Anyone watching this magnificent show?

Bewbies · 08-28-2012, 02:59 PM

Walt is gonna stand up and punch her straight in the face one of these days...

Bewbies · 08-28-2012, 02:59 PM

And she'll have nobody to blame but herself.

This is the most I've liked Skyler since she was giving Walt a birthday handjob in the first episode. She's awesome now.

I relish every time that Skyler and/or Marie are in a scene.

There isn't enough Marie this season it seems like.

Seems like it's been a little light on Jesse somehow, too.

It feels light on Jesse to me as well, but that might be because he's been the spotlight for two of my favorite moments of the season... so it feels like he should have more:

1) Magnets Bitch!
2) The White Family Dinner with Jesse as guest.

Both of those were just excellent Jesse/Aaron Paul moments.

ALot of these serial type shows the actors are only contracted to work a certain number of episodes per season. Thats why you will see them disappear for an episode or two, or you might get a "Filler" episode like season 3 "Fly"

Uh-oh.

You just called "Fly" a filler episode. Get ready for the hurt some of the fansof the episode are going to bring.

I feel like Season 5-A issupposed to be a complete character assassination of Walt, so he's deserving of whatever will become of him in the second half. If anything, the consistent portrayal of Mike as anything other than "the Cleaner"-- he's now a caring Grandfather?-- serves to bolster the idea that Walt has lost any sense of the morality with which he started the series. the "Madman Walt" tilt will be completely formed following next week's episode, and there will likely be a dense Walt v Jesse plotline in the next half. I think Gilligan knew he had to prolong this season into two halves, so he's deliberately used the first half to justify the second. I partially understand Reaper's complaints about forcing the plot, but a suspension of disbelief is really necessary- and expected- at the end of any successful, heavily scrutinized serial.

heh, oh i know....... : )

**morphius** · 08-28-2012, 07:48 PM

I didn't feel it was that forced, Mike had tried to kill Walt a couple of times now, and the way Mike was just acting like Walt is a hack was bound to lead to something violent. The parts I've found interesting is that Jesse has been the idea man, magnets, how to rip off the train, that Walt is going to be lost without him.

It's been a process leading to that moment, a moral decline that's been going for several seasons now. A big scene for me is when he didn't save Jane in season 2 and justified it to himself by saying he was protecting Jesse from her negative influence and the drugs. But really, his main motive was that he was jealous over her control of him and wanted to continue to use and manipulate him (as he's been doing for the bulk of the five seasons).

I've been sick of Skyler since season 1.
