Nope, still just Season 1 & 2. I can't believe no channel in the UK wants to buy the rights to Breaking Bad. 'My Transsexual Summer' is being aired tonight at prime time on one of the main channels, that'll probably get viewings in the millions. But Breaking Bad? No, let's not ever show that, no one will watch it and it probably sucks.

I want to give my money to the creators but they're not letting me!

just went on a tear through all four seasons...I finished the season 4 finale today. walter white is one twisted guy. its an absolutely amazing show, I'm dying for the 5th season to start, it seems like it will be much different than the previous seasons since the others blended seamlessly together but too much changed in the final episode for it to work like that for season 5

I sort of hope the whole of S5 is an epilogue, just finishing up the threads left over and not adding anything to substantial.

No Gus, no Tio, and the entire cartel is in shambles. Every single one of Walt's enemies is dead. But we all know that there has never been a TV show without a central conflict of some kind.

There will be a new main antagonist. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's Hank.

imagine this

season 5 opens with a long take of a car driving through the desert/tundra/whatever it is. The car takes a right and we change the shot to the skeletal remains of the laundry place. A closeup from low and behind someone gets out of the car, putting boots on the ground, pause a beat. Cut to Mike's weathered and disapproving face. Roll Breaking Brad opening sequence.

After the sequence would be something like Walt being invited over to have dinner with his family or Walt working at the Car Wash laying low.

You know Gus works for someone else. How else do you explain Madrigal Electromotive GmbH? The company that owns Los Pollos Hermanos and the company that made the air filtration system for the super lab? Who ever Gus works for isn't going to be happy about his death and the destruction of a multi million dollar meth lab.

They are super shady but not necessarily in a position of authority over Gus.

What I meant was they should play with the pieces already on the board, the writers made sure to keep Mike safe so I assume he will still have a role.
After the final episode of S4 if you told me there would only be one more episode I'd be happy, I don't want them to try and go even bigger then the Gus / Cartel arc.

Walt doesn't even need enemies anymore. He is far more destructive and harmful to himself than any other single person could be.

They don't have to go bigger, but a TON still has to happen. A whole hell of a lot. 45 minutes would not be enough to give us anything close to approximating a marginally satisfying conclusion.

One of the worst openings for such a good TV show. What a shame they're stuck with it.

As far as good show/terrible openings go, I think Homeland easily takes the cake

I just finished Season 4 earlier this week... really sad now because of 'the wait'. :(
Been finding myself watching series more than movies lately (never really been a series person besides comedies / sitcoms), started with Mad Men, Walking Dead (couldn't get into it so I stopped after a couple of episodes), and Breaking Bad (my favourite, wow!), good stuff!

Ending of season 4 absolutely blew my mind. "I won." Fucking hell yea you did.

It was interesting to me how in season 4, Walt was a fairly dormant character - it's the first time where he didn't have even the slightest illusion of control over what was going on.

Is there going to be a season 5? If so I imagine someone from Germany might be making an appearance, as Gus' business may just be a segment of that German-based company. After all the amount of income that Gus was bringing in would be a big hit for anyone to take, and as they say there's always a bigger boss just when you think you've got the boss down.

Ok I just finished Season 4 and I have one question:

Was the Lilly of the Valley from Walt's backyard?

I'm not sure if it was literally from the plant in his backyard, but it was definitely Walt that poisoned Brock with Lily of the Valley.

This would be hard to pull off, but I'd love it if the last season would all be about Walt running and constantly barely evading the huge unstoppable destructive force that is Gus' employers. They got real angry about Gus being killed so they used their infinite resources to kill the bastard responsible.

Like..Walt is walking down the street and 2 dudes are following him. A chase later he arrives at some safehouse and the door has been broken open and the whole house trashed, so he runs to Saul and Saul is dead.

unstoppable.

Hard to pull off correctly, because it's easy to get cartoony like the cousins were, but I think seeing Walt go "I Won" without realizing that he is in waaaaaay over his head would be awesome.

Just finished the season 4 finale (after watching seasons 1-3 a little while ago). Great show and it never misses a beat.

It was really clever of Walt to use Jesse's apparent hot button: messing with kids. But was he that desperate that he had to manipulate Jesse in such a way that he would forget all about his hatred for Walt and focus it entirely on Gus? I mean, it worked, but at what cost? I wonder what Walt's delivery method was and if he left no traces behind (or if anyone, even Brock, can recall him doing something suspicious at the house). Because if Jesse ever found out.....oh boy.

My only question: what happened to the ricin? Or is that something that we'll find out conclusively next season or something? I figure that Walt had something to do with it turning up missing because he did a good job convincing Jesse that Gus just HAD to know, even though there was no way.

There are a lot of points in the show where small details are just eliminated and you're expected to believe that it happened the way it was intended, I've found. It's not as airtight as the Wire.

Saul most likely gave Broc a piece of candy laced with the poison. They had already established that Saul was making regular visits to Andrea and Broc's place to drop off money, and that Saul and Broc had built up a rapport.

Huel, Saul's bodyguard, somehow nabbed the cigarette when he was patting down Jesse.

Walt was definitely behind it all, and it seems as if Saul's secretary (Sugar Tits?) knows about the whole thing.

I think it's Gilligan that has said that Walt stops being a sympathetic character, or at least a character that is deserving of our sympathy, after he turns down Elliot and Gretchen's offer to help him. I find it hard to disagree with him on that point.

Anyone who wants to see Don Salamanca kicking ass and taking names in a speaking role should watch last night's episode of Law and Order: SVU. Best episode in years..
