Blood Money
(http://i.imgur.com/cTZ9poD.gif)


I really don't have the patience to sit around and wait for this Season to end and then on top of that wait for it to arrive on DVD and then on top of that wait in line at the Library to get my copy. All while avoiding spoilers that are sure to big news after the final episode airs. That's just too many variables that I don't want to have to deal with. So, watching it via AMC on their website is the best solution and I dove head first into Blood Money.

With the exception of the opening scene, which shows Walt with a full head of hair and beard visiting his broken down and tattered house retrieving the vile of ricin that he hid in the bedroom socket outlet, Blood Money literally picks up from the cliffhanger of the previous episode where Hank discovers who Heisenberg is, aka Walt. Obviously Hank doesn't want to rush to judgement and sets about doing more detective work to get concrete proof. I thought this would be how the rest of the season would play itself out. All cat and mouse. Nope. To my surprise, Walk grows suspicious and confronts Hank about it. And sure enough, they have their big face to face showdown, which is about the most electric thing I've seen on the show. I literally was holding my breath the entire time.

I can't wait to watch the next to episodes waiting for me. But I'm gonna try to space them out and not plow through these too fast. Need to savor this and make it last. Anyway, this second half of the season is off and running. I'm happy and excited to say the least. As for the flashfoward scene that opened this season as well as the first half of Season 5, I like it. It shows us the viewer that they are leading somewhere big, one that seems to have Walt in a tailspin and something big had to have played out or will play out. How else to explain the need to have ricin again?

Man, this is some great writing all around. On the surface, you would think that nothing much happens in this one, but that is totally wrong. This episode is all about self preservation and it comes from the two most unlikeliest characters on the show. First, you have Skyler who has wanted nothing more than to see the demise of Walt so that she could reclaim her life for herself and her two kids. But as soon as Hank and her sister Marie come at her, trying to take her child away, that just forges a new bond with Walt to stand by his side. I kinda saw this coming, but it was great to see anyway. The other one that is now in self preservation mode is Hank of all people. He can't and won't tip off the DEA about what he knows because it will be the end of his career in law enforcement. It was also fascinating to see Marie turn on her sister so quickly and she has every right to be p*ssed off for being lied to and manipulated all this time.

Great cliffhanger...again. I can't wait to see what Hank has in storage for Jesse (Aaron Paul) and how this interrogation is going to play out. Will Jesse's guilt finally get him to cooperate with Hank and flip on Walt? Or is the guilt so powerful that he has mentally shutdown and a deal of any kind is not going to alleviate him of his anguish. Fantastic episode. Still a trip to see Jesse Plemons on Breaking Bad. I'm so use to him being Landry still.

Holy crap, this episode was EPIC. There are a few amazing scenes that play out. For starters, I didn't even think of Walt, Sklyer, Marie and Hank ever sitting down for a "meal". I didn't think they would ever share the same room again. But this sit-down sets up one of the best blackmail plots ever on the show. It was a thing of beauty watching Walt's confession DVD that basically implicates Hank as the Meth Kingpin, which really puts him in a corner. So much so that for the time being, Hank is now Walt's b*tch. Ouch. The other amazing revelation has been in the making for a while. I've been waiting patiently for the time when Jesse would finally learn the truth about who stole the Ricin Cigarette from him.

Jesse's beat-down on Saul wasn't something I saw coming. But damn, that was powerful. What could possibly top this? How about Jesse racing over to the White residence to burn it down. That's the cliffhanger, with Jesse dousing the house with gasoline. Can't wait to see the next episode to see where this goes. The other scene that I really dug came a bit earlier in the episode and that's when Jesse called Mr. White on his bullsh*t about how he is always trying to 'work him' by pretending to be a father figure to him. The hug at the end was still Walt working him, but from a different angle. This series never fails to deliver. Best. Show. Ever!

Once I realized that Jesse was missing, I don't know why I didn't even begin to suspect that he would be with Hank, spilling his guts about everything that he and Walt had done over the last year. Everything from Brock to Gus. The episode is basically divided in half. The first half is Walt discovering that Jesse had retaliated by invading his home and the subsequent story he tells Skyler about the gas pump, carpet, etc...He really sucks at telling lies. He is so transparent. Couldn't even fool Skyler.

