Breaking Bad withdrawal support society

is it stupid of me to put @Homer_Marijuana here cause yesterday felt p breaking bad to me

Is anyone else watching Metastasis?

No, is it any good?

Compared to the telenovelas that Univision would normally be airing? Definitely.

Wait, is that rockist

If Walt reappears I hope it's just as dorky chemistry teacher Walt in a minimal cameo, these two character intersecting in some completely inconsequential way.

TV is done guys - better bring back novels and going to the cinema again.

Been watching Orphan Black recently, and while it's trashier and less artfully done than BB it's the only thing I've seen since that comes close in terms of tension and narrative drive.

Strongly disagree, it's muddled and going on way too long. Nothing like the tautness of BB. Still enjoying it to an extent but it HAS to end soon, surely

Like with many shows, it relies way too much (narratively) on piecing together random bits from the past which may or may not still be relevant, etc and which come to light in a piecemeal way just to drive the plot.

I'm only on season 1, maybe it loses it in S2.

But I've definitely been on the edge of my seat a lot so far.

Oh yeah s1 is pretty good! Fun mix of genres. S2 is where it gets a bit flabby

so Better Call Saul is going to be like Godfather Part II, except centered around the Robert Duvall character and a comedy

i mean, i'll definitely be there

yeah whatever misgivings i have i'll definitely be watching this. the heavier gilligan involvement and season 2 pickup would give me hope that this thing actually turned out alright except amc is pretty desperate right now. in retrospect pure luck breaking bad got to end when/how it did, had that ratings bump or amc's realization that the only two prestige shows they pulled off were their first two (that they didn't have much to do w/ developing) and beyond that they have one fluke megahit that even fans of the show don't think is actually executed very well (but zombies so they'll still watch) occurred earlier and we're looking at three more seasons of breaking bad. i don't rate it quite as highly as most but i do miss it, just ridiculously well executed entertainment. the closest i've come to the hit that breaking bad could provide routinely was that big scene from true detective.

Not sure Gilligan would've been down for it running for any more seasons whatever the circumstances (though whether he would've had the power to prevent it is a different matter...).

Just watched Blue Ruin, an excellent film. Reminded me somewhat of BB aesthetically, and in the thoroughness of its plotting.

Is there a Better Call Saul thread?

It would be so easy to do a sequel (maybe a movie):
Recreate that last shot, in which Walt Heisenberg, both "sides" of his personality/self-image now integrated by taking responsibility, admitting his sin of pride, solving all problems his way etc.,is lying there, bleeding out, staring up at the Great Beyond, those angels standing over him----then he recognizes them as cops. He blinks, wakes up in massively guarded hospital room. DAMN! Start another plan.
Not like the cast is doing anything much: Cranston's finished his Godzilla movie, for inst. C'mon Vince, this would add to your savings, you could be even bolder with other projects, go even further beyond BB...

it could just be a new season of Oz with Walter White at the prison

madrigal agents steal walt's corpse from the morgue and transplant his brain into a 15-foot-tall armoured death machine. he must juggle his attempts to rebuild his relationship with his family with his new working life as a madgrigal enforcer raining laser death on the corporation's enemies.

They've also salvaged Gus' brain, which they've implanted into Waltbot's cybernetic boss. Comedy bickering ensues.

Meanwhile, Jesse's just a head on a slinky for some reason.

And Mike's spirit has taken possession of a daschshund.

Damn I don't trust daschunds anyway! All that crazy macho barking coming out of wienerdog bodies! I knew you'd mention Oz, but he's gonna be a problem tenant anyway, incl. in supermax prisons, with the Aryan Nation barons in those, once word gets around about his killing all them Nazis at once, the same Nazis whose prison contacts killed all of Gus's former employees in there, so they wouldn't squeal (sorry, "flip" is the modern cable term).

Not sure if a catwalk model should eat as much breakfast as Walt Jr. did

This is going to be for tossers isn't it:

'The series aired from June to September 2014, airing a total of 62 episodes'

Eh? How is that possible?

I'm guessing four nights a week. Common for telenovelas. And soap operas, and late night shows.

Tickets to the immersive party experience, 'Breaking Mad' - includes two themed cocktails

This December, we're creating our own empire of entertainment at the Old Truman Brewery where you'll be taught a lesson in being bad as you descend into debauchery and a series of thematic adventures. Through a series of high octane, sensory explosions of consumption and intriguing encounters, you'll get a glimpse into the lives of those in your favourite TV show all in one awesome night.

£44

lol

if one of the themed cocktails is a gloopy half-melted red mess served from a bathtub, count me in

'Breaking Mad Bad Men' immersive mash-up party experience missed opportunity

the amount of shit immersive theatre out there cashing in on the good work of the few companies who do it well - it's grim

There's also a Twin Peaks immersive theatre/dining club thing happening in London right now, which looks like it has the potential to ruin both food and theatre for me for some time.

That's a snip at £65 per person.
