Breaking Bad?

[Castor Troy]

Not going to lie, saw this from beginning to end just now.

Man, that's great. He's such a good actor. Totally fits his character.

Never really appreciated him until he was gone. Now I want more Gale.

Loved this past episode. Enjoyed the whole Jessie/Mike storyline. Had to watch the Gus/Mike exchange twice before I realized the the guys at the last pick up were sent there by Gus.
So far this season, Mike has been my favorite character.
Really liked seeing Hank in a good mood for once as well.
Also, Walt should STFU!! I mean, good gawd!

--EDIT--
Also, good news. Breaking Bad was renewed for it's final season (a whopping 16 episodes). Link here.
I wonder if they'll run all 16 episodes at once or if they'll split the season?

It's very easy to take someone for granted on a show where there are so many good actors and performances. I don't think anyone really appreciated Gale as a bubbly suck up. He was the guy in class that was always raising his hand and trying to impress the teacher, even though class was about to end and everyone just wanted to leave. But then the show explored his personality further and saw that he was really eclectic.

Walt shutting up is the logical thing to do, but his ego is more at stake now than earlier. Skyler is controlling his finances and taking his decision making away. Gus has installed cameras taking away Walt's sense of privacy. Jesse treats him like a lowly line cook in a restaurant, seeing himself now as more vital to Gus's enterprise. This is how Walt cracks.

Totally agree with you there. Still, I came close to yelling at the tv for him to shut up. <3 this show.

So I'm happy it's been picked up for a fifth season I am however sad that it's to be it's final season

Also I can't stop watching that video

Lost track of how many times I've seen that vid myself.

I also forgot that the guy who plays Gale was in Season 5 of The Wire.

My two favorite TV shows of all time have a common link. Awesome!!

 

[Comrade Porn King Mikhail]

The Wire is definitely my #1 TV show of all time, and Breaking Bad is somewhere in the top 5. What I am going to try and figure out is how Mad Men has been able to beat it out for the Best Drama Emmy three years in a row. So far I'm through the first three episodes of Mad Men and while I can see the quality of acting and realize that a lot of the twists are yet to come, the first episodes were nowhere as powerful as Breaking Bad.

Then again, I never did like period pieces and am having trouble connecting with Don Draper the mystery man. Will see how the season plays out.

That was some intense shit right there. So many subtle things happened during that scene:
When Victor's neck was slashed, Mike pointed his gun at Gus.
When Gus was staring down both Jesse and Walt, Walt was visibly scared. Jesse on the other hand, had this intense look (the shock of killing Gale apparently wore off).
It was right after that Jesse finally started talking.

This is pure skepticism btw, but imo,

Spoiler:

it looks like Gus and Jesse will become buds. During the scene at Denny's Walt was still worried. Jesse said it took Gus years to find Gale, "Where is he going to find another chemist?". Walt then gave Jesse a quick glance. I then remembered in season 3 when Walt told Jesse his meth was as good as his. Something tells me there is going to be some trust issues in later episodes.

I'm going to rewatch that episode again right now.

Looks like this is where the show is going now.

Picked up all three seasons of Breaking Bad on DVD at Best Buy ($15 bucks each, couldn't resist). Glad to see positive reviews about the series. Gotta agree The Wire is the best cop drama on TV, period. Anyone into Son's of Anarchy? Just started watching and it looks pretty good.

Weird, I bought the first 3 seasons on Blu-Ray around the same time as your post.
I have never done that with any TV Show in the past.
I think it was this clip below and the Gale vid I posted above that convinced me that this show might be my fave drama of all time.

I have watched this scene several times. IMO, this scene really is mindblowing. The scene is shocking, funny, and sad all at once. The way Walt was seated front and center with no way to look away without drawing suspicion from Hank or Jr was perfect.
Once Walt sees the video, you see him go through a roller coaster of emotions (and he never says a word). The guy really is the best actor on TV right now.

It's really, really good. The first season is kind of slow, but still good. The season 3 finale is the best thing I've ever watched, ever. I get chills every time I watch it, and I've watched it multiple times.

I don't think I have seen a scene before that that so perfectly captured the awkwardness of guilt, wanting to laugh, and apprehension. Really a great scene without jumping the shark.

I can't stand Mad Men, I can't see why people think it's so great

See Soilwork's answer as I agree with the season 3 finale. That right there is must see tv

Damn was that a perfect scene, seriously how is he not in more stuff!?!?!?

Damn it Walt! You dun goofed and got those women killed!
"I am the man who knocks." scene will be used right before Bryan Cranston wins his 4th Emmy for "Best Actor". Just watch.
Walt: "As is." (uses the $1 on a Coke) - made me lol.
<3 the "Shovel-Cam"
Skyler was at her best as well. Her last line was awesome.

Another great episode.

Also, is it me, or do some of those meth-heads look like The Walking Dead zombies?

 

[evil wasabi]

yeah, the whole thing with the shovel was perfect.

"What are you doing"

"Digging. How deep do you think it goes?"

"Really deep..."

I mean it completely captured the meth burnout.

 

[Curt]

As your client I agree with this.

KNOCK. KNOCK.

That line was just so intense. It's like all the years of Walt Gradually turning into a megabadass finally just dawned on Skyler and hit her like a ton of Bricks.

Here's the quote. (Maybe the best in the whole series). (Not really a spoiler)

"Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly-up, disappears. It ceases to exist without me! No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!"

That was the best scene yet this season.
I'm pretty sure he won't win another emmy for this season because they waited so long to do the show this year.

 

[Hot Chocolate]

Why must we wait another week for the next episode, I'm jonesing over here bad

 

[Castor Troy]

The season started like, a few days after the Emmy nominees were announced. So Cranston will have to wait a year for his award, but it will be his 4th. Believe.

Going to leave this here too:

 

[Castor Troy]

Damn Hank and his detective skills (he would have made Prez and Freamon proud). Yeah, it felt a bit rushed, but I'm glad this story is moving along with more episodes to go.
Aaron Paul (Jesse) pretty much sealed a spot at next year's Emmys with his performance at that group therapy scene.
The only bad thing I can say about the show is that the product placements are getting out of hand (Dodge and RAGE). But I guess BB needed the money to pay the bills.
The season is on a roll now.

AMC needs cash badly. After hearing that they were cutting down the budget for Walking Dead, I'm worried that the same will happen to Breaking Bad.

Some posted this on a different forum. Some else commented on how the person who warned Hank sounded like his boss.

Did anyone else find the reaction of Hank's boss a little suspicious when he outlined his theory about the whole Gale/Polos/Gus connection? His boss was a little too swift to dismiss his theory as far-fetched and impossible.

I wonder if there is a connection to the DEA chief and Gus? It still isn't clear who called Hank when he was about to get shot-up in the episode "One Minute." You have to wonder that it could have been the chief...Why would anyone like Gus (or Mike) have Hank's phone number?

I hope that's not the case. I would prefer if the main people on this case aren't corrupt. Would be a breath of fresh air.

lol wut?

Oh you mean like the real DEA, which is in no way corrupt?

edit: That Stupid Bitch video is so hilarious. His bitch comments are always a favorite.
