Best show on television returns tonight.
Nothing is really close to delivering week in and week out this high quality of entertainment. S4 premiere even got a 96 on metacritic, which if you follow that, u know how absurdly high of a rating that is.
Anyone here watch Mr. White?
If you need to catch up on the show, I can give you the links n websites that will stream old episodes free without downloading anything
pizza anyone?
yep. it's good .
watch out for the aztek!
I definitely need to catch up. I've only gotten through season 1. Great show so far.Quote:

Pretty psyched for this. Great show.
Kaldaniels, it's about a chemistry teacher who turns to crime to support his family after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis, but it's so much more than that.
either of these should have multiple links for each episode of each season to stream.Quote:

Gist is it follows Walter White, an underachieving mid 40's high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with terminal cancer. In order to leave his pregnant wife and teenage son a nest egg, he turns to cooking crystal meth as his last ditch way to provide enough money for them after hes gone. The show follows his trip down the rabbit hole as he gets deeper and deeper into the world of cooking crystal meth, often with serious consequences.Quote:

If you or anyone has trouble getting through an episode of dexter, breaking bad is a lot worse imo. But, it has the best characters, best acting, and the best writing. I hate to overyhype a show, and have it not meet expectations, but this is definitely worth a watch.
Don't think I'll ever look at a box cutter the same way again.
That scene with Gus in the lab was about as perfect as a TV scene can get.
We've been DVRing AMC's run thru the last 3 seasons (they ran 2 a night for a while, then when they got thru all 3 seasons, they restarted, going 3 a night every Wednesday night in prep for season 4.) We've finally made it all the way thru season 2, and will be starting season 3 pretty soon, w/ season 4 currently qued up on the DVR. I love this series, as I do most of AMC's stuff. I hope they do something similar with Mad Men so we can do the same w/ that series.
Last night was about the 200th time this show has made me legitimately drop my jaw. Just awesome.
Just an awesome scene. One of the more powerful scenes I have ever seen where the actor did not say a word through the whole scene until the very end.Quote:

Scenes like that win awards. Esposito deserves a bunch of them for his performance so far in the other seasons. This could finally get him what he's deserved.Quote:

Which line?Quote:

So finally caught up w/ the rest of season 3, now thru season 4 and just last night reached the point where were up to day. I'm going to miss not having 1-2 shows to watch at a time a couple of times a week, actually having to wait for a new episode. By far, my favorite show on TV ever (though I haven't watched the wire yet, next time HBO starts showing a full run on HBO on demand starting w/ season 1, I"ll probably catch up on that show) I love the cast of characters in this show and how they've been able to expand it beyond just Walt & Jessie's story.
I am the one who knocks!!
Legendary quote. I rewound it twice to watch it. Got goosebumps.Quote:

That quote will be remembered for decades.
Ironically, I'm not sure that AMC even realized that.Quote:

"I am the one who knocks!"
last nights episode may be the best one yet this season.
jesses monologue at the rehab center was so good
Help me out a bit. What is it exactly that the cartel wants? Walter? Or Walter dead? I'm a bit confused.
I might be wrong, but I don't think it's been explicitly laid out yet.Quote:

Ummm.... bump.
What an episode. What kind of theories do you guys have? Questions I've seen floated out there:
Is Gus gay? Do you care? (I couldn't care less. I think it has nothing to do with the story.
What did Gus mean when he says to Hector, "Is this the day?" and "Maybe next time."
Who is this Don Eladio character?
Is Gus's main motivation simply revenge?
P.S. Did everyone notice the 3rd guy at the meeting was the guy from the cartel that Gus had killed in his home?
That was one of the best episodes of any tv show I've ever seen.
Right now I am leaning toward him being gay and out for revenge. But there are so many other things it could be.
i think hes gay (would seem odd to pay for only a best friends education), but I don't think were gonna get a definitive yes/no on that like omar in the wire did with some of his kissing scenes.
either way I don't think gus being gay really affects the story at all.
The most interesting part to me was who really is gus. I think he was probably involved with pinochet in some way, maybe DINA, a general, or relative of pinochet or one of his right hand men.
also stumbled on some money laundering stuff regarding pinochet and Riggs bank that was a massive scandal involving fronts, business shell companies to filter drug, illegal arms, and other black markets money to him. possibly gus was or is directly involved with that type of thing, but its just a wild guess.
For the life of me I have no idea where anyone is getting this Gus is gay thing. Seems like a huge reach to me. But the last 10 minutes or so of that episode was incredible.
Read up on it. I don't have any direct links, but I read a message board that discussed the Spanish words that were used in that final scene led a native spanish speaker to believe he was gay. Basically, Gus's buddy (can't remember his name) reffered to Gus as his "companero", which is spanish for companion, where as the word "blank" (I can't remember what the word was) would be used in Spanish to describe a business partner.Quote:

There are conflicting reports with what was said on the podcast, where Vince said it was open to interpretation, but other producers hinted that it was true.
Again, not that applicable to the storyline at all, but an interesting debate.
Their interaction and the conversation led me to believe they were more than friends. I don't think it matters that much, except to suggest that Gus would have taken his death harder than he might have if they were simply friends.
The Gus/Pinochet connection possibility is really interesting. I really hope we see Gus' background fleshed out more with more flashbacks.
I'm sort of more interested in Mike and Gus at this point than Walt. Which is nothing against Walt's storyline, it's all excellent, but Mike and Gus are really intriguing.
This show just continues to top itself week in and week out. I dont know how they do it. A+ opening scene with jessie taking control of the lab while Gus and Mike nod in almost fatherly like approval. Even better ending/closing scene
I feel emotionally drained every week after I watch this show. It's incredible. Only other show I can even compare it to is The Wire, and it's getting closer and closer to how good that was.

Another amazing episode. What an ending. Every week you swear this show can't possibly get any more intense and they just keep topping themselves every week.
Am I the only one surprised that Walt doesn't have $500K? Even after the $617K they gave to Beneke......he makes over $7mil a year...maybe it just hasn't been as long as I think. How old is the baby now?
Actually I read an interview with the shows creator in which he said the whole series has taken place within the same year. So while the series has been on several seasons the story from the beginning to now has taken place within the same year.Quote:

Just thinking out loud. Plus he might have still had a healthy amount of money down there, hundreds of thousands even, but he needs $500k for 4 identities, plus money to live on. Possibly forever.Quote:

That probably is right. For some reason I was thinking that it had been close to a year and Walt was nearing $6mil or so.Quote:
