Breaking Bad

The Season 4 premiere of Breaking Bad was AMAZING. It's been over a year since Season 3, but the amount of unbearable, sphincter-clenching tension in this episode was enough to remind me why I think this is the best show on television.
 
Giancarlo Esposito is amazing man. I hope his career skyrockets after this show because he really is a great actor. For anyone interested, I highly recommend watching the movie Fresh (1994 i believe). Giancarlo plays an awesome villain in that movie, plus its a great great movie in its own right.
 
Gus barely said anything and literally kept you in tune with eyes wide open as he did his business.

Baller status right there
 
Jesus. I dont think Ive ever seen anything like that murder scene on cable. That **** was GRAPHIC as hell.

Why did Gus kill him? I was thinking it was because he was cooking or maybe Mike told him that Victor was seen by bystanders.

That scene with Marie Hank and the toilet thing was sweet/uncomfortable. The indignity of having your wife prepare you for defecating in your bed and then cleaning you after is too much.

Pretty much as a message to Walt. Kind of like, "I can't kill you right now, but I really f**king want to. And as soon as I don't need you, you're as dead as this f**ker here."
 
Killing him served a couple of purposes. He was seen and knew too much and had to be killed off anyway and doing it in front of Walt and Jesse acted as a message to the two of them about how ruthless he was prepared to be to come out on top.

Gus himself couldn't have said it better if he had actually wanted to articulate anything. :up:

The moment he appears and walks down those steps, slowly, deliberately, and stops here and there, as the camera intently and surely follows taking in the scene and the characters, so chilling when it finally, fatally happened. :woot: But what truly elevates this is that damn look.... that stoic, intense look, but very much with purpose and in control, with just a glint of anger in those eyes.

Thank the gods for having a show this great to look forward to new episodes...

They confirm in this video, Inside Box Cutter that it was because he was seen. Giancarlo Esposito has to been nominated for an Emmy next year.
 
Haha, name dropping of all the zombie based video games = win.

Badger & Skinny Pete detective spinoff show, please. :o

Solid episode. Mike doing his punchout impression on Walt took me for a spin. Wasn't expecting that. Man, Hank and Maria's stuff is so gripping and just sad, I honestly don't know where it's heading.
 
Yeah, great episode. Heh, does anyone else think Mike looks like Yellow Bastard from Sin City?

I'm kinda hoping Marie leaves Hank, and maybe it will wake him up and make him realize that he's being a total a**hole. I sympathize with him, but it seems like he's blaming her for the whole thing and that isn't fair at all.
 
Another awesome episode. When Walt was talking to Mike my jaw was just on the floor, that **** was intense!
 
I think Hank and Marie's relationship will obviously become even more strained moving forward, but I also think they're probably going to end up mooching off of Walt and Skyler and taking advantage of them more than they already are. Gotta wonder where the money for all those roc.... I mean minerals is coming from.
 
i think it's great that it's showing how inexperienced walt is at being a true criminal.

he doesn't know how to draw a gun, or conceal one for that matter, and he can't even get into range to kill gus. mike beating his ass was like a reminder that he's totally in over his head, and he should forget about trying to kill gus.

walt is a smart guy, smarter than likely even mike or gus think. it will be truly interesting to see how he maneuvers through the season.
 
I just realized that dude voices Gunther in Kick Buttowski.
 
Walt getting the call outside of Gus' place was excellent, wasn't expecting it, and the scene built up tension so well. Loved the conversation between Walt and Mike, and Aaron Paul is captivating as Jesse... wonder if/when he breaks this season.
 
Aww Jesse, nowhere else to go but down with you man. I can't see him getting over everything that's happened before ending up like Jane eventually.

And how is this going to play out when Gus makes his move against Walt?
That scene, the tension building and when he puts on that hat.... Heisenberg!
 
I love the show, but i'm kinda disapointed, i have the impression that we've already been through that story:

.Jesse going out of control already happened
.and the Gus situation reminds me of the Tuco problem.

Still enjoy it though.
 
Yes, but the characters are degrading to the point of, well, breaking.

The first scene of Thirty-Eight Snub shows Walt buying the gun for "protection," or rather, to just outright murder Gus. When Jesse shot Tuco, and they had the opportunity to just get rid of him, Walt just says, "let him bleed." Now Walt is willing to kill even relatively harmless people to save his own life, without remorse, and he's got what, at least two more years to live himself?
What was that quote from the first season episode "...And the Bag's in the River"?
"The soul? There's nothing but chemistry here..."

Walt keeps Jesse from killing or most likely getting killed by those two gangsters in Half Measures. Those two were murderers. And then Jesse, to return the favor and save Walt's life, has to kill poor Gale. Would it have been better for Jesse to have been killed initially, than now having to live with what he has done?

This season has the opportunity and possibility of taking everything to its most extreme.
 
I read an article a few weeks ago called The Dark Art of Breaking Bad and they talked about how when you get into television that your main protagonist needs to remain the same character from the beginning till the end of the series. They talked about how they're over all plan was too turn a reguler middle aged man into Scarface and his journey to that point. It was a damn good article

Hard to tell when, but one thing is for sure: when he does, he can say hello to the Emmy again. :woot:
 
When Mike kicked Walt's ass I just started laughing. I knew he was going to do it too as soon as he face started shaking when Walt was talking big.
