The Official Breaking Bad Thread -Probable Spoilers Inside-

I thought we could do with a thread for the best thing on TV at the moment. Anyone a fan? This is the place to discuss it.

Skyler is a whore, which pisses me off.

Other than that, the show is excellent. I'm still behind on season four, need to get on that.

Season 4 has been a slow burner, I think. But then again I watched all 3 seasons as and when I pleased as opposed to week by week. So maybe that's a factor. But the first 3 episodes were very slow, building up the tension, it all felt very claustrophobic - most of the scenes are indoors, or in the lab, where as in previous seasons they were out in the open.

Skyler has actually warmed to me a tiny bit, she's still a bitch though.

The shoot out scene with the twins is quite possibly one of my favourite scenes from television, except for the build up, it felt a little cheesy and cartoonish for the most part. But the Hank shoot out scene was brilliant.

this show is on my top 5 favorite shows of all time. i guess when a show teaches you how to cook crystal meth, must mean the show's got some balls.

i also think it's brilliant how they managed to make the drug addicted kid the moral center of the show. and the growth of each character, man. turns the world upside down.

totally dope!

but i don't like watching it until the season is over. so i will hold off for now.

Skyler pisses me off too, sometimes I think the writers try to make her into some sort of genius, which makes me even more mad. She's the kind of person who is more then happy to point out someone's mistakes, and then rub them in constantly.

Fourth season has been slow to start, I'm not sure what direction it's headed in yet, aside from the cartel being a big factor.

That scene with Gale singing Major Tom last episode was priceless.

I feel better about Skyler now that she's actually warming up to the goings on.
But yea, she's still annoying. Just the way her face looks annoys the crap out of me. Like she got stung by a big ass bee and is surprised.

I watched up half-way through the 2nd season.

I just can't get into it, the main character has no likeable traits and it all seems too silly. I've been spoiled by HBO recently. I've seen clips from the new season and it seems pretty intense, i just don't want to grind through all those episodes to get there.

No interesting secondary characters either, his son and wife are just tedious to watch, though the dynamic of having his sister-in-law husband as a DEA agent is interesting and will probably lead to a cool climax.

Still, I feel the show is pretty overrated.

Anyone else find it strange that Jesse went straight back to Mike after escaping the shotgun-wielding guys? You'd figure Jesse would think Mike had set him up to get whacked, after all just at the beginning of the episode Jesse suspected that's exactly what Mike was driving him out to do.

Other than that, it was a solid episode all around. Walt's tipping off to Hank (which in the process put the Heisenberg investigation back into motion, putting him at risk) shows how big an ego he now has.

How many episodes deep is season 4 now? I DL'ed the first 2 but haven't watched them yet.
