Breaking Bad on AMC (1 Viewer)

[ghostguy123]

I started maybe like 3 weeks ago. Had meant to watch for a while, but finally got around to it. Was weird, cause as I was going along I swear I had seen at least 15 or so of the episodes but dont even really remember making it a point to watch any. Osmosis while sleeping maybe, who knows.

Anyway, season episode 1 season one a few weeks back, and just finished the 2nd to last episode like 5 minutes ago. One more episode to go. All I can say is, WOW. The show was always good but damn, soooo good. Just the music the past minute or so of that episode, how it changed up, just get the feeling Walt is about to blow something up in the last episode.

How did this S-O-B play the dad in Malcom in the Middle, for real......................................

 

[ghostguy123]

Done and done. Damn glad I decided to get my act together and finall watch the show start to finish.

And always better to watch in bulk I think, seems like you get more invested in the show and you remember a lot more stuff as opposed to forgettting something cause you saw it 4 years ago.

You did miss out on 3 pages of predictions between each episode in this thread over the last two half seasons.

Dumbest episode, IMO. They probably want that one back.

Zero Point Zero chance that moronic plan works. Killed the whole episode for me.

Speaking of that episode, in the flash forward at Denny's, it is Walt's 52nd birthday, but would his fake ID for his new identity still have his real birthday? Is that normal, for people with new identities, like in the witness protection program, to retain their real birthdays and whatnot?

Do you need to show your ID to buy breakfast?

He showed it to get a free breakfast.

You'll have to excuse this guy. He's only seen each episode once.

maybe to keep it simple and easier to remember all your pertinent info?

If so, sweet. Let's do it.

For all we know he showed his original ID. He certainly didnt give a damn about stuff at that point.

Not true, I saw about 15-20 of them twice now

I dont plan to watch any of them again, but could see myself watching the final season once more at some point.

But................on to the next series. Finished up True Detective before the Break Bad Barage. What's next? WHo knows.

He did not, because when leaving, the server called him Mr. Lambert, his fake name, which she only would have known by seeing it on the ID he showed her.

Did you even watch this show?

Missed that detail, sorry.

Will be sure to get it my 3rd or 4th time around

 

[NIU Kicker]

The whole Denny's scene at the start of season 5a I'm not a fan of. I think it really boxed them in on some details that had to come full circle at the end of the series.

I know that topics been beat to death already, but I think it bears repeating.

I disagree. I know Gilligan has said that they didn't know what they were gonna do with that when they wrote that scene, but I think he knew deep down roughly how it was gonna go; he is just being modest.

 

[Tiger Fan]

If I had to complain about one thing in the entire series (and I'm not complaining by any means, but this is a message board, right?)...I wish they would have showed him in the cabin in the woods just reading/studying non stop about weapons/guns/etc. That would have made the whole trunk/gun thing more plausible. Now we all know Walt is a very smart guy, but he's chemist, not a mechanical engineer.

Anyway, just a meaningless ramble.

Series was awesome, finale was awesome, etc.

 

[Gene Sackman]

Obviously not in tune with the ABQ real estate market, but Jessie's parents wanting $875k for that house seemed ridiculous. That house (IMO) is not that nice at all, and the property didnt seemed to be anything special, ok neighborhood I guess.

Shoot, you could have a mansion on the river and an indoor pool for that amount up here.

If only there was a way to actually check on real estate prices in the ABQ area.

Has it really been that long?

A year ago today Hank Schrader said to the bad guys, "Go #### yourself" after some time to rethink,...DITTO motha ####as!

Thought maybe there might be a local FFA brother in that area. No big deal if not. Always enjoy your sarcasm Tanner..

If I had to complain about one thing in the entire series (and I'm not complaining by any means, but this is a message board, right?)...I wish they would have showed him in the cabin in the woods just reading/studying non stop about weapons/guns/etc. That would have made the whole trunk/gun thing more plausible. Now we all know Walt is a very smart guy, but he's chemist, not a mechanical engineer.

Anyway, just a meaningless ramble.

Series was awesome, finale was awesome, etc.

Having had all kinds of time to think it over, I still think I would have liked the ending better if the series had ended with Walt alone in his cabin in New Hampshire, with Vacuum Cleaner Guy as his only contact to the outside world. The redemptive aspects of the actual finale still strike me as forced, whereas the bleakness of New Hampshire followed perfectly from the rest of the season.

No comeuppance for the Nazis..? Jessie still a slave?

Yes. I think I would have preferred a bleak ending.

Just personal preference on my end. Obviously that isn't the story that Gilligan wanted to tell.

I don't know if they ever said exactly what Walt's degree(s) were in. He cofounded "Grey Matter Technologies".

 

[bentley]

Yeah. A Rocky-style training montage in the snow set to bad rock music would have totally made the finale better.

That doesn't seem possible.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Maybe with some cut-aways to the band playing the music and some others to Skyler's face as she sadly stares out a window.

If Gilligan weren't such a hack, he would have thought of this stuff.

I wouldn't have liked a bleak ending like that, but the ending we got was pretty bleak all on its own.

Just the other night I rewatched the final episode scene when Walt visits Skyler. :(

Either way, you can always subscribe to the theory that Walt died in the car outside the bar and never made it back to Albuquerque to roughly get the bleak ending you'd have prefered.

Some thought it had the feel of a dream sequence and that Walt was imagining his perfect revenge that would tie up all loose ends, all while freezing to death in the car.

That would of been interesting. As he is lying on the floor of Todd's lab, it fades to him frozen in the car,,?

Magnets!!

 

[bentley]

I never have figured out why the real ending, where everyone that has come into contact with Walt is either deeply emotionally scarred and worse off or dead as a result of their interaction with him, isn't bleak enough. Just because he killed the Nazis?

 

[The Ref]

Sons of Anarchy is just a joke at this point.

Boardwalk Empire only has 5 episodes left and the first 3 haven't been all that good.

The Leftovers didn't exactly get great reviews and I didn't like the sound of the story.

I'm thinking its time to rewatch BrBa from the start.

Isn't this the ending of Dexter? Not a lot of love for that episode ending...

Walt did so many horrible things, but for some reason, the thing that bothered me the most was him pumping tequila into Flynn non-stop.

 

[Gene Sackman]

You know, all Walt had to do is get in his car and keep driving when he figured out that Jessie had tricked him. He could of kept driving for 20 miles on that dirt road and Jessie and Hank would have nothing... Im just saying.
