Breaking Bad

. Maybe Walt will not die in the end...

[That's Funked Up]

Jessie's going after the money

[JMarkJohns]

LOL those are for flood control. Not sure if that was intentional or not though.

So subversive imagery to let you know a floods a comin'?!

Lady Macbeth, I mean Skylar is an interesting twist.

Jessie's going after the money

possibly true, considering the name of the next episode, and that is where he buried his money.

[Fabbs]

Breaking Bad is boring? You serious? Sopranos had a lot of boring moments. The Wire too. I said it.

Soapranos had a lot of boring moments, yes.
But hardly any boring episodes, except the final season stinker.

As was posted, one needs to see Breaking Bad from the start.

hank his gonna murk meth damon's uncle.

Yeah...Just like that "Confessions"episode...

Maybe that's the name because Jesse(in the desert) and Walt(pressured by Jesse's meth/Lydia) will cook meth again(Jesse's idea to make Walt come back and catch him)...

[JMarkJohns]

Anyone have any theories on Marie's admission to searching for untraceable poisons to kill some anonymous male who betrayed her like a cuckquean, the fact Walt has ricin, the fact Walt needs Hank gone, and the fact Walt slumps his shoulders after retrieving the two-thirds filled vile in the flash forward, almost as if he has strong bad memories tied to such a small item?

I think it's possible Hank gets poisoned, Marie gets blamed (computer records)/Walt confession DVD.

Her ambiguous betrayal banter could just as easily point to Hank as it could Walt.

A sign of good writing, just like with movies

What we do know is Walt def makes a trip back to the desert. And it looks like something happens that makes him panic and want to get the out of town

Just finished season 4. It's grown on me, I've enjoyed it a lot, but I'll need to see how it all ends up before I can jump on the "greatest series ever" bandwagon----so far it doesn't touch The Sopranos. Took me a while to find likeable characters but I look forward to scenes involving Hank or Mike and especially Saul, I think he's my favorite. Don't think I've ever known a character who suffers quite as much as Jesse though

Yeah Jesse's pretty much the Emo King.

[leemajors]

Sam and Dean have Jesse beat easily on the suffering front.

I think this may have been discussed already, but don't feel like searching the pages, but which character did you find likable on The Sopranos?

Oh so many! Tony, Christopher, Carmella, Paulie, Silvio, Bobby, Adriana; the ones I didn't care for were Uncle Junior, Dr. Melfi and Tony's kids. Of course I hated Janice and their mom.

[HarlemHeat37]

I would rank Sopranos ahead, as well, tbh..

I love Breaking Bad and it's on my elite tier, but one of the primary reasons I have it behind The Wire and Sopranos is the number of key characters, tbh..subjective opinion, as this isn't important to everybody, but personally, I enjoy following numerous characters on a show, rather than focusing on 3-4, tbh..

Breaking Bad focuses primarily on Walt and Jesse's affairs, with the occasional Skyler and Hank storyline..there's no surprise killing element, as the viewer knows the show wouldn't kill off a main character in the early seasons, it wouldn't make sense..

Breaking Bad's legacy will benefit greatly from being a "White" show, tbh..from a strictly superficial perspective, ignoring the intricacies and genius of the shows, the Wire was an urban show that focused primarily on the Black community, and the Sopranos focused mainly on the Italian culture..Breaking Bad is a show about middle-class White people and focuses on the "Whitest drug" in meth, tbh..

[Proxy]

I'm still thinking Walt fakes his death... and I'm thinking the M60 and ricin is him coming back for jesse

I didn't find any of those characters likable. Tony was a murderous fat with a c*nty at ude who'd get pissed at the smallest and fly off the handle. Christopher was a re woman-beater junkie. Carmella was an overemotional drama queen who was nagging someone in 95% of her lines. Paulie is a sick twisted two-face who kept going behind Tony's back even though Tony kept advancing him through the crew. Silvio wasn't an interesting enough character to like or not, I guess. Bobby was count to potato stupid. And Adriana, the snitch ? Working for the feds over a small coke possession charge? LOL, she got what she deserved.

What I loved about The Sopranos was that the writers didn't try to make you like them. They weren't portrayed in a sympathetic light like Michael was in The Godfather 1 or Vito in The Godfather 2, for example. They were idiots who could only survive by force. It's the same reason I loved Goodfellas. Everyone in Goodfellas is a low-life and you just want them to all die; especially because they think they're so sophisticated because they live n*gger-rich.

[redzero]

I agree that most of the characters on The Sopranos aren't likable, but I still like Bobby and post-dementia Uncle Junior.

Those were all my favorite qualities

This scene proved Bobby was too dumb to live tbh

[baseline bum]

Kind of blows my mind to see David Chase could write such an amazing series in The Sopranos without having a single sympathetic character that anyone should care about. I especially love that all signs point to Tony being killed in a power grab by Patsy. LOL Meadow probably gets capped too, standing right in the gunman's escape path.

[Phillip]

seriously

women should just shut up. they are stupid as a pile of goat .

[redzero]

This scene proved Bobby was too dumb to live tbh

"He's the hair apparent."
"Remember Pearl Harbor" in reference to a Korean.
"The Chinese Prince Matchabelli"
"They were all meat eaters"
"penissary contact with her Volvo"

Tony, Chris, and Paulie are dumbasses, too, if we're going by stupid comments.

[Joyrider]

imo, will hit the fan in a big way tonight. I see a character death and the nazis showing up in a big way. I'm expecting one of the best episodes of the series, tonight.
