im late LATE to BrBa (finished season 4 last friday night) but Im having the best time reading this thread, episode by episode, where you early adopters thought the storyline would go or impressions of a character. 20/20, right? Also, Tracer's enthusiasm has been A++ . Very refreshing for an ILX tv thread.

I thought this was back last night, I was eagerly awaiting the torrent. D:

started and finished S4 on Friday (I think the show actually transmits meth, lol) -- psyched for this imo

I thought this was back last night, I was eagerly awaiting the torrent. D:

me too, rushed home to get it

I heard an interview with Aaron Paul the other week, and he just sounds so much like Jesse I half-think of him as the character, it's so dumb.

“But Chapo’s greatest contribution to the evolving tradecraft of drug trafficking was one of those innovations that seem so logical in hindsight it’s a wonder nobody thought of it before: a tunnel. In the late 1980s, Chapo hired an architect to design an underground passageway from Mexico to the United States. What appeared to be a water faucet outside the home of a cartel attorney in the border town of Agua Prieta was in fact a secret lever that, when twisted, activated a hydraulic system that opened a hidden trapdoor underneath a pool table inside the house. The passage ran more than 200 feet, directly beneath the fortifications along the border, and emerged inside a warehouse the cartel owned in Douglas, Ariz. Chapo pronounced it ‘cool.’

(From the NYTimes piece on drug cartel economics: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/17/magazine/how-a-mexican-drug-cartel-makes-its-billions.html)

ya that article is great

i was thinking about posting that here, def a great read. made me think "wow, BB is more realistic than i thought!"

this was the best bit for me:

“They erect this fence,” he said, “only to go out there a few days later and discover that these guys have a catapult, and they’re flinging hundred-pound bales of marijuana over to the other side.” He paused and looked at me for a second. “A catapult,” he repeated. “We’ve got the best fence money can buy, and they counter us with a 2,500-year-old technology.”

Have the cartels tried building a giant wooden horse yet?

cut to the chase, let's have castles and boiling oil vats too

ha ha - i just finished watching Battle Castle so i'm 100% down with that happening!

new S5 clip: http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/07/02/breaking-bad-season-5-clip/

Tomorrow's the big day, huh? I'm looking forward to it.

Also, for another perspective on the drug trade, I would like to recommend the new telenovela about Pablo Escobar that's on Telemundo. I've only watched two eps so far, but it's surprisingly good and has the feel of BB en español (only set in Colombia in the 80s). At the very least fans of BB will find something to like in it. I've never seen anyone in any other tv show get so upset about an extradition treaty.

from http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/07/12/bryan-cranston-picks-13-favorite-breaking-bad-moments.html :

So flash forward to today: the lovely people who own that house where we shoot the exteriors, they will have, from time to time, someone who will take pictures in front of the White house. They get the address from somewhere. Several people have come with pizzas and they ask if they can put this pizza up to take pictures? And they say, “Go ahead.” They’re very nice people.

They get the address from somewhere.

Vince Gilligan and the cast at Comic-Con talking to io9.

I imagine there'll be an awesome dead-dog session watching the season premiere in the con suite.

watching an awful movie on AMC right now -- whole lotta breaking bad ads

are you watching BASIC

busted

Can I just...

Shall we anticipate the FIFTH SEASON of the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

are you watching BASIC

I totally was. Mid-nineties cop or military intrigue-with-twist movies like BASIC or Primal Fear are fuckin catnip to me

big the general's daughter fan?

not as of yet but you may trust that it's going straight into the netflix queue

what i remember the most about that movie is one critic describing travolta as looking like a bull on its hind legs

I remember renting Basic and my friend was so incensed by the end I had to pull the DVD out of his hand and he wound up throwing a chair across the room instead.

Longer interview with V. Gilligan.

this could all still happen

Huh, they even nominated Tio Salamanca from S4!

That's pretty excellent!

I'm really glad to see them give Anna Gunn some love too.

She had some great moments with both Ted and eyebrows car wash guy.

her plastic face had many great expression in S4, true

if he loses the emmy I hope he makes this face and starts ringing a bell

Somehow I hadn't seen that season 5 trailer before. What a great use of "Oh Well".

mark margolis is an awesome actor, good for him

gunn had some great moments in s4 too, i thought she was killer in that phone scene at the very end of the finale

just realized that all of this show's favorite directorial flourishes are taken from the 'thunderstruck' video

It took me as long to read this thread as it did to watch everything. Now that I got cable, what a difference between waiting seven days for an episode versus watching three or four in two hour: no time to let events sink in. But this thread helped. You guys were great.

Spectacular ending to Season Four -- maybe the best finale I've seen.
