I always hate the last episode
Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)
- Thread starter dogmatique
- Start date

merde alors
He's not saying owt other than the announcement of S4 was made in June, and that if you were to follow broadcast dates of the last three seasons you could reasonably expect S4 to start around the same time, ie Feb/March 2011.
You concur this is your conjecture, my dear Pie?

Hmmm, I'm not sure there's owt in that. Poor Jessie. Poor Gale. I liked Gale, even if he was a duplicitous schlub - he knew for sure what that conversation really meant. Has the actor ever been cast in a different sort of role? He was very similar in Flight of the Conchords as Mel's mentally cuckolded husband...
I really like Mike's character as well. He plays the ubiquitous bad guy in loads of things, especially bit part stuff. Lots of leather jacket and mini-uzi shit. Nice to see him getting a part where he can express himself a bit.
Loved this season. The writers, and in particular the cinematographer(s) really got into their stride - lots of knowing nod, no dialogue set pieces - the crankhead hooker intro being a standout off the top of my head.
And yet still hardly known over here! Might be nice if some of that Wire hype rubbed off elsewhere - surely dem Guardian readers have got through their boxsets by now!?
Who else has mentioned this to friends only to be met with blank faces? Pff.

Well, he was a glory-seeking, journalism-degrading editor type in Season 5 of The Wire.
And he was a pretty scary dirty cop and hired killer in the first two seasons of Damages. In that series, it actually took me a few episodes to recognize the actor, because he was so different from his earlier characters.
I really like David Costabile as an actor. I thought his singing in Italian in the last ep of Breaking Bad was great, and was a real little piece of genius by the writers and director.
Aye.

Just seen it...Well I didn't see it heading that way! I honestly Walt had broke (and when he was pleading for his life, then boom, pulls it out of the bag by reeling off his address 
Great finish though, sets up S4 very nicely. There's now 12 months of predictions and 'what if's' to go down. Best series finale too, S1 should have finished 3 epiisodes later or earlier, and S2 was a bit "wtf, a plane crash?"
I'm actually going to miss the mindbendingly annoying way Jesse finishes his sentances with 'Bitch'.
Interesting to see the Chicken Man hadn't resorted to including Walt's family in some sort of threat bargain - from my limited(!) experience of these sort of affairs, that's what I'd do (though I suppose that's why they were careful to stress about his prefernce to motivate people not with fear)
I wonder what Saul's chances are?!

Happy to be here
I think it peaked..season 4 will be a big let down, like the wire or underbelly, the writer/s no matter how motivated or driven just run out of steam, pace, plot twists or new directions for the growth of the characters.
I suppose hank will make more effort at piecing the puzzle together while in recovery but apart from that I can see season 4 being a little bit of an anti climax.

Watched episode 6 (Sunset), the RV gets destroyed... Very close call! 
Jesse and Walter back together in the same scene, wooohoo!!!
Also loved the high tech lab, wonder how long new assistant will last tough...
I think mods need to change thread title, there are lots of spoilers here, I read things I wish I hadn't before!

i've just polished off all three series i managed to stretch them out for two weeks. Am gutted just watching the last disc. Best series i've bought into since true blood and sopranos. Think i'll watch these again at some point. Have to say i'm quite sweet on jessie his fuk ups are legendary, i was cringing for him the reactions he belts out are quality. The acting in this took me by surprise its superb. The way its all been done is genious. At times so painfully understated unlike anything i'vd ever seen before. Bitch.

Getting older, one day at a time.
Just watched the first episode last night and loved it, looking forward to more especially after scanning this thread.
...only problem was the copy I'm watching has blanked swearing and blurred boobs. Not that the boob blurring is too much of an issue but the swear blanking does detract from the drama...so will hunt out another version.

That's funny, considering the themes covered over the three series
Who'd be happy with all the violence yet offended by some tits and swearing?

Indeed..........Americans
The level of prudishness over issues of swearing and sexuality over here is ridiculous. Free-to-air network television ruthlessly excises profanity and any glimpse of breast, but will happily show people getting killed with monotonous regularity. Even expressions like "My God!" often get censored, and if a character says "asshole," they will play the "ass" and bleep out the "hole."
Basic cable TV, which is where "Breaking Bad" airs, is a bit better. Some swearing is allowed, like "shit" and "dick," and some fleeting nudity might also make a showing. But it's only really on the premium cable channels like HBO and Showtime that they're willing to use words that you can hear on free-to-air stations every night in places like the UK and Australia.
It seems that it's actually gottn worse as time goes on. In the 1990s, some of the more adventurous network shows like "NYPD Blue" took a risk and started showing some skin, and allowing profanity like "shit" and "dickhead." But the Puritan tendencies of American audiences have reasserted themselves.

It's a long wait but I've recently got into Rubicon, another AMC production. Only halfway through the series so far and the pace is quite slow but I'm enjoying it.
