Just finished Season 4. Holy Shit Balls, just when you think it couldn't get better they ramp it up another notch! I dunno how they'll top this for Season 5!

Damn I can't wait for this to start up. Best show on television far and away. I'm really curious as to what this season will be about.
Spoiler:
Obviously I'm thinking it will include fallout between Jesse and Walt from Walt poisoning Brock (I have to think Jesse will find out) and Hank piecing together the truth about Walt's activities.

Just placed my order for the season 4 BD this morning. Looking forward to re-watching it over the next month in anticipation of the new season.

um, this really isn't the thread for discussing Season 5 now is it?

Not sure if this post was intentionally a d-bag move or what, but for christ's sake use SPOILER caps!

It wasn't intentional. I'm fairly certain people have been discussing the show for the past 9 pages?

I just took it to be an image poster with all the meth and money surrounded by destruction. I certainly don't want to spoil anyone, so how do you see it tying to S4?

To me, it doesn't look like

Spoiler:
the factory / lab they destroyed.

Ohh, unless you mean 'The King' part.

xraybies 06-04-12 02:41 PM

Re: Does Breaking Bad ever get good?
 
Yes that picture should be spoilered. Just because Season 5 starts in a month, there's no reason to assume the star of the show survived Season 4.

macnorton 06-04-12 02:52 PM

Re: Does Breaking Bad ever get good?
 
That picture is beyond awesome! Should make a great cover the the eventually Blu/DVD release.

I see that starting tonight AMC is plowing through all 4 seasons before the July 15th premiere - but they're playing them at really weird, inconsistent times - 2-4 episodes a night. Tonight is the first 2 episodes beginning at 3:12am(e). Anyone who doesn't have the discs may want to dvr & marathon this...

Raul3 06-10-12 07:21 PM

Re: Does Breaking Bad ever get good?
 
Or if you really want to watch the series get Netflix. You can instant stream the first 3 seasons. I'm not sure if the last season is there yet. You can even get Netflix free for 2 weeks or 1 month. That should be the fastest way to watch the entire series.

I might actually try to pick this up where I gave up because it was boring the hell out of me to see if I feel differently now.

I quit right around the time when Jesse got his own place and was dating Krysten Ritter. I can't remember how many episodes into that season that I made it, so I'll probably start when they get to season 2. I can always FF past the really bad parts. ;)

Summer tv is so vacant, especially with The Killing, Mad Men and Girls ending this week or next, that I'm willing to give this show another shot. Desperate, I know.

Yep, I'll be catching Season 4 this way after just blowing through the first three on netflix, can't wait. I waited too long to get into this show. They are at odd times, but easy enough to dvr.

Breaking Bad was boring you but not The Killing? Does not compute!!! :)

I'm just barely riding it out in season two because I want to know how it ends. Season 2 has been painful and it does help a bit to know it won't have a season 3. I'm sure that I could have forced myself to finish season 2 of BB if that was going to be the end. ;)

That said, I like Holder and Linden better than Walt and Jesse. :)

RichC2 06-11-12 10:48 AM

Re: Does Breaking Bad ever get good?
 
I'm finally making my way through Season 4, after watching the first few episodes live. Starting around episode 4 the season really takes off and I think this may be the most streamlined and cohesive season so far. I find myself pulling for Walt less and less, and still can't look away. Addictive as ever and no brutally slow rehab episodes or shitty Fly episode this season.

Instead where we had place holders last season, we got Zafiro Anejo.

Last night I saw a commercial with Walt and Saul. OMG!

I've been catching up on all the seasons in the last month and watched Fly just the other day. -ptth-

I had a fly stuck in my office the other day. Got the fucker on my first swing. The mighty Heisneberg needs to work on his technique.

Re: Does Breaking Bad ever get good?
 
If anyone is watching the Breaking Bad marathon right now on amc and hasn't seen the later seasons, be careful. Tonight, in between the end of one episode and the beginning of the next one, during a commercial for the BB marathon AMC gave away the ending of season 4.

No offense but can we avoid season 5 stuff(no matter how vague)?

Well, technically that's a season 6 spoiler. ;)

Just finished Season 4. Wow. Good, good stuff. I'm not sure if they weren't sure if they were getting a final season or what, but that was almost a satisfying series finale.

I think this qualifies as the most cinematic show I've seen.

Every time this thread gets bumped, a little part of me dies. Whenever I see it, even though I know it exists, I'm always surprised all over again, that anyone could possibly ask such a ridiculous question. anyhow, doing a rewatch of the series on my own right now and just finished season 2. Damn that was a good year, with only the Skylar stuff dragging. I was cheering when Gus and Mike showed up the first time. Fun to watch it with all we know now, looking back. I fucking love this show. Counting down days until s5. One Month! :)

Troy Stiffler 06-14-12 10:15 AM

Re: Does Breaking Bad ever get good?
 
Damn. I got rid of cable right after season 1 ended. I've been slumming it on Hulu. But I just got Netflix yesterday. I'm loving going back through. I took in five episodes yesterday evening. Netflix ends at season 3, though. I'm getting my fill of good TV. This show is great. I'm excited to get to Half/Full Measure that everyone online creams over.

madcougar 06-14-12 10:26 AM

Just watched the first episode of season 4. This show cannot possibly get better.

Damn. I'm still on Season 2. Netflix doesn't have Season 4 and I don't like to buy DVD's anymore. I guess I'll see how I feel after Season 3 ends.

^ They're all airing on AMC overnight now. Not sure where they're at right now though. They're doing 2-3 episodes most nights.

This episode and the episode where

Hank goes head to head with the twins
are two of the best moments ever shown on television.

I'm half way through Season 3. Both wives are as stupid and annoying as Jesse's drug dealers.

Troy Stiffler 06-16-12 06:55 PM

Re: Does Breaking Bad ever get good?
 
Damn. I love watching these shows and not having to wait week to week, or even for commercials.

Onto the last episode in Season 3.
