Not sure, I haven't had TV in years. I guess I just assumed so. Once the young nerdy chick joined, it kind of died for me. Maybe I just miss Thirteen.

So that's it? BB is over? Not much commentary...

I have two bets on the last episode.

$10 on Walt to live at +150
$10 on Jessie to be dead at +150



Well, that's $20 less to spend on ivory back scratchers.

I just looked it up, May of 2012. I want to say I last watched it around 2006.

I think Frasier is the most recent series in which I have watched every episode, and that ended in 2004. I suppose Life After People might count, but that's more of a documentary than anything.

I wondered that too. At least they got Jesse's 'crew' in one
final scene. They were the comedy relief throughout the
series.

They really tried to make everybody happy in the final episode.
They made it clear that Walt was about to drop dead any day
anyway, so who really cares if he died of a self inflicted gun
shot wound. When you think about the series as a whole, never
once did anybody get one over on Walt for long, he always had
the last laugh. That's why they had Marie saying to Skyler that
the cops would get him for sure this time, Walt wasn't the clever
mastermind he thought he was. Oh yeah?

The show did leave one question unanswered: What was Walt's original plan after wiping out Uncle Jack's crew?

He didn't mean to die. He was shot by a stray bullet.

I think he did mean to die. He didn't know Jesse was alive till
almost the last minute and had to alter his plan to save him.

He didn't know it till he heard it in the car. He had to alter the
plan of him dying by his own gun to somehow include Jesse.
When he saw how bad Jesse looked, he tried to save him rather
than murder him.

When he showed up at the compound, he knew Jesse was alive.

He didn't need Jesse in the house in order to save him. He shoots the place up, the cops arrive, find the meth lab and find Jesse.

So you're saying he would have shot himself if the gun didn't get him? I don't buy it. Then why when he saw he was bleeding, didn't get blow his own brains out?

Why run the risk the cops would come and revive you?

I understand killing the crazy Nazi's who killed Hank and had Jesse captive and who took most of his money, but I'm not sure why exactly Walt poisoned the kingpin lady with the riccin.

On the 2nd to last episode, I couldn't figure out what Walt had in mind when he saw the rich couple from his old company being interviewed, so I thought that was a very good twist for Walt/the Writers to figure out a way to get the money to his family.

In the after show, they said it took all day to film
Jesse strangling Todd with the chain. Again and
again till it was just right. I'll bet it took them a
week to film the final showdown scene.

The final scene with Skyler watching Walt with
the baby was classic. Forgiveness was all over her
face, and that's hard to do. Go find a mirror and
try it. Especially doing it over and over as I'm sure
she had to do. That's why they make the big bucks,
it's called acting.

I have to admit, when Walt admitted he did what he
did because he enjoyed it, I was a little choked up.
The first time since the series started that he admitted
it was all about him, all about his ego. Good stuff..

Does anyone else tend to analyze, okay maybe over analyze, scenes or plots? It doesn't stop me from enjoying the show but jeez. A magnet in a truck at the police station? An M60 in the trunk of a Cadillac? A most wanted man driving an old Volvo almost across the country? There is much more on TV every week. NCIS for one, comes to mind.

It will be interesting to see what's next for some of the cast members. Dean Norris is currently on "Under The Dome" on CBS playing a bad guy. Giancarlo Esposito is on NBC's Revolution doing pretty much the same. Both are in prime time.

Under the Dome is just awful.

I LOVED the book. Read it in 2009 right when it came out. Was eagerly awaiting the miniseries when they announced it would be on Showtime shortly after the book came out.

Then it never happened.

Then suddenly last year they announced Showtime was out and a series would air on CBS. I was excited.

What we got is NOT Under the Dome. Instead we got a watered-down, dragged out, boring, pointless hour of summer TV every Monday night.

