Breaking Bad on AMC (3 Viewers)

[Raider Nation]

RUN, HANK!!!

It must be a strange feeling to watch someone swing an axe at you.

I don't want to find out.

 

[bentley]

So, Walt turns on Gale completely out of ego, right?

 

[Raider Nation]

This is the episode where Gus plays Bolsa like a fiddle.

 

[Raider Nation]

So, Walt turns on Gale completely out of ego, right?

He wanted Jesse back so he wouldn't take Hank for all he's worth.

 

[Abraham]

Settle in. We are to the good part.

Should I grab more beer now?[/quote

Yes. Only ~36 episodes to go, each better than the last.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

So, Walt turns on Gale completely out of ego, right?

I always took it as feeling responsible for Jesse's ###whooping and bringing him back in as restitution.

 

[Raider Nation]

Marie sucks. Would have been so much better if Hank were single.

 

[bentley]

I see that. But I also saw that Walt was a little put off when Gale had all the prep work done without him having to say anything. I think he saw Gale as a rival and used the Hank/Jesse thing to put the rival in his place.

Marie grew on me during the series. This is about the time I started to change my opinion on her.

No. Jesse was a threat to expose Walt. That's why he brought him back after showing such admiration for Gail.

I could see a little of that motivation thrown in.

Welcome.

Is she stealing something or wearing purple? :riveting:

Disagree.

Glad I wasn't the only one.

:highfive:

I can't think of one instance where she was essential to the plot.

Disagree.

You're wrong. Pistols at dawn under the willow tree to settle the matter?

And right there when Walt immediately jumped Jesse's ### when Jesse started talking about cooking without him.

 

[Raider Nation]

Will Hank be ordering minerals soon?

 

[Raider Nation]

Jesse bored in the lab is ....

 

[bentley]

Is Flynn reading Killing Pablo? That was a damn good book.

 

[Homer J Simpson]

Jesse bored in the lab is ....

Yep. This is about the point in the series where I really started liking Jesse.

[Das Boot]

Marie sucks. Would have been so much better if Hank were single.

Marie grew on me during the series. This is about the time I started to change my opinion on her.

I think Marie was key in Hank accepting the El Paso promotion, she seemed more interested in Hank getting his recognition and due than Hank himself did.

And if not for Marie's dogged insistence that Hank get top notch rehabilitation, Hank may have never recovered to the point he could work again - other than a desk job. Then he never would have been back on the blue meth case.

 

[Raider Nation]

"Fly" is the one episode which doesn't really require repeated viewings.

And Hank's call to Marie in the desert is one of the 2-3 most poignant moments in the entire series. It wouldn't have the same emotional effect if Marie was just some off screen character throughout the run of the show.

So, Walt turns on Gale completely out of ego, right?

I always thought his primary motivation was self preservation. He realized he was teaching everything to someone not loyal to him, but loyal to Gus. And someone that Gus had complete trust in. Plus, he couldn't control and manipulate Gale the way he could Jesse.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Nah, there was no friction or anything like that with Gus yet. Walt did it strictly to get Jesse working with him again, so he wouldn't ruin Hank's life with a lawsuit.

As for Marie, yeah, she was annoying, but she was a key supporting character. Like bentley said, Hank's phone call to her after arresting Walt would have had a lot less impact if we weren't as familiar with her character.

 

[timschochet]

For those of you with a Kindle, check out "Breaking Down Breaking Bad"- its $3.99, and only 100 pages. I read it in about an hour. It's got some great insight on the character motivations, plot lines throughout the 5 seasons, top ten moments etc. A quick fun read.

Hey, look at me! I can read fast!

Walter saw Gale as his replacement. Whether he was justified in that is something else entirely.

According to the book I just referenced, Walt could not control Gale the way he controlled Jesse.

Of course you don't actually need a Kindle since there's an app for mobiles and PC.

 

[Judge Smails]

oooh thx.... i forgot netflix has it free,thx

If you have never seen the show then I am seriously excited for the next few days of your life. I'll check back at 4am when you are five episodes past the point where you said to yourself "one more episode then I'm going to bed."

I felt I was on a multiple day binge just like the tweakers in Jesse's house. Multiple 1:30am nights, and I typically go to bed at 10:30-11.

 

[belljr]

these twins are meanies

Oh Christ. You need a book to help you with talking points for a GD TV show??? Do you have any original thoughts and opinions?

 

[belljr]

the principal is hot , right?

 

[Raider Nation]

the principal is hot , right?

Uh, yeah. But only in a scorched earth sorta way.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Ugh. I forgot how good this show is and how much I really came to "care" about these people.

 

[Woogie Lee]

what the hell...why so many depressing commercials??

 

[Dark Matter]

It's all about Walter's ego. As much as he rationalized his actions supporting his family, in the end, it was all about him.

How I would rate the seasons:

S1 = 3/5 stars

S2 = 4/5

S3 = 2/5

S4 = 5/5

S5 = 5/5

S6 = 5/5

so um i thought there was only 5 seasons

Lots of people break up season 5 since the first half aired a year before the second half.
