?

its the second ) - ilx never catches it

you guys must've hated the end of the godfather

In fairness, Michael's shown to be a lying, dishonorable fuck (killed his bro-in-law, denies it to his wife), and in II even moreso (kills his brother).

yeah, there is absolutely no antagonism between Walt and Jesse in season 1. They are total bros.

jesse is not the antagonist in any season of the show, the have a rocky relationship but he is in fact walts closest ally

you want to see some s1 antagonists:

Maximino Arciniega as Krazy-8 Molina (3 episodes)
Raymond Cruz as Tuco Salamanca (2 episodes)

neither of whom im sry to report ever revealed themselves to be lovable in comparison to gus

eh, I'd say he was Walt's antagonist in the first episode, maybe the first two, until we get to crazy 8, his cousin, and so on.

the antagonist is CANCER

when does cancer become a loveable rogue

it was rough the way jesse was antagonizing walt getting tracked down in his back yard and offered a business proposal

eh, I'd say he was Walt's antagonist in the first episode, maybe the first two, until we get to crazy 8, his cousin, and so on.

Aren't krazy and emilio in the first episode? And they try to kill Walt and Jesse? Like an antagonist might do?

i mean stay out of yr back yard otherwise the poor guy is gonna come try to get to to cook meth w/him in the desert and youre going to do it you monster

okay okay okay i give up, it isn't as tidy as that, but it is related in the sense that as a viewer you are put in a position of moral relativism between scumbag 1 and scumbag 2, except that scumbag 1 is the protagonist, Walt.

was thinking more of vito - an old school guy with a code who lives to a ripe old age, dies peacefully

maybe breaking bad will end with mike having a heart attack while playing hungry hippos or feeding his chickens

lag otm re: jesse, can't believe this is even a debate

i agree it was awesome they way they did it on deadwood but i just dont see it operating much on breaking bad which is more just abt the moral decline of walt - tho i guess you could say if you wanted to stretch it that hes taking baby steps to villianhood by taking a relative view of his past indiscretions

the oh so delicate baby steps of poisoning a child

he took a lot of them to get there

9 according to CNN

one of my fave little details from this ep was that the kid's picture on the fridge behind walt when he was trying to pitch mike to help him set up shop included, in child's script, the phrase "blue is good"

as noted by a gazillion redditors too apparently

ok - so that fucking CNN piece did the same thing everyone here was doing when Walt "Let Jane die".
he had previously handed Jesse a gun and told him to take care of the guys the ripped them off. literally ordered him to kill some people. but everyone flew off the handle later on, when he watched this attractive young girl choke to death on her own vomit; saying that he had "gone too far" and yadda yadda.

just a thing that always bothered me about peoples reaction to this show - letting an attractive girl die is in no way worse than ordering the murder of two junkies, people!

"the guys that ripped them off"

really wish this show never did a musical montage

Q: (and who the fuck has that kind of james bond thought process to zap yourself with a defibrillator under your tongue? dude prolly shoulda just jumped off the roof but I guess that's less compelling tv)

ha ha, that was the answer in my head too!

for a second I was trying to remember when the cast broke into song

xps

of all the big HBO/AMC shows from the past decade or so i think only The Sopranos was really adept at using music

and yet The Sopranos had the worst theme song of them all

you had the worst...etc

you woke up this morning and forgot yourself a zing

I grow to love even the mot horrible theme songs if I love the show

not me, i'm like "this again? really?" every time

all that time on the IA thread I thought *I* was the grump

:)

The Sopranos theme worked because it was exactly the dumb kind of edgy song some mobster would pick as his show open.

Used to goose sunny at the end when it would do the whip-pow! thing.

The Wire had the best theme music

i wasnt super crazy about the cold open cuz it was so obv the guy was gonna kill himself in some inventive breaking bad way, i kept thinking, the only way this scene is gonna surprise me is if he doesnt do it

Terriers had the best theme song of the past few years

I love the Terriers theme song. I liked John from Cincinnati's better, but that one was kind of cheating.

is this the Terriers theme song?

sadly no, but I think "Gunfight Symphony" is an able replacement

Wow, Thermo. Thanks for new avatar!

At this point basically everyone needs to go to jail except Walt Jr., and even then, they should send him to useless character jail. It almost seemed like an in joke when they made a point of showing that he .... DID NOT FINISH HIS BREAKFAST

uh, wasnt that a shot of skylar's breakfast, the point being she still hadnt left her bedrest?

That's how I read it s1ocki.

yup

Who pours the milk onto cereal served for someone still in bed?
