Would you fear them?
Every aircraft, every camera, is a wish that wasn't granted.
What was that for?
Try to be bad.
Sunday night the end of the series begins. I can't wait. So much to wrap up and I trust Gilligan to do it with style and depth and to my satisfaction.
Anyone else gearing up to watch?
I just started watching the 5th season on netflix and cannot participate in this thread until I am caught up on all the episodes. I have to say that I loved watching Gus take out the cartel in the last season and was actually sad to see him die.
I have never watched the series until today when I happened to be stuck at my son's apartment out of town and tuned in for 15-20 minutes while channel-surfing. Just my luck, I caught the episode when they murdered the little boy and dissolved both his body and his dirt bike in acid. Those of you who know me know I'm no Victorian about entertainment, but I think I am done now with "Breaking Bad." Good grief.

my wife and I started watching it couple weeks ago on netflix. We have watched 6 episodes from season 1. He just shaved is head and put jesse in the hospital. Both of us are now addicted to the show and I'm not opening this thread again. Have to avoid everything on the internet.

Oh, you mean the show about people leading miserable, unhappy and unprincipled lives? Well, at least they are not murdering children on that show.

Excellent season opener. The garage scene to end the episode and set the whole season in final motion was absolutely amazing! Dean Norris as Hank is one of my favorite characters in this whole series. Absolutely terrific how intense he is. His voice and intense face are such an asset to the show. He's had it with Walt and is locked on. This is going to be beautiful and ugly going forward.
LA - give this show a chance. You are taking the motorcycle scene out of a huge context and isolating it. It plays a major role in this series' ultimate portrayal of morality.
Jesse Pinkman hanging with Skinny Pete and the description of the Star Trek episode was just perfect blend of comedy and Pinkman completely being lost in his own guilt was powerful during that whole scene and the whole episode.
A+ in every single way.
So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

I will probably check BB out. I saw a very favorable piece by Jonah Goldberg of National Review, calling "Breaking Bad" a fundamentally conservative show. Interestingly, BB does better in red states than blue states. Hmmmm.
I just don't like feeling heartsick at the end of TV show episode, like I did after the one where the kid was murdered. Maybe I simply tuned in at the wrong time for my first exposure to BB.

I just found Hank on another new TV series called "Under the Dome" (it's what the kids are watching in-between there obsession with Dr. Who, Merlin and Supernatural).
One of the best aspects of Breaking Bad is the transformation of it's characters. I've evolved from being very sympathetic to Walter White to wanting his demise over the past few seasons. At the same I've felt the exact opposite for Jesse.
This has to be one of the top 5 TV series of all-time.
Absolutely top 5. As Gilligan said - he's taking Mr. Chips and turning him into Scarface. Wonderful atypical story arc since everything else flows the other way.
Gratuitous violence actually is not part of the show guys. I can't think of anything in this series that was gratuitous. It's all very methodical. All scenes have a place and purpose. Even the tv people are watching in the background foretells what's happening or has a place in the storyline.
Excellent show.

From the IMDB Parents' Guide:
[SPOILER]Vince Gilligan comments on violence in the show.Violence & Gore
Violent Content: (9/10)
Many people are shot throughout the series, some at point blank range, and often there is very graphic results (blood sprays and splatters, occasional gore, visible bullet holes, etc).
Several corpses are melted throughout the series, and these scenes are very disturbing. Some of these scenes can be very gory and graphic.
A man is strangled to death (hard to watch, but generally non-explicit).
While a man tries to break open a stolen ATM machine, his wife pushes it over onto him, crushing his head (very hard to watch but not extremely graphic, moderately explicit).
A man has his head cut off brutally (VERY graphic, and the head is seen several times).
A bomb goes off, killing several men and blowing the legs of a man off (Very brief, but somewhat graphic).
There is a non-detailed plane crash.
Many rough beatings and fighting throughout the series.
A woman overdoses on heroin, chokes on vomit in her sleep, and dies (disturbingly realistic, extremely graphic but not bloody or gory).
10 people are killed in a montage. They are stabbed, beaten, and burnt to death (this is one of the bloodiest, most shocking and graphic sequences in the entire series, VERY explicit).
An SUV runs down two men very suddenly (not very graphic, but it is violent).
A man slits another man's throat with a box cutter (another bloody and extremely shocking and graphic sequence).
After an explosion, we see a man walk away with half of his face blown off. He then falls dead (very graphic, but somewhat unrealistic).
A man places a defibrillator in his mouth and over his heart and kills himself non-graphically.
Some other violent situations throughout ranging from mild to moderate.
NOTE: Violence is not constant and many episodes will go by with very little to mild violence. However, there are infrequent instances of extremely shocking and graphic violence.

I'm just pulling everyone's chain. It's the contrarian in me. I promise to watch the show. Maybe even tonight.
