Anyone watching this magnificent show?

Love Breaking bad. Have zero desire to ever watch Mad men.

Demonpenz · 08-02-2011, 07:02 PM

mad men is so bad ass. there are a couple shows coming out on regular cable that are set in the 60's trying to cash in on it's sucess

**notorious** · 08-02-2011, 07:02 PM

Doesn't make sense.

Breaking Bad = Viewers

Viewers = Advertising

More Episodes = More Advertising

More Advertising = More $$$$

WTF am I missing here?

I would love both Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead to move to HBO or Showtime. Failing that, then maybe FX. Or any channel that won't shy away from staying true to the product.

Damn. Just watched Season 2, Episode 12 when Walt watches that blackmailing junkie bitch choke on her vomit. I simultaneously cheered for her death and mourned Walt's expiring morality.

Totally agree. Jesse's character did nothing. Hardly any action at all, and not much to move the story along. They wound up getting the carwash and Hank had the files dropped on his lap, which will both play major factors down the line, but that was about it. I agree with your post after this that the writers are distracting us from something bigger going on. This was definitely one of the least engaging episodes I've watched.

Yeah that scene was definitely a big turn in the show.

Maybe that's one of the reasons the network says they don't need to pay for 13 shows next year.

I don't think Jesse had to actually "do" anything; his facial expression and attitude said enough. He is completely lost and in a dark place right now. His friends are gone, his parents are gone, and the closest thing to a friend or father figure he has now is Walt, who barely notices him and is too self-absorbed to care about Jesse's problems, even though Jesse just committed murder for him.

Jesse is the most interesting character in the show right now.

Agreed 100.

I agree as well, when I said that he "did nothing" I meant action and story wise, he's in the same exact place at the end of that episode as he was the previous.

Walt went through a million emotions within 10 seconds, and everyone of the emotions showed with his facial expressions.

The acting in that scene is unbeatable.

It's a good thing they didn't kill him off at the end of season 1 like they had originally planned.
