Breaking Bad (AMC, 2008-2013)

E04- Another fantastic episode. What's the deal with Skyler taking the bacon off Junior's plate? I mean eating breakfast is his thing! She's also smoking like a chimney to pollute the environment and bring Walt's cancer back. Something's got to give now. I think the time is ripe for Skyler to die. Bring out the ricin! I noticed a couple of Dexter references - Walt getting nicked during the shave and the blood trickling down and Skyler gripping the dental floss in the bathroom.
 
E05 - Great episode. The heist was very exciting and tense although you need to suspend your disbelief. It looked like the gang pulled it off until the tragic end. BrBa at it's very best. I was so wrapped up on the heist that I'd completely forgotten about the cold open with the kid catching the spider. I wonder how the gang will react to this murder. Walt has also become a master of subterfuge in the way he planted a bug at Hank's office. The episode was visually fantastic.
 
I'm not liking stupid AMC's plan of splitting BrBa's final season into to 2 mini-seasons of 8 episodes each. The pacing is too fast. Ideally, the events from the heist episode would have taken a while to be resolved. I'd have preferred 2 seasons of 13 episodes each.FX was stupid to pass this show on only to see it land on AMC. (I think they thought they already had shows with anti-heroes like Rescue Me, The Shield etc.). FX would have given BrBa the proper treatment.E06 - Not sure I've any particular opinion about the sixth episode. Jessie was hilarious during the dinner scene. Mike has always underestimated Walter even after Walter had outsmarted Gus. Here, we saw Mike zip-tying only one hand of Walt. I sense that the end of Mike is nigh.
 
hmm...what does AMC even have as such if they let BrBa go... still no info on Season 6.... Some of the people I know were saying that they take AMC only for BrBa and it makes their package go way too expensive because of that...I wish if they gonna close the tv series they should atleast make walater screw the people from that grey matter company as they screwed him :D
 
Well they have the walking dead... Anyway I am angry about this situation coz this decision was made by AMC & not the director or producer of brba... If it had been their decision then atleast they would have had the chance to complete the story they wanted to tell us... Anyway most of the staff has already been given their marching orders so not much we can do... Btw w8ing for episode 9 when they take a break after the 8th would suck big time ...
 
Well, AMC now has BrBa, Mad Men, Walking Dead and Hell in Wheels.Mad Men is the show that made a name for AMC and then came BrBa. Then, they had a great show called Rubicon but they cancelled it after one season. Instead, they had 2 seasons of The Killing which again is cancelled now.BrBa does not have a sixth season. The second set of 8 episodes of the 5th season will air in the summer of 2013. Mad Men is also ending in the next 2 years.I'm not fond of Walking Dead as I don't care for zombies or vampires (True Blood). And they have a mediocre show like Hell on Wheels.They need to find a couple of new dramas quickly.
 
I dont want this show to end it is awesome show :( and splitting the show is a killer too....Fox should get another network to air it on...The Killing I did not like it much. One killing they carried till season 2, it actually got boring every now and then.
 
E07- The opening scene in the desert was terrific. But "Say my name," "Heisenberg," "You're goddamn right," was a bit over the top. I guess they were trying to recreate something like "I'm the one who knocks" line. Hubris might yet become the cause of Walt's downfall.There were a couple of contrived moments in this episode. First, Walt being at Hank's office at the exact moment when Gomez reveals about Mike's lawyer flipping, was a bit of a stretch. Secondly, when Saul hesitates to bring the go money to Mike, he declines Jessie's offer repeatedly. Jessie is someone who Mike likes and trusts. Well, one can understand that he was trying to protect Jessie just in case things went south. But, how can he accept Walt's offer to bring the money. Mike doesn't trust Walt. Did he not expect any trouble from Walt at a time when he was trying to flee the city? May be, Mike was too cocky in thinking that Walt can do nothing to him and that he's a cool S.O.B. Well, Mike is a cool S.O.B. but Walt is Heisenberg. Although Mike's killing was not absolutely necessary, I guess the writers decided the time was up for him. So, they contrived to make Walt meet up with Mike. It'd have been cool if Jessie was going to get the money and some how Walt had managed to con Jessie into allowing to go meet Mike. But the short season has resulted in the pace and story telling methods of Breaking Bad gets hampered.Also, the stuff Mike said was total B.S. He said that everything was Walt's fault and that's because he didn't know his place. Well, Gus was going to kill Walt. Mike was going to kill Walt. Why? Because Walt saved Jessie. If Walt had not killed Gus, they would have killed Walt. That's not an acceptable scenario for Walt.Mike keeps underestimating and insulting Walt. Earlier in the season, he said to Walt that just because he killed Jesse James, he doesn't become Jesse James. Jesse James was killed by a coward. Mike called Walt a coward. And in the last episode, he tells Walt that he should have known his place.Mike is a cool character but not a good guy. He's killed many people. He was even going to kill Lydia, a mother. Jonathan Banks was terrific as Mike and he deserves an Emmy nomination next year. BrBa might be a violent show but it always deals the bad people what they deserve. In that way, Mike had it coming. They way he died almost matched the killing of Gus Fring last season finale.This season, BrBa has been at it's cinematographic peak. The visuals are stunning. Terrific episode.
 
The "Say my name" dialog seemed a little to sexual to me :p ... When he said it me & my bro just looked at each other & burst out laughing :D ...
