Breaking Bad

[SharkTank]

I didn't make a prediction that Jesse would die, I merely stated that would be the best thing for his character. Dude is still a wanted man, has been traumatized beyond recognition and doesn't have a penny to his name.

You'll also notice that of all the theories I debunked, none of them turned out to be correct like connecting meth to Gray Matter, Walt Jr killing Walt, etc.

In post 576 I even say that I don't have a clue how it's going to end. I stand by everything that I wrote in this thread.

lol you still are criticizing people but yet can't say you were wrong in the slightest about your own? I bet you and your girlfriend have a strong relationship lmao

How did Walt get the ricin into the stevia packet and make it appear unopened?

I'm going to go with syringe....the real trick is how he got it there just in time (there was only 1 packet but how did he know the table would be empty and what if someone else sat there while she went to another table)

 

[gynecologist]

Syringe makes sense.. But knowing exactly where she'd sit?

I think she goes to the same place at the same time every week and sits at the same table. the problem is what happens if someone else is on that table one day. does walt kill someone by mistake? lol

 

[Cyyyyk]

I was wondering the same thing about the Stevia packet...... but she did always sit at the same table...... if someone else sat down he would have just had to go and grab the packet.

Walt got there early and took the ones that was there. Notice there was only one packet.

You did a better job than me of finding that old thread when I started this one a few years ago. Tried for like 2 hours to find the thread but couldn't.

I thought the ending sucked.

A remote-control machine gun shoots through the quarter panel of the car and the wall of a building and kills all the bad guys?

And, the lead bad guy interrupts his chance to kill Walt just because Walt called him a liar? And, just that one comment is enough to bring Jesse out of the lab where Walt can grab him and save him from Robo-Gun?

What makes great shows great is that they don't make you suspend your disbelief. Shows like The Wire and The Sopranos never had cartoon BS like this, which is why they are better.

BADFINGER
"Baby Blue"

OT . . for the younger ones ..
BADFINGER was once heralded as the next Beatles in the early 1970's.
With their first hit written by Paul McCartney and signed to Apple records . . they were going to be huge.


The story of Badfinger is among the most tragic in the history of rock'n'roll.
a series of tragedies, mismanagement and “rock and roll rip-offs” , their two principal songwriters committed suicide.
An exposé of the music business,

Without You: The Tragic Story of Badfinger . . a good read

I didn't think it sucked - but, I didn't think it was a great ending either. The first half or so was great - Gray Matter, the ricin, the meeting with Skylar... Didn't like the final bit though. The gun was cheesy (I felt similarly about the giant magnet in the truck) and I wanted to see a little more of a release from Jesse. It was good to see him strangle Todd, but it happened so quickly... That's all the retribution Jesse gets, after Andrea was killed, after Walt comes clean about Jane, and after being tortured and held prisoner? Just my opinion though - I can understand why people were happy with it.

Best part of the episode was Walt admitting he didn't do it for his family and in fact he was doing it for himself. He felt alive, he loved the thrills.

That was great.

Agree - really liked that whole scene.

The show has always been like that. It's never been realistic. Even the way plot lines evolved felt cartoony. The way they got rid of Gus and all that was extremely fake. If there was really someone like Gus in real life he'd have an army of guys looking after him.

Breaking Bad is a great show but it was more like McGyver selling meth with much better acting thanks to Cranston.

 

[celticGreen+]

It's funny how few bloopers Gus is in - Giancarlo Esposito seems very serious about his craft, and has sorta always been that way (I remember him in interviews back when "Do the right thing" came out). Considering how much screentime he had, he must have been really on point.
