You caught me pre edit, but yeah only the first few episodes seemed believable to me. That isn't to say the character personalities aren't believable though because thats why its so good.

I would say walt is the only character that has gone off the deep end, and even then that was from being freed from the chains of a big person watching over him. And now everyone is pretty much watching the train wreck that he is slowly crash. But i think that was the whole intent of the show to present walt's ego grow and consume him as the show went on and naturally the operations had to get bigger and deadlier.
Yea te cartel types he was messing with would have straight murdered him without warning.
Black bars invading this thread? Time to bail out? Time to bail out.
More Skylars? Thank god I havent seen those shows ..

5>4>3>2>1 is the correct order, although it's tough to be definitive on season 5 yet. If we just went on the first half of season 4, it wouldn't have been nearly as great. It was the second half of S4 where things got insane.
Skyler would be a breath of fresh air compared to nearly every character on TWD. Haven't seen HoW though.

Okay yup, I meant to stop coming into here a few days ago and now with those spoilers...I'm gone. Time to remove this from my subscriptions until the premier so I'm not tempted.
AMC put up their own recap video in case that fan-made one isn't your style.
EDIT: "I'm not in danger - Skyler! - I am the danger" was edited horribly there

I just finished a rewatch of season 4, and the last six episodes starting with Hermanos are so fucking incredible. Right now I would go 4> 5a=3>2>1.

Just a reminder that "The Writers' Room" starts up on Sundance tonight at 10pm. Jim Rash hosts the entire Breaking Bad writers' room in conversation about the show and the process. You can also watch it online here.

Are they allowed to submit a trailer for Best Actor consideration?
This is probably old, but here is video of Aaron Paul being cool and going out to greet some Irish tourists that were spying on his house
Dude seems real down to Earth, he should stay that way.

He'd have been well within his rights to unleash the hounds on them
Driving up to people's houses like that is not cool
especially since his entire family was amassing at his house apparently for the Season 5 final 8 episodes premiere and they were like there right in the middle of that lol

I think it makes sense that everything is amped up now. It's a reflection of Walter's transformation over the course of the series from self-effaced school teacher, to pragmatic meth cook to power-mad evil genius.
I kinda see Breaking Bad as one very long movie, so to me it's fitting that shit gets crazy during the final act IE season 5.
Such gorgeous visuals. This has hyped me more than a real trailer could have.

My biggest fear for Walt was the cancer coming back and him slowly wasting away, alone. Last shot of the series is a frail sickly man in a hospital bed with nothing left but regret and suffering. Then I realized Walt would put a bullet in his brain before he ever let that happen and felt much better.
Someone kills him, he kills himself, or he gets away with everything. These are the only three possibilities if Vince resolves the character honestly.

If the trailer means anything, surely one of those options is not possible. The poem kind of gives it Walt's endgame.
Yeah there's no way they chose that poem without knowing what it meant. Walt is going down.

I still think the last shot of the show will be Walt dying and then more shots of the affect he has had on those around him. It'll show Jesse doing whatever, maybe reuniting with Andrea, it'll jow Marie/Hank all messed up, it'll show Skyler/Jr. messed up but they'll find a fuckload of money left for them to bring it all full circle. Something along that line.
Then it will show one final shot of a flashback to Walt's more innocent times, then fade to black.

I don't think that many main characters will survive. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the exact opposite happens in terms of who lives and who dies.

Least likely, sure, but possible. Walt surving & evading capture but still losing his family, his identity, and any shred of his old life would still fit. The death & downfall of Walter White might not be as literal as some think.

I'm watching some of "Salud" because Sundance is running it right now. Walt's monologue about his father to Jr is superb.

that's like the apex of the character for me. he lays out his reasoning in a way that's generational, and does it so perfectly that you're right there in his lap, even if he's coming off a hangover and some pills. that's walt's motive right there, whether you believe him or not.
:| so did mediacom.
had to resort to iTunes though $22 was a bit too much it was worth it.

Would kind of make the use of the poem meaningless, then. I guess they could do it but in hindsight it would be stupid and this show isn't stupid.

I just hope they top The Shield's ending. Still my favorite ending to a show,

Hell on Wheels' recent season went up on Netflix streaming today in preparation of its new season starting the day before Breaking Bad. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Breaking Bad is up tomorrow in that case. *wishful thinking*
