sad dad at his air traffic work stations voice barely cracking was super excellent acting - plane crash bait and switch was kinda lame but kinda awesome for its over the topness

sort of disappointed skylar didnt take walt up on his offer of the truth
― ice cr?m, Tuesday, 2 June 2009 14:52 (fifteen years ago) link
he'd be fucked if he did that. he'd probably never see his kids again.i sort of wanted to see what would happen tho if he told her. they've made us think a few times now that he was gonna do it.

it wouldve been pretty hilarious just to hear him recount the plot of the show - so we got this rv and went out to the desert... got kidnapped by a seriously tweaking dealer who i had previously tried to blow up w/fake meth... met a kingpin in a chicken place... killed a cute girl w/her own puke... u get the picture

a friend of mine says that has s3 spoilers^

but i really want to read it o jeez
i read it, there are no S3 spoilers

the only thing he really mentions is that gus thinks 20 steps ahead, which we already knew

some vague talk of what will happen in s3e01 but it couldnt really spoil anything

this is think is prob what he was talking abt - its not exactly a spoiler but it does point to where they ultimately want to go w/walt^^^^^^^^^^SPOLIAH?^^^^^^^^^^
And is it also a safe assumption that you're not going to kill off your leading man midway through the series by dropping an airplane on him?
We're back in the writers' room now, plotting out season three. I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say Walt is front and center, as always. The way I see it, if a jet engine fell on his head and crushed him, he'd be getting off too easy. He's not getting off nearly that easy.

well i didn't exactly think walt was going to make it to st croix with his millions and his forgiving family

I didn't mind the Walt vs. Skylar confrontation - she'd done her homework and knew he was up to something but obviously wasn't going to hurt her, so she was taunting him a bit. Also cause it reminded me of Oran "Juice" Jones calling out his woman in "The Rain".

Somebody's just pointed out to me the names of the episodes that had the pink teddy intro. "737" "Down" "Over" "ABQ".

not reading the whole thread but just wanted to say this show is fucking great and i'm abt to start season 2.
― Roz, Friday, 12 June 2009 15:09 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm not going near this thread yet for spoiler reasons, but the girl and I watched the entire first season in about a week and are now starting season two. This show is so clever and honest and PENSIVE; it's a real treat to see violence and fear given real people responsiveness as opposed to "oh dead body, hm, bummer" there's lasting repercussions.Total winner; very happy I got into it.

For all the crazy shit that happens in it, it's not very escapist. I think it will resonate with anyone who has decided, for one reason or another, to keep a part of themselves hidden from their loved ones. Or with anyone who has a loved one who does this. Which can be a pretty discomfiting thing to dwell on.

Just knocked 'Rescue Me' out of the box as my fave current tv drama; Rescue is more of a soap as opposed the the weirdly real flavor of Breaking Bad

I've watched the first three episodes over the last couple of days, and it's great fun, very sharp and enjoyable. Reminds me a bit of Carl Hiaasen.

Just finished watching seasons one and two in a three-day binge. This show is fucking FANTASTIC - Bryan Cranston is delivering a Gandolfini-level performance here.
Can't wait for 8th March. How come Skyler's still pregnant in those promo images, though...?

it's been a month since I finished season 2, and I still can't decide if the final episode was really great or shark jumping terrible.
― richie aprile (rockapads), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 19:57 (fourteen years ago) link
I think I liked the plane crash as a metaphor for all the horrible things Walt had been doing literally crashing down on him. I'd have liked it more, though, if it wasn't for all those portentous B&W flash-forwards in the cold opens - the shot of what appeared to be Walt's glasses being put in an evidence bag in one of the earlier episodes really set up the idea of something physically horrible happening to him and having it turn out instead to be deliberate misdirection was a bit of a low blow, tbh.
― mister_thoth, Tuesday, 19 January 2010 20:03 (fourteen years ago) link
I can imagine people thinking that about the air crash stuff, though I thought it was fine. Everything else was spot on, surely? Skylar confronting him was absolutely nerve-wracking.

The whole crash thing literal metaphor thing felt grandiose on a season six Sopranos level. Seemed out of character for a show that has been so gritty and real up until that point. I really did feel conned afterward, too. I think I said out loud, "that's it?" The crash itself was an intense spectacle - the sound of the explosion was amazing and seriously eerie. I think it made the hair on my neck stand up a little. The scene was so well done, it almost made up for what I didn't like about it.
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?
― richie aprile (rockapads), Tuesday, 19 January 2010 20:11 (fourteen years ago) link
I have to say, I think I'll be really disappointed if it ends up being some kind of raining frogs Magnolia plot catalyst.
