Breaking Bad

[DBryan]

What's cool is there's a certain inevitability about where this is heading ultimately, and yet at the same time every episode is unpredictable.

Is there any doubt that by the end, Walt will totally embrace the 'Heisenburg' aspect of his personality, and will be in Gus' position of power?

 

[Soapy]

I don't know, I kind of figure that by bullet or by cancer Walt will be dead by the end.

 

[Call Me Darkman]

all of this is pushing walt over the edge and by the end of this season he'll just explode and go after EVERYONE.

Walt is a genius. We've seen him blow up Tuco's "office." We've seen him create that untraceable poison. In addition to other stuff. Walt will win by using SCIENCE.

 

[Asgard]

Walt finally snapped. That last scene where he sobs in utter despair and transitions to hysterical laughter while Skylar watches in horror was was uncomfortable tosee. That was such an amazing scene.

I couldnt believe how smug Walt was in the desert. This guy basically had his life spared and he responds by insulting Gus. Crazy.

I cant wait for next week.

I find it amusing that Walt got into this mess because of Jesse... and yet, it's Jesse who can sleep at night.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I'm sure Walt will either die or become the new Gus.

 

[The Riddler]

walt WILL die. just so obviously not yet.

walt is about to go berserk. i think being this cornered is going to allow him a sense of clarity. we've seen that when walt is in trouble, it's also when he's most dangerous. tuco and gale can attest to this. we've seen from the preview for next week that he's making some kind of bomb/explosion. as i said earlier, you don't have promos and dialogue stating walt is "the danger" without some major comeuppance for all the sht he's endured this season.

Thats VERY true dude. Walt and Gus had a great relationship until Jesse came along. Jesse threatened Walt to include him in Gus' operation and Gus did NOT want him involved in his affairs. Now ironically, Gus and Jesse are tight and him and Walt are bitter enemies.

but also,
everytime walt was placed in a risky situation, where he HAD to respond with violence , that's when " heisenberg " comes out to take care of business. once with the incident with tuco that you mentioned, then again with jesse and those dealers that killed the child . when heisenberg comes out this season, hell is gonna break lose. i guarantee you that. and im sure once he's out he'll be here to stay this time.

 

[Dark Carnage]

It was cool to see Bill Burr have another roll in the series.

Going to see him perform in London on October 16th. I actually bought the BS he was talking in his podcast about being on Glee, when he revealed it was Breaking Bad...
I was like
but then I was like

If he leaves room for audience Q&A, I might congratulate him on Breaking Bad.

I keep forgeting how smart Walt is. When he said "...or you'll do what?" I wondered what the hell he thought he was doing. And Gus' reaction made me really concerned. But then Walt just casually explains he's figured out the situation and they aren't going to kill him. Pretty ballsy. Although, that didn't last long.

Right now, all I'm thinking is...

Heisenberg.

 

[kguillou]

Man with the way this season is going...what the hell is season 5 going to be about? It already seems like the end is near.

He is soooo good live. I've seen him about 4 times now, and I can't wait for him to come back. You'll have a lot of fun, I'm sure. He's definitely my top 3 favorite comedians right now.

 

[Soapy]

I've been wondering this as well. If Gus is gone, and the cartel in tatters... what's left? Hank and DEA? That doesn't seem likely. I've got nothing.

Let's not underestimate Hank and the DEA. Walt has been using them as suckers, so once the cat is out of the bag, that will get interesting.

 

[Soapy]

I don't know... I really can't see Hank and Walt turning on each other unless something major happens like one of them ends up being responsible for the death one of the other's family members, like if Walt somehow gets Marie killed or something. As far as the DEA goes, if you're the head of a criminal organization you don't go to war with the government, you hide from them, and I'm not sure that would make very compelling television. However, at this point, I wouldn't put anything past Vince Gilligan and co.

But that's all total speculation.

Something else, in the description of the season finale, it says that [BLACKOUT]Walt gets help from a surprising ally[/BLACKOUT] or something like that. I wonder who that might be?

 

[Marvin]

Yeah the 3rd season which had Bryan Cranston and the dude who plays Jesse Pinkman win Best actors at the emmys is a weak season.

Are you sure you are watching the same show we are?

Intro to Gus/Gail/Mike...This is a weak season?

Never said anything about the acting
And I doubt you speak for the board, just like I never claimed too. That was my opinion. I found the second season to be a very well thought out work with a lot of fine direction (including Cranston). All that pool side atmosphere and the ending explosion, Skylar the twins and the vengence themes. I just found it more engaging from the jump whereas the third had pacing issues, only to start moving at the end.

I may be wrong but I thought Gus and Mike appeared before the third season.

I can't imagine anyone finding the second season the worst, and the first is out of the question so....

 

[Soapy]

First season is easily the weakest.

 

[Still Wynning]

First season is easily the weakest.

But it's still damn good. t:

 

[Soapy]

I agree! I almost said "worst", but I changed it because I didn't want to imply that I thought it was bad.

 

[TheBat812]

The first season feels the weakest because they haven't built up the stakes in the background of each scene yet like we feel in the newer seasons. I think they're all pretty evenly amazing.

I hadn't really thought of it before you guys brought it up, but you're right. It's Heisenberg time. I do wonder what that means for Walt's family though.

my guess is [BLACKOUT]mike.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[Maximus One]

I was watching The Adventure of Buckaroo Banzai the other day and noticed that Mike was in it. He was barely recognizable at all

 

[SuperSoldier985]

I was on pins and needles at the scene of Walt and Hank driving to the laundry...That was pretty intense.

I totally see this as well. I can't wait to see what Walt is going to do. Either that or he will implode and go on some sort of killing spree.

First season is easily the weakest.

For me it was the third, mainly because Skylar just seemed so whiney.

 

[Call Me Darkman]

Skylar has always been a pretty annoying character.
