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.

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

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)

O ILx you have sold me a pup with this one. The precise moment it lost me:

― Stevie T, Monday, 11 May 2009 13:57 (fifteen 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.

Relapse subplot pretty weak and predictable, esp. the levitating off the bed shot. Esposito is a welcome addition, though!

i dunno between espositos advice jesse irresponsible behavior and the fact that walter doesnt really need jesse anymore looks like the drugg plot could be setting up a schism between our two main guys - i predict walter tries to short him
one thing i dont get tho is the $1.2 esposito offered is the same number walter came up with when he was figuring their profit selling it on the street - but theyre wholesaling now so it should be much less

SPOILER!
Also I’m not sure how this isn’t the worst thing Walt has done, he could at least try and morally absolve himself of the other deaths in some way but he’s pretty directly responsible for allowing this to happen. Isn’t it his shaking of Jesse that rolls Jane onto her back in the first place?
Anyone notice the pink stuffed animal at the start?

well he did straight up chain a guy up in a basement for a couple of days and then straight up choke the guy to death in like episode 3 or 4.
