Breaking Bad Season 5

[Montana]

To me, The Wire is 1A and Breaking Bad is 1B, with Mad Men as a somewhat distant 2nd. Wanted to get into BoardWalk Empires but just couldn't. Watched season 1 and 2 episodes of season 2 - never finished it.

The other show i heard was phenomenal was Justified.

The Wire was simply a fabulous show that did not get the acclaim and attention it deserved. To those that can't get into it - give it a few episodes. It can be hard to follow at first because they throw so many characters at you but once it kicks in, wow. Amazing character development, superb acting. So much more than a "cop" show. Never has their been a character before or since like Omar Little. So good that we are thinking of watching the entire series over again (it's been a few years).

Justified is fantastic as well. Has great acting and witty dialogue and keeps you on the end of your seat. HIGHLY recommend that show.

Love Mad Men but I can see why it's not for everyone. It does take some time to get rolling so you would definitely need to watch more than the first episode to really get a feel for what it is.

I really enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Dexter but I kind of lost interest after Season 4, wasn't a fan of the whole Julia Stiles storyline in Season 5.

I don't like the idea of separating Breaking Bad's last into two parts. They did that with Walking Dead last year and I found it irritating. Breaking Bad is such a unique show. It's the first time I've actually hated the main character and will not be sad when he is caught and/or killed at the end. The actor who plays Jesse is amazing (as is of course Bryan Cranston).

Im surprised you did not enjoy Boardwalk Empire. I just started watching it via Netflix and have found it nothing short of fantastic. So far the writer's have done a nice job of incorporating fact and fiction with its array of characters. Thinking about it now, i think this is how Howard Zinn (author of A People's History of The United States) would have written a story-line about this specific period in time.

Finally saw all of Breaking Bad Season 4. I'm really curious how this will go from here. I wonder if Mike will return, due to the outcome. That was a tremendous Gus scene.

I can't believe I was 4 years late to even knowing that show existed.

This scene is what really got me hooked.

I didn't venture into this thread until after I started watching it.

Have no idea how anyone could say Walt isn't likable enough. The way his character has transformed is amazing. Jesse developed nicely as well, but Walt is Breaking Bad.

Obviously the ending to S4 preludes to some sort of showdown, as Breaking Bad is excellent at giving you subtle hints at upcoming events. As soon as they said it wasn't ricin poisoning I had a suspicion that Walt may have went to an extreme to manipulate Jesse. The show is amazing. By far my favorite.

Thinking even deeper into it though...

Gus had some guys at Walt's house shortly before everything went down. How do we know his guys didn't put the plant there? Gus didn't know about the Risin, so maybe by planting that plant in Walt's backyard, he figured he'd frame Walt for the boy.

In other words, I can't wait for July 15th.

Yeah, you know near the beginning of Season 5 they will already start a feud between Jesse/Walt. I love how they interact with each other and love both characters, so I hope they stay close, but it would be entertaining.

And about Walt, love the character. But I get so "upset" every time he gets "scared/shocked." I hate how he breathes heavy and the facial expressions he makes.

I know it kind of added to the character he became, but it was a pain for me to watch :chuckles:

I dont remember what ep it was but it was one of the last 3, Walt is sitting in his backyard spinning the gun on the table and the gun points to the plant. I think that plant was there all along but who knows.

I feel like I should not watch these last two parts til its all over. I hate the stop and go of waiting a week for a new episode, then waiting a fucking year for the conclusion

Best part was easily the end of season 3, for being the end of season 3

I fucking loooooooooooved season 3. The last two episodes had me completely riveted.

For those of you who have seen all four seasons, you can check out the first 90 seconds of Season 5 here.
