Eh speaking of my bro, right from the pilot we would say how painful it was watching these two clowns constantly making bad judgment calls. So funny how invested you can get in characters. Almost crying: Why did he do that? WHY!!!!!!!!!!!! Just spoiler tag, Yods. I want to read what you have to sy :up: |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
I mean.. the thread is called Breaking Bad ALL OVER AGAIN, so I take it that the purpose of the thread is for discussing while rewatching the show. ;)
I don't care, y'all can spoil all you want. That's what I'll do at least. So be it. :cool: |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
C'Mon @Yoda. What's your foreshadowing? You know I just need to make fun of that word, so spill.
|
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Oh, I just meant...
WARNING: "Breaking Bad" spoilers below
...the moment with Gus in the desert, where he basically says "we're done." But he doesn't ask Walt, he tells him, and he's on his knees. This is right after Walt freaked out about his family being threatened, and not being able to find a way out. And then he's given one, and he throws it back in his face. I think the line was "Or else what?" That was the moment I was referring to earlier,
sans specifics. |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Don't let me spoil your essays. Thank you Yoda, Dani & Meditation for the caution, you don't need to use spoiler tags, god bless your gentle souls. As I said, your spoilers don't affect me, because:
- I know what to read and what to skip, unless you use Cap and red font. My reading skill is superb ;) - I have my own judgement about characters and often ignore what others said before that. Otherwise I wouldn't have jumped into the Rewatching thread. === Back to BreBad, I'm on S2. Turn out I didn't hate Skyler at all. She hasn't (yet) done anything that's over a wife's range, for my knowledge of real life wives so far. Over-imposing, stalking, forceful hand job,... none of that is beyond wives. Not that I desire such wives in my life. I actually felt very bad for her. The moment when she knew Walt had cancer, or when Walt disappeared. Poor woman. And she was hilarious I enjoyed her scenes so much. For example the family talking scene with the frigging Talking Pillow :rolleyes: Chuck from BCSaul couldn't compare to her. A wife is entitled to have a little control over a man's life (sorry guys), but a bro is not. Now I'll go back to page 1 to see what you said about S1. |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
@Elessar, what do you think of the montages? The 'nothing ever happens and this is not breaking bad' whiners on the BCS board constantly complained about the Saul montages, but after my recent rewatch I felt the breaking bad montages were more frequent and even longer. I love them and dont really understand the complaints.
|
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
I love the montages in BreBa, as well as everything else in the show. It's really well-rounded. The composition, the music, the angle in the montages are all great and none are overdue. As for BCS I don't remember much about montages because perhaps I fastforwarded many of them. BCS has one disadvantage: it relied much on BreBa. For newcomers like me, some characters showed up for no real purpose and some scenes held no interest. But for the 'nothing ever happens' whines I don't agree, it's just a very different kind of show.
=== The beginning of S2. How dare Walt and Jesse toy with Don Hector?! The terrifying Senor Hector from BCS. I almost wished they would pay for it. And they certainly did. Just when I started to forgive Jesse, he acted so dumb again. What's with the "chili powder" aka ricin oil? He can't even keep his big mouth shut for a second. All the people he hang out with seemed dumb too. I don't know how Walt fell into that rabbit hole. |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Ep 206 or 7, not sure.
I would think of Walt's path down as a mad scientist syndrome. He got talent & ambition but was sidelined in life and "surpassed by all of his friends" (his words). At some moment that ambition will wake up. It's only intensified by his end-of-life situation: it's now or never. Nobody forced his hand, since the beginning. It was all him, with a little nudge from the lung. We have seen enough of mad physicists or IT-ist on screen, who can bring terrible destruction to the world by their invention. A mad chemist now is only logical. I kinda like Hank. He's a funny bro in law, but he could be a deadly enemy. PS. The scene of Tuco making burritos gave me mouthgasm. PS. Reread what @seanc said, the bathtub is the most memorable moment in BB for me too. PS. What about the pizza hitting the roof that you mentioned? I seemed to miss that scene? |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Ep 207& 8
Oh yes, Saul! Almost forgot about him. That first scene of Saul that I had watched out of context, now it makes more sense. It's terrific to see Saul and Heisenberg head to head. Then Mike! Then Gus! I hadn't know that this character was important when I watched BCS, but I kinda like him, much more than the Salamanca gang. Sorry about that girl dying in her sleep, but actually I didn't feel any sorry for her. I'm so sorry for the father, and the hundreds of people died because of that. Jesse is still as dumb as ever. First the battery accident (I wanted to wreck his neck), then him trying to shove his face in front of Jane's father. Jesus, didn't every textbook say Not to do that? Then, he let Jane speak for him in front of Walt. He let Jane drag him into the heroin thing. I don't know if I could forgive this character but right now he's a piece of garbage. I don't understand how Walt could feel fatherly towards him and spend too much time for him while forgetting his true 2 children at home. |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Oh, I didn't mean he's a piece of garbage as a human being. I meant it as a screen character. Til now his principal role in the serie is to slow Walt down, so that Walt does not move too fast ahead in his criminal path. I just don't like this shoved-in stupidness. I'd given Jesse the benefit of doubt, but now at ep 306 he didn't show any sign of improving. My patience was stretched thin, man. After his girlfriend died (and he really loved her in a best way, I gave you that), he went through some serious self-reflection period, and I thought he might change after that. Hell no..
About the people around him treating him like trash, I agree with you on that. I will not abandon him like his parents did. Even if it'll take me 10 years, 20 years or all of my life, I'll keep trying. |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
LOL El. I just wanted to post that gif. I love that you're seeing Jesse for the first time. He was a huge dick; totally irresponsible, and it ripped my heart out when his mother turned on him but she had to. For me all the characters in this are all about human frailty and I ask myself if I would like them in real life if I came across them. Jesse - well I dont know any meth heads but I have had friendships with people sort of like him and kept giving them pass after pass until finally you just have to give them the big flick until they pull their head out of their ass. I'm looking forward to see if you change your mind down the track.

