I Am Watching Breaking Bad, Finally...

Please no spoilers in replies...   I watched a few episodes in the middle seasons a few years back and I thought it was great, but I had no idea about the context of a lot of the situations, so I decided to wait and watch from the beginning, so as not to cheat myself. 

So, now that True Detective is off, Fear The Walking Dead doesn't start until later this month, and TWD doesn't start until October, I finally decided to delve in.  So, I started a couple of days ago, and I'm addicted...  It has ruined my gym plans for the last three nights lol.  I'm now in season three, episode three... 

 

One huge observation that I feel compelled to share - I have found Skylar to be unlike able from the very beginning and had a feeling that she was just a giant, monster of a bitch waiting for the mask to melt off.  I feel right in making that prediction, so far.  What a bitch... 

I mean, how can she accept working for that dirt bag Ted and selectively turning a blind eye to what he does (when she is not looking for his longing gaze in return), but demonize her husband and children's father, all while he is fighting his illness?  She is just an idiot.  And I'm hoping Walt pays her back by getting with the hot principal he works for lol.

It really is a great show.  I got hooked literally within minutes.  That was probably the best opening episode of any show I've ever watched.

Funny you should make a thread like this, because I was thinking of doing the same about another show...which I'll do right now instead of high-jacking this one.

Yeah,  I going back to the start of the year, I've done it several times with other shows.  I thought about making this same thread to discuss Sons Of Anarchy, which I finished a few months back, and I also just caught up on the entirety of The Last Man On Earth.

Sons of Anarchy is another show everyone raves about...afraid to start watching it now lol.

I gotta tell you... Wifey and I started SoA a month or so ago, and it is pretty much up there with Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad... Surprisingly...

I really thought it was going to be cheezy as hell and couldn't fathom how they were going to make me interested in a show about a biker club, but damn I feel stupid for thinking that now. It has great writing and they end on cliffhangers so much between shows sometimes you'll string 4-5 shows together... especially in seasons 3-4...

We are almost done with season 5 now, and it has admittedly slowed down a bit... but overall it has been a real pleasure to watch.

I felt the same way Bronn...  I just didn't want to give it a chance, but I just kept hearing people say how great it was, so I gave it a chance, and I just couldn't stop watching.

Like you said, the best part was how they ended each episode leaving you wanting more...  Man, I marathon watched the whole series in like 2 weeks lol.  Every time I'd get 2 or 3 episodes in, I'd think, "Alright, this is it for today," and then the way they ended it made me watch the next one to find out what happened. 
 

And I hope this doesn't taint it for you, but IMO, where you are at now... It really felt like it went downhill for me from there for the last two seasons...  I felt it slowed down, but it also seemed to lose a lot of its momentum and the writing seemed to get lazy and sloppy in the last season.  I'll be interested to see what your feelings are once you finish it!

Also, that reminded me, Game of Thrones is also on the to-watch list...

Additionally, I have to say...

Also, since I initially posted, it is official...  I HATE SKYLER'S GUTS.  Like I hate the woman that is even playing her, lol...  Which is a credit to her, because she is really selling the role lol.

 I am now in the episodes where Hank was shot, and this is INCREDIBLE.  Just great writing and story development!

The last five minutes of that episode are too much. Some of the most intense television I've ever watched...just perfect.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
