    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    Doing a low key rewatch of the series. I'm only on S01E04, but maybe I'll step it up if there's a payoff coming down the pike.

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    The Netflix strategy of dumping the entire season's worth of original programming is probably the right call, but it does destabilize the weekly net discussion that network and cable programming enjoys. Had Orange is the New Black been on, say, Showtime, the topic would have had way more...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    One thing about TV that's wholly unlike movies is that movies are meticulously planned. Many TV shows have no real path mapped out. I have read that the ST:TNG guys would write themselves into a corner for the season ending cliffhanger and then spend the off-season trying to figure out a...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    Aaron Paul said that the writers told him of a potential epilogue after the credits where you see Jesse's feet step off of a bus, and it pulls away to reveal a sign that says, "Welcome to Alaska". Paul isn't sure how far that idea got, but it obviously never made it to the script. But in his...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    I haven't gone through this entire thread, but I'm sure most have seen the MythBusters episode dedicated to Breaking Bad. Wherein they busted both the hydroflouric acid dissolving the bathtub as well as the results of the exploding mercury fulminate in Tuco's lair. So the ricin follows on those...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    The one thing about the coffee shop scene is that they shifted Lydia from her usual widow seat to round table in the middle of the floor (presumably because they needed Walt to pull up a chair, which would be difficult to shoot if the table was against the window). But yeah, just accept that...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    I think Gilligan acquitted himself ably on the Kobayashi Maru scenario that is the series finale of a beloved show. Maybe it all went down too easily and tied up too many bows, but for grieving fans, this was the closure we needed. A tip of the hat for having Skinny Pete and Badger come back...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    I have not qualms about tablet screens because you can hold them close enough for the perceived size to equal that of a large HDTV. My one quibble with the iPad over an Android tablet is the severe letterboxing. However, I recently watched a bunch of BrBa episodes on my tablet with a bluetooth...

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    I took as the batch he gave Lydia was 92%, but the newest batch Jesse cooked up was 96%, which was the cause for an ice cream celebration. I don't think Todd would cut Lydia's product. If anything, he wants to impress the shit out of her, so he's looking at the 96% as a ticket to Lydia's pants.

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    I watched 58 episodes in a marathon over a three week span. It can be done. Once you get past the first season, you're either hooked or done.

    Last year they pixelated Mike's "Fuck You" note to the stake out cops.

    Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC)

    Isn't all of this evidence the fruit of the poisoned tree? At least from what I gleaned from Law & Order. How are they going to make any of this stick? I don't suppose that really matters judging by the flash forward that opened the season. Hank is quite the cameraphone auteur.

    It would totally suck if they didn't!