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
There is also one more that Jesse does, in season 1, I think it's when they are sitting at the table either discussing killing that guy/disposing of the body or discussing what Jesse has to buy or whatever, and I remember Jesse throwing another "????? this!" I just can't remember what ????? was... I remember it to be "pull this" but I'm probably wrong...
You got other *something*-this quotes from BB you remember, Dani? |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
No wait, "pull this" is from season 2... I just saw it recently! Now I remember. :laugh:

Jane dying was really uncomfortable this time. Like it wasn't already, but man they really went for it. The sound design too. Nasty stuff. Heartbreaking... especially the scenes that follow. Love the scene with Walt holding Jesse in the dope house. |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
I'm at the beginning of S4.
My favorite scenes remains ones of Walt facing Gus. 2 big heads and you just want them to crush each other very, very hard. Oh, don't think dirty. And any scene with Saul. He's a gold mine. It's amazing that the character feels the same as the Jimmy in BCS, even though the 2 shows have very different tone. Even though his character has changed a lot. It's not an easy thing to achieve. For example, the Gandalf in The Hobbit feels quite different from the Gandalf in The LOTR. |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
I wanted to have a small break, but I plan on jumping into season 3 very soon.
I see Elessar is way ahead of my now, so I won't have to worry about spoilers anymore. So... Elessar... there is this thing about the end of season 4 I wanna tell you about... :D:p |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Another "Pull this!" or another exploding Tortuga?
I'm very much looking forwards to it, but I'll probably forget what you said tomorrow :rolleyes: === Jesse is still a dragging. He was there just so Walt can rescue him. I don't need 45 mins screen time of Jesse partying and hallowing only to show that he feels empty inside. Holy, if that's a drug party looks like, it's kinda a boring party with bad music. |

