Terrible. They should be playing with toy guns like normal kids.

 

[Orang Utan]

Mike isn't a police officer! Just an ex one!

 

[frogwoman]

I AM THE DANGER

hmm im thinking this atm:

Spoiler

think hank and gomie are gonna get killed. walt i reckon will refuse to cook for them and they will either a) threaten to off his family to get him to cook or b) will take jesse to cook for them which might explain the flashforward of him getting his guns already

I love breaking bad. I love the wire. I personally think the wire is the better of the two, and I could go on at length about why. But frankly, it's a ridiculous way to frame your enjoyment of either show. The comparison only arises because they are both noted highlights of the current wave of high quality, boundary pushing US dramas. That's where the similarities end. They tell completely different stories, in completely different ways. The Wire had its grand intentions to deal with big themes, it's purposely hard to follow, slow story lines, it's huge enemble cast attempting to depict all levels of city life, from the streets to the mayors office. Breaking bad is a piece of populist drama, tightly plotted, only a couple of main characters, looking to tell you an unlikely but highly amusing and exciting story, with no "message" or aim other than to entertain.

So why do people feel the need to compare them?

i like both shows too but the emboldened bit was kinda the point i was trying to make. Obviously i find Breaking Bad 'more entertaining' but as you say that is its purpose. As for message, think non-fiction functions better in that domain than fiction IMVHO

Deadwood is a great series but it is unfinished and is likely to remain so. I struggle to see how an incomplete piece of work can be better than this.

It built towards an climatic last season and they fucked up the options on the actors and lost key people. Real Shame.

netflix have rebooted arrested development, and there was talk of them rebooting jericho last year (utterly shit show which i really wanted to like). So maybe there is hope, hell this thread shows that there is always hope of bringing back to life something that was good...

might give deadwood a shot

I don't get why anyone would say wait til series 4 it picks up. BB had the best pilot episode I've ever seen, if you weren't grabbed by that it isn't for you (and I know a couple of people who weren't)

 

[Ted Striker]

Woah shit!

Apart from all the ubelieveable drama to discuss...I'm SURE one of Todd's uncles

Spoiler

The one doing the "show us a badge" talking at the shootout with the pistol

was in one (or two) of the Police Academy films as the chief gang member. I have visions of his 'sniff' as he asks Hightower (Bubba Smith) (who is dressed as a florist as he wasn't in the force?) which one he wants to shoot first, before Bubba

Spoiler

punches him.

(spoiler even for anyone who hasn't seen the Police Academy I'm talking of )

 

[Ted Striker]

Nope, I'm wrong...we can all relax
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0502085/ and http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0100889/ were the two confused people

 

[J Ed]

Pretty good episode, I can't see Hank, Jesse or Walter getting killed tbh

 

[King Biscuit Time]

Good episode - this is what I reckon will happen next.

Spoiler

Gomie might get killed but I don't think Hank will - but what will happen is the fash will kidnap Walt and Jesse and make him keep cooking while they threaten to do some bad shit. Jesse will regret going to the police and he'll help Walt take the fash down somehow (probably involving a chemistry set -style fuck off explosion). Although thinking about it, Hank can't get away because no-one can escape who knows where the money is, so I reckon he'll end up kidnapped too and they'll all bust out at the end. Perhaps Hank will turn bad as a finale. Also perhaps there's a barrel of money each for everyone left standing at the end

I liked how feverish and insane hanks joy was, when he was talking to his wife on the phone.

Also... It's a bit confusing watching this and that Steven king dome thing at the same time.

 

[madamv]

Havent watched it yet, just started to dl and my access was blocked by sky! Found a way round though. hope I dont get the rozzers round later...

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Things are hotting up! Probably the best episode yet, this series.

I really liked Arrested Development, but somehow the new series just didn't cut it. Some things are best left where they are

 

[frogwoman]

I think hank will die in the next episode.

 

[frogwoman]

Also I loved how awkward Lydia was around the fash. She really irritates me to be honest.

 

[DexterTCN]

I have no idea what will happen. I didn't for an instant think they'd caught Walt though, even hand-cuffed in the car.

 

[frogwoman]

I'm starting to like Walt again ffs

Almost all the characters annoy me, I sort of like Jesse though he's grown on me a lot

 

[D'wards]

I'm starting to like Walt again ffs

I really wanted them not to find Walt's money.

The gunfight was a bit ridiculous, but great (surely its not that hard to hit someone with a gun, what with all the police/Nazi training)

 

[Ted Striker]

I thought Hank was going to 'turn' and take the money tbh
