AMC is so shameless.

Just deleted Breaking Bad from my DVR schedule

 

[Raider Nation]

- This week, Jack feels compelled to produce Jesse from the dungeon to prove some point before killing Walt.

I think the Jesse subplot was irrelevant. Walt was there to kill Nazis. He realized Jesse was not with them, so he tackled him to take him out of the line of fire. If they left him in his hole, he would have needed some excuse to get low, but the end result for the Nazis is the same. No telling if he would let Jesse escape though...

I get it. I'm saying that when you're about to kill a guy, who gives a damn what he may or may not think.

 

[Peyton Marino]

It was great. Not sure you can compare this to the wire. As a pure story, BB is the best ever IMO. The Wire didn't really go for a neat story like this.. every season dealt with a different subject. If I'm forced to pick between the two, not sure I can bring myself to take BB just yet... but it's a lot closer than it was 2 months ago.

Stopped watching The Sopranos after 1.5 seasons.

I was a little disappointed. Too neat. Everything just wrapped up to perfectly. Throughout the show it was always expect the unexpected, i could have written this.

Oh please. No one ever likes finales. Probably because we are mad the show is over. But after some if the stinkers over the years, you guys think this one is TOO neat? Just shows you can't please everyone.

You really think Breaking Bad should have a happy ending where all loose ends are tied up and its pretty much what everyone wanted to see? If you could ask people what they wanted in terms of who lived and died, this would be it. Wasn't awful don't get me wrong, i just wish they had gone out on a little more of a limb and everything wasn't neat and tidy

I wouldn't call it a happy ending. Unless maybe you wanted a mob squad to kill Walts kids.

Of course it was. Walt was dying anyways, him living or dying didn't really matter. Everyone wanted Lydia and the Nazis to get it, they did. Everyone wanted Jesse to ride off into the sunset, he did. Walts family gets the money. Skler stays out of jail. Whats left?

I gotta go find the Lost thread and see if you were one of the 5.4 million people whining about a series ending with so many open plotlines.

Then again, Uncle Jack is so arrogant that he will grant Walt one last wish

Pride.

 

[Guster]

He went to spring Jesse.

Vince said Walt's in going assumption was that Jesse was aligned with the Nazi's but then obviously had his mind changed. Nice little twist

 

[badmojo1006]

Jimmie Kimmel had a interesting point, what will this do to Stevia on the store shelfs?

This joint AMC/Mercedes-Benz ad where they "thank" Breaking Bad and then proceed to show off this really snazzy vehicle.

Interesting point? That was a joke.

Lol, ive never seen a single episode of lost. I love breaking bad, don't get me wrong.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Perfect ending.

"Boy that Breaking Bad was a great show. 62 episodes of amazing television. Right up until the end when they blew it by wrapping up all the plotlines!"

Interesting. I guess killing Lydia is consistent with a revenge theme.

 

[sports_fan]

Cops got Jesse on his way out. No way they could have missed him on the road.

It's a commercial. You know, those things that play in between segments?

Really not sure how I can explain this any better.

 

[Raider Nation]

How long before someone starts a website showing irrefutable evidence that Walt is still alive?

It's called marketing and advertising. Go take a class.

Wasn't the best episode of the series or anything, but the finale rarely is. It was a very good way to wrap things up.

 

[beer 302]

I'm not sure I've watched a finale that wrapped everything up and didn't #### it up or make it seem rushed. This was about as good as it gets IMO. Great show, great season and great ending.

[timschochet]

I loved the ending of Lost. That show wasn't about the loose plotlines, or the science fiction elements; it was about the relationship between characters. For me, that ending was perfect. I didn't need to know what happened to this or that.

Breaking Bad, which overall is a much better show than Lost, was a much more straightforward plot: as Vince Gilligan just said, from A to Z. It's ending needed to wrap up all loose ends, and it did. It was also perfect.

 

[Barry]

This was the most consistent show I ever watched. They stayed on track telling the story without adding fluff to try and eek out more episodes.

I don't know how you can say one show is greater than another, all I can say is BB was one of my favorites.

 

[Tiger Fan]

Did he get the ricin to her? Missed that.

 

[Guster]

@injuryexpert: Breaking bad finale like penn and tellers cups and balls. Knew what was coming, done brilliantly.

I could afford that car

Perhaps this is where I do need the advertising/marketing class that eurotrashman has commanded me to take: How many people are going to run into a Mercedes-Benz dealer and say "I saw this car at the end of Breaking Bad, I NEED IT NOW."

 

[timschochet]

Speaking of a car, was the Nazi right about the engine size?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

AMC should have thrown in a meth ad as well.

 

[Jojo the circus boy]

He's actually slipped her one granule per episode since the introduction of the character.

Suppose the answer were zero. Why would that matter?

In the end, it really doesn't. I shall never question a commercial again.

 

[PinkydaPimp]

i would watch a spinoff with Badger and Skinny Pete

When Badger got pinched, Badger knew to call Saul right away, right? Perhaps Saul has had to bail him out before?

Basically what I'm saying, since I'm apparently as clear as mud tonight, is I hope he's in Better Call Saul.

Exactly, that is not the point of this type of advertising. You (Brady) are thinking of direct marketing, the kind that produces a (relatively) immediate and measurable result. This is just brand building, so that if you are the target market (i.e. you have the money) the next time you are in the market for a car, you decide to look at that one (or that brand). You might not know why exactly, you wouldn't be able to remember or point back to this commercial (or any, really, if they do it right.) You just know that is the kind of car you like and want.

If I recall correctly, Badger didn't call Saul (even though he was arrested on a park bench featuring a "Better Call Saul!" ad). Jesse persuaded Walt to approach Saul, and Walt posed as Badger's uncle or something like that.

I saw this product ad during the (Super Bowl/Family Guy/before a movie/in a magazine/on a billboard).

I mean, why even bother running ads anywhere if people aren't gonna run out and buy it right away?!?!?

Badger didn't call Saul. Jesse did.Saul just showed up before anyone called him but Jesse vouched for him to Walt and they paid his fee.
