Breaking Bad (There will be spoilers here)

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Just wanted to start a thread for this awesome show. Me and Hal were discussing it in the Last TV show thread, but it sucks having to hide everything in spoiler tags

And now that I am completely caught up with the series, I don't have to worry about massive spoilers.

I love the way the show pays homage to so many great shows/movies during some of the episodes. Sometimes subtly and sometimes very noticeable. In the most recent episode it felt like some tribute to Sergio Leone and the great Eastwood spaghetti westerns. Plus it felt like a bit of Taxi Driver thrown in as well.

I was a little disappointed that this weeks episode was a bit anti-climactic after the amazing premiere, but I have a feeling the show will be going to a dark place for awhile.

I have only seen E01 of this season - but I love it .

It will be interesting to see how dark it gets

[Hal-9000]

I've noticed the cinematography since day one.The choice of camera angles and subject matter is great.The foreshadowing shots with the guys in Hazmat suits pulling stuff out of the pool (burned teddy bear) before the plane disaster that occurred episodes later? Brilliant IMO.

The episode with the bell also stands out in my mind.Walt and Jesse are in the shack with crazy meth snorting nephew and the disabled uncle
who could only communicate by ringing the bell.That bell sound extended into the closing credits.Nerve wracking to say the least considering the
scene.

This show can do no wrong by me

[Hal-9000]

Jesse is starting to crack....and I loved the new Skyler

[Hal-9000]

Saul's suit 'n tie this episode....whoa

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Jesse is starting to crack....and I loved the new Skyler

Yeah, he is not in a good place right now. When he walked into his house with that nightmare of a mess inside and he didn't even blink...

[Hal-9000]

He's welcoming the nightmare...you notice how he gets a little pumped when the partiers are starting to go a little animal?

and when he threw the dollar bills?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Yeah, he's definitely heading for a breakdown sometime soon.

And the scene with Gus sitting out in the car (plus the fact there are now cameras in the lab)....do you think Mike said anything to him about the conversation he and Walt had in the bar?

[Hal-9000]

I couldn't tell about Gus, you know he put in the cameras just to rankle Walt, he doesn't need to spy on them..

One subtle line that caught my eye...When Jesse asked Walt if he wanted to do something after work.Only 3 seasons in
and after going through absolute hell together

[Teh One Who Knocks]

That was another good scene....Jesse telling Walt that you get used to getting your ass kicked. Definitely not a good thing for Jesse to be saying stuff like that.


And great closing scene with Hank reading Gale's lab notes...I wonder just how detailed his notes are.

[Hal-9000]

You know that Hank is going to connect something...he sure is treating his wife like shit.

I love his wife

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I know Hank's wife likes to steal things, but I don't understand that whole tangent story of her going to open houses and making up stories about herself just so she could steal worthless items?

Is it because Hank is treating is treating her like shit?

I think they portray it as a stress reaction when she's not getting along with Hank.He's injured and being a total dick to her, seems like that's her way to vent.Love her stories Yes my husband works for Nasa..

[Hal-9000]

August 7th episode..


The scene with Walt and his wife was great.And yes Hank is getting closer...

also, you gotta love Mike as the world weary hitman/cleaner

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Great episode, and although the scene with Walt and Skyler was comical, Skyler is getting on my nerves.

I'm not sure if Hank is getting closer or not. One minu7te it seems like he is, then at another time, it seems like he isn't. When he showed Walt his (Walt's) initials in the lab notes, the look on his face said he was close....but then when Walt mentioned the poet Whitman, it seemed like Hank bought it, so I dunno

And it certainly doesn't look good for Jesse.
