I kind of cringed after the 3rd one. Plus I got my moms to watch it, to try and get her into the show. I think she might have cringed at the sight and sound of Skyler in that scene.Gonna buy the first two seasons to get her to watch it, instead of all those shitty FOX and CBS shows she likes.
This pretty much seals to the deal, for me thinking that its definitely going to be Jesse who kills Walt. I'm thinking AMC/Vince Knows from all the shit that Walt has pulled on Jesse, this is what they want the audience to think. My guess now is that its going to be someone highly unlikely. Someone thats been in the background, as far as getting fucked over by Walt. It'll probably be someone whose watched Walt fuck over someone they love?
Husk.....i mean, bbs. you are a beast!
MUST SPREAD.
ps. holy.fucking.hell.
this is probably the most popping thread around the oontz right now. and i'm not too sad about it.
i agree 100%. jesse is going to kill walter white. there is wayyy too many burns coming off the big bald wolf for him to make it out alive. seems as though jesses gotten it the worst. from a personal side of things and he's definitely going to catch up. i'd say skylar might have a shot if she weren't bat
shit cray herself.
Lurking Hard, Hardly Lurking.

i know. it's just that dude was basically you..in here..before he went m.i.a. you are now the hisenberg of the breaking bad thread. and bbs was gus. only he's probably alive and well irl. not laying in a coffin with his face blown off or anything.

I met the homeboy Schrader today at the grocery store. He had a grip of those mason jars, like the ones grandma makes jam in. I couldn't stop myself crackin up over imagining him havin a setup in his garage makin jam instead of Schradebrau haha.
....Coolstorybro?
I actually wrote 2 hours about how to easily catch a housefly. Because that certain episode was so fucking stupid.
I'll go eat some broken glass now
That episode was about building character and making the story of them more in depth. It was a filler, but some say that was one of the best episodes. This show is so good because of the writing and acting. That episode simply was the epitome of both of those things, proving that the show is the best. If you say that episode sucked, then you got it all wrong. AMC shows are about characters and their stories, and how they're so intricately layered. Not simply about selling drugs and killing people, although thats what makes the show whole. All these things make this show the best don't get me wrong, but its the writing, and the stories, of which the characters portray so well, that makes this show great. Those little things that Walt has done, are all adding up now, which is why the show has such a following. People are eager to see where Walt's going, because they know where he came from. He was the guy that watched his partners girlfriend/ love of his life die simply to benefit him. That episode was about Walt coming to realize what he had done, and how much it hurt Jesse. He was at the brink of telling him. That episode wasn't about a fly, it was much more than that.
"the fly" built the characters to a level of such a severe, erratic stupidity that I semi-consciously disregarded the whole episode as a part of the series.
Acting was great, but still it was just pain to watch it go nowhere. I mean I KNOW that if an episode happens in one room between
two characters, it means the script is all about "building" those characters. It's very obvious, even too much so.
Point is, I like my cinema/TV whole and coherent. The fly stood out from the rest as a low-budget disappointment. You can't just disregard larger transitions, other characters
or just outdoor scenes... ANY RELIEF from the talking heads. At least if you intend to sell the series on DVD and expect people to enjoy the whole season in one session.
Bottle episode or not, it's not an excuse to shit on your own artwork.
Besides, you can kill/inacapacitate an idle housefly rather easily by moving your hand very slowly and very carefully towards it and flicking it with your middle finger.
Obviously you have to suspend the mid finger against your thumb before moving in.
If the target is far away you can use the old rubber band + ruler sniper combo. I actually figured that one myself when I was in 2nd grade. Quite accurate and very deadly.
So basically that's why it was so very agonizing for me to watch a whole episode revolve around this demented swatting drivel.
On a more positive note, The "Hermanos" episode was my favorite with the mexico flashbacks... I was jumping up and down on my chair watching that last scene.
Haha yeah i was too. I've been doing that alot through this series. Especially the last 6 episdoes of the series. I've been watching this season standing up in front of the TV for the whole hour.
Yeah I get what your saying about the fly episode. I guess we just have different views on how we saw it. We can both agree that it was a bottle episode. It stuck out like a sore thumb from the rest of the series. Everything about the episode was different. My guess is this was done on purpose to make people see Jesse and Walt from a different perspective, with the different shots, and dialogue. By far the best bottle episode ever done in any tv series I've seen. Also i came across this which had me thinking as well.
"A few fans complained this episode was Breaking Bad pulling a goatse on us, but that's just wrong. They've done that before for sure (which was the episode where Hank threw Tuco's grill into the river? "Better Call Saul"?), but this wasn't it. "Fly" was advertised as a coming-to-a-head of the skimming Jesse had done. Strangely, it was. Walt caught him red-handed and warned him. What happens from here is anybody's guess, but Walt under Gus is a different Walt, just as Jesse after Jane is a different Jesse. Whether Jesse turns it over or not is a different matter.
I get the feeling "Fly" will end up being remembered as the cult favorite episode.
Do you think they aired this episode against the Lost finale on purpose? A few friends of mine were making fun of Lost and talking up Breaking Bad as a better show, but on a night when BB could've stolen Lost's thunder, it didn't. Maybe that was part of the plan. "Fly," as I said, wasn't even an episode that encapsulated BB. The network could have delayed a few episodes or started airing the season earlier to make a different episode air against the Lost finale, but this is the one. I give credit to the creators, writers, producers, actors and anyone else involved in Breaking Bad a lot, but this was an odd decision. On the other hand, people were talking about BB before the Lost finale and they'll probably be talking about it afterward. The King is Dead, Long Live the New King."
Also, This was one of my favorite scenes from season 3. Kafkaesque
Fly episode to me showed how meticulous Walt is and how he just doesn't give up and accept something when he could do something about it. It's really what he's been about throughout the seasons when he was moving up the crystal meth ladder. Jessie is just the opposite. He was willing to just say fuck it (bitch!) and move on.
@ HUSK - MUST SPREAD REP ON THAT LAST POST LOL!!!!
