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

just re-watched the first few episodes in season 2 where skylar knows walt's up to something w/ his extended disappearances and over-eager breakfast making but she doesn't know what. when she starts freezing him out and disappearing herself for hours at a time and he starts getting nervous it's portrayed so well.

one of the most underrated parts of the whole series imo. #teamskylar

yeah i agree. the tension of season two, all the micro-lies, all the little domestic strategies, had me gripping the edge of my chair at least as much as the more conventional action sequences that would come later. the stakes seemed just as high. or higher.

season 2 was when i really turned around on Skyler, was so glad they could write her as more than shrewish wife

funny, she doesn't look shrewish

Just rewatched "…And the Bag's in the River". That's an amazing episode.

is that the grill in the river ep?

Think it's the Krazy-8/plate episode

ohh. way early

wouldn't mind watching a compilation of all the cold opens, they were pretty much all great. Wonder how well the showier/more gimmicky ones hold up. What was the episode where it's just a close-up of a hummingbird or sth and then in the ep it comes to a key bit and a character goes "woah did you see that hummingbird over there? anyway, meth." or whatever, I don't remember the details

lol

Buried somewhere in one of these threads is a link to a blog post where an uninformed viewer tried to piece together the plot entirely from cold opens of the first few seasons. All those flashforwards made her synopsis weirdly disjointed.

been having some dreams about ol' Walt, miss your antics boo

I was viewing an early episode again recently where Walt was discussing music with Walt Jr. and raving about Steely Dan (who Flynn has never heard of) and it occurred to me that Walt's culinary skills kinda made him like Kid Charlemagne...and then I do a bit of Googling and find that "Kid Charlemagne" was the name Hal used when hosting his college radio program on "Malcolm In the Middle"! Weird...Wonder if Cranston is a Dan fan and wrote that stuff into the scripts himself?

i forget which interview it was, but you're right - he's a Steely Dan fan, he admitted to sneaking those references in

My wife started Netflixing this after the finale and she's near the end of S4. She started out watching 3-4 episodes at a time, but now she has to take a break to watch, like, an episode of Glee after each one to clean the nihilism out of her brain.

how would Glee clean away nihilism exactly

Fuck, I don't know, I just picked a show at random from the ones that she watches and I don't. The logical answers are down the hall and to the left.

haha ok. i'm just saying that Glee makes me believe in nihilism far more than BB. that show at least had some kind of moral compass

Yes there's gas in the Aztek

damn

boss

thats p sweet

I was half expecting that letter to explain how Hopkins could have done it much better

to be fair, my dad wrote the same letter to the producers of "In the Heat of the Night".

lol is that real

so says Gomey!

I trust the Gome

that's so cool

legome

it's funny, my downstairs neighbor for awhile was a Welsh actor in his 40s, acted all his life, currently doing Shakespeare with the Globe theatre, been in 1,000,000 things, and i loaned him Breaking Bad, and he talked to me a little while later and said literally the same thing, that Cranston was the best acting he had ever seen anyone do in any role. i was like whoa alright there buddy.

picturing hopkins practicing growling 'i am the one who knocks'

Guys this is a photoshop hoax. Check Snopes. Hopkins actually wrote the letter to the cast of Dexter.

my dad just watched Breaking Bad front-to-back by "tivo"-ing (his words) the marathon before the final episode. I choose to believe Hopkins did the same thing.
