So, I finally decided to watch Breaking Bad. I can't remember why I didn't watch from the beginning. Might have been a conflict with other shows. Anyway, I love it. Just finished season one last night.

The sister-in-law is annoying. Interesting choice with the son, but I guess that plays into all the financial issues the family has. Hank, the DEA agent, is hysterical. I didn't realize this show would have so much humor in it. Can't wait to see what Walt will do next. He's getting bad ass now.

Found an old thread on here that I didn't want to bump since it's over two years old. But, I agree with one post that said the tiarra might have been seized evidence that Hank took. I remember he had a weird look on his face when he saw it unwrapped and then he immediately asked Walt for a stronger drink.

The best thing about this show is that, when you think it can't get any better, it does.

Last season was the best ever.

Glad to hear that. I'll start Season two this week. A buddy of mine has the set.

And when you catch up to this season, be sure to join in on the weekly threads!

Two moments in season 3 took my breath away, but one ending sequence in particular is the coolest thing I've ever seen on TV.

season 3 is definitely one of the best seasons of a tv show ever

I agree with you but, really, Breaking Bad always has great endings for each episode, IMO.

I think season 2 was much better.
Yes, season 3 had four or five completely amazing episodes, but the rest was IMO kinda...boring. Especially when rewatching the season.
Season 3 also had "Fly"....ugh.

Season 3 had tension most movies try to achieve and never come close to, but started off slow and had Fly. But it also had the most interesting story developments of the series.

Season 2 was just waaaaay too reliant on coincidence.

Okay, just watched Eps 1-4 of Season 2 last night. Like how they are teasing what I assume to be what will happen in the season finale. I like shows that keep me guessing what will happen next.

Walt standing naked in the grocery store made me laugh out loud. I thought Jesse would annoy me, but I really like his character. Hank too.

I wondered how long Skyer would put up with Walt just taking off and not coming home for hours at a time. This show does get better with every episode. Remnids me of when I watched The Wire and The Shield.

I burned through season 2 all last weekend. I couldn't stop watching to see what Walt did next. Gonna start season 3 maybe tonight. This is definitely my new favorite show, I might even rank it above The Shield.

Season 2 was a lot more darker for me. I don't remember much humor. Jesse's literal downfall in the junkyard had me busting a gut. Definitely wasn't prepared for the tortoise season. It was one of the most awful things I've seen on tv.

The acting is just so damn good that these characters have such a realistic feel. I have a feeling that there will be a big showdown between Hank and Walt in the near future. Don't spoil it guys. lol

Tarantino

Absolutely.

The Fly wasn't that bad and since it was the only kind of episode in the entire season, it was a nice change of pace.

I know I'm in the minority in this one but I was just as entranced as any of the other eps.

edit: Also, I don't bother to re-watch shows like BB. I'm sure they are boring on 2nd view.

Tarantino

That's entirely wrong, especially in the case of Breaking Bad.

Ya know, I read so much bitching about The Fly that when I finally got to that episode I was pleasantly surprised...

Also, to the OP, yes, it's a fantastic show! I just got into it in July and it didn't take me long to catch up. Some hilariously dark moments and some that are just shocking, to say the least. And top notch acting, always...

Before you "graduate" to the current season threads, please learn how to spell Skyler name correctly. People there get too sensitive about that.

I didn't mind it when I watched it the first time it originally aired and just recently when I watched the Blu-ray in preparation for season 4 I thought it was just as good. I don't know what people's big beef with it was really. I kinda liked the fact that we had a slow episode that basically just focused on the dynamic between Walt and Jesse.

Gdrlv

Indeed. I don't know how many times I've watched that scene, but it's a lot.

Mike86

What about
?

That was probably one of the craziest/breath-taking scenes in the show's history in my opinion.

joefrog91

Typos are a bitch.

And then I did another one that made me have to edit this post.

Raul3

I was just kidding.

He'll look back and have a good laugh after reading those rants...

Okay, just finished first three episodes of Season 3. Love the way Giancarlo Esposito is just a chill mo-fo. Knowing we're in Season 4 already took away from the suspense of the twins sitting outside Walt's bathroom. Skyler finding out was a wow moment and didn't think she would ever let him back in the house, but I guess she had to.

Love Bob Odenkirk's character. He's basically playing the same character he did on The Garry Shandling Show. Laughed hard at how he put it to Jesse's parents at the closing.

I can't watch the episodes until I put my daughter to sleep, so I've been up past 1 am the last four nights watching episodes. I remembered to DVR the new season 4 ep last night.
