Breaking Bad withdrawal support society

Did Gus mention a wife and kid(s) at some point? I feel like it came up when Walt went to dinner at his place. Not that this precludes anything involving his former partner, and might have been for respectable businessman cover story reasons but still.

think vince gilligan's take is pretty definitive. gus and max were very close, probably lovers, though this isn't spelled out

Well, hector does say they should be called “the butt brothers”

there is absolutely no need for this but if Gilligan has a great story to tell then oh well

when Better Call Saul was announced people had the same reaction and that turned out pretty well

I have a hard time figuring out what sort of interesting storyline they could pull off given the way BB ended - I mean, the last three episodes closed the book about as hard as it possibly could. still confident they'll pull off something brilliant though, that's what they do

people had the same reaction

I was totally down for an Odenkirk / Gilligan half-hour sitcom

I can't believe I only just found out about this! And there probably is no need but it should be totally worth watching based on what Gilligan did with BCS

I had never made the connection that Tuco was also in the Chupacabra episode of the X-files until today.

*googles* a Shiban ep!

If this one's good I want the Francesca Liddy movie.

momentarily wondered if Mike Francesa had been cast as G. Gordon LIddy

Took me a couple of tries to figure out which thread I posted on the first time I watched the this...I guess here; I thought I posted more often, though. Anyway, through three seasons of a rewatch; still consistently good-to-great, though not, for me, as good as Mad Men (which it beat 71-61 in a poll thread).

One thing made me laugh the other night, one of the episodes after Skyler has broached her car-wash idea to Walt. You see her sitting at her computer--careful, methodical, cautious Skyler, the one who realized that Laser Tag was an awful idea and that they needed a well thought out cover story--and she's googling "money laundering."

Season 3 was 2010. Was the world's attitude towards one's internet footprint that much more casual then, or was this just a logistical gaffe on the show's part?

the former imo.

they cut the shot of her setting up a VPN and opening an incognito tab, for time

Nah, I think it’s in keeping with the character. Skylar’s bad at being bad.

I ordered a pricey sofa online two nights ago, and both my credit cards were turned down. I phoned Visa, and after about ten minutes on the line, they unlocked the account; they said they flagged it because I'd recently moved, and, I'm guessing, also because I rarely make large purchases on credit.

My Mastercard was still locked as of today--I hadn't tried to use the card again, but I wasn't able to log into my account, so I realized that was the problem. Another phone call, lots more questions. When the guy had me identify recent purchases, he got to something called Wish. It didn't ring a bell, so he told me it was an Amazon-type retailer.

Me: "Yes! I bought a Los Pollos Hermanos T-shirt the other day."
Him: "Breaking Bad?"

It was a great paradox. It was like we bonded over the T-shirt, and he was more ready to trust that I was who I said I was. On the other hand, probably not the best thing to come up when you're trying to prove that you're not someone who'd commit credit-card fraud.

Anna Gunn starts to look so much like Courtney Love towards the end of season 4. I googled the two names together and found at least one person who noticed the same thing, but I thought I'd find more.

Lydia ordering tea early in the final season--"You're really running me through my paces here"--is so funny.

i've spent the last couple months slowly going through this show. i adore it, but i've had to take a few breaks from it -- while it's completely absorbing and surprisingly hilarious at times, i find it really intense and sometimes almost too nerve-racking to watch.

after watching the first few episodes i told a co-worker that i'd found the bathtub/acid stuff a little hard to stomach and she kind of laughed, like, oh you have NO idea what's coming.

Not sure what she meant by that, the bathtub/acid thing is by far the grossest moment in the entire series.

Grossest but far from most immoral.

i'm about to finish season 4 but yeah i haven't encountered anything else that gross yet, at least a few moments that i found more horrifying tho

I rewatched the entire series when C was a baby, so coming up two years ago, and found it just as compelling and unsettling second time around. My sense of Walt having always been an asshole got stronger.

the bathtub scene is definitely the grossest moment of the series but far from the most intense - I'd say that goes to the box cutter scene, maybe the most nerve wracking thing I've ever seen on television.

Anna Gunn starts to look so much like Courtney Love towards the end of season 4.

I dunno how this came off in real time but it was strange watching the show on Netflix and just seeing her face drastically change from one episode to the next

it was like that in real time. one season she just showed up with a totally different face.

Seeing as JD is working his way through this for the first time, I'll hold off on anything too specific for the time being--was going to quote a great Saul line from Season 5.

The guy who plays Uncle Jack gives a really good performance--as does Jesse Plemons, who's just about the politest cold-blooded killer ever (I think Jesse calls him a psycho Opie or something like that).

Just looked him up. Michael Bowen--wow, didn't recognize him from Jackie Brown and Magnolia.

Don't even think about making a move on my territory.