For example, the Gandalf in The Hobbit feels quite different from the Gandalf in The LOTR. I am two episodes into season 4. 3 was good but definitely a step down from the first two for me. Feels like a reset in the story and maybe that was needed but there are a ton of conveniences. That's usually what happens to my brain when something is plot driven instead of character driven, I start noticing the conveniences. Pains me to say it too because I am such a Gus fan. The twins really bothered me this watch. I don't like those characters at all. On the plus side we got a lot of Mike and Saul and that is damn entertaining. |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
I regret racing through it now. I'm back to having withdrawals. So in love with that show. And yes re: the party, El. Holey hell he let them wreck that cute house his auntie obviously loved...I wanted to smack him in the teeth.

I'm at 403. Good work from Skyler negotiating the car wash. I'll do exacly like her if I'm in my right mind (which I never am). Funny how Walt is still naive when it comes to negotiating prices, though he's in the black market for a long while. |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Goes to show how mind numbing that drug must be. How about the guy psychotically rambling to himself.
Oh yeah the car wash negotiating with Mr Eyebrows was fantastic. |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Tsk tsk they were plodding of killing Gus. I hope not. Gus is my favorite character. Walt can't keep killing anyone stood on his way. He wouldn't find a drug lord more reasonable than Gus. And explain to me again, why Walt had to feel parenthood toward that dumbstick Jesse and babysit him all the time? I just don't like babysitter movies, damn that Despicable Me and all.
So glad to see Hank back, still humorous and even sharper. Hank vs. Gus might be my new couple. |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
I love Hank!

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
407 or 8.
Jesse did something cool, finally. I'd waited forever for this moment. Yayyyy when he stood up for Walt, and then cooked a batch of 96% crystals, then put the cartel chemist back into his place. Seems like Jesse really needed to get out of Walt's parenthood to be able to grow up. That Ted Beneke was such a loser. He's my new hate. Not Jesse anymore, not Skyler (I enjoyed her scenes, especially the little show in front of the auditor. She got quite an imaginative mind.) |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Finished S4. What a season. On par with S1 and I like it much more than S2 & S3.
Don Hector's death somehow feel heroic. The final two eps had me holding my breath. Can't believe Walt killed ... off. Loved it when Walt and Jesse burnt down everything and walked out together, now they look like real partners. What's left for S5? I can't wait. Dani: if I rewatch the show, I think I would still be annoyed with the immature Jesse. |

Wasnt the burning down scene AMAZING!!!

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
What does the final scene of S4 mean? The Lily of the valley pot in Walt's house, does it mean that he poisoned the kid? I don't dare to think of it...

