I'd say season 4 is the best season of the show. It has gotten so much bigger and the stakes keep on getting higher, I just imagine everything might collapse sooner than later.

Will be back tomorrow morning to discuss the face melting awesomeness of season 4.

Until then.

Man I envy you. I remember coming in here talking about S01 when S04 was still going on, everyone was like "RUN GTFO" and I came back when I finished it all. I plan on re-watching soon.

If you want to watch Season 4 and not have it spoiled, go right now, buy it off Amazon Instant Video, and enjoy.

I just finished season 3 myself and have a Roku...and have Amazon Prime. Will I be able to watch on that? What are the parameters of buying the entire season? Is it always available to me or do I have a limited time frame to watch the entire season?

HOOOOOLY FUCKING SHIT! I just marathoned season 4 in 4 days and WHAT THE FUCK!!

The entire last half of the season was episode after episode of "this is the best episode of television I've ever seen," topped off with that fucking finale, which I think is the best episode of television I've seen. I'm still in WTF mode. WHAT THE FUCK!? How can a show be this good!?

And that final shot of the season confirming my suspicions that
Walt did poison the kid. Holy hell.

Yep, Walt's a kid-poisoning bastard. Or, rather, Heisenberg is. (don't need spoiler tags, season's over)

It's cool so many people are catching up in between seasons this year, season 5 discussion should be awesome.

The music in the finale was phenomenal as well. They don't use music much in this series, which really adds to the impact when they do. Also, I'm wondering what they're going to do with the next season? To be honest, that episode felt like it could have been a series finale and it would have been a great note to exit the show on. I realize there's still tons of shit up in the air after all that just happened, but now that Gus is gone, I'm wondering who could replace him as the antagonist (other than Walt?). It just seems to me that "I won," would be the perfect line to end the show on.

The show is good enough that there are multiple episodes that would make amazing series finales. Besides the season 4 finale, I also thought "Crawl Space" was good enough to be a season or series finale.

Walt is definitely his biggest enemy at this point, so that alone would be enough to fill up season 5. Beyond that though, there are also whatever higher ups may exist in the Cartel (or Gus' organization possibly) and I would bet anything that Hank discovers Walt for what he is in the next 8 episodes. Plus there is more than enough below the surface with Jesse and Walt (Jane, poisoning Brock) that they could easily spend an entire season on that.

On the topic of Breaking Bad music, the song that plays when they're burning down the super lab is amazing in general, but even more so when you find out it was written/played by two teenage brothers:

Yeah, I can see plenty of angles they could take the next season, I'm just worried that it won't be able to reach the level of climactic importance felt during the season 4 finale.

Also, what happened to Ted? Is he dead? Paralyzed? I literally laughed out loud when he tripped on that rug and hit his head lol.

The look of terror that Walt gave when he saw Hank watching that was priceless.

Yeah, Bryan Cranston is such a good actor.


Speaking of Breaking Bad songs I remember people were talking about this song and then someone posted a link to a REAL cartel song like this on youtube. It was surreal. I wish I could remember the video name, I guess a lot of people got linked to it because it had comments about breaking bad.

Yes, do that.

Also, I'm hoping they show the season 5 premiere at the Alamo Drafthouse like they did last year. I might be in Austin during mid-late July, and I'd definitely swing by to watch.

Just re-watched the first episode of season 4 and just noticing how Gus looks at Jesse not react at all and just have straight up thug face when staring down Gus.

The show's notorious for hints, foreshadowing and allusion to past, present and future events throughout every season.

So, am I the only one who remembers when Hank removed the duct tapes from the RV's door and it created light spots from the bullet holes unto Walter's chest? Hmmmmm.

That it could potentially be foreshadowing to Hank killing Walt.
Click to expand...

i would say the symbolism can be interpreted as a physical representation of hank and walt's relationship right now: through his curiosity and his professional tenacity, hank unwittingly puts walt in a lot of danger and could potentially get him killed. the fact that he can't see walt and doesn't intentionally put the holes of light onto him is significant, if we want to read the meaning here. it's easy to speculate hank may kill walt, but i find it more likely he would do something which leads indirectly to walt's death.

I remember a moment when Walt was scrubbing a mark in the lab, and in the reflection, the mark appeared to be on his forehead between his eyes. Like a bullet hole. I guess that was foreshadowing Jesse pointing a gun at Walt in the second last episode, in the exact same spot? At least that's the closest thing so far.

walt dying midseason could be cool but we have to remember ahead of time that there's a difference between ballsy and good. killing off every member of the cast in real life and replacing them with trained ferrets is, technically, ballsy.

How would Walt dying midseason benefit the show? The whole damn show is about Walt and his transformation.
