The ones where they play a song over somebody cooking meth/investigating etc. I agree that they've lost their charm somewhat, there seems to be one in every episode now. The one with Hank investigating was especially needless.
Oh ok.
I can't stand the day to night transistions they do outside Walt's house with the music that sounds like a light aircraft flying overhead. they seem out of place and needless.
I am not sure how any fan of the show was bored during this weeks episode
Walt HAS to come out of this on top. Ideal scenario.....Saul Survives, Huell Becomes mayor of Albuquerque and then president of the USA, Hank Walt Jr Marie and Jesse all die at walts hand and Walt Skyker and little Holly ride off into the sunset. Todd blows up the lab killing himself and Lydia.
I want to be Hank when I grow up.

That little moment of tension between Jesse and Huell when he was waiting at Saul's was great. Showed they haven't forgotten about the whole ricen cigarette thing.
Anyone else notice that Skyler wasn't wearing her wedding ring in last night's episode? (The directors definitely wanted the audience to notice this as Walt and herself held hands - left hands - and Walt's wedding ring was visible whereas Skyler's wasn't wearing hers. It was in the bathroom scene after Walt collapsed)
Add in the fact that Walt wasn't wearing his wedding ring in the flash-forward scene of S5E09, there is something fishy going on...

Also, this shot
reminded me of the scene in 'Crawl Space' when Walt was laughing hysterically and the camera panned out.
The camerawork in this show is very good I have to say. Despite them over-cooking (pardon the pun) the montage scenes and the POV scenes, which we seem to get every ten minutes now.

So, casually flicking through Breaking Bad videos on Youtube, I come across this one. Did any of you come across this second time around? (Obviously you wouldn't have noticed it first time around as we didn't know Gus' fate then.)
Very cool. This attention to detail brings BB away from the pack of good television shows up towards the very best.
(Spoilered for those who may not have reached this part of the series yet.)

It could just be because I was really tired while watching it, and that it ended kind of suddenly and you felt like there was still another 10 minutes or so left. I just felt underwhelmed, especially compared to the last few (I watched the entire series in the last few weeks, right before last weeks episode).
I preferred the latest episode (ep.10) to episode 9. Episode 9 had probably one of the best endings I have seen on this show but this episode really set things up very interestingly. Also points to the fact that Jesse will probably feature more for the last 6 episodes. Dean Norris' acting abilities are superb also 
I really hate a lot of them. Every time someone digs something we get a shot of them scraping some dirt off a bit of glass. It looks shit, stop it!
I've always been on team Jesse, he's always deserved the most redemption on the show and probably been the only character to really grow into a better person as a result of all the bad things that have happened, the problem is they're making him an annoying moany fecker this season so far so I may end up being swayed.
Agreed, he's one of the few characters on the show that I actually like. Him and Hank really. Marie is pretty annoying, and Walter is a massive cnut. Don't even get me started on Skylar, even though she's been doing better things lately, she still does my head in. They fit their characters well though and it's no slight on the show at all.
Quite. How can you be bored by everything coming to a head after 5 seasons?
Yeah that one was decent enough. The worst ever was the one from a shovel Jesse was carrying.
Jesse has always been a whiny bitch. Cant wait for Heisenberg to put a bullet in him.
Or Huell.
That's nice. The journalist doesn't know what a title character is though.
It's not a stencil either. But apparently he's "Manchester's answer to Banksy." An artist who's worked almost exclusively in stencils.
Are we supposed to be laughing at the material? Or the fact he's an implausibly shaped human who finds it hard to speak?
Cos I'll be honest, I was struggling with the material.

I didn't even watch it. I just didn't realize he was a stand-up comedian, and was again surprised by his unfathomable shape.
It's interesting all the stand ups/comedians they've cast all work together in the show.
I'm not sure how it's interesting. But it's a bit interesting.

Its interesting that there doesn't seem to be any ego between them all.

Jesse's character took a while to grow on me because of his constant whinging but despite this he has developed superbly, he has a heart of gold and is brilliant with kids. Maybe when he finds out about Mike he will forge an unlikely dalliance with Skylar (bonding with Holly) to get his ultimate revenge on Walt, hence the flash-forward of Walt minus his wedding ring?????
I'm not sure about this Jesse "heart of gold" stuff, I mean he's got some morals which is more than most on the show but with or without Walt he'd still have continued down the path of destruction he was on, he'd have just probably have ended up in jail or dead much earlier without Walt's guidance. More than once he tried to start cooking again without Walt's help, not too mention in 2nd episode its him who brings up the fact they have to kill Crazy 8, and he didn't seem to have many problems with the Cartel being murdered. Problems killing people when the situation doesn't require it perhaps, but the choices he repeatedly makes still lead to these situations. I mean his whole involvement with Brock i'm pretty sure if I rememeber rightly comes through trying to peddle his meths to addicts at a rehab meeting.
He certainly gets more likeable as the show goes on but he's not the innocent a lot of people seem to be making him out to be. Walt's involvement just took him on the express route to the state he was going to end up in anyway,

Very cool idea, the character has been very well developed over time and the guy who plays him has done a superb job, but I've always had a liking for result obsessed phsycos how take no prisoners, maybe because they relate to my suppressed inner dictator
Well maybe "heart of gold" was a tad sentimental perhaps saying that he has developed a conscience would be a better way of putting it....its the reason he uses drugs, to kill the inner pain. Paradoxically Walt's character has changed from being a mild mannered nerd to a full blown psychopathic sociopath.
And at the same time there was a good sprinkling of old Walt in that episode to make you remember how it all started and what he's being doing these things for.
He's still a cnut, but I think they may reign him in a bit in the next couple of episodes before he goes loco in the last few.
I watched a couple of season 3 episodes earlier, and I think the turning point for Jesse was killing Gayle.
Great episode again but I have to agree....Jesse's character now is becoming a bit annoying. They are just overplaying it IMO.
