I got my S1 and 2 Blu-rays in the mail today, watching 2 right now...

 

[Cornballer]

ABQ on now. Jesse trying to revive Jane, followed by him talking to Walt while he's carrying the baby around.

 

[xbhaskarx]

I'm watching this again and I'm really going to miss Badger in Season 3. That dude is freaking hilarious.
I understand why a great character like Tuco had to die, but I really wish they had killed off one of Jesse's other meth buddies instead of Badger.

did he die? i cant even remember.. been a while

i just remember the fat mexican dude dying and what a brilliant scene that was.. like something out of The Wire

 

[CygnusXS]

Wasn't Badger just laying low out in California? I remember Jesse saying something to the like.

yes it was combo that got killed.

 

[Washed_Out]

Correct. I doubt he'll come back though.

 

[xbhaskarx]

I thought Badger was the one who got shot by the kid on the bike while selling meth.

It's been ages though so I barely remember, and I'm only on episode 4 in my re-watch marathon...

If he's alive I hope they bring him back, great actor and character.

 

[Freyjadour]

Can't wait.

that was combo

 

[Salsa]

THE WAIT

just 2 more daaaaaays

 

[xbhaskarx]

that was combo

Ah, I see, my mistake...

I just want to say the episode where Walt and Jesse are stuck in the old guy's house where he only communicated in dings, and then Hank comes to save the day without him knowing about the others is the best episode in the series.

It was one of the ones they showed yesterday.

extremely tense stuff.

tuco is such a great character actor. he's all over the place:

• x-files
• the closer
• nip/tuck
• 24
• star trek deep space nine

he was even in GREMLINS 2!

 

[xbhaskarx]

What do the rest of you folks consider to be the best BB episode from either season?

For me, Negro y Azul and Better Call Saul (7 and 8) are the top two.
I think they have the two best openings, the Spanish music video and the undercover cop busting Badger. I also think the Tortuga scene from 7 is pretty much the most awesome death and most unexpected bomb explosion in any television show.
6 and 9 are not bad either, so basically disc 2 is amazing.

This comment wasn't there when I started writing. :lol

 

[beelzebozo]

i'm not sure. the whole journey of the characters sort of blends into this incredibly good, sometimes hard to stomach melange of excellent television. i don't remember individual episodes so much as individual moments with the characters. i will say that jesse's breakdown at the end of season 2 really had a big impact on me, and i realized how attached i'd become to him.

 

[gdt]

Yep.

With slower serialized dramas, it's harder for me to pick out certain episodes, rather than certain moments.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Yeah yeah, whatever. Negro y Azul and Better Call Saul are still the two best episodes.

 

[beelzebozo]

the sash is the best part of the mona lisa.

 

[xbhaskarx]

the sash is the best part of the mona lisa.

Dude you just wrote "i don't remember individual episodes so much as individual moments"... so scenes, which are parts of episodes and together make up entire episodes.

So basically to continue using your analogy, there's something wrong with saying the best part of the Mona Lisa is the sash, but it's okay to say the best part of the Mona Lisa is one specific fold of material in the sash.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Jesse has so many hilarious lines in episode 9.
Dune buggy, robot, wire... lol

 

[beelzebozo]

love that fold.

 

[xbhaskarx]

love that fold.

You better not make chubby dating site ads appear in the BB thread!

 

[gdt]

Just rewatched S2E1, awesome.

Tuco (and his effect on Walt/Jesse) is sooooo good.

 

[xbhaskarx]

I have noticed 3-4 instances of foreshadowing on the re-watch so far...

Jesse: You weren't supposed to wake up.
Girlfriend: Ever?

 

[Grimm Fandango]

I just blazed through season 2 in like 4 days (all episodes on demand=win). Show is definitely stretching its legs out now and I like it.

Bob Odenkirk once again outshines everyone else. He plays his character perfectly.

 

[xbhaskarx]

I just saw this pic, f'ing amazing :lol

That's the Obama "Weatherproof" ad in Times Square...

 

[gdt]

That's a great ad.

I defintely won't be ready by tomorrow night (finished S2E3 earlier) but I'll be good for next week. Definitely.

 

[Cornballer]

Haha, that's rad.

 

[Lafiel]

Can't wait for this, surprised it's airing so soon. I didn't expect to watch season 3 for months, when i finished the second season a few weeks back.

 

[Cornballer]

Aint it Cool preview of Breaking Bad including a few spoilers.

 

[vatstep]

What do the rest of you folks consider to be the best BB episode from either season?

If I had to pick one, it'd be "4 Days Out" from S2, where Walter and Jesse are stranded in the desert. That's just from memory, though... I should really watch S1 again, since I haven't seen it since it first aired.

 

[Ashhong]

well while you have been waiting only "a few weeks", the rest of us have been waiting about 10 months, since season 2 ended on May 31. so....yea :lol

 

[backflip10019]

Tonight!

 

[Mkliner]

Is there anyway to watch this online? Apparently my dorm doesn't get amc.

 

[Burli]

I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it.

 

[daw840]

Watched the pilot episode last night. I am so fucking pumped. That may be one of the best pilot episodes ever in TV.

 

[Washed_Out]

I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night
that tonight’s gonna be a good night
that tonight’s gonna be a good good night

Tonight is the night.

 

[Costanza]

Got another 5 episodes to watch by tonight, hope I can do this...

 

[Tater Tot]

TONIGHT!

 

[bucklam66]

Man, can't wait for this new season, haven't had much on tv to watch, except 30 Rock and Caprica.

 

[Cornballer]

On tonight!

No Mas

Spoiler

Walt deals with the aftermath of the plane crash and Skyler's anger as Jesse comes to a new realization about himself. A new threat to Walt appears. Skyler considers her next move.

 

[Costanza]

OMFG @ the end of Mandala.

2 episodes left!

[vatstep]

I know an astounding amount of people that have started watching the show within the last month or two. That's obviously a good sign, and hopefully more people will be watching S3 — until recently, I only knew a handful of people that had even heard of the show. Sacrilege.

Yeah. I'm wondering how big the ratings jump will be. Here are the previous two season openers, FYI:

The pilot episode was watched by 1.4 million people, while the subsequent six episodes of the first season were watched by 1.1-1.3 million viewers each.
The second season opener was watched by 1.7 million people, up 21% from the previous season.

AMC's advertising has been everywhere and it's been great, as usual. These guys knows their shit. The stuff they do with their marketing makes me want to get in the business myself.

 

[Ashhong]

its because its on AMC...before BB and Mad Men, when i thought of AMC i thought of old ass movies. not amazing television

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Even the movies they're getting are amazing. They're forming a distinct identity. You can easily think of the type of film that'll be on AMC. USA has the same deal with their TV shows, but they've recently lost it with their movies. I used to think of them as light-hearted stuff, but then they debuted a double header of Gone Baby Gone and No Country for Old Men and I was left pretty fucking confused.:lol

 

[Ashhong]

AMC had Gone Baby Gone? or do you mean USA? Honestly I never turn on AMC except when I know Breaking Bad or Mad Men are on :lol

I look at AMC like I look at USA, amazing shows and reruns of movies that I've already seen. I am amazed at the quality of every single USA show that comes to mind. I can't think of any duds out of Psych, Monk, Burn Notice, White Collar, etc. Hopefully AMC can keep it up as well
