Breaking Bad Discussion (Spoilers)

I've always wanted to be a scallywag.
 
Yea, scallywags are ok. I've been called worse.

It was "different" in that it didn't rely on huge revelations or leave you for a loss when you, at the end, a main character hangs between life and death. You know, like every show has been guilty of. CSI does it, Lost does it, etc. In fact, by the end of season 2 you know that none of the main characters are beneath those white tarps -- the corpses on the drive way were from the plane. It was "different" because it was figurative, I didn't mean "different" in a bad way, you scallywag.

Season 3 picks up the pace and is, I think, more enjoyable than season 2. Over at IGN, they beg to differ, though.
 
Season 3 is an example of how "making things up as you go along" is not always a bad thing.
 
I used to be a beat cop a long time ago. And I'd get called out on domestic disputes all the time, hundreds probably over the years. But there was this one guy, this one piece of **** that I will never forget. Gordy, he looked like Bo Svenson, you remember him? 'Walking Tall', you don't remember? Anyway, big boy, 270-280, but his wife—whatever, she was his lady—was real small, like a bird. Wrists like little branches. Anyway, my partner and I get called out there every weekend and one of us would pull her aside and say 'come on, tonight's the night we press charges.' And this wasn't one of those deep-down 'he really loves me' setups. We get a lot of those but not this. This girl was scared. She wasn't gonna cross him, no way no how. Nothing we could do but pass her off to the EMTs, put him in a car, drive him downtown, throw him in the drunk tank. He sleeps it off, next morning off he goes back home. And one night, my partner's out sick and it's just me, and a call comes in and its the usual crap—broke her nose in the shower kinda thing. So I cuff him, put him in the car and away we go. Only that night, we're driving into town and this sideways ******* is in my backseat humming 'Danny Boy' and it just rubbed me wrong. So instead of left, I go right out into nowhere. And I kneel him down and I put my revolver in his mouth and I told him, 'This is it, this is how it ends'. And he's crying, going to the bathroom all over himself, swearin' to God he's gonna leave her alone, screamin' as much as you can with a gun in your mouth. And I told him to be quiet, that I need to think about what I'm gonna do here. And of course he got quiet. Goes still and then real quiet, like a dog waitin' for dinner scraps. Then we just stood there for awhile—me actin' like I'm thinkin' things over & Price Charming kneeling with **** in his pants. And after a few minutes, I took the gun out of his mouth and I say 'so help me if you ever touch her again I will such and such & such and such and blah blah blah blah blah.' Of course, just trying to do the right thing. And two weeks later, he killed her. Of course. Caved her head in with the base of a wearing blender. We got there, there was so much blood you could taste the metal. Moral of the story is, I chose a half measure when I shoulda gone all the way. I'll never make that mistake again. No more half measures, Walter.

I think Breaking Bad is already my second favourite TV show ever.

Last few episode have been amazing. This season is going to end with so strongly. Oh, yea... It's been announced that the fifth season will be this show's last.
 
I can't see Walt, Jesse, Gus and Hank all lasting the season. One of them has to die.
 
It seems so odd that any of those guys are still alive. That being said, the show will be a much different one without any of them. At the very least, I think Walt and Jesse are safe. Although, who knows. Gus is playing such a smart game with both Jesse and Walt being the pawns. I'm sure that fight between them was exactly what he was looking for.
 
Jesus Christ.

This show is ****ing AMAZING.

My Twitter timeline went nuts last night.

I might have to move this up the "to watch" queue.

The next two episodes are called "End Times" and "Face Off." Who wins? Who loses? Who lives to cook meth another day?!

I'm sure that I am way off, but I think one of the ways that Walt could get the upper hand is to tell Hank, not necessarily that he's involved, but that he's right about Gus. I don't know, something to make his connection with Hank more of a threat to Gus.
