Breaking Bad

I liked how Todd didn't even care that his crew had been slaughtered, dude just thought it was cool.

This is basically what Vince said on Talking Bad. Damn it=P

a_skeleton_03 and Ambi get to figure out an avatar for me to wear for the next two weeks=P

The funny thing about Jesse living is he was originally slated to be killed off in the first season.

I was hoping Walt would cook one last batch before he died. When the cops arrive they see the purity is 100%.

50% of cars are stolen this way - so yes people are that dumb.

That would be so cheesy.

Sooooo, I WAS right that Walt clearly knew Jesse was alive before he went there. Was I right that he went there at least partially intending to save him? I think so(of course), what say ye, BB thread?

Yes that he knew beforehand. He figured it out when he saw Skinny Pete and Badger. No that he went there to save him, he was going to kill him until it was shown how miserably he'd been treated. Jesse wasnt his enemy stealing his glory, just a victim.

Great ending I thought all around. Jesse Slave Leia choking Jabba/Todd was satisfying. And even the goodbye to Skyler I really enjoyed.

its what i heard when we discussed this a while back. now? i dunno, maybe it will be like breaking bad which had comedy elements then became much more dramatic.
old article.
Better Call Saul: AMC Considering Spinoff | /Film

Gould penned the Season 2 episode ?Better Call Saul,? which introduced the character when Walt and Jesse needed help getting Badger out of trouble with the DEA.Saul quickly became a fan favorite and a reliable source of comic levity in the dark and heavy drama. Appropriately, the spinoff is being conceived as a comedy, either in an hour-long or half-hour format.

Though the possible spinoff would presumably be set in the same world as Breaking Bad, the vast differences between Walt and Saul suggest a very different series.At last year?s Comic-Con, Gilligan spoke a bit about what Saul?s story could look like. ?I like the idea of a lawyer show in which the main lawyer will do anything it takes to stay out of a court of law,? he said. ?He?ll settle on the courthouse steps, whatever it takes to stay out of the courtroom. That would be fun ? I would like that.?

i also want to add one more thing about walter's machine gun setup. if this was an unrealistic techno gadget walt built, it would be some kind of super gun with infrared and it would elevate out of the Caddy''s trunk spraying precision death. it not only was a simple mechanism it also shot through the trunk of the car hitting targets at random.

oh and since walt built the machine, does it technically count as suicide?

Nah, it would be ruled as accidental ;P

If there isn't a .gif of this by tomorrow, I'm going to be extremely disappointed in the internet.

The only thing that bugged me about the gun was the fact that it was the exact radius to hit all of the house, and nothing beyond it haha.. like it was 100% calculated knowing how large of a radius would be needed to clear the house.

The rest i was fully fine with, fuckin great series, and a decent ending. I'll take it.

He knew where they were, he knew the layout(did he even meet Jack there before?). He used his mathscience skills to figure out the rest and parked in a very specific spot.

Now, only Todd ducking when shit started happening was a little silly, but whatevs.

good ending, but I dunno it felt like it was missing some soul or something, felt a bit too ... mechanical. I woulda loved a better flashback scene that showed Walt leaving Grey Matter and exposing his fatal flaw of pride, or one where Walt holds a baby Walt Jr and promises him the world. I rewatched Ozymandias right before and it was just such a heart stopping episode, the finale didn't quite feel as good.

Wrapped up everything though, but also didn't do the one thing that I hoped for: showing that for all of Walt's actions, the drug trade will continue on unabated with new players. Which i guess is pretty obvious, but would have been nice to show the cycle continues.

I was expecting Walt to kill them all with some magic chemistry while demonstrating his new cooking method. Instead we got a sentry gun that required perfect parking, perfect building placement and for nobody to look in the trunk.

Kinda weak, but the last few episodes have been strong enough to make up for it.

So why did he go out of his way to kill Lydia. Lydia never really did anything bad to his family, did she?
