AMC's "Breaking Bad" Discussion (2008-2013)

[The_Basterd]

First of all, I know a lot of people didn't love (It's impossible to hate an episode of this great series) the episode, but I LOVED IT!

I think it's obvious why Walt is Pissed about Jesse using his formula...
It goes back to what happened with Elliott Schwartz. Probably once Walt left the business or the reason why he left the business, Elliot used Walt's research to make his company huge, and get rich.
Then he sees Jesse with his work and formula. It's his crystal meth formula in his mind, since without him Jesse wouldn't have it. He doesn't want to see Jesse get rich of his work like what happened with Elliot. He feels threatened because it's happening all over again to him.

I never had a problem with Skyler, I thought it wouldn't be fair to hold her behavior against her, given all the stuff Walt has put her through. But I have to agree that it's getting harder to sympathize with her at this point.

A lot of people didn't love it? I don't think I've read one negative comment about this episode. But then again I just read some critics' blogs.

And that's a good one with the formula. Makes sense.
It's basically also the only thing left he has control over in his life. If Jesse starts cooking his product even the decision to turn down three million dollars becomes meaningless.

From the first episode I didn't like Skyler, she was constantly nagging and complaining and didn't seem like you could trust her. And how does she prove us wrong? She screws her boss that she's been wanting to since they brought him back into the picture. Kinda makes me feel like she was cheating on Walt years ago when she worked there, cause Ted just always acted like there was some real history between them. She is continuously screwing someone knowing damn well what she is doing, and it's not like Ted is a stand up guy either. He's committing serious fraud and she's helping him.

A bunch of people on IMDB on episode night said it was the worst episode of the series, thought nothing happened, and I saw AV Club gave it a B, which is extremely low for them. They give like every episode an A or A-. Then I saw people on the comments didn't like it. Oh, and IGN gave it an 8.0 which is low for them also...

Um, to say nothing happened proves that these so called critics you read, obviously don't know shit. Not to mention the opinion of anybody on IMDB, regarded as intelligent?

1. Hank FINALLY had to admit to someone that he was afraid to return to El Paso because of what happened there last time.
2. Jesse continues down a very dark path, like peddling that meth to an innocent girl.
3. It becomes obvious that Walt is so self-absorbed that instead of being proud of the things he taught Jesse, he instantly snaps when he finds "his" recipe had been used. This set a confrontation that proved they can no longer work together. That's kind of a huge thing.
4. Walt fired Saul, and now doesn't have Mike following him which could prove fatal for Walt or his family, when the cousins return.
5. Hank caught a good break with that ATM camera and is much closer to tracking down Jesse and the Blue meth.

Right, those obviously did NOTHING for the story. Critics are right again.

My buddy used to have a killer vintage shirt that said "Life is serious, don't Meth around"

As soon as I finish my run through Alias (I'm a fourth of the way through Season 2 right now) I'm going to start on Breaking Bad.

Alias is awesome. I've seen it before, just running through again.

Than that's even worse! Neglecting incredible tv for mere repeats of Jennifer "Horseshack" Affleck................

[eyesonfire]

Haha the book was awesome. And of course now we know that Bryan's a meth-od actor.

I could not agree more. I tried to read the forums once, but I had to stop after five minutes. Out of 10 people, at least 8 are trolls.

Any of these look familiar?

"I went to school with his brother and he told me he's gay"
"We went to school together, I mean we weren't best friends, but we hung out like a lot, and they where super cool."
"So yeah did you know he was gay"
"HOT"
"Looks like......."

[Groo The Perverted]

I just got to Season 3 Episode 1 of Alias, so decided to take a break. That's where the show kinda started to drag for me anyway, so I'm watching Season 1 Episode 1 of Breaking Bad.

7 Minutes in and I already can tell that Walter Jr. is going to be one of my favorite characters. Dude's awesome!

"I'm not eating this...it smells like band-aids" looooooooool!

..........

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Show spoiler]Walter totally made that piece of shit jock his b*tch in the clothing store! "take your shot!"

In all honesty, that jock would have destroyed him, but still....that was cool. I wanted to smack that b*tch for how he talked about Walter Jr.

EDIT: on episode 2. lmao @ the kid's answering machine when Walt's wife *69'd the call back.

EDIT: ha ha ha ha ha @ "would you please climb down out of my ass!" ha ha

EDIT: I think I just noticed an error in the show. In Episode 1 Walt's brother in law (the DEA Agent) addressed him as "my brother in law"

In Episode 2, when Walt's wife is talking to Jesse, she says "my brother-in-law is a DEA agent"

He can't be brother-in-law to BOTH of them, can he? One of them he's their BROTHER.

Nope, not a mistake because Hank is married to Skyler's sister Marie.

Does anyone have an iphone and has been able to download the AMC and/or Breaking Bad Bad Chemistry app?

I can't find them on the app store at all and am wondering if they are blocked cause Im in Canada.

Thanks

Yeah Groo, lol, he's not Walt or Skyler's brother he's married to Sky's sister Marie, and yes he is still brother in law to them both.

For those who are interested in the metacritic scores, they finally added the third season.
89, that's almost as high as the scores The Wire and The Sopranos used to get.

Just sayin'

I never use them and they gave season 1 of Sons of Anarchy a 68 which is beyond retarded. It's due to some jackass from USA today giving the show like a 39, or some shit, I want him dead!
