EPTThis is one of those rare shows that gets better every season. Bryan Cranston is a great actor and deserves alot of credit for his performance of a character suffering from a terminal illness and the conflict of emotions you would get with such an illness.

+ Show Spoiler + The one where they spent a whole episode chasing a fly. I keep getting a vibe like it's trying to have some humor included but it just falls flat. Some of the acting or characters are just really bad, like Marie. God that one annoys me. Maybe I'm just spoiled by having watched The Wire, The Shield and Game of Thrones as the three shows prior to this. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Jesse will point the gun away from Gale's face at the last second. Jesse will end up kidnapping Gale and Walter will escape from Gus's custody somehow. Jesse and Walt will end up teaming up to kill Gus, but that will probably not happen until at least mid-season. I think the first several episodes will center around a power struggle between the two entities. Also I think it's about time Jesse and Walter Jr. meet. | ||

Pretty sure your prediction is off since + Show Spoiler + The show's creator has confirmed that Jesse shot Gale | ||

Breaking Bad's writing is clearly not for you, if you want every episode to be an overwritten action-fest. The lulls in excitement bring the tension to near unbearable levels, soooo good. | ||

There's just something about danish drama that rubs me the wrong way, like they're trying too hard. Most of the character development of "Breaking Bad" is fine, but some of the connections between characters is a bit too interconnected (so to speak). Like I'm watching "Lost" or "Prison Break" or something. Some of the arguments between Walt and Jesse seem really over-the-top as well, stuff that people would in reality be able to easily let go of by keeping their eyes on the prize.

The lulls in excitement bring the tension to near unbearable levels, soooo good. It's not about the action, it just seemed like a filler episode, besides from the little speech at the end maybe. But you're probably right that the writing isn't for me. | ||

But you think that The Shield or Game of Thrones is written more "realistically?" These characters are in impossible situations, realism becomes relative. It's an odd gripe. I'd like a specific example. | ||

I don't agree with him, I think The Wire, Mad Men and Six Feet Under remain the gold standard for television - but he is eloquent and correct about somethings. For instance, watching season 4 of The Wire does not qualify you to argue about the crumbling institution of the American urban education system... so what's with this dude and not even acknowledging game of thrones? (imo the best show not only of the decade but ever, at least over this first season) | ||
