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

i reckon it was the book until about season three or four, then it switched to stuff that was really happening.

Walt rhymes with fault

...'fault' originates from the past principle latin fallere or to deceive.... also originating from the latin fallere, 'fallacy'..... twaughthammer's breakout song was 'Fallacies'.......O...M....G

gr8080 and josh in chicago talking the most sense on this thread, 100 or so posts up. one thing though, sopranos ending was great AND not ambiguous at all (not after reading that billion word analysis of it that i can't find right now anyway)

I loved the Sopranos ending. What's the argument that it's not ambiguous though?

did this get posted yet

xpost initially yeah, but not (for me) after reading this: http://masterofsopranos.wordpress.com/the-sopranos-definitive-explanation-of-the-end/

My favourite theory like this is that all of BB was a book Skyler was wrote after Walt's cancer diagnosis,

Would explain why she was living in a shitty basement at the end.

Should've ended with montage of this backed with "Thank You, Friends" by Big Star

lol

We all forgot about Ted :(

it would have been terrible but in retrospect jesse's barbaric yawp was a prime opportunity for a tortured biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch

Poor Ted. If this were the Marvel universe, he would discover Walt's secret plans and rebuild himself as a cyborg, then return as a supervillain bent of revenge called Heisenberg (or Heisenberg II, for the Marvel nerds). Badger and Skinny Pete would be his henchmen. And Walt Jr would be struck by lightning and develop the power to fight him, school and crutches and caring for his poor family by day, foiling Heisenberg, um, the rest of the time.

Zweisenberg

could someone with a subscription post this here or somewhere: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2004/02/16/040216fa_fact_grann looks fascinating

i would but i don't know how to extract nyer stuff from their weird reader thing

woah weird it let me view it just now w/o logging in... try clicking the link at the bottom?

Is that the Aryan Brotherhood piece?

yes

oh yeah, grady is right, i'm not actually logged in

ah brilliant! would like the text so i could send to kindle but this will do nicely

i can YSI a PDF, gr8080 @ gmail if u need

FWIW, Vince Gilligan refers to them as Nazis, but he's privy to backstory.

xpost, thanks but i'll read online!

this fuckin guy

"quite literally broke my heart"

holy shit at that.

the only thing that saves that piece from being a total embarrassment is that it was at least published in a magazine. So you can't say no one cares.

He should have worked on the ending a little more.

I hope Dubya writes (or at least dictates) a piece like that when Obama's 2nd term ends.

aren't you getting tired of hating it?

not exactly

smh @ whoever said that the fact that some critics didnt like or understand this episode just shows that its not good

Case in point:

By the end of the third episode, the series is closer to “Dexter” but only a sliver as entertaining. Creator and executive producer Vince Gilligan has crafted a show that veers into black comedy over the course of the first three episodes, one that is bloody, unpleasant and tedious.

Like Will Ferrell, Cranston is a performer who has a weird fetish for showing off his body and running around in his underwear. “Breaking Bad” displays Cranston in all his flabby, pasty glory. Next week, he even gets a butt shot, which may thrill some but left this viewer wanting to rub vinegar in his eyes...

Coming off of its Golden Globe win for “Mad Men,” AMC anticipates another hit. Somebody’s gotten high on some bad dope. Just say no to “Breaking Bad.”

Wow. That's probably the first time I've heard of anyone who didn't like the pilot.

Just say "I'm not a chicken. You're a turkey!" to Breaking Bad

well, we cant really deny this:

Like Will Ferrell, Cranston is a performer who has a weird fetish for showing off his body and running around in his underwear.

I didn't exactly run to this show when it first aired after seeing Malcolm's dad in that apron.

I mean, FX starts running ads of Al Bundy becoming a cocaine overlord in Durango and .... Ok, I'd watch that, but you get my point.

That was me making up my mind before even watching an episode. Boston guy actually watched the first three and came away with that review.

Next week, he even gets a butt shot, which may thrill some but left this viewer wanting to rub vinegar in his eyes...

hack TV critic for "No homo."

I love thinking of this hack Boston tv critic trying to come up with a dismissive pun.

I mean, FX starts running ads of Al Bundy becoming a cocaine overlord in Durango and .... Ok, I'd watch that, but you get my point.

Oddly enough, David Milch really wanted Ed O'Neill to be Swearingen on Deadwood, but HBO refused to center their expensive new Western around Al Bundy.

He was all right on Dragnet and in that Mamet movie; I could see potentially pulling off an edgy serious drama

iirc milch was inspired by seeing him do shakespeare, it was just about HBO not wanting to risk everyone lol'ing at the poster

honestly, that's a fair complaint

yeah, though I wonder if it'd be different now, post-Cranston

i can only imagine how differently BB would've been with Matthew Broderick

who is the next sitcom dad to become a serious cable antihero

Ray Romano's Men Of A Certain Age probably would have done better ratings if they'd had guns
