Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

When he let Jesse's girlfriend die.
Just got to that bit. Kinda saw it coming! She was either going to blow up or be killed.

e2a: oh, *man* that is bad CGI smoke and helicopters at the start of S2 ep13 :D

e2a2: and the walls of Jane's house remind me of the innards of Saddam's palaces :D
 
Just watched all of this over the past couple of weeks and I've enjoyed it, despite feeling cold towards all of the characters.

Season 5 so far feels like a season too far and it has dawdled along looking for something to do....it all could have just ended at 4, but i shall stick with it to the end just to see what happens.

It's not been a patch in The Sopranos or The Wire. I'd put it in a league with The Shield....

....roll on July.
 
this is gonna sound fucked up but the last 3 or 4 people who ive asked if theyve seen breaking bad and then asked after if theyve seen the wire all said (probably word for word) "no whats that?" just thought id put that out there
 
pfft totally

Ad the episodes are only half an hour long.

I loved Breaking Bad :D Walt's rise to power was brilliant, Gus Fring was possibly my favourite character overall, he was just so scarily cool! :) And Jesse was great....what else has he done?

When is the final part being aired, May?
 
Sympathetic characters; jesse, obviously. Hank - starts out as a dumb annoying cop, but grows on you due to his competence and humour. Mike, the only person who seems to truly have the measure of walt. Saul, for being lovably sleazy.

Im not sure youre ever supposed to truly like Walt. Hes a bit weird, creepy and broken from the start. He has his moments when he entertains, but hes never someone youd want to go for a beer with.
 
Should I watch Weeds while I'm waiting?

I can fit all that shit in way before BB ends.

I wouldn't bother unless you're really bored. It was like Desperate Housewives on pot. It got progressively worse every series

Though for druggy TV, Nurse Jackie was pretty good.
 
There is something ever so slightly disturbing about antromorphisised food logos.

*sharp intake of breath*

Oooooohhhhhh, a treatment professional chairing a meeting?

I fucking hope he's a fucking long way from his treatment centre, and it's just a happy coincidence that Jessie lives there too!

Very bad form to chair meetings where you work. Fucks up NA / AA as a safe place to say that your treatment service is full of total fucking wanker know-it-all dickhead "professionals."
 
Likeable characters are Marie, Mike and Jessie, for me.

I used to like Walt and Gus, but they've both done enough to change my mind.

Saul is a great character, and I fucking love him, but he isn't a likeable character. He's a sleaze of the highest order and would fuck you over in second, unless he thought there was more money in not doing so. Cannot be trusted, although you'd end up relying on him. Worst possible combination!
