I binged the whole thing in a week, no regrets. Before watching this show, i was one of those people who after seeing it mentioned everywhere as people’s top series on their list of favorites or even seeing the new york times list, would prejudge it and go “cmon this might just be overrated, it can’t be that good” but it was, it definitely was that good and it’s the best show i’ve ever watched and it’s going to be difficult to find a better one.

I don’t think there’s anything to criticize, i can only praise it and love it for the emotions that it made me feel and i felt all of them; sadness, anger, excitement, shock etc. There was not really a time where i was bored watching it and it only kept getting better. I watch s3 and i’m like this is the best season so far and then i watch s4 and i go, this is going to be a hard one to top but then s5 comes and it’s all just perfect.

What i love is how my feelings develop throughout it. In the beginning, i wanted walt and jesse to cook and make money and whenever that happened, i was hyped and excited but then in s5 walt continues to cook with todd and i’m just wishing for him to stop.

Walt is the bad guy, no doubt but he’s just such a terrific protagonist that i can’t hate him. Even though he ruined so many people’s lives, including his own and his pride was ultimately his demise, i still cried when he died. I can relate to how he feels at times; his resentment, his selfishness, his desire to be important, to feel seen. I think we all can. Walt, he just dug a hole too deep to get out of.

End note: Rest in peace to RJ Mitte 🕊️💔

Very entertaining movie and it was nice to see Bryan Cranston and Michael McKean in the same film. Bonus points for Rainn Wilson and Annette Bening. It's a solid flick. It's kinda like a nerfed version of BB without all the deaths.

I know the guy was far from being a Gustavo and stuff like that

But at least I would like to know if he would stop being Fearful with Tuco by having even a little power or if everything would simply remain the same only now he would be humiliated in front of the couple of fools he has at his service

I know that the whole 'Say My Name' episode is remembered for Walt being a badass, but I want to speculate - what if Declan followed through with his threat to just kill Walt in the desert and remove the blue sky from the market? They might have to kill Mike and/or Jesse as well, but they had the manpower to do that. So what happens if Declan wastes Walt in the desert? What if we live in a world without Coca-Cola?

I get there's a lot of 'What if Walt was killed by ______' but honestly Declan not killing Walt doesn't logically make sense if I didn't know that it was a TV show and Walt has plot armor.

Bryan Cranston reflected on the death of his “Breaking Bad” co-star RJ Mitte, who played his son on the hit series and died by suicide at age 34 earlier this month.

Speaking at a Broadway opening in New York City on Wednesday, Cranston said Mitte’s death left him shaken for days. He recalled that the two had been trying to arrange to meet before Mitte died and wondered whether his former co-star had wanted to talk to him about something.

“If you feel depression, it’s a real thing,” he added. “You’re not alone, and there’s help to guide you through.”

If you or someone you know is in emotional distress or suicidal crisis, call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Frankly I do. Betsy Brandt's performance in my opinion became Emmy worthy since season 3 beginning with the scenes where she was upset about Hank being shot. I also think Anna Gunn should've been nominated/won for Outstanding Lead Actress instead because after all Skyler is technically the main female character from the show and the main character besides Walter and Jesse. I also think it would've been cool if the show had won all 4 acting drama awards if Anna Gunn had been nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress instead and Betsy Brandt had been nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress

EDIT: Betsy Brandt on the title

Show’s on S2 on PlutoTV via the Xbox Pluto App right now. Usually it’s only via Roku these days, it seems. RIP RJ Mitte

These two, while most fans are very different with the other, which I agree, has these similarities:

-Has an addiction with drugs

-Suffers depression due to story events

-Mentored by a horrible person

In my analysis, Jesse's depression and addiction was more into his broken soul inside. He had faced and went through a lot. Jesse at least tries to change himself, although it was hard.

Christopher is mature and more older, but nevertheless has been more addicted and depressed more. He used drugs as a coping mechanism and has big denial to change himself.

I just don't get why the cartel is attacking Gus' operation and trying to kill his men. Isn't Gus basically part of the cartel? Like I know it's more of a loose relationship but still.

Why does Eladio allow the Salamanca side to do this?

We are introduced to Bolsa in breaking bad with him chopping Tortuga's head off with the help of the cousins.

However later in the series he's depicted as more of a diplomatic mediator and a broker between Don Eladio and Gus with a more calm demeanor.

Is there a chance they gave Don Eladio the arch Bolsa was originally supposed to have?

In Breaking Bad season 2, Episode 8 (Better Call Saul), Saul visits Walt at the school where he works as a chemistry teacher. During their conversation, Saul mentions a Private Investigator that charged Saul for 3 hours of his time, but apparently managed to track Walt down within an hour.

Was that person ever confirmed to be Mike Ehrmantraut? Cause I was just watching the scene randomly and it clicked to me how it would make sense for it to be him but I don't remember if it's officially confirmed in Better Call Saul or not

I've never seen him pack anything else for lunch whether when he was teaching at his high school or when he was cookin meth!

The pilot becomes a completely different experience after Felina.

Walt’s initial desperation hits differently when you know exactly how far his pride will take him. His claims about doing everything for his family become almost unbearable when you know where that justification eventually leads. Jesse is still just a reckless and inexperienced gangster wannabe, he is not the heart of the show yet.

The RV feels less like a beginning of their business and more like a coffin of their old selfs. And then there’s Better Call Saul, you know his fate, but not his journey.

S3 E9 Ive worked with these gloves, that tear is only going to get worse the more the hand moves. Theres no way they didn’t notice it. What gives?

Hi all - just finished BB for first time, amazing show across the board. Was curious what anyone thinks now or how they thought/felt when first seeing the flash-forwards of Walt in his abandoned house in season 5.

I didn't mind it, but it took a lot of the suspense out of certain scenes later in the season:

1\] Jesse spreading the gas in his house. The whole situation is a major WTF but knowing the house won't get torched because of the flash forward kinda took some of the bite out from it.

2\] Hank's arrest of Walt: if I didnt see the flash forward knowing Walt would make it, that whole desert shootout might have hit even harder

My gf (who has seen it multiple times) says they were great because youre left wondering how we can get to Point B (Walt in the abandoned house) when Point A (wherever youre at before then) seems so far away.

I get it, I just thought the teddy-bear in pool scenes worked this structure a little better. I was thinking during those ones like "is this a dream? Is it a flash forward? Whats a dolls eye doing in the water and why should I care? But im still intrigued." The reveal of what all that was after the crash was a full-circle "holy cow" moment. I just didnt get anywhere near the same effect with the Season 5 flash forwards, and in a way slightly hampered the tension for my viewing. Still an A+ show.

Just curious how you like the flash-forwards in S5 and your thoughts now and/or how you felt on initial viewing

I have watched the entire series several times. But can't for the life of me, figure out the ricin thing. Why did walt poison Brock? Why was the ricin cigarette found in the Rumba? Whats up with Jesse discovering it was missing from the pack, while waiting for the vacuum guy? So confused!

Like that part in season three he just shows Skyler the money he made and how it’s supposed to set them for life, and when he calls Flynn while in hiding he tells him he’s gonna send him some of the money. It’s like he doesn’t understand that the methods he had to do to earn the money is the problem. Makes it even worse when last time he heard his voice he made it sound like he killed Hank.

Towards the end of the Skyler white yo conversation with Jesse Skyler mentions in a very serious voice „you stay a way from him or you will be one sorry individual“ at the time it seems like she is saying it to protect Walt in a weird way but low and behold Jesse didn’t listen and wound up being one sorry individual because he stayed with Walt.
