Breaking Bad withdrawal support society

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.

s2e1 opening: bear in the pool foreshadows what will happen to fring

Nice! As opposed to the bear beside the pool in The Sopranos, which is basically Tony himself.

link to the TV shows polls mentioned above? surprised ilx rated BB over mad men

where did sopranos rank?

I had the score wrong, but it must be this one:

BREAKING BAD vs MAD MEN

Just a two-way poll, no Sopranos.

forgot how funny the long scenes with just jesse and walt odd-couple sniping at each other are

My daughter just started watching this, for some reason, so I've been sitting in on a few episodes with her, and it is indeed slower than I remembered it, which is a good thing.

wait till you get to the beginning of season 4, soooooooo slow

this ep is just two unlikeable man stuck in a meth-lab camper out in the desert yelling at each other for 50 minutes (it's grebt)

JP: "what are we building?"
WW: "you said it yrself!"
JP (awed whisper): "robot??"
WW (curt disgusted snarl): "battery!"

The way Aaron delivers the line “a robot??!!” is delightful.

have you seen Bojack Horseman? his character in that is like 100% over-the-top tomfoolery of that sort

How to Blow Up a Pipeline scratches certain itches...

How is there not a single shot of Skylar standing over Walt while he's asleep contemplating stabbing him to death.

Or at least turning him onto his back..

Skyler.... Skyler.... put. the. knife. away.

She did better than a knife: "I fucked Ted."

I had to look the character up...I still don't remember any specific scenes with him; his character was one of the multi-hit prison murders engineered by Lydia.

He was running Gus's laundry, he was first seen when Hank and Gomez arrived for a surprise inspection. I only know this because I watched this episode about 3 days ago.

Hank grills him a couple of times in jail but at that point all of the Fring guys blur together.
