Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[sim667]

I finished it last night too
I think it ended spot on and they shouldnt make any more, but I'd be interested to see how it all pans out, I can imagine there will either be another gus, or walt will become the equivalent of gus. Judging by what the last bit of the last episode was I think it may become the latter, which will make a better show, but wont endear me to walt as much

having read this on the BB wiki, i reckon Walt is game over..

In an interview with The New York Times, creator Vince Gilligan said the larger lesson of the series is that "actions have consequences".[7] He elaborated on the show's philosophy:

“​

If religion is a reaction of man, and nothing more, it seems to me that it represents a human desire for wrongdoers to be punished. I hate the idea of Idi Amin living in Saudi Arabia for the last 25 years of his life. That galls me to no end. I feel some sort of need for biblical atonement, or justice, or something. I like to believe there is some comeuppance, that karma kicks in at some point, even if it takes years or decades to happen. My girlfriend says this great thing that’s become my philosophy as well. 'I want to believe there's a heaven. But I can't not believe there's a hell.'

Walt Jr and Holly are gonna get murked

I've always thought the main showdown coming on Breaking Bad is Walt v Hank. At some point Hank is going to realise that Walt is Heisenberg, then he's going to realise how compromised he is as it was Heisenberg who paid for all his medical bills and physical therapy.

The main reason Walt had to go so far in season 4 was because he wouldn't let Gus take Hank. Gus told him he and his family could walk away as long as Walt accepted that Gus couldn't let Hank live but if Walt warned Hank he'd kill his whole family. Walt knew he meant it but he immediately warned Hank anyway. But if Hank finds out who Walt is will Walt change his mind about killing him?

 

[BigTom]

Mike will definitely come back, there's no way they are losing that character. The only question is whether he is going to be on Walt/Jesse's side or with the Germans/Chileans.

I don't think there is a problem with introducing a new story arc in one season, there are plenty of other arcs going on that are already there - walt vs hank & skylar's developing role being the main ones I can think of.

 

[sim667]

I think it will end up being jesse, mike and walt vs someone.

 

[belboid]

surely nought but a very juicy rumour, but, supposedly, amongst the directors for the final season is one Werner Herzog.

Now that should be fun

Argh, I hate it when they split a series like that.

2013 is far too long to wait for

***DO NOT WATCH IF YOU'VE NOT COMPLETED S4***

Here are links to the first and second promo's released for S5.

A summer 2013 ending is fucking outrageous!

 

[Orang Utan]

A summer 2013 ending is fucking outrageous!

Why?

 

[Anonymous1]

Why?

From Brian Cranston

We’re splitting it. We’re going to shoot the first eight, then take a four-month production break, then the rest will air next year

From this i see the four month hiatus as unnecessary and after returning to shoot the latter half they will still
have editing to complete. A lot of time wasted there, especially as it's the final season.

It's annoying to see a 4-6 week break on some shows from the US over the x-mas period
but dragging out 16 episodes over 12 months is extracting the urine imo.









Or to put it simply "I need my fix"
This is truly the one fictional programme i currently value and make an effort to see.

 

[belboid]

One might almost think they hadn't got any idea what to replace it with

 

[twistedAM]

Theres more happens in eight episodes of BB than most entire series.
Be thankful.

Sounds like the Germans are coming! Sit tight.

 

[Ranbay]

i was told there is a 6th season......

 

[Reno]

i was told there is a 6th season......

I suppose the second half of season 5 is like a 6th season. The plan still is to pull the plug after that one.

 

[Ranbay]

ah right... pricks.

 

[Reno]

ah right... pricks.

I suppose the idea is to go out while the series is still on a creative high, instead of dribbling on and go into a decline, like so many TV shows do.

 

[frogwoman]

I can't wait.

 

[belboid]

Soprano's, Battlestar Galactica, just trying to think what other series' had to suffer the ignominy of having their 'final' season split into two parts. And wasn't one of those down to the writers strike?

 

[BigTom]

Slightly different but south park and futurama both had their most recent seasons split.

 

[Structaural]

They might make a film after the series has ended:

[Reno]

They always "might make a film" after a series ends and it almost never happens, apart from some shoddy low budget TV movie with much of the original cast missing a few years later.

And Sex and the City. Twice.

 

[Reno]

That's why I wrote almost never.

 

[frogwoman]

I hope they don't. I want to remember breaking bad for the awesomeness that it is and not some shit half arsed film

 

[Reno]

Breaking Bad has low ratings and is a critically acclaimed cult show which hasn't had nearly the same cultural impact as Sex and the City. Generally the momentum passes when a show goes off the air. How long has there been a "24" film in development now ?

 

[Iguana]

And Sex and the City is really, really good example of why making a movie from a tv show is a terrible idea.
