Breaking Bad
I recently decided I really need to start watching a lot of the tv dvds sitting around, unopened.
About 3 weeks ago I started Breaking Bad. I've had all 3 available seasons for quite a while now. I started season 1 once and watched the first 2 episodes, but got sidetracked, so I started over. I've been watching 2 episodes at a time so I don't burn through them all too fast without letting them sink in a little.
Currently I'm over half way through season 3 and Holy Shit (!), this show is indeed as great as they say! I think it may be one of the best tv shows ever made. Episode 7 of season 3 is easily one of the best hours of tv I have ever seen.
With only 5 episodes left for me to watch I'm kinda getting pissed season 4 isn't available yet.

Yes it is. Since I no longer have Cable, I haven't seen season 3 onward.
Sons of Anarchy is also very good.

Re: Breaking Bad
This show is so good, I'm starting yet another thread about it.
I suggest you all do the same.

Re: Breaking Bad
I haven't seen it yet - but regarding SofA, I watched about 15 min of one episode - they got into a shootout with some hispanic gang members & decided to hang around to talk things over for about 10 minutes after the shots were fired. I switched channels at that point & haven't gone back.

Re: Breaking Bad
I just finished season 4 and I'm almost speechless. This may wear off in the next day or two, but I find it hard to believe Tv will ever get any better than this.
All I can think is: "Fuck you every other Tv show ever made; you just been trumped. Stop trying."

I don't visit the Lego thread, so I'm putting it here.

Re: Breaking Bad
Okay, in all seriousness, the fucking editor of that fucking Albuquerque newspaper needs to be abused to death with a pitchfork. Not even a week, and he runs a major fucking spoiler from the finale as if it were an actual news story, obviously to drum up sales as a collectible.
And then every fucking other news source runs a story about how cute it was. You can't go online without having it plastered in your face. All y'all "news" whores can go fuck yourself. Zero, that was the best three bucks I've spent in a long time.

Re: Breaking Bad
Is this show a comedy, or does it just seem that way at first since Walter's so inept?
Not saying that sarcastically. I just watched the first ep, and it was some pretty dark humor, and I see the potential for much more. I didn't know much about the tone going in, and expected something more dramatic.

Re: Breaking Bad
You have to stick with it. The full arc of the series is a normal average schmuck that descends into pure evil badass. The first couple seasons are him bumbling and figuring things out by trial and error.

Re: Breaking Bad
Walt lays out the entire show in the pilot.
“You see, technically, chemistry is the study of matter, but I prefer to see it as the study of change: Electrons change their energy levels. Molecules change their bonds. Elements combine and change into compounds. But that’s all of life, right? It’s the constant, it’s the cycle. It’s solution, dissolution. Just over and over and over. It is growth, then decay, then transformation. It’s fascinating really. It’s a shame so many of us never take time to consider its implications.”

Re: Breaking Bad
Didn't say I didn't like it, Foolery, just that it wasn't exactly what I expected. Even Sopranos and Deadwood didn't exactly enthrall me with the first ep.
I do have to say, in retrospect, they did an amazing job of making you think Walt was strung out (is that the right word? I'm drug illiterate) on meth during that opening.

Re: Breaking Bad
I would suggest all the characters get more "human" as it goes along. They're only showing you one facet of each personality as it gets started.

Re: Breaking Bad
Very tight continuity in this show, like the brand name on the crib an episode or two after Walt kills Crazy Eight. Also noticed that, right after he did so and is sitting in the car, his reflection in his rearview mirror looked more like pics I've seen from the end of the series than how he looks now. I imagine that was probably intentional.
