Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

That was a great line.
She gets a lot of hate in cyberspace, but I think she's a great character considering the shit she's had to put up with from Walt. Only she really knows Walt's weaknesses (well and us - excessive arrogance and narcissism especially when his intellect is challenged.)
I had a idea last night that his cancer could come back but as a brain tumour.

I wonder about that scene with the old manager of the car wash, a foreshadowing of Walt somehow taking over from Gus by the end of the season?

Skyler is one of my favourite characters, that stunt as the ditzy accountant was great. I guess she's going to rescue her ex-boss next...

Definetely getting into it again :)
 
Wow , what an episode that was :eek:

In a way I'm glad that next season is going to be the last as they can't keep this quality going forever...

Where did you get that confirmation? Sounds about right though - the first half of this season I was thinking that they were just treading old ground, but it's picked up *quite a bit* (understatement) in the last couple of eps. As you say though, they cannae keep writing fresh storylines like this forever...

ETA: Yes, I CAN use Google! Good decision - there always comes a point - around the third season mark where you can see writers floundering trying to keep story lines going without knowing if they're going to be renewed for another series. Giving them a definate endpoint allows for proper storytelling. Not doing this killed Heroes, and just about saved Lost when they negotiated two last shorter seasons.

Of course Breaking Bad is much better than both of those, so we can expect great things from the last season of BB. (Though I note that they may split it into two mini seasons... whatevs...)

I can see Skylar doing something very very brutal to her ex-boss if the need arises...
 
Now they have to decide, are Gus and Mike staying alive or do they go into exile for a spinoff?
 
They can't be dead, can they? Mike,especially is a great character. What would they do in the remaining episodes if that's the case?

I think she's going to pay for his debt, at least that's what I'd expect her character to do given she has all that money stashed in vacuum bags. (Haven't seen this weeks episode yet, last one I saw was 9)
 
Shit, fuck, wow, that was like a series final. Immense. Very Sergio Leone filmography.

I wondered what he had in that box. I watched Django the other day, an old Italian western. He pulls a coffin around with him all the time. When he gets attacked he brings out a gattling gun and taks out about 40 baddies. I had a feeling that box contained a means to kill them but wasn't expecting such blatant poisoning, man what balls Gus has.... how come Mike didn't drink?

Anyone notice (this could have just been bad timing when filming), that Mike looked like he was about to shoot Jesse just before he got shot by the hitman. hmmm. For a split second I was like 'noooooo' and then Mike took a bullet and Jesse went all Rage©. I mean both Walt and Jesse have this bumbling luck that has kept them alive.

Well Jesse has the opportunity to off the both of them now if so inclined... but I think he'll feel indebted to Gus and Mike for the line 'all of us or none of us'.

Great acting from Cranston with Jr too... wonder if Jr. will mention Jesse to Hank...

She get's shit cause she is a boring nag who holds up the plot development.

Thankfully the writers have gave her a semi interesting sub plot of her own because priror to that her only role was to be an anal gobshite about the carwash story and generally be a bloated botox faced whinge.

She is the shitest character in the show tbf.
 
Why has Breaking Bad not go the recognition it deserves. Very few people know about it in the UK and in the recent TV awards in the USA it won bugger all (I think). Best tv series ever made imo.

i think she's great.
i diagnose misogyny. this is purely conjecture, but i'm running with it.

Yeah, 'nagging'? wtf? She's a mum/wife looking after her family. How dare she have concerns about her husband being a massive drug manufacturer. tsk

(I did notice she became fuller, but is it botox related?)
 
[closes eyes and jumps top bottom of the thread]

damn, I want to ramble and rave about how good this is, but I'm only finished #8 in season 3.How can AMC make such a good job of this and yet fuck up their versions of The Killing and The prisoner so badly?
