Television Breaking Bad

Well it did go down an absolute storm.

With a few of the main cast dead and Walt still alive, wondering what it was all for.


Yeah, a Shield-type ending and maybe a Walt suicide might be a good way to bow out. Bit depressing but that's something the writers for this show would absolutely nail.

Yeah I was thinking a Shield type ending would be fitting for it.

Did Walt almost kill himself in the first episode standing in his pants? I can 't remember if he put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger and it jammed or if he just thought about it for a second.

Yep, was gonna kill himself. Was in way too deep and the police were after him.

Luckily, the gun wasn't loaded.
 
Don't worry, it's shit anyway.

I've seen it, I was thinking about those who haven't.

It's not shit, and it's a bit of a shame to spoil the ending which is really well executed imo. It's not a huge spoiler in the sense that they don't say exactly what happens, but those posts give a strong indication on how it ends.
 
I reckon Walter Junior will become a meth-head and the guilt will cause Skyler to kill herself. Hank will go rogue and hunt Walt down Bruce Willis style, machine guns, explosions and a car chase; final showdown in the desert where Walt blows Hank's head off and then just walks off into the sunset, laughing like a maniac. A scorpion stings him on his bare foot though and he dies a slow, painful death, alone and hated by the world. Jesse becomes a priest.

And what about Huell?
 
Yeah but it was quoting KingEric who was agreeing with someone else giving an indication to how BB should end.

Well anyway, doesn't matter, the cnuts should've just watched The Shield before!


:lol: Sure someone could do a photoshop of when Huell is lying down on the money but in a sun lounger on a beach in Belize!
 
Just a quick point regarding Hank and his predicament: If Hank brings Walt in, the DEA will probably make Hank the scapegoat in all of this as he never realised that Heisenberg was in fact in brother-in-law all along. However, if Hank procrastinates and some other DEA official uncovers the truth about Heisenberg, then they'll suspect that Hank was in on it. That's the reason why Hank was so eager to quiz Jesse in the last episode. I get the feeling that Hank wants to bring Walt in regardless of how it'll affect his own position. Not a good situation for him to be in, though.
 
I was a bit indifferent to the latest episode - some parts of it felt a little too much like a soap opera for my liking. And they kind of just shrugged off Walt's threat to Hank at the end of the first episode.

I do like that they're re-humanising Walt a little (at least temporarily), with his refusal to kill Hank and his offer to Skylar to give himself up.

Good points. I'd add that if Hank really doesn't know who Walt is then he should tread carefully.

Yeah, exactly!

Nah, spoilered it just in case so you can remove that quote if you want. :D It doesn't give away anything exactly but I suppose it spoils the nature of the ending.

The Shield:

Mind you, my impression of that last scene of The Shield was that Mackey was about to commit suicide come to think of it.

I'm still half wondering whether that stuff for Skyler was an act to get her on his side. Probably not, but they already showed how skiller and natural a liar he's become in the previous episode when he was talking to Jesse about Mike.

We saw that over the ricin as well.
 
I'm still not too convinced about the story that the cancer's come back. Could be a way to manipulate Hank and/or Skylar. We also saw Walt arrive at his house in the very first part of the ninth episode, with hair, beard and all - he looked exactly like he did on his 52nd birthday (seen in one of the latter episodes in the first part of Season 5). Or am I getting some things mixed up?

Hank will obviously make a deal with Jesse to confess about Heisenberg but will get fecked over by him and Walt, IMO.

My impression was that
It's impossible to contain a beast like Mackie, this desk job isn't got cut it for him and that he was going back on the streets. The way he betrayed Johnny makes you think that it's him above everything and everyone else.

It's a lot more likely to be something like that to be fair given that they were thinking of making a film. :D

It's back. He was getting chemo when Saul phone him about Jessie.

Vince Gilligan also said it was back on Talking Bad.

I don't know about you but when I finished watching The Shield I had a weird feeling, I'm struggling to find the exact words but the way the strike team was united and the way it all finished ...
 
Haven't read this thread yet as I'm only up to S05E05, but this show is amazing. I don't know why I ever stopped watching it.

Christ on a fecking bike, that train heist was intense![/spoiler

I was genuinely exhausted after the finale. Think it's the best ending of any show I've ever seen, and that level of...whatever feeling it was (you're right- very difficult to describe)...was right up there with anything Breaking Bad has had to offer. It was absolutely shocking how it ended up with the strike team - it just flew in the face of absolutely everything that came before it and shattered everything from its foundations.
 
I spent most of The Shield actively cheering for whoever was trying the hardest to bring down Mackey and the Strike Team at the moment.

The same with The Sopranos.


Really? I still haven't seen the final season of The Shield, but I liked Mackey and the strike team. Lem was a good egg.
 
Lem was good. Ronnie was usually okay. All four of them together were damn near evil.

You should watch the final season. The finale in particular is all kinds of great. Many tv series can learn a lot from that.
 
Finally got to watch both the episodes last night. Have to say, the part where he comes out from his house and his neighbour sees Walt, that was sinister.

I think it does means that his family is dead

Also, the part of Jesse has been overblown IMO. Why would he go around throwing away bricks of money, and then get rounded up by the police?
 
Samuel L. Jackson is going to be on that Talking Bad thing (along with Bob Odenkirk)
