Shall we anticpate the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

The pacing on this show has gotten completely batshit, starting with S5E08 and then all of the last half of S5 so far has been like waaaay too much shit moving the plot along in a v stuffy and cluttered way. Like I feel like I missed 3 or 4 episodes somewhere

YO, MAD SPOLERS, BITCH

the fact that Hank finds out abt Walt in the last 30 sec of one episode, and then entirely within the next episode we have Walt realizing Hank knows, and then Hank realizing that Walt knows that he knows, all the cards on the table in the course of 45 min; like where is the buildup and tension and suspense? This is stupid nuts.

we discussed this upthread, although many of us were fond of the way that was handled. I personally didn't want the "will Hank discover Heisenberg" trope being something that lorded over the season until like ep 6 or 7, as that's clichéd, though to be honest it is what I expected. I liked that they got it out of the way.

sorry, not this thread, the "Anticipate Season Five" thread.

there's already been like 5.5 seasons of build-up! i love it, it's like ok, now we know that's not going to be the game this season, so what's next?

Oh, sunny successor......

things that weirded me out
a) that slightly off variation of the theme music + that english song towards the end of the trailer
b) walt's wife smiling and nodding in approval when he beats up those kids making fun of his son

Also LOLs at 'it's a new drug'

Gilligan: Todd was weirdly likable to me.

Paul: He shot Andrea! And the kid on the bike!

Gilligan: But he didn't mean anything by it.

god, i'd almost completely forgot about todd.

reading that makes me want to watch the whole show over again

I only just got round to finishing season 5 so todd's cheery psycho act is fresh in my mind.

Todd was so into Lydia

The guy who played Todd turned up on Drunk History as Edgar Allan Poe.

Yeah that was a good moment.

Please refer to him as Lance

article is cool because vince gilligan looks like an exact halfway combination of aaron paul + bryan cranston

pretty lame there's no skylar box. she should be S2.

Been marathon watching this for the first time, just starting S4. So avoiding most of this thread. But just want to share this:

wow, that exists
combo as madrox the multiple man

Just finished it a few weeks ago but still not ready to talk.

I was just watching an episode of 90s antiques-based drama Lovejoy and there was a long shot with a kidnap victim handover that, if you swapped the rural Somerset landscape for New Mexico, could've been straight out of Breaking Bad.

Hank and Steve on the wall next to the door there?

hah good catch

amazing that this is gonna be a Netflix thing, you could do a wide theatrical release of this couldn't you?

I just learned that the guy who plays Skinny Pete is apparently 50! They wanted to cast an older guy playing a younger guy to show the ravages of meth.

i just watched GOOD TIME last night and i was wondering if Jennifer Jason Leigh was supposed to be playing someone her age or much younger, for similar drug ravages-related reasons.

though she is someone who still seems a good decade or so younger than she really is.

v much not interested in the latter day struggles of Jesse Pinkman, I have to say. By the end he was more of a totem than a character. Is Skyler gonna get an after-Breaking Bad movie too lol

me neither but I originally thought basing a show around the sleazy lawyer was a silly idea so what do I know

yeah i've stopped doubting gilligan and i'm just gonna go along with it

oh I was down with more Saul Goodman that from the getgo.

(granted I expected something totally different)

Maybe there will be a workplace comedy about Skylar and the car wash.

I thought she lost the car wash after Walt was outted as Heisenberg? She was working at a call center or something at the end.

Taxi Dispatcher

lol I can't even remember. Give her a sitcom where she just gets a job at a car wash. "Do I have any experience? Boy, where to begin ..."

If they ever give Skyler her own series, it has to be called I Fucked Ted. They can tack on a subtitle if they want.

How about a 3 hour movie of Huell in hiding

Huell is still in that hotel room

Man the incidentals alone

Are people not hyped for the new thing? It comes out tomorrow, I’m up for it although it looks like it might be a bit grim and oppressive (& I always thought the final shot of Jesse was enough). Will be good to go back to that world while we’re waiting for more BCS. For some reason whenever I try to anticipate what this film will be like I always just think of the movie good time

I’d be very happy with good time starring jesse pinkman tbh

There was a scene where he manipulates a teenage girl into buying meth at a gas station (can’t remember why) that was very similar to stuff rpatz does in that. Also they look exactly the same afaic