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
I am absolutely amazed you have never seen spoilers, El. They're all over social media, and were all over newspapers back when the show was airing. Well done remaining spoiler free.
|
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Told ya, I live in a cave :D
I have watched several eps of S5, omg it was Walt with that lily of the valley... He descended that path too quick. It shocks me a little bit. No wonder Skyler was afraid of him now. I think among all people in the show, Skyler was still the one who understood him the most, but a little bit too late. Perhaps Mike did now, too. The scene of Jesse crying and regretting about "almost shoot" Walt broke my heart. Poor naive kid. His acting in that scene was stellar. I also felt for Walter Junior. He's the most innocent one in this tragedy. When Walt skipped his 16th birthday party, he went to take care of Walt, only to see Walt crying over Jesse and even called his son "Jesse". Amazingly, after the drug lord died, the show still kept its tension. |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Oh no, Mike.
I didn't see that coming at all. I'm in the middle of S5 but it feels like the end. When Walt could bring himself to threaten Skyler, and Skyler wanted her husband to have cancer back, when Walt risked Jesse's life under that freight train for several gallons of water, we know that the end is near. The Star Trek script of Jesse's friend was hilarious. I would love to see that on screen. |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Wow, the tape that Walt "confesses" is hilarious. He did learn Skyler's acting skills and even tears.
The look on Hank's face while watching: only then he truly understood who Walt was. |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
What!
Walt want to kill Jesse now? Guess the threat for his real family kicked in and he sacrificed his adopted son. Now it's like Walt vs. everybody else. The sense of doom was drawing near, consequently the suspend diminished a little bit. Such a pity. I don't want this show to end. |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
I've had BreBa hangover and withdrawal for a few days, so that I couldn't even talk. How did it end so fast?!
Oh Hank. Couldn't have imagined you'd gone out like that. The ending felt a little bit rushed, everything came crashing down, everybody turned against Walt, he made some clumsy moves himself that I didn't see in previous seasons. While Walt is a devil, people around him were only contributing to push him further. Hank wanted him ruined by all means, not only for justice sense but also for revenge sense, to payback the ridiculous faith Hank had put on him. When Hank died, everybody automatically thought it was Walt's doing. No one care to listen to him, or to look into his other murders, to see the circumstances. When Skyler took a knife against him, his son ended up blaming him for "attacking" her. He might be bad, but he did love people in his own way, and he did try to protect Hank. I feel pity for him. I'm so glad the final ep went out with a bang. |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
And quite a bang it was.
|
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
I still dont really get why Saul felt the need to disappear. I had a theory at one point but I've forgotten it. No one was left to knock him off, and there was no proof he was laundering for the 2 clowns was there? I guess because at that point the neo nazis were still around but did he know about them? I cant remember.
|
Through season 4. Much better than 3 for me but still doesn't come close to 1 or 2. I am really pleased I am doing this rewatch. I love the show, the characterrs are tremendous. Not sure how some of you can watch it so much though. Just way too plot heavy after season 2 for me to spend that much time with it.
I love Face Off. I was amazed at the tension it still held for me on a second viewing. I know Walt always wins but he really was a step behind very late into this series. His little temper tantrums every time he doesn't get his way is bothering me this time through. Jessie remains sympathetic but just so over matched in this world. He should be dead or arrested 100 times by now. Gus is the greatest. That is all. Really projecting my BCS viewing on that character. I love him this time around. |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
No problem MoveMeditation.
I like watching you rewatching BreBa :D The show is still fresh in my mind and I can remember all details. I had 1 month of vacation too when I had just started the rewatch, but now I've caught up with you guys (and have a withdrawal, dang it). Just saw the honest trailer of BreBa yesterday and they collected all the ways people could die in the show. Hilariously gore. Tortuga still win. |

Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Giddy up.

Bump! Alan Sepinwall, who's my go-to TV critic, has a book coming out called Breaking Bad 101, and there's an excerpt from it over on The Ringer about the big (moderate spoilers for Season 4!) Walt/Gus showdown, and how it surprises some people in part because it represents a slight shift in the perspective the show has had up until that point (even though there was technically no reason to think it had to keep exactly the same perspective).
I really like the idea of implicating the viewer with it it, too, simultaneously allowing them to unabashedly cheer certain things, while reminding them afterwards of what's actually happening when you stop thinking about it in pure protagonist/antagonist terms. Worth a read! I particularly like something the excerpt only briefly touches on...
WARNING: "Breaking Bad Season 4" spoilers below
...the idea of the last vestiges of Walt's better angels metaphorically "dying" in Crawl Space, underground.
I'll have to rewatch some and think about it more, but I feel like this might be one of those ideas that makes even more sense the more you look into it. |
Re: Breaking Bad All Over Again
Oh man, I've been rewatching parts of this because of Better Call Saul (and there are some wicked callbacks I never noticed!), and it got me inevitably rewatching my favorite parts of the whole series.
At this point I think the last five episodes of season 4 are the most compelling stretch of television I've ever seen. In order, they are (spoilers!): Bug (Walt and Jesse physically fight) Salud (Gus poisons the cartel) Crawl Space (Walt cackles after discovering the money is gone) End Times (Brock poisoned, first assassination attempt on Gus) Face Off (ya 'know) What an insane stretch. Every single episode ended in totally jaw-dropping fashion. |
