Breaking Bad

So do I. Two weeks ago wasn't the season finale was it?

 

My dh said it is good. I know I have seen the first 2 episodes and couldn't tell you anything about it. I mostly was reading when dh was watching. we Dvr everything and watch it at different times.

 

Oh gosh, I don't know. Was it? I know it wasn't on last week and I was wondering why. Short season!

 

DH thinks the season finale tonight. Last weekend was labour day. Some dhows where not on because of it.

 

I looked it up. Tonight is part 1 of a two part finale.

 

I hate to miss the season premier of boardwalk empire tonight, but I can't miss BrBa

 

OMG tonights episode was INSANE!!!! Seriously I was yelling at the TV.

Sundays are crazy for me I have Dexter, Boardwalk, Breaking Bad and Newsroom. I save Dexter and Newsroom and watch that Tuesdays when ALlison has dance.

 

I chewed off all my fingernails and then chewed on the corner of a decorative pillow and then I threw it at the TV.

OMG.

Predictions?

 

Man, I could see it coming and started screaming at the tv before it got real. Ugh. I can't imagine what is going to happen next week.

 

Ugh I have a feeling Hank is going to die. I hated Jesse and Hank working together, but I didn't want any of them to die.

 

I have the same feeling about Hank
Gomez dying would be too obvious.
Given the fact that Hank and Marie had a lingering conversation about Walt's arrest and it was very emotional for them, I kind of think Hank doesn't make it. Plus, we would see Walt feeling like a failure because he tried to stop the hit (which was intended for Jesse) only to have Hank die anyway. The house of cards has to start falling for Walt. We need to catch up to the flash forwards, so stuff needs to happen.
My husband said that all of them went to the StormTrooper/A-Team school of shooting. All of those bullets and no one was hit (yet)?

We normally watch Boardwalk Empire too, and that's going to have to be a Monday show until Breaking Bad ends.

 

That is what Devon said He said all those guys are really bad shooters

I think Gomez will die, Hank will be injured but will still be alive. I think that Walt will cook for the Meth guys as long as they promise not to hurt Hank. I also think that Jesse will not be injured. I think that he will also help Walt cook for the Meth guys because those dudes are not messing around.

I think that Marie will go to Skylar and flip the "F" out when Hank does not come home and possibly do something to the family.

 

OMG can anyone believe last weeks episode!!!

 

I think I'm still recovering from it, honestly. We had to pause it at the first commercial break because it was just too intense. Flat out amazing, amazing, amazing though. I know these last two are going to be a roller coaster ride. 
 
Hank dying just about killed me, but his last line...wow.
 
There's a great interview with the episode's director (I think he also directed 'Fly') and he talks about how Holly saying "mama" was completely unscripted. Her mother was standing just off screen behind Bryan Cranston and started saying "mama, mama" over and over again. Cranston just made it work. I was pretty amazed by that. 

Ugh. Two more, y'all. 

 

Hi everyone!  I haven't been on TS in forever but saw on FB that Stephanie had done some updates so I thought I would check it out.  I'm a BB crazy fan.  I'm also still recovering from Sunday, looking forward to this coming Sunday and grieving that it will all be over with the following Sunday!! OMG!
 
I'm sure you're all on FB fan pages.  I think I've read everyone of the 3000 comments left there.  And NO I didn't not leave a comment there about WW ending up in Malcolm in the Middle LOL!  

 

Gini, I did not know that about the baby Holly.  Good for Cranston for making that work and Baby Holly has good timing!
 
I was sad about Hank dying but I figured that was going to happen.  He was too big of a loose end.  I thought it was a little unbelievable that they would agree to leave Jesse alive, but I guess he and Walt need to have their moment of reckoning.
 
That fight between Skyler, Walt Jr., and Walt was well done.  I was rooting for Walt Jr. to stab Walt.
 
And the conversation between Walt and Skyler on the phone, if there is anything redeemable about Walt, it is that he does love his family.  Him saying Skyler knows nothing, putting all the heat on him and crying as he is saying the awful things about her.  It was well done.  
 
Steph's Boys, welcome back!

 

The entire cast deserves so many acting nominations. There are no other contenders and I watch some good shows. I man honestly that show alone deserves it all! I really do not know how they can top it.

 

Love, love, love BB and the latest episode was freaking awesome... definitely intense!  They keep surprising me!  I can't wait to see what happens but, at the same time, I don't want it to end!!!

 

Why did that post as a quote?

 

Last week was so intense it was hard to watch and I was so amped up after. I knew some of those things had to happen, but I was just hoping that somehow it would be a happy ending. It's a dark show, so no idea why I was hoping for that but I was.
 
I wonder who Walt is going after with the ricin.

 

I am wondering if it's Todd or his Uncle Jack.
 
Chrissy, I agree, the acting and writing on this show is second to none.  I usually complain about repeat winners at the Emmys but I can't for Breaking Bad.  If they take them all home this year and next year, it's well deserved.

 

I wonder what is going to happen with Jesse, is he going to end up driving away with all of the money?

 

Looking forward to tonight's episode. I have to say as intense as last week's was, I can't imagine what will happen!
 
Last week's episode was the first time I ever had any emotion towards Skyler besides hate and annoyance. I actually felt sorry for her.

 

Kim, I kind of felt that way about Skylar, too. Especially when he took off with Holly. 
 
