Breaking Bad

[Daradon]

Yeah, it did get a little slow there thinking about it. It's kinda needed though, or is at least used later.

Nothing in this series ever really goes to waste. Even if the writers did put it in without thinking about where they might go afterwards, (as they have admitted in some cases) the plot twists get used very well later.

That's all the major development I can think of in S4 so far. With very few characters in the show, it will be treading old ground if no new characters are introduced.

For sure I will hang on til the end with only 20 more episodes to go.

It gets intense coming up. Don't give up on it.

Plenty of intense moments from the first 3 seasons of course. Just saying S4 until E6 there is kind of slow without much character development nor plot advancement.

My favorite intense moment was when Walter and Jesse were locked in the RV with Hank on the outside in the junkyard, and Walter killing Crazy Eight just moments after he was about to let Crazy Eight go free.

Trapped in the RV was probably number one for me too. So intense. had no idea which way it was going. Number two you have yet to see.

Three might actually be Skyler confronting Walt at the end of season two. It was finally good to see someone had caught on. And the way she had checked all the loose ends and gave him no possible way to lie was good TV.

Two of my favorite episodes were the peek-a-boo episode and the five days cooking episode. Some real dramatic scenes in those ones. Any scene alone maybe not as good as the ones mentioned, but together as an episode, very strong.

I find that very disappointing. 5 seasons of build up between Hank and Walt and it's just squashed out by some lame group that showed up for a couple episodes in season 5? Accidentally might I add...

I wouldn't necessarily see that as a disappointment.. Breaking Bad has never been about typical story arcs, I think a Hank vs Walt showdown was something that most would see as a typical plot point -- meaning it's probably unlikely to happen in the usual fashion. If anything the Neo Nazi group is probably more in tune with the nature of the show...an unpredicted element has come into the equation to disrupt the balance of things. Besides, the characters are way too complex for a typical good (hank) vs bad (walt) showdown. This isn't an old western. These guys were family after all, and you could see Walt still had a shred of care for Hank as he tried to stop the nazi's from firing on him.

We'll see how it play out but I am kind of glad its not just a predictable ending that people could see coming from a few seasons ago. All parties are still in play. I don't think anyone has the show figured out yet, and the probably won't until the final credits.

[polak]

Yeah I'd be fine with it not turning into a generic showdown between Hank and Walt. I just don't like the idea of the whole show coming down to basically random characters who have barely been developed becoming the main focal point...

Of course who knows if that's what will actually happen and I do have faith in the writers of this amazing show to not let me down but if that's the direction they go then I'm just saying I'll be pretty choked.

Are these going up on Netflix as soon as they air? I just started watching a couple weeks ago and I'm burning right through the episodes and I noticed some of season 5 is up on Netflix. Or did they split season 5?

Yes, they split season five. Two sets of eight episodes each. Season Five Part 1 aired last summer, season five part 2 is on now - five of the eight episodes have aired so far, with the final three episodes airing on Sundays nights on AMC. No idea when or if the second eight episodes of season five will make it onto Netflix.

No. Season 5 is split. You can get the season pass on itunes for the second half of Season 5 if you want to watch them (close) to when they air.

If you use HMA or something similar, UK netflix had the first half of season 5 up way before the other versions did. But I would assume it'll still be a number of months after it airs.

Like a meth head I watched the beginning of the series last Thursday and since then consumed everything I had access to until nothing was left. I just watched everything to date and read this entire thread.

Like others have stated, great show.

I think the best thing this season so far was the confession tape Walt made, would have never of guessed that direction. Is it possible that is a teaser for the overall outcome?

Just an idea like others have. Maybe the DEA is behind everything???

Who knows, love watching it all unfold.

Still to come will be a head to head conversation with Walt and Jesse that will be very intense.

I think the major gun he picked up in the flash forwards will be used to deal with the new gang, he needs heavy armour.

Saul gets the Ricin in the end, two types of people
- those who get away with it
- those who leave witnesses

Welcome to the club.

I watched the previous seasons earlier this year (for the first time) and had avoided all the threads and spoilers too.

[jschick88]

Best episode ever. Wow!

[BlackArcher101]

This is what happens when he doesn't get breakfast.

[Yamer]

I just don't even know what to say at this point. It's looking more and more like Walt will make one final attempt to right the ship and save his family from Jack's crew.

This show is absolutely amazing.

[RogerWilco]

Well that was rather satisfying, to bad I don't smoke anymore.

[Allos]

Wow!! Just wow!!!