While watching the show, the unfolding of the story seemed plausible enough while we're in the process of watching it, and I for one was not jarred out of my suspension of disbelief. Looking back, I say, "yeah - a LOT of things had to have come together like clockwork for all that jazz to happen," but I got my hit of blue from the series. Most shows push it to ridiculous lengths, but BB wasn't bad; as long as we can say "Yeah, that's possible," it doesn't have to be probable to be plausible. If cancer-stricken Walter was wielding the M60 like Rambo at the end, THAT would have blown it for me.

I think they all struck big time oil with the series. Good for them.
Dean Norris, Aaron Paul at the very least are in new feature films (Need for Speed, the Counselor, etc.) All made book.

Never saw an episode. Did watch Soprano's. Some exaggerations but a lot right on the money. Busting out a business, celebrity poker game, etc.

My favorite character was PAULIE WALNUTS. Played by Tony Sirico. 28 arrests, served almost 3 years. And life is
stranger than fiction His brother is a Catholic priest and co-founder of the free-market Acton Institute.

Was reviewing episode summaries for Breaking Bad. From IMDB.com:

Quote: imdb.com....

Episode "I See You" (season 3, episode 8)
Hank ends up in the hospital after being attacked by Tuco's cousins. Walt spends too much time by his family's side when he should be cooking meth.


Obviously he has his priorities all screwed up. (Where's Jay Leno when you need him?)
Even reading the episode summaries stresses my suspension of disbelief.

Oh, and let me add this nugget:

Quote: imdb.com


Episode "Bullet Points" (season 4, episode 4)
Walt and Skyler have decided to use gambling to explain how Walt has made all of his money. It's not to be a happy story and Skyler insists that Walt admit to a gambling addiction and express deep shame for what he has done. At dinner with Marie and Hank Schrader, they tell their rehearsed story. Hank has a story for Walt however, one of a dead wannabee singer who had lab notes describing a super-processing meth lab. Hank is convinced the dead man is Heisenberg, the drug manufacturer he has been looking for for over a year. Walt tries to warn Jesse and is appalled at ...


I like that. "Use gambling to explain how Walt has made all his money."

It was bj and it was pretty funny. Supposedly Walt went to
local casinos counting cards and made hundreds of
thousands. I'm sure the audience ate it up, they thought
the bj movie was all fact based too. Wonder how many
people took up counting and lost their shirts because
of that scene.

Did you see the BJ episode? The writers made it sound
like you read a book on counting and take the casino
for millions. It's really that simple. I wonder if that scene
is on YouTube, it's a riot.

Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs) watched
all 5 seasons of BB recently and sent Bryan Cranston
a letter that has gone viral. Getting something like
this from Anthony Hopkins has got to be as good, or
better, than winning the Emmys. Hopkins was on Leno
tonight and verified it's absolutely authentic.

Dear Mister Cranston.

I wanted to write you this email - so I am contacting you through Jeremy Barber - I take it we are both represented by UTA . Great agency.

I've just finished a marathon of watching "BREAKING BAD" - from episode one of the First Season - to the last eight episodes of the Sixth Season. A total of two weeks (addictive) viewing.

I have never watched anything like it. Brilliant!

Your performance as Walter White was the best acting I have seen - ever.

I know there is so much smoke blowing and sickening bullshit in this business, and I've sort of lost belief in anything really.

But this work of yours is spectacular - absolutely stunning. What is extraordinary, is the sheer power of everyone in the entire production. What was it? Five or six years in the making? How the producers (yourself being one of them), the writers, directors, cinematographers.... every department - casting etc. managed to keep the discipline and control from beginning to the end is (that over used word) awesome.

From what started as a black comedy, descended into a labyrinth of blood, destruction and hell. It was like a great Jacobean, Shakespearian or Greek Tragedy.

If you ever get a chance to - would you pass on my admiration to everyone - Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Aaron Paul, Betsy Brandt, R.J. Mitte, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Steven Michael Quezada - everyone - everyone gave master classes of performance ... The list is endless.

Thank you. That kind of work/artistry is rare, and when, once in a while, it occurs, as in this epic work, it restores confidence.

You and all the cast are the best actors I've ever seen.