The second half of the episode is all about Jesse and how he came to be in the company of Hank, who by the way is really just like Walt in a lot of ways. He will do anything, even risking Jesse's life to get what he wants. Not sure how the next episode...or even the rest of the season is going to play out. The line has been drawn and it looks like Walt will officially put a hit out on Jesse, which is exactly what Jesse wants. I think his plan involves having Walt implicated with a 'murder for hire' sting operation.

I really liked the scene where Walt Jr. hugs his dad because he is scared of losing him. Remember, his son is why he started doing all this meth stuff in the first place, to provide for him and the family. And in that very moment, you see this in the look in his eyes. This one thing, in all of this is still pure because Jr. hasn't been tainted with the knowledge of what his father has done "in the name of love". Another stellar episode.

Another incredible episode. I've said it plenty of times this season, but the writing here is some of the best ever as this one kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Great setup (pun intended) for the first half of the episode that leads into a showdown at the end out in the desert. Nice con job by Hank and Jesse to get Walt to believe that he was burning Walt's money leading them out to where its buried. But what comes next is what has me itching to see what happens in the next episode. The gunfight between Hank and Gomie against Walt's 'Hired Goons' looks to be something that neither will walk away from. I just can't foresee anyway for them to escape with all that man and gun power against just the two of them. Fantastic episode. Only two episodes left.   :(

Today is the day. Series Finale for Breaking Bad tonight. Both happy and sad at the same time. Anxious to see how it all ends, but it's bittersweet because to me, this is the end of the greatest TV show ever created.  :(  I hope the show can go out on a high note, which I am 100% confident they will. Going to watch the last two episodes that I've been saving all week leading into the 3rd and final episode tonight. Mini marathon!!  ;D

Wow. Just....wow. I knew that there was no 'out' for Hank. There was no legitimate reason that the bad guys would ever let him walk. Prior to watching this episode, I kinda figured that with Hank and Gomie being the only ones that knew about Walt's dealings in meth that with their demise, his secret would be safe (even if Marie knows about it as well). I thought this was where the writers were taking the story. Well, it didn't quite play out that way. It played out exactly the way it should have.....a showdown between Walt and Sklyer and a knife. How far down the rabbit hole has Walt gone? The scene with Walt and Skler rolling around the floor with knife in hand is the last thing that Walt would have thought would happen. His whole Meth Empire was based on providing and taking care of his family and now here he is.....trying to kill his wife....here he is....getting choked by his son Flynn, calling the cops on him. Here he is kidnapping his own baby daughter Holly. The last thing he ever thought about when starting all this.

Walt does have one trick left up his sleeve and that is to save Skyler and admit that he 'force, terrorized and threathen' to kill her about his empire. She can now have a life because the cops will buy this and won't pursue her beyond this. I think. Not much of Jesse in this one other than being kidnapped and being forced to cook one last batch so as to train the other guy to be a better cook himself. Another incredible episode. Just 2 episodes left......  :(

Poor Jesse. I thought he was actually going to be able to escape from capture. Should have known it wasn't going to be as simple as that. He can't ever catch a break. Now his captors kill Brock's mother to send him a message and that if he doesn't continue to cook for them, Brock will be next. What is there for him to do that can get him out of this? Hell if I know.

As for Walt, how sad and pathetic has he become? Enough that he has to pay the guy that's been harboring him for a month to stick around for an hour, just to have human contact. Alone in a cabin out in the middle of nowhere getting treatment for his illness. That's is just beyond sad. To top it off, he had to hear from Flynn that he wants him gone already. Can ya get any lower than this? I dunno. So, the final scene had him watching TV and seeing Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz, the owners of Gray Matter Technologies the company he co-founded back in the day. I'm guessing that them talking sh*t about him and saying that he didn't contribute anything to the company beyond the name has set Walt off. But to do what? Seek revenge against them for that? Not sure.

One last episode.......tonight, and then it's all over.

