s1e03 is an amazing, amazing episode

Anybody watch the 'minisodes'? Also, what's a minisode as opposed to a webisode?
― Vincent and Julio Gallo (Oilyrags), Thursday, 16 April 2009 00:57 (fourteen years ago) link
don't know what those are?
i don't buy it as a masculine transgressive fantasy, at least not through s1e03. all the aggressive types are either idiots or villains or both. so far it seems a lot about families actually.

o big tracer 3 episodes in an hes an expert
anyway just watched the most recent ep and this shit has gone from dark to dire - still v good - not as much fun tho - enjoyed walt all full of himself for successfully lying to his wifes face while making his ex look bad - btw that was a nice touch that he left her - totally assumed it was the other way

Didn't get round to watching this for some time, mostly because the whole "cancer" premise put me off, but after two episodes - it's really good! not sure if i prefer it to mad men, but it's interesting since in the latter the characters are all intrinsically bad heroes whereas in breaking bad they're all good villains.

each of these seasons is actually a miniseries, isn't it.
it's just not called that.
i can't imagine not starting at the beginning.

no one has yet noted that there will be a season three -
Just four episodes into Breaking Bad's second season, burgeoning cable network AMC has greenlit a third cycle of the award-winning drama series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The show -- which stars Bryan Cranston as a high school chemistry teacher-turned-drug dealer -- nabbed 1.7 million viewers in its season premiere, a 21 percent increase over the first season's debut and a startling 42 percent bump over the first season's viewership average. Bad was awarded the revered Peabody award just yesterday, and star Cranston took home the Emmy for best actor in a drama series last fall.http://news-briefs.ew.com/2009/04/breaking-bad-am.html

how does this show differ from 'weeds'?
― Michael B, Saturday, 18 April 2009 14:12 (fourteen years ago) link
1 - it's an hour
2 - it's not fucking terrible
― Vincent and Julio Gallo (Oilyrags), Saturday, 18 April 2009 14:17 (fourteen years ago) link
i dunno, i've never seen weeds. everything about this show is terrific. they take a fairly outrageous premise and work through all of its implications, on an almost minute-by-minute basis. there are some vicarious thrills for sure but man, the lead character is having anything but a good time.
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 18 April 2009 14:29 (fourteen years ago) link
the thing i like most is how differently you come to see many of the characters - how you get to see all these different sides of them that you hadn't suspected at first, and even reevaluate your own initial reactions to them
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 18 April 2009 14:31 (fourteen years ago) link
I've been working on my Jesse voice impression over the last week, mostly in the car. It's coming along pretty well. Basically it's shouting, with some hoarseness, but like you have a mild cold too. The trick is to balance the appropriate proportions of those three key elements.

omg the narcocorrido was an amzing move - best ep yet - loved how everyone kept repeating crushed his head w/an atm as if it made any sense at all - looking forward to odenkirk

This show just keeps getting better. It is my current favorite & is threatening to edge into my all-time A-list. The dysfunctional tweaker family was waaaaaaaay too well done. I literally felt compelled to (and did) take a shower after last week's episode. Trejo turtle-bomb was def A+++

that last episode (with the narcocorrido and the turtle-bomb) was the first one I've ever seen. my friend convinced me to watch it and tried to give me a quick overview of the plot so far, but... nothing could have prepared me for that.
(I liked it, tho)

DJ Qualls as a hard-up tweeker, the role he was born to play! Probably could have scratched at his face a little bit more though.

O ILx you have sold me a pup with this one. The precise moment it lost me:
"We've analysed the chemical composition of the entire human body, but we're still 2lbs short! What could be missing?""The soul...?"
― Stevie T, Monday, 11 May 2009 13:57 (fourteen years ago) link
that whole string of flashbacks didn't work for me either; it's confusing and hard to figure its relationship to anything else. i saw it as walt's (cheesy) idealized memory of the kind of life he used to have before he became a dad/chem teacher drone.
that episode is one of the best episodes of tv i've ever seen though, even with the flashbacks.
