The Groundhog Day commercials were pretty funny. I knew something strange was about to happen.
Yes, but it's almost torturous the way it pulls you in only to have to wait a whole week for the next moveThis show
Everybody wins *evil grin*
i just wanted walter to say that skylar made him sell his stock to solidify my hatred for her
on the contrary, i find great depth in jesse's character. didn't start this way but very much an asset.
just watching now, holy . this is an understatement.
, I never watch high quality dramas when they're on specifically because I hate waiting a year in between seasons. I should have put off watching this show until next summer so that I could watch the series all at once like I did with The Sopranos and The Wire.
I just wonder if the hit is going to be put on Hank or on Jesse from Heisenberg. Or if he's successful in killing Jesse but unsuccessful with Hank. Sucks that it's going to be a year to find out.
I doubt Gilligan leaves us unsatisfied going into the second half. I think Mike dies before summer.I just wonder if the hit is going to be put on Hank or on Jesse from Heisenberg. Or if he's successful in killing Jesse but unsuccessful with Hank. Sucks that it's going to be a year to find out.
Kind of refreshing seeing Jesse interact at the dinner table.... reminds me of where his character was early on in the show
Mike is as good as dead for that stunt.
The increased focus on Mike this season has made it clear that they need to give Jonathan Banks all the Emmys. He deserves one for the look he gives Saul after the senior citizen comment alone.
Usually not a huge fan of Saul but he delivered the goods in this episode
LOL @ Irish lawyer pretending to be a Jew.
I surely hope not...The guy is my favorite character.
How I felt about GusI surely hope not...The guy is my favorite character.
EDIT: and Stringer
Stringer over Omar?How I felt about Gus
EDIT: and Stringer"YOU JUST DON'T GET IT, DO YOU?!?"
Omar got killed as the series and his career was winding down though. Stringer went down in his prime.Stringer over Omar?
Thought this was a great episode until the last few minutes.
With Mike's experience, I don't think he makes the mistake of giving Walt any way to escape.
mike's been half measuring it all season
For someone as smart as Mike with him evading the DEA an all, I thought it was re ed for him to just leave Walt tied with a single plastic strap in a room full of random . Didn't think det one through tbh.
The real Jesse finally showed up this season, need more of this. His scenes are always great.
Stringer over Omar?These seem to be the two big deaths in the series that people are bothered by (well, and Bodie), and every time I've had this conversation with friends it seems that the people who watched the show as it aired were bothered more by Omar's death and the people who marathoned the show long after it ended are more bothered by Stringer's death. That's not universally given, of course, but it's a trend that I've noticed.Omar got killed as the series and his career was winding down though. Stringer went down in his prime.
As someone who marathoned, I was definitely more shocked/bummed by Stringer's death just because it was a finished product and I knew I still had two, full, Stringer-free seasons left to watch. As it turns out, of course, the show coped just fine without Stringer Bell, and I still liked those last two seasons. But at the time it happened, Bell had been built up as such a huge character that I couldn't imagine what the remaining episodes would be like without him. In that sense, I think the stakes were higher with Stringer's death.
Omar's death, on the other hand, was shocking more for the particulars of when/how it happened than for the fact that it happened. When you know you're at the last few episodes of a long running series, you expect all the major plot points and character arcs to be sealed off. And when the show is a crime drama, you know that several of those arcs are going to end in death. So in that sense, the fact characters start dropping is less of a surprise in general, but also the "what are they going to do without Omar?" question is less important because it only applied to two episodes. Omar is ultimately gone for a longer stretch of time when he's in New York and in Puerto Rico than when he's dead just because of how the timeline works out.
It's a big leap to make, I think, but perhaps a necessary one. In order to buy that Mike would continue to try and work with him, I think we have to believe that Mike has been genuinely outfoxed by Walt and that he knows it.
