Harbinger Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I don't know what's going on with the show writers but they really need to take a good look in the mirror and get their acts together. The show is turning into a soap opera and it's losing it's appeal. Hopefully they turn this around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many "what the hell's gonna happen next"'s. Soap opera.... come on, dude. I know you like to be the outsider but this is so off-base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't one "what the hell is gonna happen next" that has any drawing power for me. The whole family part of the show is becoming the show. I don't watch breaking bad for the family aspect of the show. I watch it because of the premise of a chemistry teacher who is a Meth producer. And the soap opera part is not off base. It's exactly on base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly on base. The family dynamic has always been important. That was his motivation for every bad thing he has done. Now that the family is imploding, he is gearing up for his biggest meltdown ever, and he is going to take his evil side to a whole new level. I like the fact that they are taking time developing the storyline, instead of rushing into it. Be patient and you will be rewarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's exactly on base. walt's family has always been an important part of the show. its the whole reason he started cooking meth in the first place. without his family, this show wouldnt exist. the premise of this show goes deeper than just a chem teacher selling meth. its about a the decisions walt makes and how they affect the people around him. the writers have done a great job of showing how walts decision to start cooking has had a negative impact on so many people. i really dont know how you can call this show a soap opera. you dont seem to be very good at understanding good television.

G.K. Chesterton Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 I thought this last episode was the best one of this season thus far. I loved Hank's expression at the very end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raoul Duke Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The first part of tonight's episode.... meh. The last half.... EPIC!! Holy intense!! Best show on TV today hands down!! Won't give anything away just in case, but like blister soul said, Hank's expression at the end was NUTS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Unlike any other show, Breaking Bad does an excellent job of not romanticizing drug dealing. I also find that the only character I consistently like is Hank. It has been interesting to watch Walt go from manufacturing meth purely for his family, to actually caring about his 'product' and getting so upset when Jesse was selling it. I find it great that I enjoy this show so much, despite not having much empathy for the protagonist. As a person, I really don't care for Walt. I don't like Skylar either, and while I find myself rooting for Jesse, he just screws up over and over again. Yet I love the show. Go figure.

G.K. Chesterton Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 Wow, that was an intense episode, especially the last 10 minutes. I'm kind of sad to see the Brothers gone. I wonder if the one whose legs got crushed survived? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Intense episode. Does anyone recall the scene were Skylar came to Walt and asked him to help out Hank by informing on Jesse? Remember how she said "I'm not asking you.."? Does anyone think this meant, I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. IE/ Help out Hank or I am going to the police. Maybe a bit far fetched but I just found it interesting that she kept repeating that phrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.K. Chesterton Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 What I thought was interesting was the beginning. I think that it's safe to assume that the man the Cousins' father was talking about on the phone was Gus. But they mentioned "Big Generalissimo". I was wondering if maybe that's how Gus began his criminal empire. Maybe he was a high-ranking military officer in South America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
