budgetary constraints
interesting!

Yeah, that's pretty much the rationale behind every bottle episode ever. If the entire ep of a show takes place in a single location, chances are they're saving up cash for showier eps.

Budgetary constraints are no excuse. That's when the writers need to turn up their game the most!

self-referential bottle episode of Community was phenomenal for example
though i'm kind of in the middle on "Fly", not sure if the great last section makes up for having to get through the rest of it
― Nhex, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:48 (fourteen years ago)
i thought fly was fantastic and plays to the shows strengths v well, especially its excellence in physical comedy

iirc i hated the fly episode until it was over and i could fully digest it

haha i dont think i ever watched the whole thing
― Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 02:59 (fourteen years ago)
It definitely got better as it went on. I can't stop watching this damn show.
― wolf kabob (ENBB), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:00 (fourteen years ago)
agreed with canks; not sure how this DOESN'T play to show's strengths: tight scripting, virtuoso direction, one-on-one acting, slapstick, etc

this show is mostly p bad at dialogue and restraint imo
― Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:02 (fourteen years ago)
all that terrible breaking bad dialogue
― diamanda ram dass (Edward III), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:16 (fourteen years ago)
yes
― Lamp, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 03:19 (fourteen years ago)
Could take a page from the Revenge book on dialogue and restraint amirite

As bottle episodes go Fly is good, but Four Days Out from season two is better.

Walter H. White: And, and bring me, bring me brake pads. The front wheels should have discs. Take them off and bring them to me. Jesse Pinkman: Alright, brake pads. Okay. What are we building? Walter H. White: You said it yourself. Jesse Pinkman: A robot?

yeah four days out might be my single favorite ep, it's tough though. saul goodman's introductory episode is a pip too

that's just sort of how aaron paul is though, if his twitter acct is any indication.

True, Aero, but this show has a history of delivering just that.

With a very lengthy mid-season break as predicted, boo.
― I wish to incorporate disco into my small business (chap), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 00:12 (fourteen years ago)
and by very lengthy you mean "about a year". was really hoping it'd be 8 this summer, 8 this winter.
― Clay, Tuesday, 22 May 2012 00:32 (fourteen years ago)
so it really is two short seasons.
― A Little Princess btw (s1ocki), Tuesday, 22 May 2012 00:33 (fourteen years ago)
yeah closer to the last sopranos season than anything.

Roundtable interview w/ Vince Gilligan, Matthew Weiner, David Milch

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 25 May 2012 19:05 (fourteen years ago)
I love how it's Weiner and Gilligan talking pretty straightforward, then Milch has to pipe in with:
David Milch: The symbol retains its hold long after the substance which the symbol is supposed to represent has lost its real basis. Look. [pulls a stack of scratch-off lottery tickets from his pocket] I just stopped and got gas, so, like an idiot, I bought a bunch of scratch-offs
