Interesting note from the Sepinwall review: I kind of hope that Gilligan is starting to formulate an ending of some sort (whether that's after four or more seasons). The quality is sky high for this show, and I really want them to end it with us wanting more rather than having the show overstay its welcome and running the premise too thin.

This is my biggest concern, I don't want this show to ever go downhill.
I really hope it all gets planned out and then finishes up on a predetermined schedule. 4-5 seasons would be ideal.

you are fucking insane. Her surgeon should be shot

Also, why is everyone hating on Skyler? I don't blame her. Walt was a selfish fuck and keeps trying to hide behind his cancer and his family.
If you fuck up, own up to it. He wants her to be grateful. He needs to take a long look in the mirror and come to terms with why he really did it and start seeing a shrink.

I dug the F*cked bit. That was pretty rad. How else would she say it.

The Cousins still havent grown on me. They are just cheeseball as hell. I hope they die quick.

it's been mentioned before from show staff that the show is only intended to be 4-5 seasons max. this season is supposed to be about walts world collapsing to a point of no return. i wouldnt be surprised if season 4 is the last. of course money can change that but lets hope not.


fucking skylar, i wonder if they're setting her up to be killed off. they made jane a bitch before taking her out and skylar is pretty unlikeable right now.

i know people are expecting walt to die in the end of the series but im starting to think they might kill of skylar and walt jr and leave walt alive to live the rest of his shattered life in agony. the baby will go to hank and his wife.

Another brilliant episode.

Jesse... ;_;

Skylar was awesome. WTF at you guys calling her a bitch. Walt was acting like a fucking crazy person. She doesn't know what kind of mess he has gotten himself embroiled with and what dangers that could mean for her family. I was rooting for her when she said that awesome as hell line to end the episode.

This is true. It kind of reminds me of The Shield and its fans rooting for Vic "the badass" and whining about his wife (aside from the mediocre acting), while i wanted Claudette to nail his ass to the wall every episode. Neither show is intending for us to root for them as "badass" anti-heroes. They are morally reprehensible and fascinating in their actions, which makes them extremely interesting to watch. This applies to Don Draper as well.

I realize that Walt turned into a bad guy, but that's because he was ignorant. What his mom did was with full comprehension of what the consequences were going to be. One thing is for sure is that Walt Jr. has crappy parents. I don't know, maybe in the end, Walt Jr. won't want to have anything to do with both of them.
Click to expand...

You can't exactly be ignorant about the consequences of being a meth cook. Ok, maybe he didn't expect things to turn out this badly but he had to know from the moment he killed that one guy early on, things were going south, and quickly.

Also, I always thought the show was putting the blame on Jesse for the plane crash. Walt is bearing the guilt because Jesse was his responsibility, but it was Jesse's fault for getting the girl screwed up. I mean, wasn't it Jesse's stash that she found? It's not like Walt made Jesse into a junkie. Jesse was already screwed up when they first went into business together. I guess technically the blame could be placed on four people for the crash, the father, the girl, Jesse, and Walt.

From what I remember, Walt found her in the throes of a drug related seizure, and "accelerated" her demise, and did nothing to stop it.

Just something I saw last episode...that axe. Were the cousins planning to bludgeon him to death because that axe was so blunt it wouldn't cut a shit in half.

This show was good as always, but I'm really ready for things to pick up. Enough home drama, silent sequences with the Cousins, and Jesse calling his dead gf's phone.

I'm sure Gilligan is just setting things up, but none of these episodes have had the sizzle of last season's. The I.F.T. part was great, though. Cold-blooded.

Next episode, I want to see 1) meth cooking hijinks, 2) the return of "Heisenberg" and 3) Hank back in El Paso. I'll be happy then.

Screw Walter. im glad Skylar is striking back at that bastard. Walter basically trapped her and hes playing his son against her. Hes despicable in almost every way culminating in him playing the "good guy" :lol Cannot wait for the moment when Hank finds out about his drug business.

Last season had the benefit of wrapping up an incomplete first season, so the season started off with crazy shit like the Tuco storyline. This season is plotted and paced more traditionally.

I hate when people say it needs to "pick up" though. I enjoy a quiet episode as much as I enjoy an action packed one, and really one doesn't work without the other. If you didn't have the character development leading up the climax moments in the show - it'd be a pretty shit payoff.

Hank reminds me of Vic Mackey. Both bald, big, and law enforcement officers. Only different is Vic is a crook, but Hank was pretty much like Vic when he started to go crazy and beat the living shit out of those guys. :lol

They should rename this show 'Breaking Bald', in just one episode you have Walt, Hank, the Twins, the biker in the bar, the cop at the beginning, Mike.. probably some more I'm forgetting

When the show is about Walt overcoming obstacles, and his main obstacle right now is Skylar, why are we supposed to be rooting for her?

I'm not saying that the show is too slow, or that it's still not good, but the first two seasons were filled with awesome stuff even outside of the Tuco parts.

Don't mind some downtime or character development, but the show's been on "simmer" for the first 3 eps of season 3-I'm ready for it to start boiling. I'm just waiting for the inevitable return of Walt to "the game."

Prediction about Walt this season:

Am I the only one who thinks that
the dude watching Walter is going to get killed in a case of mistaken identity?

This show is way too crazy to try and predict how a season will end. As far as the immediate future, I'm guessing
Jesse's stuff will be as good as Walts, however Jesse will still need Walt because he has no connection to Gus (he was too strung out to bother meeting him last season). This means that Gus won't need Walt as badly, however
- which could mean problems.

Also: I really want Walt to start banging the principal.

Never quite thought about that. That is definitely a possibility.

Absolutely pathetic part deux
Finally caught last night's episode. Last night's episode was when I really got the Coen Brothers vibe finally and while some parts of the episode came off as pasty and didn't mesh well as an episode, I think the sum of them was supposed to be a set-up for things to come. I don't think Walt is going to divorce Skylar just yet but maybe use this as an outlet to cook more meth while Skylar continues to dive into her affair. I think this season will be about the destruction of his own family and with the series ending with Walt being alive and all of his family dead.

Great episode.

LOL at the people criticizing Skyler. All she did was fuck Ted. Infidelity pales in comparison to all of the things that Walt has done. The very fact that Walt's not a good guy is why the show is so great.

I love this show.
There are no morally "good" characters (the title is "Breaking Bad" afterall) so not only is it fresh, but it's also really hard to predict.

It definitely has a "No Country for Old Men" vibe to it, in theme, setting, and cinematography. Hell, those 2 cousins are like Chigurh-lite.

No clue what's going to happen, but I kinda hope that Walt Jr. survives all this. Poor kid's parents are lunatics.

Walter did it to help his family after he was gone.

Skyler did it because she was mad.

This entire episode was about control, losing it and regaining it.

Walter used passive aggressive assholery to weasel his way back into the house, and ultimately retake control.

Skyler used aggressive aggressive sinnery to make Walter's return to the house the most miserable experience ever... and ultimately make him realize he had no control at all.

He did control it. He's back home with his family.

Skyler couldn't control it. And slept with another man.
