Breaking Bad

Talk Forum: What You're Saying

The third episode of Breaking Bad brought new surprises and raised new questions for viewers on our Talk forum.

Pinochet summed up the episode's strengths, saying "The flashback sequence that takes place while Walter and Jesse were cleaning up the mess of the botched disposal was perfect. Walter seemed to be regaining some reason. He knows his actions are wrong. Humanity is more than just the sum of its chemistry."

Speaking of the mess, Lee Kane took quick issue with the camera angle during the mop-up scene, stating that although it was interesting to see the clean-up from underneath, it broke the fourth wall for him: "It makes me realize it's a show," he said. "So can't say I'm a huge fan of that technique." Geb on the Web disagreed and posited, "More genius by the creators of this great show...Let directors direct and stop being hack critics..."


The forum also heard from argent0000, who claims to be a real-life Mr. White: "Swear to God, my name is Mr. White, I teach high school chemistry, and although I'm not quite 50, I can say that I have experienced something of a mid-life crisis -- although nothing to compared with Walt's "end-life" crisis," he said. I can safely say that we're all hoping the similarities between argent0000 and Walt end there -- and by his own admission, he only went as far as buying a motorcycle.

Finally, the Win a Winnebago competition on the main blog had posters wondering what Walt should admit to Skyler. Shaffce thought he should only mention the cancer, and not mention his second career: "He won't be around much longer to change whatever negative impact it might have on their relationship and thus he will go to the grave as a husband scorned...There are some things better off taken to the grave." iBatman, on the other hand had a darker prediction: "I think Walter should tell Skyler so that she can assist him. Together they can keep their DEA Agent relative off their backs. :) Also together, maybe they can work on getting Walter healthy again by some miracle cancer treatment. Face it Walter, we love you. You're just in the wrong place, wrong time." Stay tuned to the main blog when we'll announce the winner this week, and pose another question for next week's competition.

well written for sure!

got caught up on this show and waiting for episode 4 sunday. It was the previews that interested me. Had no idea what this show was about but its pretty good. Hey how about the brother in law lol. This guy is just down right entertaining. Hes out on a bust and has bad guys hauled up against the wall and he's talking on cell with the wife who's a shoplifter.

I don't believe Walter meant to go this far for the man was just looking to make money to leave behind for his family then everything went wack. But of course, he's dealing with meth dealers and there are no principles in this world. then one thing lead to another and you got a story.

And I didnt trust krazy one bit for we all know this guy has no morals or prinicipals and he will kill Walter. Well his actions from the beginning put him in a no win situation where it was either him and his family dead or krazy. he had no other alternative but to get this guy. i didnt watch that scene nor the scene with them getting rid of remains grossssss.

For me, the brother in law adds some humor into this show and I just crack up whenever he has scenes.
