENBB, you have seen NOTHING.

Deric OTM

I think my first inkling came during that scene with Krazy 8 tied up downstairs in the basement, just this long, slow battle of wills with no relief in sight

i still felt this way in like season 4. it was those last few episodes that did it for me and they had me trippin' for like a week.

ENBB, you have seen NOTHING.

Yeah, I know. Got that impression.

my favorite episode is the one where the nuclear bomb explodes in New Mexico and Walt and Walter Junior get fused together and become MegaWalt

the bit with abe lincoln in that episode was pretty dumb imo.

I guess I understand that, as Lincoln's presence was clearly being used as a clumsy parallel of Walt in the midst of his attempt to unite the gangs of north and south Albuquerque, but it really paid off when you learned that Walt was at some point going to go back in time and assume the identity of Ulysses S. Grant.

i thought the Lincoln thing was a sort of reference to the x-files? you know, because of the aliens.

It was sort of cool the whole Hank appearing as Benedict Arnold in Jesse's future-predicting dream, before Walt when back though. Still think we haven't seen the last of what they were getting at there.

when marie sprouted dragonfly wings and ate hank's brain, totally did not see that coming

And then the whole thing happening in Walt Jr.'s snow globe?

o_O

I know it looks weird when you see it all written out like that, but all of these plot threads work surprisingly well in context. Once you get to the point in season 2 when Walt enters the VR universe and creates his current vegetable-based body, all of these seemingly disparate elements start effortlessly gliding into place.

I will say, though, that the episode done entirely in semaphore was maddening.

Classic bottle episode. Gilligan said it was to save money on dialogue sound recording. If so it's brilliant.

tbf, Cranston and Gunn were masterful during the sex scene. It was like colorguard porn.

when Skylar revealed she was actually Walter's sister it was kinda gross tho

Though I felt it jumped the shark when Walt jnr started writing a TV script about his family which was basically over-signalling 'and that is what you have just watched'. You can get too pomo and navel-gazey.

I love how when Hank is a badass he's a science badass. At least, so far . . .

Ha, I mean Walt

Walt pretty much just keeps on being a science badass.

It occurs to me that there actually are some plot points which look almost as insane on paper as those we've delineated in recent posts. Like how Walt basically caused that ***** to ***** at the end of season 2?

yeah, and how he **** himself afterwards was really gross

BJO you're were so right. Just finished an ep and I am trying really really hard not to start another. Ahh!

Love how this series has had two of the least sexy **** ***s of all time.

@ENBB -- yup. it was essentially why I showed up an hour later than usual to work for like a period of two weeks, cuz I'd literally watch eps until A. my eyelids got heavy or b. the clock said 2 am.

the day taht I got to the last episode I actually couldn't sleep cuz i was excited to wake up and watch it but wanted to make sure I was well-rested

OMG stop! I am now sitting here trying to figure out if you're all still playing and or not and trying to fill in your damn blanks.

ha, this is one of the only shows that i'm really into and WON'T watch obsessively - there was always a terrible sense of dread going into each new episode, i would put off seeing the latest one for like 2 weeks sometimes.

I finished the last episode of s3 at about 1 AM with work the next day. Was so pumped up after I had to get out of bed and pace around the house for about an hour.

I let out a little excited squeal after the second to last ep of season 3. was glad nobody heard it cuz it sounded like a dying mouse

RUN
