I could believe it too, Alberquerque's not huge, is it? It was also a very dark bit of irony that Walt wouldn't have gone back (and Jane wouldn't have died) if not for that meeting.

I'm assuming the bar was close to Jesse's house, too, so I guess it's entirely possible both of them would have gone there at the same time.

Can't wait for 8th March. How come Skyler's still pregnant in those promo images, though...?

thats a promo ad from season 2

There's quite a few things like that though... It's like the major characters behave realistically, but the world around them doesn't necessarily, and I'm cool with that.

Am I the only one who thought Walt's post-op goatee made him look distressingly similar to the latter-day Paul Gadd?

the thing about rolling babies on their side so that they don't choke on their own vomit hendrix style was weird - you don't actually do that! i mean, i dunno. i guess some people do.

I wonder... do they spend a lot of time on showing the fallout in season 3, or do they go forward with the plot like it never happened? Like, if somehow the crash raining down corpses on their house is a catalyst for getting them back together, does that ruin the whole point of the metaphor?
SEMI-SPOILER I read an interview recently with the show creator where he pretty much said the plane crash will be addressed in season 3.

Been rewatching a bit of S2. Crantson's been getting all the plaudits, but Aaron Paul really is just as impressive. He's gonna be big, I reckon.

I would imagine that badger dude has to have some decent money in light of the fact that he was in every single commercial on tv for like 6 months. I hope he saved some of it.

I will say though that I thought the long foreshadowed climax was a little unnecessary. Minor complaint though.

Big fan of this show, watched it all over the last few months. Didn't really like the airplane anticlimax either, though, it was built up way too much.
I'm surprised nobody brought this up, and I'm fully prepared to be jumped on for this statement, but a big downer for me is that the women characters in the show seem to be really badly or aggravatingly written. Skyler in particular, while perfectly acted, is this archetypal wifely shrew and foil who I dread seeing every time she comes on screen. As the show kept going into the second season, I only hated her more. It seems like most of the women (Skyler's sister, Jane, random methheads) all just end up being evil bitches. Even Hank got more nuance written into him! Sure you could argue just about everybody (except Walt's son) is kind of a bastard on this show, but the men seem to get a more balanced look.
Granted BB is hardly alone in this problem - its a symptom of the likely demographics of the middle-aged men writing many TV dramas (Dexter has this problem for many of its women, too).
― Nhex, Saturday, 13 March 2010 08:24 (fourteen years ago) link
by the end of S2, I was like "you go, girl!" to Skyler.
― richie aprile (rockapads), Saturday, 13 March 2010 08:45 (fourteen years ago) link
Skylar isn't an evil bitch at all! Walt is an evil bastard. She gives him the benefit of the doubt plenty of times before she finally snaps.
― BTW, I'm frightfully middle-class (chap), Saturday, 13 March 2010 10:54 (fourteen years ago) link
She is meddling and interfering tho, and always wants to put a public front on everything. That's not evil but it does make her a bit annoying.
― I see what this is (Local Garda), Saturday, 13 March 2010 11:08 (fourteen years ago) link
Am I the only one who loves the brother in law? I sort of feel the longer the show goes on the more you feel that he's actually a decent dude, even if he is a meathead and even if he is vulgar etc. Sort of feel walt likes him too.

skyler starts out horribly but after a couple of three episodes it became clear to me that she really does love walt, and thereafter i was totally on her side about pretty much everything despite her being walt's main "obstacle" to geting what he wants - it's a weird and unsettling dynamic
― Tracer Hand, Saturday, 13 March 2010 12:30 (fourteen years ago) link
"It seems like most of the women (Skyler's sister, Jane, random methheads) all just end up being evil bitches."
Really? That's not how I read Skyler or Skyler's sister or for that matter Gretchen at all. The final episode of Season 2, it's hard to see how your sympathy is supposed to be anywhere but with Skyler (annoying or not).
Jane, random methheads sure they are evil bitches, but it's not like the methhead guys are great shakes either.
