Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC) (1 Viewer)

[Stan]

For those of us who have never seen a single episode, AMC is running the entire series from episode one starting August 10th thru October 5th with the finale.

Looks like it might be a bit of publicity, leading up to "The Walking Dead" returning in October.

That's how I watched it: TiVo'd the marathon last Fall. Recommended.

Over my head

It's from the episode when Danny Trejo's character gets his head cut off and put on top of a tortoise rigged with an explosive. That sentence sounds insane but it is what happened.

 

[TonyD]

Ok. I remember now.

 

[Tommy R]

Took me a second too, but yeah that's pretty good! At first I thought it was a "Turtle Neck", and wondered "what the heck has that got to do with Breaking Bad?" Then I remembered Danny Trejo...

Sure does look like something's coming, here:

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.

Very late to the party.

I started watching BrBa from the beginning starting December 16, 2021 and concluded my journey through its world with El Camino on January 11, 2022.

Somehow I managed to avoid all major spoilers about the show in the past 10+ years (I guess it helps to just not pay attention).

Obviously I can't say much that hasn't been said already. But I do want to mention that ultimately my two favorite characters were Jesse and Walter Jr.

Jesse I just had a lot of sympathy for all the loss he went through starting with Jane's death. And the couple episodes leading to the series finale felt like a slog for all the abuse that continued to get dumped on him ("beating a dead horse" was a phrase that kept coming to mind). So obviously some hopeful resolution through El Camino was welcomed.

Walter Jr. I loved for just how true and forthright a soul he was, from the very beginning when he told his dad that he was giving up and what if he had given up on him because of his disability. Over the five seasons you could just count on Flynn/Walt Jr. to call it like it is and stand up for what's right. Truly a glimmer of light in all the show's sometimes darkness. To me, Walter Jr. is the hero of the series.
