I realize I'm joining into this conversation way too late, but I just started watching Breaking Bad a little over a week ago and already finished all four seasons! I'm suffering from withdrawal now that it's done and I knew I can find a good conversion on BB, here. I enjoyed the entire thread and agree with what many of you have said about BB. It's already my second favorite show EVER!! Can't wait for season five.
"Fly" definitely was the lone speed bump in an otherwise masterpiece of a show. BB has surpassed "The Sopranos" in my all-time list because of that. One bad show isn't too bad over four seasons. The Sopranos had quite a few stinkers, but it is still #3 on my list after Lost, and BB. Shameless and Entourage round out my top 5.
Overreacted? They're dealing with a highly volatile situation. Can't say I blame them. I think they're reactions were just right.
As far as Jessie using the word "B word" a lot, I kind of liked it. It was his catch phrase and he used it well. I feel the same way about his use of the word "yo".
To each his own, I guess. BB was awesome, IMO. What is there not to like? Great acting, great characters and great plot. What more can you ask for?
I hate Skylar, too. She's annoying. Jessie is one of may favorite characters in any TV show. One hell of an actor. I find myself pulling for him. I just hope he and Walt can remain partners and really good friends.
Hector's facial expressions were priceless!
I was sad to see Gus go, as well. Great character.
It seemed like a series finale, but they can go in a ton of directions. IMO, things will come to head between Walt and Hank.
He started down this path when he thought he would be dead in a month or two and now that he's broke again and still very likely to die from cancer, we should expect more evil doings from Walt to add to your list.
You can add to me that list, as well.
I need a little bit of help with the timeline. Maybe one of you guys can help me out. In the flashbacks or flash-forwards there is a scene with the Teddy Bear in the pool, the eye of the teddy floating in the water and two body bags in front of Walt's home. Now if I remember correctly, the eye of the Teddy Bear was found in Walt's house by Skylar (I believe) in season 4 after the plane crash already happened and if what some of you has said about season 4's finale being what should have been the series finale than the scene with the body bags already happened, correct? Were those body bags for the body parts from the plane crash or has that scene even happened yet? I'm confused.
