Well, at least you didn't make one of those f'n "can someone explain why everyone thinks BLANK is so good' threads.

 

[blame space]

some people actually really care about what other people say about stuff.

like if you say something is so good, some people take that to mean that it is good, and it needs to be good, and if it isn't what they think is good, that you are wrong and why did you lie? it wasn't even as good as you said it was.. in fact it's only good. :/

i thought you said this was gooder, right, uh.. internet? or someone i know? i don't know, all i know is that it isn't even as good as you said it was.

Cinematography is great. Acting..it depends. W.W is good, but when he is talking to his family he is not believable. Jesse, Hank Mike are awesome. Skylar, her sister and W.W Jr. is just fillers, they are sooo irritating.
And like everyone on the net is talking how good and believable W.W transition from teacher to drug lord is. Well.. i'm not buying it. In first season he is scared of his own shadow(not literally) and after 5 seasons of killing huge amount of people he is robbing train Ocean's Eleven style.

breaking bad is a comic book with awesome actors

All of it. 4 full seasons and first half of season 5

"great" is better than "good".
but "best" is better than both.

The mans mind underwent some heavy stuff to boot and it isn't like everything that's happened happened in a week

A year is a very long time and a whole lot can happen in that time especially in Walt's case

i'm being completely serious right now when i say i am really feeling this critique. the only issue is the exact amount of people he's "killed".

Ah ok, then. Man, everyone's entitled to their opinions. It's cool!

 

[Nameless]

I wonder why he doesn't like it. Breaking Bad can be a pretty heavy show, especially early on...nothing but cancer, addiction, money woes, and characters who's lives are filled with failure & regret.

With Gilligan saying that some of the stuff they were going to do in those last 2 "cut" episodes of season 1 will be in these final 8 episodes, I'm starting to fear that Jesse might get killed.

Went through the video. I liked Vince's take on the Skyler hate from 29:15 to 34:00. It's a lot better than the tired arguments from either side, aka "she's 100% a bitch!" or "anyone who dislikes her is a misogynist!" Those extremes in the argument are both really over the top, so I liked his answer, since I hadn't really heard him talk about it.

Although giving a man veggie bacon on his birthday is pretty messed up, yo

I'm just curious, but if you find Breaking Bad to be merely "good" or just "OK", what shows do you consider to be superior? Only curious.

The problem is you listened to hype which made your expectations too big. That is the problem with GAF, things get overblown. I went in knowing nothing about BB and had low expectations and was fucking blown away by it.

You're not alone. It's a good show, I like it, but I never felt the excitement/hype/whatever you wanna call it like some people here do. That said I am looking forward to the conclusion.

I realised the other night that Hank uses Walts drug money for his rehabilitation. Because of this I'm not sure if he'll arrest him. After all if he does, he will bring down trouble on himself won't he?

Yeah, I'm convinced if Hank brings him down, it won't be through the traditional channels.

Creator of the show is playing neutral? Surprise.

He wasn't neutral back in May, talking with Vulture:

One of the criticisms of Breaking Bad that keeps coming up is over the female characters. Skyler White is seen by some as this henpecking woman who stands in the way of all of Walt’s fun.

Man, I don’t see it that way at all. We’ve been at events and had all our actors up onstage, and people ask Anna Gunn, “Why is your character such a bitch?” And with the risk of painting with too broad a brush, I think the people who have these issues with the wives being too bitchy on Breaking Bad are misogynists, plain and simple. I like Skyler a little less now that she’s succumbed to Walt’s machinations, but in the early days she was the voice of morality on the show. She was the one telling him, “You can’t cook crystal meth.” She’s got a tough job being married to this asshole. And this, by the way, is why I should avoid the Internet at all costs. People are griping about Skyler White being too much of a killjoy to her meth-cooking, murdering husband? She’s telling him not to be a murderer and a guy who cooks drugs for kids. How could you have a problem with that?

Edit: I've never gotten the hate. I've always liked Skyler.

 

[ThanksVision]

if jesse dies I'm burning any breaking bad paraphernalia I own

 

[Bit-Bit]

I hope there's a time jump and we see Holly taking over the empire.

She also runs a toy company with the Pink Teddy Bears used to smuggle meth.

The End.

Hank was also babysitting Walt's kids while he took care of business.

There is no way Hank cand do much more than seethe with rage.

I mean, he's only being neutral cause he's probably gonna make her a meth addict, if the promo pics are to be believed. =(

Such a tragic end to the best character in the bb universe.

 

[Frank the Great]

I think Hank will try and find some way to ruin Walt without involving the cops, while also not hurting his kids. He gonna go rogue.

We thought Gus v. Heisenberg was cool, I can't wait to see Hank v. Walt.

But some of the bears go to the dealers, while others go to the man in the narrows.

I didn't like her at first. She's undermining of Walt in the early eps. That said, that's so minor compared to where Walt goes that I find her completely sympathetic after a while.

Regarding the show's level, it's excellent but I consider it a step below the Wire, Sopranos, and Mad Men. I find it a bit too cartoony and the transformation of Walt is fun but doesn't have any real resonnance for me.

The thought of this has me so hyped!

What if Hank uses his knowledge of the Meth Empire to ruin Walt? I'm sure there's a ton of people that would want Walt dead for stepping on their turf or whatever, man.

Only if Walt Jr was secretly a DEA informant the whole time.

And on that note, I'm done with this thread. DIdn't realixe that people would be THAT bad about spoiler tagging stuff.

 

[Pyramid head]

Yeah, I'm convinced if Hank brings him down, it won't be through the traditional channels.

As soon as we saw Hank's boss forced out of his job because he was buddied up with Gus the whole time without knowing who he really was, I knew Hank was going to be in the same position with Walt. He's not going to able to make an official move against Walt without effectively ending his own career.

It's my speculation.

Actually ive been speculating that since like seasons 2.

The Shield, Sopranos, SoA.

Don't want to die: Jesse. Doesn't deserve it, tried to live his life and Walt fucked it up.

HAS to die: Walt. No other way round it, he has to go. My money is in Jesse to off him, after learning about all he has done and maybe to protect Walt's family.

 

[Admiral Bone to Pick]

Hank. He's spent the whole story being spot on about everything; he has a great detective mind and could continue to accomplish great things after the Heisenberg case.

Nope.

They cut it out.

 

[Aiii]

Edit: I've never gotten the hate. I've always liked Skyler.

She made Walt Jr. return his sweet ride! And bought him a PT Cruiser instead!

If that's not evil, I don't know what is.

 

[Admiral Bone to Pick]

It's been well established that there is a double standard for drama shows. If a woman (and god forbid, a wife/mother) does the slightest bad thing, she's a terrible person. Meanwhile, the male lead can get away with just about anything because he's the "badass" character who moves the plot along.
