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

Prrrrretty sure I called off work and spent part of the day watching Breaking Bad at least once.

"man, if only Jesse would kick his drug addiction sooner, I could get back to that assignment, boss..."

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.

otm

Yeah, I am sure I have mentioned on this thread how I would watch some episodes from another room, peeking around the corner at the TV. It was too intense for direct input.

yeah there's just so much tension in this show that watching more than 2 episodes in a row would just be too exhausting

best part was when abe lincoln threw that pizza on the roof iirc

and then he killed a vampire, was awes

I was shocked to discover that Walt, Jr. had been faking his disability all this time to cover up the fact that he had mutant superpowers.

Well, let's not exaggerate too much. They aren't mutant powers per se, as they developed after Walt, Jr. tried some of the radioactive meth Walt cooked up for the C.H.U.D.s who saved him from Tezcatlipoca's panther men.

Who are all gay.

hilarious.

guy in my office has spent the past month watching the whole series; he is now on the last three episodes of season four and i'm really excited for him to get to zombie gus

I mean...that's an awesome part of the series, but I hope your coworker isn't as thrown as we all were when Bryan Cranston left immediately before that and was replaced by Ed Kowalczyk.

season one down

ENBB becoming a fiend for that good blue meth

hold on to yr effin hat

BEST SEASON EVAH. (Wel, not really, every season is BESTEST SEASON EVAH)

wait till you guys get to the musical 17th centure british episode in s3. cranston CAN'T FUCKING SING.

*century...

He looks surprisingly great in a powdered wig, though.

4th season did feel like the best to me

S3 4 lyfe

I stan for 2. The leap in quality is astonishing.

the whole airplane bit in S2 drags it down for me

amazed by how much is packed into the last 2 eps of S3, when I rewatched them it felt like a season's worth of stuff was jammed in there. final scene of S3 is the moral black hole of the entire series.

So far...

I didn't mind the airplane stuff.

Really find it confounding just how much BB fans hate the end of S2. It was a little bit of a cop-out after all the pre-credit teases, but I still think it was in line with the show's overall theme of consequence.

Not that it can even hope to compare, of course, to the last shot of S3, which is all-time.

Only three eps into S4 and there's a lot of plant, but so far middling payoff. I'm sorry, but I wanted Marie to be collateral damage two seasons ago, and now she's back on the klepto kick? Zzzzzzz.

i didnt love the S2 ending, but it was redeemed for me when they showed the fallout of it at the beginning of S3

It's sort of strange to me that Aaron Paul won his Emmy for "Half Measure" and Bryan Cranston won for "Full Measure." I'd have switched the eps around.

I think most people would have been ok with the end of S2 if it wasn't for the misdirection from all those pre-credit sequences.

S4 > S3 > S2 > S1. And there aren't many shows I can say that about.

Really can't wait for S4 to kick in, then.

all the seasons are basically equal to me since i marathoned the whole thing. its all just one big story to me, and it seems fairly consistent in tone

no way is s4 better than s3... not even close.

I'm of the "they're all tied for first" mindset about seasons 1-3.

S4 and 3 are very close for me but S4 just had this exceptional pileup of "holy shit" moments. The end of 3 is way way better though, best cliffhanger ever.

i'm never gonna argue with RUN but ZOMBIE GUS people

I didn't like Zombie Gus. RUN is obviously one of the greatest TV moments ever

Zombie Gus was a tad ott for me - i'd have to side with "Run" in regards to individual scenes.
can't pick a favourite season tho. they all rool.

zombie gus vs. the one-two punch of half measures/full measure

plus they should've given an extra bonus emmy to jonathan banks just for this

Just recently realized that Mike was in Beverly Hills Cop! I thought he looked familiar.

Mike's scene there is all-time. I quote it liberally to explain to people 'bout my 'tude.

like... you tell them you shoved a gun is some dude's mouth?!

No half measures, brah.

*SPOILERS (ENBB AND OTHERS AVERT YOUR EYES)*

The one plot point that really bugged me was how easily Gus got revenge on the cartel that killed his partner years earlier. I mean yeah I know he drank first to build trust, but like why would you knowingly drink something from someone that you don't fully trust (and that you know probably still hates you) without having someone else try it first.

kinda redeemed it though with Gus screaming at everybody that their boss was dead. that was badass.

and then when he sprouted wings and starting terrorizing Manhattan

How did it take me this long to realize that Breaking Bad is the tv adaptation of Q The Winged Serpent?!

I think we established earlier that if Zombie Gus had had a fully choreographed dance routine before he died + a catchphrase just as he dropped, forks would have thought it was "even better"

I am away for the weekend and can't start season 2 until next week. Sad face,

aero i'd like to see YOU do a fully choreographed dance routine and catch phrase sometime
that shit ain't easy with a hole in your head