Felina
(http://i.imgur.com/cTZ9poD.gif)


Well, Breaking Bad pulled off the rare feat of giving the viewers a Series Finale that does the entire run justice. Most "revered" series always tend to produce an episode that just can't live up the the legacy. Felina is definitely something to be proud of as it keeps in line with the tone of the show and its characters. My biggest concern was that it just would not be able to pull it off. There were a couple of surprises and some that I actually saw coming a mile away. We finally see the end game of Walt's ricin. Ever since the start of the final eight episodes, I had been trying to pinpoint what he was going to do with it. He was either going to poison himself or someone else. It was just a question of who was going to be on the receiving end. I will keep that to myself. No spoilers. Let's just say that it will make fans of the show happy.

I want to say more, but a lot of stuff goes down in the 75 minute long episode. All the loose ends are tied up. Those that deserved their justice get it in spades. All that was left was the final confrontation between Walt and Jesse and it was good. Brilliant actually. I hope the DVD set will have an even longer, extended cut of the episode. It deserves one for sure. The final scene was very good and very satisfying. But I will say that I had written it a different way in my head a while back and was kind of hoping that it was going to play out the way I envisioned it. Anyway, this is a fantastic send-off to a monumental achievement in TV writing and character-study. Amazing.

I will post the episode link tomorrow when it's made available.

See, that lull before the last couple of episodes... and not knowing how long that lull would be... that's why I didn't get into the series until now.  It becomes so easy for me to lose the momentum of the show.

Did anyone else notice, like, a twisted Back To The Future feel to this?  I had been thinking "Shazam" when I saw the RV for the first time, but now I keep thinking of the original Back To The Future script, where Doc and Marty are bootleggers, and this feels like a funky extension/perversion of that.

I've had a problem with this for the longest time and I've said it here. That's why I am only loyal, and that's stretching it, to a couple of shows. One little hiccup, let alone a huge break, I just lose it. Don't care.

I never did finish Battlestar Galactica.  I grant you the show went off the rails at the time (the final five, are you kidding me?) but it was that lull that kept me from actually getting back into the series.  Same with Burn Notice, although the prison element hurt as well (I don't really like shows about that, it's one of the reasons i haven't gotten into Orange Is The New Black.  And you'd think I'd be all over a women in prison series).

The lull isn't a problem for lighter fare, like Monk, Psych, or anything like that.

I still don't know how I was able to keep it to 2-3 episodes a day when I checked out the DVD Seasons from the Library. The only Season that I watched live was Season 5 and that was because it was the only way I could guarantee that I wouldn't run into spoilers. But it was brutal getting through each week with only 1 episode to sustain me. TORTURE!

I'm so used to watching streaming now that it's actually weird to go only a few eps, then change the disc... sometimes it's too few, sometimes it's too many!  Episodes per disc these days seems so arbitrary.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Not yet. We have the last two episodes to watch and I expect we will do that Friday. The weekend, at the latest.

I'm pretty sure my wife will go into withdrawals. She loves the show.

We're going to try to find something else we can get into.

Tried Dexter. Watched two episodes. Interesting. Didn't hook me... yet.

Same with "True Detective". Started it. Liked what I saw, but not that hook. I'm not sure this will ever hook me. I have an aversion to cop shows.

Orange is the New Black.... should capture my attention, but did nothing for me.

I know very little about Game of Thrones, but sounds very intriguing. But that is nowhere to be found streaming.

Dude, I implore you to stick with Dexter. There are some hiccups along the way, but overall, I really like the series. There's SO MUCH to talk about regarding Dexter that if you and Neumatic don't watch it, I will kill both of you in the same manner that Dexter does.  :P As for Game of Thrones, I will impale you in the same manner..........  ;D

I bought mine.  Netflix doesn't do HBO, it's a rival.  I intended to rewatch the first two seasons before starting the third, but Breaking Bad took my attention away, yo.  I still haven't watched season three yet.  But I got time, it'll be a year before the next season is out.

At first when he runs down the aisle, I thought it looked super fake because he was kind of "floating" and the audience behind him looked like it was Greenscreened in , or more to the point where Aaron was rotoscoped into the shot. CBS is really going all out with their FX budget. ;D

Totally lived up... I mean, I grant you that I thought that there would be a lot more Heisenberg than there actually was (maybe he had more impact when he was spread out some more), but I totally dug it.

