I Am Watching Breaking Bad, Finally...

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
