I feel that if we were to search back, we'd find some of Idle's commentary on how the season ended or some such. Instead of actually looking, I'll claim to remember having seen it and further assert that it disappeared with all the other posts.
The point is, of course he's been watching it. I'm ruining this game because we've already played it and there are no spoilers.
Not venturing back for the sake of actually achieving anything, I think we'll find that Idol was watching Casablanca that night for the nteenth night running, He was squatting while he watched it. I noticed the difference in his lack of punctionuationing.Quote:

No one criticizes Todd Alquist over his lack of proper punctuation.:snooty:
That was from wikipedia or my memory or maybe this all only exists in mjmacky's mind in which case I'm expecting things to get even weirder soon.
On-the-street spoiler from Aaron Paul?!!! :O

I just realized that this thread is being bumped because the show came back. I originally it was only active because some idiot with feces under his fingernails made his one glorious post by coming to this thread and saying "i think its show is good".
Anyways, I still have the same stance, I do really like Breaking Bad, but it still isn't on my "I would regret facing death not having known every episode of this show." That's a special slot reserved for Deadwood, Monster (anime), the first two seasons of Community, Death Note (anime with mass appeal), etc. Currently my creaming entertainment is The Newsroom, and it has been satisfying my weekly need to get a fix such that I don't pine for the return of anything else. P.S. I almost regretfully can claim that Game of Thrones receives the same sentiment as Breaking Bad. So, hoo-fucking-rah.
Well, Hank finally managed to accept the truth that stared him in the face on a couple of occasions. This is an interesting turnaround.
I'm still sad about Mike being dead, I loved Mike.
Nobody Belize that.Quote:

I suppose it was only a matter of time, but I'm still not sure if Jesse could have put the puzzle pieces in place to connect Walt to Jane's death.
With that said however, it was another great 47:08 minutes of boob (tube) watching... And yet... my wife fell asleep half way through...:huh:
I think I need a good lawyer...

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
man, I didn't think Hank was gonna go out that way.
Better than chained up to Todd's dog run, being leveraged for Lydia's affection.Quote:

Obviously I misunderstood what Jessie was freaking out about.... not that I like bringing attention to my guffaws... I was really hoping Idol, Mega or Jacky would have set me straight with one of their flaming rants regarding the size of myQuote:

Also I think this is the appropriate section in which to call rant a cunt for not having the decency to acknowledge his birthday well wishes.
Cunt.
75 minutes for this week's and next's finale, if you hadn't heard. Couple extra minutes for the posts ;)
We will be patient... but only to a certain degree

Vestibule, I blame you for breaking the site tonight. Or maybe I was the only one who kept getting 'too busy' or straight up unreachable?
Indeed... I did get in before the blackout... but not before getting my Dexter fix... add in Boardwalk Empire and you have the perfect storm!Quote:

Actually, meant to answer, but got sidetracked. :)
Whos waiting for Jesse shooting Walter now. Had always thought that would be it eventually but not as sure now. That flash to where they are showing Walter is at the house and neighbor is there confuses that. What do you guys think of this.
Taking bets for another crash at ten to 1...
I don't think that could have ended more satifactorily.
Agreed... from beginning to end... this was done right... The Dexter writers should take note. And don't even get me started about Lost.Quote:

Since AMC did a pre-finale marathon of the series,I PVRed them all and have come to the uninvested conclusion after viewing 3ish seasons that the show basically painted itself into a corner. As Walt got progressively "badder" and basically everything for everybody else goes to Hell,the characters had to lose a lot o their "colouring" and couldn't help but get less interesting as time passed.
I know most/all will disagree but then you're all drugged up cretins who worship violence and evil* so I don't except otherwise.
I also have this theory that a lot of the frenzy and hyperbole calling the show "the greatest ever" is becauseyouwe the unwashed masses are so desperate to attach ourselves to greatness,if even by the thinnest of associations. :mellow:
Anyway that's what I think.As like I've said the directing is exemplary but the writing with notable exceptions ain't that original and nothing to write home about.
*Mostly Meg.
Not at all. It's way too premature to heap 'greatest of all time.' I don't think it's even close: the Shield being thematically similar, was more effective at conveying the fallout. Stronger finale too. Compared to something like the Wire*, it isn't even in the same zip code. BB is easily accessible, and ridiculously well shot and framed to be sure.Quote:

I think that you've hit the nail on the head with Breaking Bad being more accessible.Quote:

On the other hand Breaking Bad had the good sense to present Walt as a good man who through circumstance becomes bad.So you root for him blind to the fact (as Meg's quote illustrates) that he was really bad all along.Probably some people still haven't clued into that fact.
That's the genius of the show. The good has always been bad and the bad(Jessie) has always been good. Or maybe the bad are capable of still doing good and the good are still capable of doing bad.That plus the occasional nasty death.
As for The Wire simply to dense for a public that wants quick and easy resolution to everything.
Make something too hard to follow and general rule is that most people won't.
Also I couldn't agree more about the movies if I had selected them myself.
Peter Jackson did a reasonably good job on LoTR save Return of the King* but even at 10 hours running time,the films needed more storytelling and less CG fighting.
Except for better source material , upped budget and major stars this is basically Krull.
Shawshank went nowhere and even King knew that when he decided that it warranted short story and not novel status.
*Channeling George Lucas:mellow:
More Sam and Frodo scenes? Actually, I found most things about those movies a little disproportionate. However, it never stopped me from enjoying them.Quote:

Speaking of which, Battlestar Galactica and Deadwood are the best shows ever!
They didn't. He rode off into the sunset after strangling Todd and not killing Walt. At least that's how I remember it. :huh:Quote:

Interesting... I never looked at it that way. The assumption is that Walt was good and turned bad (thus the title, Breaking Bad) and that Jessie was always a bit of a fuck up... going from bad to worse... however, in the grand arc of the series... Jessie was torn by morality and injustice, while Walt was... well... the one who knocks...
@Macky... agree with BG... unfortunately mostly appealing to an audience of 30 something's living in the basement of their parents home (or married with six kids)... and unless you know exactly what order to watch the series in... well... that would be giving too much away now wouldn't it...
I appreciate the fact that even with overwhelming evidence to the contrary,you are still determined to take every statement at face value.Quote:
