I’m going thur BB withdrawal symptoms. Its HARD for me to watch most shows at this point, because I’m always comparing. I’m so used to 98% purity, it’s tough going back to 67%.
I know how you feel. Now it feels like I’m settling even though 3rd tier shows like Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, and Hell on Wheels are still very good in their own right, but the magic simply isn’t there.
Breaking Bad’s journeyman aka “Low Winter Sun” is almost done with its first season and still doesn’t know wtf it wants to with itself. I only watch it for the fetching female detective.
Maybe it’s time for a “Re-Wire”.
To be fair to Low Winter, ANY show airing right after BB is going to look like shit. But LWS is aight I guess, I mainly watch it for Geddes (dude’s a phenomenal actor). Soon as he dies, I probably won’t care about the show anymore
Here’s my list of shows to start tho: Hannibal, Game of Thrones, Hell on Wheels and Homeland. I hear they’re all great
For one thing, being an alpha male guy with a crazy-involved worklife would most likely make the tendency worse. If Hank were a more laid-back person with a job that he left at 5pm on Friday and didn’t have to think about again until 8am Monday, he’d probably have a much more agreeable personality in such a scenario.
For another thing, Marie being his wife probably would make it even worse, because there’s no professional division between their lives. I’m thinking of a lot of real life people, but I’m especially thinking of my grandparents right now, both of whom seem to be going through alternating spells of poor health. I’ve seen the crazy strain it can put on a relationship when one person who used to be able to do everything is suddenly and utterly dependent on their significant other. It’s not pretty, and I found Breaking Bad’s portrayal of this situation very humane and informed.
I think in a lesser show, Hank may very well have handled himself a lot better, because characters in lesser shows behave like you’d logically expect a character with a certain set of traits to behave. But real people are much weirder, messier, and less predictable.
Watching Sons of Anarchy, I find myself comparing Tara to Skyler, Jax to Walt Jr., and Nero (Jimmy Smits) to Gus. Oh god.
I think S4 Boondocks is the only show that’s going to snap me outta this rut lol
It’s getting so bad that I really REALLY wish Huell’s Rules was fucking real. I don’t even care about Better Call Saul anymore
I’m still on season 1 of SOA and I started in July because it doesn’t get me sinked in like BB
Alternate endings: http://seriable.com/breaking-bad-alternate-endings-revealed/
your welcome, bitch.
The one thing I didn’t like about the finale was when he told Lydia about the Ricin. What’s to stop her from getting medical help and telling them exactly what she’s been poisoned with?
that’s the beauty of it - there is no antidote.
a pretty neat theory. some good points to be hard too as theres several things in the finale that really would have had to go just right for things to work as well as they did for Walt. We all want to believe in the end that Walt is the criminal mastermind, but things rarely went as smoothly for him as they did in the finale, and he never had that kind of heat on him.
In the end though I think its a TV show that just requires some suspension of disbelief
That’s pretty cool (Jesse’s drug stash box) and pretty damn sad, $950 for Jesse’s DEA mug, a plain white mug with the letters DEA written in Arial typeface :looney:
Where’s the suitcase full of cash?
Wheres the auction for the meth? lets no fuck around here.
your nearest trailer park
Plus, it seems kind of hard to explain exactly how she knows exactly what with and when she was poisoned without incriminating herself.
Meh. That’s been everybody’s go-to theory about every ending since Taxi Driver. I guess it’s fun to think about, but it’s not worth taking seriously unless there’s a specific reason to do so within the show itself. “It went really well for him” doesn’t quite cut it.*
*Plus, it kind of didn’t.
I’ve to recomend this so much:
^^^ Cool.
Speaking of Breaking Bad music, there’s a download floating around that I found a long time ago that collects all the songs used in the show from seasons 1 to 3. There’s probably downloads that collect the songs from 4 and 5 now, too. Well worth checking out. Breaking Bad uses almost universally excellent music, some of which led to me discovering some artists I hadn’t heard before.
rewatched the finale, and like usual, you’re wrong : )
TIGHT! TIGHT! TIGHT! TIGHT! :tup:
I’m more right than you realize.
Walter Blanco haha
