Thank you Netflix. I'm 6 episodes deep into Season 4. By the time I get back into town....my DVDs will be here and I should be able to catch up by around the 2nd-3rd episode of Season 5.

I don't know that it matters so much now that we know how much BB we have left, but this is interesting.

More and more people are able to tell you they watch Breaking Bad now
by Sean O'Neal July 16, 2012

Proving that a cult basic-cable underdog can eventually find ratings success through the simple grassroots effort of everyone talking about it, all the time, everywhere, Breaking Bad continues to grow its audience, with the fifth-season premiere scoring 2.9 million viewers—a 14-percent improvement over last year's debut, which was itself a 30-percent uptick over the previous year, and so on. The show also saw a 34-percent rise in adults who can now finally have conversations with their coworkers today, such as talking about this Hollywood Reporter profile that says AMC originally wanted Matthew Broderick or John Cusack before recognizing the valuable additive properties of Cranston, and how wrong that would have been. Anyway, as Entertainment Weekly notes, it's unusual for a heavily serialized show to actually gain viewers as it goes on. But in addition to it garnering so much critical acclaim and reaping plenty of awards, analysts believe that its unpredictable increase in popularity can be directly attributed to that time you put "I AM THE ONE WHO KNOCKS" as your Facebook status.

JFC, Broderick or Cusack would have killed this show.

Thank God they got the right guy.

Yeah, how bad would that have been? That said, before I'd ever seen an episode, if you'd told me "the dad from 'Malcom in the Middle'", well... you know.

Just watched it. Pretty amazing start.


Ted: I will....never....breathe one word of this..

Skyler: Good

ROFL She's such a bitch.

I think the big line was, "I forgive you."

Holy shit Walt, really?

He's the boss now, and he's giving Skylar a pass. She'd better not **** up again.

For some reason, I knew he was going to say something asshole-ish. Especially after his convo with Saul. I didn't expect Skyler to say that to Ted though. The maniac gene is wearing off.

In that one scene she goes from being genuinely concerned for Ted... to... something else. Ted's fear changes her whole reason for being there. And after he says he'll never breathe a word of it, all she can say is "Good.".

I loved that scene.

KcMizzou 07-16-2012 09:28 PM

Skylar's now honestly afraid of what her husband has become. The lengths he'll go to, etc. But she also kinda gets off on the power.

Was also in season one. Had a great scene where he argued with Hank about the legalities of entering the RV/meth lab, which was located in the junkyard, without a warrant.

Jessie's probably dead by the end of the series. The continuation of Walt's downward spiral probably means he's going to "have to" kill someone close to him. Jessie? Hank?

Maybe Walt does take out Hank. I could see that. But in the end, Jesse takes out Walt, and takes over as "The Man". Heads down that same dark road Walt did.

That's how I'd write it.

That's reasonable. We'll also have to find out why Walt was where he was in the opening scene. Judging from his appearance, it was a flash-forward that won't happen until the end of this season, or maybe even next season.

I still want Walt to have some sort of redemption and find that perfect moment to die that he was wanting. Having him die of cancer after all the crazy & dangerous crap he's done may be too obvious, but I like that ending. I have a horrible felling that his whole family and Jesse will die and Walt will be left as the only alive in a kind of drug lord purgatory. Because he's no longer afraid to die-- he lives whether he wants to or not.

I think the gun he got out of the trunk has to be for Jesse or Hank.