I saw a clip of Aaron Paul's interview with Jimmy Kimmel and he said these last two episodes are just as intense. If not more. Gah! 
 
Also, if anyone is interested, the entire cast plus Vince Gilligan is going to be on Conan tomorrow night.  

 

This weeks episode was slow until they out Jesse in the truck. Man I. Wish they would just shoot him at this point. I just do not see a happy outcome for him. I mean even if he kills everyone of those guys how can he live a happy life.

I hate that I still feel sorry for Walt, I mean when he offered to pay that guy $10000 to stay w him for 2 hrs. Ugh why do I feel bad for him. So I really thought he was going to stay in that bar, What is going to happen... One episode left and I have no idea where it is going.

 

I know. I felt bad for him too, especially during the interview with Gretchen and Elliot. I was glad to see them briefly though...they're the driving force behind all that is Walt, so I'm wondering how they'll tie it all up. 
 
Jesse. Sigh. Someone said somewhere else that he's "paying for his sins like Walt." But, I don't see it that way. I feel like he's facing the consequences of knowing Walt. I can't think of a single thing that he did wrong, other than kill Gail, but even that he did because of Walt. I was really hoping he'd get away, but it seems like he's got no chance at happiness. 
 
And no. I have NO clue how it's going to end. None. 

 

I was saying to my DH last night that I cannot even begin to guess how this show will end.
 
I don't feel sorry for Walt.  He's bearing the brunt of his choices.  I have to give a ton of credit to RJ Mitte (Walt Jr./Flynn) for his excellent acting in the last two episodes.  That conversation with Walt over the phone sent chills up my spine.  He does not want blood money.  
I wondering what Walt has planned.  He really is a wild card.  He knows he has a death sentence with the cancer back and I feel the chemo he's getting is pallative at this point, so really whatever he has up his sleeve, I am sure he feels like he's going to die either way.  I just wonder if the choices he makes-makes things better or worse for those who will survive him.  I liked the little follow up to Grey Matter and also seeing Robert Forester on my TV again.
 
I do feel sorry for Jesse, I feel like he's paid for his sins.  I feel like Jesse has a conscience and he realizes what he did wrong where as Walt. well he doesn't-he kind feels like he has a justification for everything he's done. And Jesse has been manipulated by Walt and Gus.  At this point, Jesse has nothing left but to keep cooking to keep Brock alive (which I hope someone has taken Brock and moved him far, far away).
 
Also congratulations to Breaking Bad for winning it's first Outstanding Drama Emmy last night and Anna Gunn for winning Supporting Actress.  Well deserved on both accounts!

 

Now I think Walt is getting the ricin to poison Gretchen and Elliott...or maybe even Skylar.
 
I'm really not enjoying these last few episodes. They're just so depressing. I know it's a dark show, but I really didn't want everyone to wind up in a bad place or dead.

 

I do feel badly for Walt. Thinking of where and why he started this whole thing, I honestly don't believe he ever envisioned himself becoming some sort of drug kingpin, destroying people in the process. I really believe his motivation was purely to preserve and protect his family. The reality is he has destroyed his entire family and himself along with countless others when the greed and power took over. He's lost everything and everyone he held dear and he has no one to blame but himself. That is an awful spot to be in no matter if it's deserved or not.
 
Jesse, poor Jesse. I really hoped he was going to escape.I want so badly for him to be able to have a life but the writing on the wall does not look so good for him.
 
I was terrified for Skyler when they broke into the baby's room. And Marie looks so beaten down. She knows in her heart that Hank is dead.
 
Walt Jr. was fierce last night and last week. Definitely some good acting chops there.
 
With only one episode to go I can't fathom how this is going to wrap up.

 

See I do not see how Jesse can go on.  Everything and everyone he has loved is dead.  He cannot just go in and take that little boy and live a happy life.  THat little boy is going to wake up to find his mother dead and go on to live with other relatives.  So relistically Jesse cannot just ride into the sunset and be his dad.  He will forever live with knowing everything he touches turns to $hit.
 
Walt...  man he just became impowered by the money.  It was never enough.  It still is not enough.  The money in that barrell is not enough and he thinks he can go and get the rest.
 
 
Interesting what is going on with Saul.  He is having a spinoff show so I wonder if that is going to take place in Nebraska.

 

Chrissy, the Saul Goodman show is being discussed as prequal, what his life was like before he met Walt.  Though I think it would be interesting to follow Saul's adventures in Nebraska.

 

Anyone watching any of the BrBa marathon on AMC? I am watching a bit and it is so interesting to see where the characters were at in the beginning versus now.

Also, if anyone has access to Rolling Stone there is a great interview with the cast called Last Words on Breaking Bad. Very interesting to read their takes on Walt, especially. Tried to find it online but think you have to have a subscription to read.

 

Is the interview in the Michael J Fox issue or the Miley Cyrus one?  I am catching up on my magazines, I just got the Michael J Fox cover in the mail yesterday.  I can't wait to read the BrBa interview.
 
For those of us who are curious what Vince Gilligan will be doing next besides the Saul Goodman spinoff, CBS just greenlighted a detective show of his.  I'm not sure if he will have the level of involvement in that show as he does with Breaking Bad.

 

Michael J. Fox (Sept 26, 2013)

 

I'm kinda bummed that tonight is the last episode. I hope there is at least one positive ending for someone on the show.