I like how discombobulating it was at the start to see Bryan Cranston in the role, because he still looked like Hal from Malcolm In The Middle (with a little Ned Flanders going on, so it kept my mind fixated on a "Sunday night comedy" mindset), the house kind of looked like the one in Malcolm, it was shot kind of similarly (at first, the show looked AMAZING and totally different at the end), plus the scene where he and Jesse are fighting over the bag that Walt wants to flush down the toilet, that totally felt like MITM... the whole thing kind of felt weird and naughty in a great way.  I felt sullied, and I've been trying to think of how to recreate that feeling in my own projects.

It's been a loooooong time since I've been able to sink my teeth into a show and just consistently love to watch and anticipate what will happen next. The stars were aligned, the dominoes fell like they should. This was such a well constructed storyline where everything mattered. Unlike a lot of other shows throwing stuff out and see if it sticks (I'm looking at you LOST). There was a plan from the beginning to end.

Walter's character evolved so nicely. Look, we (the audience) was rooting for the bad guy. The other characters evolved too. I think that’s what was refreshing for me. Look back at other shows and show me characters who transform that dramatically. It’s a formula. Here’s your character and play that to the bone in each and every case. Breaking Bad broke the mold for me.

And the characters throughout brought real human drama to the story, unlike a comedy or fantasy shows. They acted and reacted like you would expect. With such change, there will be times not everything works for everybody. I had a few problems with some of the elements, but I ignored them, as I’m sure the writers intended to move the story along. While its fun to point them out, not so much to dwell on them.

Now to find another show like that. Walking Dead does well. But I need moooooore

That's just it. Breaking Bad is a once-in-a-life-time series. We will NEVER see anything remotely close to what we got with BB. Sure, there will be shows that have awesome episodes and may even have a nice run of seasons. But I just can't see any show from this day forward providing a consistent high level output from episode to episode that was and is truly astounding from every aspect of writing, acting and production in front of and behind the camera.

I'm very much looking forward to Better Call Saul, and even though it's most likely going to have the same writers and crew working on the series, I highly doubt it's going to be able to even come close to what they did with BB. That's not a knock against them as creative artists, but high praise for the bar they set as being the new standard of what a TV Series can give us. They have a lot to live up to. It still blows me away that there wasn't one bad episode in it's entire run. Not only that, but what other series can you name that literally got better with each season and ended with a very satisfying Finale? Ya can't.

Ya know... I can't. Great observation about this series.

Friends comes to mind on consistent quality writing and can't think of one bad episode... but that's a different place altogether.

But, I will never say never. I'm just not going to hold my breath.

I'm trying to remember Skyler's attitude before she was laundering the money, if she had an "all in" attitude beforehand, it would explain a lot.  Although she did seem suspiciously smart about crime.

If the show was more different, I'd definitely be interested in checking it out.  But if it's a carbon clone, I'd rather watch BB again (i've had an itch to recently, so I used it as an excuse to read the original pilot script.

Dude, I'm a huge fan of the late, great Hoffman, but thank God that they didn't cast him as Gus Fring! No one could have played him to perfection in the way that Giancarlo Esposito! Michael Cera? That blows my mind to even think of him being on the show. Yikes! The idea of either of them on the show drastically alters what Breaking Bad became. That's like saying that Jason Bateman is Saul.

Vince Gilligan Urges 'Breaking Bad' Fans to Stop Throwing Pizzas on Walter White's Roof (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/vince-gilligan-urges-breaking-bad-780683?facebook_20150311)



I didn't know this was an ongoing issue. But something iconic as the 'pizza on roof' scene, it was bound to take on a life of its own. I love what Jonathan Banks had to say about the problem. F*cking classic!!!

It was only a matter of time. I actually thought of this becoming a legit restaurant when the show was airing.

Lucky 'sum b*tch. That's a great one to nab for sure. The other must-have would of course be Heisenberg's Hat. I can only imagine how much either one would fetch on eBay.