That may sound like a good lung full of smoke blowing. But it is not. It's almost midnight out here in Malibu, and I felt compelled to write this email.

Congratulations and my deepest respect. You are truly a great, great actor.

Best regards

Tony Hopkins.

Including one woman who tried to do her cooking inside a Walmart.

I've never seen anything all that implausible about the basic premise of Breaking Bad. Easy going high school chemistry teacher becomes meth cook and then meth chef and then rises from distributor to The Man Who Knocks, a violent controller of the distribution market who eventually becomes the man who killed the entire Mexican cartel.

I think some of what made the show good was the adherence to the rules of real life that might normally get suspended in a TV Show. The little kid on the motorcycle in the desert who witnesses the train robbery is an example. On most TV shows one would expect the writers to script in someone with a soft heart, no so on Breaking Bad. Witness equals Dead Man. Pure and simple. No exceptions, no hesitation, no soft headed twerp saying he is just a kid.

I think back to The Three Penny Opera and see the same thing: young woman from law abiding background falls in love with Prince of Thieves and must suddenly run his empire: she embraces her duties well, shrinks from nothing and maintains her intelligence in a new environment wherein she acquits herself very well without any regrets.

Many middle class people have indeed turned to drugs as "the only industry in town". Landowners, retirees ... entire towns in British Columbia, Washington, Idaho and Northern California's "Emerald Triangle" have all embraced the pot industry. You should hear the Citizens Band channels come alive when the pot eradication trucks go by! These people have taken up new lifestyles and new attitudes but they don't go on to become kingpins that control production. Its not much different than in South Florida where the County Supervisors voted to pave a 3/4 mile stretch of winding dirt road in the middle of nowhere: the County Supervisors had actually voted to build a drug plane's landing strip with taxpayer's funds. For a long time its been a world of two camps: you either grow it, transport it and sell it or else you seize it and run it through the court system, but either way: its the only game in town.

The police auction will have an autographed souvenir to sell soon enough.

Quote:

Authorities say a Florida man who won a raffle to watch the series finale of AMC's "Breaking Bad" with the cast has been charged with running a drug distribution operation.

Authorities seized more than $1 million in synthetic marijuana during the bust.

Investigators also seized a souvenir Hazmat suit signed by "Breaking Bad" cast members.

Was this mentioned already? Better Call Saul is officially a
TV show and premiers in Nov. Same cast, same producer,
same writers, same everything as BB. It follows Saul's
career pre Walter White. I don't see how this show
cannot be a hit, these are the same people writing
and directing the same show, just no WW. It's a
shoe-in and I'm looking forward to it. You gotta love
Saul cause he loves what he does with such style
and vigor.

I'm 11 minutes in....and when Walter Blanco gets home and they throw a surprise party for him....the music starts playing....it's full on mariachi music. I can't take this show seriously!



1BB, that's one of the best, if not THE best scene, in all of breaking bad. Walter to Skylar: "Let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skylar. I am the danger. A guy opens his door n gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks."

Yeah, I believe that was it! Complete with Mexican Periodic Table.

While I assume Skylar and Marie will still be annoying as can be, you have to wonder how the cartel angle gets played.

An interesting parody. They nail Skylar totally!

God I hated her character. Now
when I watch it I always FF thru
her parts and the sons parts.
His acting is tedious to say the
least. Oh, and Skyler's sister
too. Yikes.

Supposedly Anna Gunn got death threats over her. I saw Gunn on a talk show clip, she comes off so different in person, actually nice.

I believe it. Skyler was the atypical
ball busting wife that men go to
jail for socking in the mouth on a
semi annual basis.

Breaking Bad was a great show, but it had a lot of filler. In my opinion, Better Call Saul is a better show overall because they're limited to a certain number of episodes.

I agree. Also, there's more cleverness, and there are more capers.

Oh, if you like Breaking Bad, check out Ozark on Netflix. Like Better Call Saul, I think it's a better show overall because they don't mess around with filler episodes/storylines.
