Great to have date, though it's so late.

In the release on their Blog, AMC posted a pic from episode 5.09. Not spoilerly at all, but whatever.

Fuck you for posting that pic, only because I can't stop staring at it wondering what the scene entails.
 
I never got the hate for those commercials lol. Maybe it's because I instantly tune out when ads begin.

They are the worst. Somehow it is always on a brutal cut to commercial, and then it starts with an applause that is somehow 100 times louder than the show.

Nice to finally have a date for the last 8 episodes.

So since there's nothing else to talk about atm, who would be some of your ideas for alternative casting? Randomly occurred to me today that Gary Oldman would have made a pretty good Walter. :p

That's a good call, I could see him playing that role.

Something I've been thinking, you never see Anna Gunn in these interview links or anything. I really wonder if she's a B in real life just like the show.

I can't find the video on youtube but the confrontation between Jesse and Walt in "end times" is right there in my favorite moments. The acting was SO good there from both parts: I always get chills when Walt points the gun on his head, maybe the most intense scene I've ever watched.

I love the season at the end of season 2 where Walt goes to find Jesse in the crackhouse. Jesse breaks down and cries in his arms, hit me hard.
 
Thnx for that panel. Watching now.

EDIT: lol "what came first: the shit or the book"
EDIT2: Great moderation so far. Conan is a big fan. <3
EDIT3: Damn. Getting so hyped and emotional when Vince is talking about the wrap party. Eight episodes left. ;_;



Cool that there is going to be a Talking Bad. Hopefully its a lot better than Talking Dead.

Breaking Bad in LA would have been really changed the dynamic. It would've felt more like The Shield.

Yeah, I can't imagine how that would be. Some of my favorite shots of BrBa are the ABQ shots.

EDIT: Like they said in the panel the city itself was just as much of a character as anyone else and that rings true in retrospect.
 
A couple quotes out of recent interviews:

- Producer Mark Johnson on ‘Breaking Bad,’ The ‘Galaxy Quest’ Sequel, And His New Show ‘Rectify’
I ask Johnson about the upcoming final season, and what he and the rest of the creative staff hoped to achieve in these closing episodes. Creator Vince Gilligan, Johnson says, “wanted more than anything just to know when it was going to end so that he could write to that ending and not just have it peter out. I think he was aware of several shows that had long outlived their relevance and treaded water for a while, and so he just wanted to know, you know, how much life we do have and then write to it. And without revealing anything, I think he’s found a really brilliant way of finishing all of the characters, all of the stories, and all of the arcs. You can see how Breaking Bad has built from season to season, and in fact it’s sort of become a different show than the show it started.”
- Bill Burr Interview
Are we going to get to see you at the end of Breaking Bad at all? Are you going to be back for those last few episodes?

I hope so. I don't know. I've been hearing all kinds of rumors. Somebody said to me they ran into somebody from the show and they asked them what happens in the end, and they just shook their head. I'm predicting that it's going to be the best ending, I really don't think it’s going to be disappointing like some endings can be. They just hit it out of the park every time at some point you gotta be like these guys know what the hell they're doing. I got to be honest with you like, I'm as big a fan of that show as anybody else, I've been invested in that show from the pilot, and to get into that show was literally like being shocked into my television. One of the most surreal and any few times I've gotten to do the show, I don't know, it'd be like getting to go backstage at your favorite rock show -- I've equated it to if you're a fan of star wars all the sudden you’re like a storm trooper you got to go stand next to Darth Vader. I can't believe I'm here, that's really the feeling I get when I go there just always that I can't believe I'm here, and it definitely lives up to the hype. Everyone on the show is really nice, and really just performing at this unbelievable high level you kinda get caught up it.


They're probably talking about the first part of S5
That's what I'm thinking. It makes zero sense otherwise.

That would be the most asinine move ever. Not only would people pirate it to watch it early but you run the risk of people spoiling it for others.

I, for one, would set aside 8 hours and watch them back to back, with 15 minute breaks in between each episode. It would be GLORIOUS. :)

She doesn't understand how her birthday just because the second most important event of the day.

Fuck that won't even need a 15 minute break. Just need a minute break to order some food and another minute to grab it.
