OT: Breaking Bad starts tonight
- Thread starter atlwebdawg
- Start date
Yea everyone find a way to start watching all 4 seasons this week! On Amazon, Netflix, whatever - catch up b/c it's definitely addicting and great way to pass the time til CFB
Yes. Been watching it since the first episode. Best show ever. Thank goodness for AMC streaming the show. I just hope it works. I got a feeling lots of people are going to be watching via the stream.
I think all this provider/carrier drama could end up being a good thing. I look forward to the day that content providers serve consumers directly. Then we can can watch DTV and Dish squirm.
watch the episodes in order because the development of the characters (which is really its key to success). one of the greatest pilot episodes ever. the only slow and annoying part is his wife.
or walter jr, i can't remember what he wants to be called nowadays. i wonder if he'll ever get that 'stang' that he wants. can't wait to see what kind of breakfast he has this season!<div id="LCS_336D0C35_8A85_403a_B9D2_65C292C39087_communicationDiv"></div>
.......17 u Dish, we will get our show to your subscribers without you. Which is interesting. I heard oneof the financial talking heads on TV talking about Dish and Direct dying in the near future.He believedTV viewers would be able to watch anything they wanted on the internet in the near future. Looks like AMC is getting an early start.
She's too hot to get killed off.
Don't know why you find her annoying. She wants to stay out of Walt's complicated affairs, and is scared of them at the same time. She's ignorant of most of the plot because she wants no part of it. But she is smart..and hot.,in her own right.

I came across one that mentioned Walter Jr.'s "insatiable appetite for breakfast," and I got an unexpected laugh out of it.
I don't really like any of the female characters in the show besides Walt's baby girl who gets a pass as she's not even 2 yet. I think my 'favorite' female character is the meth-head hooker that Jesse was doin for a while, and I use the term 'favorite' about as loosely as I imagine her lady bits would fit a telephone pole.
and I can definitely see that happening, all that's going to happen is there will be a power shift from the television/cable/satellite providers to the internet service providers. Hell they already tried jacking up rates on us end users because Netflix was eating up too much bandwidth, boo hoo!<div>
</div><div>I'd love to be able to pay for channels ala cart, though... HBO for Game of Thrones, AMC for Breaking Bad... and as long as I'll suffer AT&T's ******** I'll at least get ESPN3.com for free, so yeah.</div>

Something about the women in that family, neither Skylar nor Marie can keep their big traps shut, and they end up screwing Walt and Hank over almost every time. <div>FlabLoser said:
</div><div>Also, she might have wanted to stay out of Walt's affairs at one point, but she horned her way in during the car wash/nail salon bit and has been 17ing up ever since... "Here, Ted! I know I shouldn't have cheated on my husband with you because I was a scorned wench, but 17 it, I'm gonna give you $650K anyway so you can NOT PAY YOUR TAXES AND KEEP LIVING LIKE A 17ING DOUCHE!"</div>

Typical women. Their characters are accurately portrayed. Also, if it wasnt so obvious, I would predict Skylar flips on Walt in the end to save her own tail. She has a lot of exposure laundering the money through the car wash. Which, giving Ted Walts money was about saving her self from conspiracy to evade taxes with the cooking of the books rather than saving Ted.
There are a lot of channels acquire viewers through surfing. Those channels might lose the surfers if everything goes ala-carte.
I agree with the shift, but I think everything shifts to the internet providers like AT&T Uverse. They already hold the upper hand being the gate keeper to your data pipe.
Or it could go the way of the old phone system model where the local phone companies were required by the Feds to provide "open access" to long distance providers. If that model goes through, an AT&T wouldn't be allowed to throttle/complicate your paid-for-elsewhere TV channels delivered over their internet pipe.
We're a long way from federal involvement. I'd say at least 10 years of ugly stands between now and open access to ala carte TV over internet.

..I've been a Breaking Bad fan since Day 1, but having Walt leaning forward with a constant leer on his face is for the Batman movies. Not for Breaking Bad.
Plus Walt is now displaying Michael Corleone traits of psychopathic confidence & hugs of absolution.
They need to dial that crap back.
I thought Walt had cancer.
Other than that, at least Mike is bad. Mike is not a nice person.

1) walt's cancer was in remission. but i think it's obvious from the lead in that at some point in the future it comes back. of course we all knew that was gonna happen.
2) all walt really knows about being a villain is comic book and movie villains, so it would make sense he'd replicate these people. it's obvious from the opening sequence that walt gets put in his place and humiliated at some point this season. so while he postures as some badass villain, the reality is that he's still an square exchemistry teacher who doesn't know what a real villain is and is getting the big head over taking out gus.
3) the whole story arc for the show has always been to take "mr. rogers" and turn him into "scarface". so of course walt is going to conitnue to show more and more psychopathic tendencies as his confidence grows and he continues to feel invincible.

i don't think skylar flips. if she does flip, i could see walt killing her given his growingconfidenceand feeling of invincibility after taking out gus,and having a "what have i done" moment.MaroonedNdaRock said:
or someone else could kill skylar and the kids, like the germans who had ties to gus and were shown in the episode 2 preview. and remember that mike's lasrt name is german (i'm not even gonna attempt to spell it for you).
most likely, i think **** gets bad and walt and skylar enter into saul's scrubber's program for protection and new IDs. except i think skylar takes the kids and getsdifferent IDs so walt can't even track them down. in the opening sequence walt appears to be a beaten man, like he would after his family abandoned him and disappeared with new separate IDs, just his general demeanor and the spelling out his bday age in bacon like skylar did for him when he turned 50 in the pilot. walt has a new ID and is driving a car with new hampshire plates.
Suddenly Walt is hunkered over stomping about in a steriod rage.
That's going too far too fast.
Yes, Walt's current bout with uncurtailed arrogance will be dealt a crippling blow. We can all see that one coming.
But I don't want to see a Batman villain; I want to see Walt's on-going nervous breakdown slowed down a little.
LIke I said, at least Mike is back. Given the Jesse Pinkman character is all over the place now, & Walt has transformed into the Hillside Strangler, at least Mike's killer instinct (no pun intended) is holding steady.

...I highly doubt you'll see any flipping in Breaking Bad.
Besides, past seasons have already dealt with potential flipping scenarios.
Put it this
way: If Jesse Pinkman is not going to flip with Tio Salamanca in the room, nobody will flip.

i don't get what's so unbelievable to you. we've been seeing for 4 seasons that walt is a very proud man who has a huge ego. he's been building his confidenceup even more beating tuco, beating cancer (for now), beating gus, evading law enforcement. it makes sense that after taking out gus that walt is gonna go overboard with the power thing. it's been coming. walt's not going to suddenly go backwards to where he was now that he's pulled off his biggest coup in besting gus. hell, you could see him getting pissed when walt jr was talking about hank being a hero and gus being the big bad drug lord.
just because i don't see it your way doesn't mean i'm a blind fluffer.

Mike is no cold-hearted murderer like Gustavo. Mike is good at his job. Very good. But he's a pretty genuine, likeable dude. Hell, when he got the phone call that the beginning of the episode, he was out somewhere feeding chickens. Plus think about last season and his relationship with Jesse - he was genuinely looking out for the dude.
