They were, but I think the colour of their skin impacts some peoples vision of who is a good criminal and who is a bad criminal.

He was but he also did a lot of good, yeah he did a lot of bad, sometimes for his own gain but he did a large amount of it to clean up the streets. He made backroom deals for profit, but he did a lot of great things for Farmington. He was just a charismatic likable guy. I am so sick and tired of everybody making this a race thing, it's not about race. Just because I hate rap doesn't mean I hate black people for christ sakes. Why is it that when you don't like something people immediately scream racism? I'm a huge football fan and most of my favorite players are black.

I am so ****ing tired of this race card being called everytime someone white doesn't love something black. Hell I hate more of my fellow white people than anything else, so I must be a self-hating racist while you're at it. I was talking about the kids on the Wire being no damn good. I never once saw them do anything for Baltimore, they where selfish, punk ass kids who only did things to benefit themselves including murdering their best friends for profit.

Right now it seems like every damn thing I do here someone is f***ing crying and b****ing and calling me on it. I said this was about Breaking Bad and people refuse to stay on topic, you feel the need to keep taking shots at me again and again. So f*** it, I'm out.

I'm on Season 2 Episode 10, and

[Show spoiler]Giancarlo Esposito

is on there. I wish they'd gone with an unknown guy because as soon as he walked over as

[Show spoiler]the manager to ask them if everything was alright,

I knew he was the guy they were meeting. I mean you don't bring

[Show spoiler]Esposito

in for a one line throwaway scene.

Cool to see him on there though.

[Groo The Perverted]

I'm making a prediction here. Right now I'm at the part where J

[Show spoiler]ane is calling Walter at home.

One more episode in Season 2 to go, and I'm predicting

[Show spoiler]the two dead bodies outside Walt's house (shown in the flash forwards or whatever) is going to be Jane and that scumbag that kept hitting on Skylar at Beneche. Ted or whatever.

I can't see them killing off Jesse, and hopefully Walter Jr. aka Flynn isn't knocked off.

Unless it's Skylar who dies, which would be fine with me because she's annoying. lol

But I think Jane is definitely one of the bodies.

Its really good. I liked the poolside discovery.

[Groo The Perverted]

[Show spoiler]Junkie Jane.

Yes I hate rap, and when Czar asks about why, I give him my opinions on and I will continue to on whatever I want.

But this thread is about Breaking Bad, so try and get back on topic.

You can hate rap all you want but don't stereotype it's fans like you did. That was my problem. You don't know anything about that culture and music so my suggestion would be to not judge people based on what kind of music they listen to.

The Wire didn't focus on criminals and drug dealers. That series focused on the different variations of the city of Baltimore.

You are making Vic and the Lem's of the world out to be the good guys. Vic did a lot of good? Please he shot a fellow cop on the very first episode and his crew robbed, lied and stole from people as police officers. Look I love the Shield it is one of my favorite shows of all time but to paint the Strike Team as good is incorrect. Yes Lem and Vic were great great people but the characters on the Wire were all drug dealing rap listening to thugs

[Groo The Perverted]

I'm officially caught up on Breaking Bad, in time for tonight's episode! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Cool I hope Walt and Jesse patch things up. The "chemistry" between them is really well done and I want to see them work together again.

Sure seems like Walt is trying to turn back time with his meth formula the way he didn't get to with Grey Matter. Can't wait for next week!!

Thanks

He was like a white, less charismatic version of Omar Little.

the reason why the shield is so awesome is the fact these guys are in the grey area...neither completely good or completely bad...

another great ep....im wondering about when hank interviews the RV mother...i thought that dealer got shot but yet he was at the strip club with jesse? or was it just two similar looking dealers?

No it was a flashback to the 1st season when the dealer(Combo) was still alive and part of Jesse's crew. They were showing how they ended up with the RV. It was stolen from the Combo's mom's house.

I'm like Walter White, my anger is always seething just beneath the surface.
