I picked "Grilled" because there was so much tension while the guys were in the house with the crazy uncle in the wheelchair.

default userpic

Peekaboo, because I love the part about Jesse being trapped with the addicts and that little kid. The ATM scene was great, too

default userpic

4 Days Out is one of the best television episodes of all time. it had everything i loved about the show

user-pic

Episode 9: "Four days out": Without a doubt was one of the Funniest episodes of the entire series. Walter masterminds a meth cooking marathon, which turns out to be a close call with Death in the middle of nowhere. During their time together in the desert, Jesse and Walt manage to produce 40 pounds of Meth while testing Walt's tolerance level for Jesse's wise cracking antics.

user-pic

"Peekaboo" for the beautiful relationship that devloped between Jesse and the little boy, much of it expressed without words. Aaron Paul's best scenes of the season.

user-pic

Episode 12: "Phoenix". For the ending alone. I stood in front of my TV long after the credits had finished, digesting everything I had just seen. Truly devastating. Brilliant, but devastating.

user-pic

I would have to choose the first episode though all were outstanding and the reason being is because it was the first episode of the second season, meaning it wasn't canceled after the first. Its a great show and it has been recognized as such. Aaron Paul should have won the Emmy also...

default userpic

"Peekaboo," for the scenes between Jesse and the boy. Brilliant and so very moving; brought the show to an entire new level for me.

default userpic

Episode 13: "ABQ"

Skyler finally telling Walt off was some of the best television. It was the first time her character was actually very good.

user-pic

"GRILLED" would have to be my favorite episode.....You were on the edge of your seat from the start to the finish!!!!!!! So much intensity from every actor!!!!

default userpic

I chose "Phoenix." The scene in which Walt lets Jane die is one of the most powerful, shocking, "I-can't-believe-it: etc. scenes in TV history.

default userpic

I liked "ABQ" because it tied previous episodes together and made a perfect ending for the season!

default userpic

I picked "Better Call Saul", because that was the first one I ever saw. Mad Men had recorded over and I found myself watching the show wondering if it was a movie. It was so good!!! I set it up to record from then on. Now I'm watching the first season and hoping the first half of the second season comes out on disc soon.

default userpic

Episode 12: Phoenix. The ending left my mouth agape. I was absolutely stunned.

default userpic

I chose "Better call Saul" because I really like the character of Saul. It also showed the true innocence of Walt, yet showed that he will do what it takes to peddle meth.

user-pic

I had no choice but to pick "Phoenix" for my favorite of the season. If served the purpose of showing us how committed Walt is to making his dealings with Jesse work. He also shows that he cares so much about Jesse and his well-being that he would even let Jane die to keep Jesse on the right track.

Very powerful scenes and a very gripping episode.

default userpic

"Grilled" is my favorite episode in season 2 because of all the suspense and action Walt and Jesse dealt with at the house with Tuco and his uncle. This episode also set up the story of a second cell phone which added to the distrust Skyler had for Walt.

user-pic

Negro Y Azul is my favorite hands down. The opening scene was just great and the scene with Danny Trejo was hilarious.

default userpic

The reason I love this show so much is because every single episode leaves me with my mouth hanging open in awe. Just when you think they can't top themselves, you watch the next episode, and the next and the next.... Because of this, I can't rightfully choose a favorite episode from season 2 but I will say that episode 6, "Peekaboo" definitely grabs your attention with Jesse, the young boy and the strung out couple.

default userpic

Favorite Episode of Season 2? Gotta be "4 Days Out" if just for Jesse's line "Wire! Yeah...Wire". It also showcases some of the best acting in the series as well, especially when Walt was coughing up blood.

default userpic

My pick is "4 Days Out" I got this overwhelmingly desolate, 'No Exit' feeling from Walt. He went thru so much, goes for broke, essentially, and he comes back and he finds his disease is no longer for certain terminal. The scene when he punches the papertowel dispenser broke me.

default userpic

Is 'grilled' the one where walt blows up suko's office? That's my fav for sure

default userpic

I picked Grilled. The tension in the old shack was unbelievable. The whole season was great, but having the season start off like that really set me up for the year. Amazing. This is my favorite show on TV.

default userpic

I pick Phoenix. It had the most shocking end of the season, I believe.

default userpic

I'd have to say Grilled. Just because of how unnerving the entire episode was from start to finish.

default userpic

Pikaboo is definitively my favorite episode because we can see Jessie in a new light

default userpic

I voted for Better Call Saul for two reasons...

1) The intro is amazing! Badger's sense of humor provides levity to the already tense circumstances of the drug deal, as does the apparent innocence of DJ Qualls character. It's so loose that you know something isn't quite right, but you have to wait to see what's wrong. It's enthralling!

2) Bob Odenkirk is absolutely perfect as the sheisty lawyer. The show was already really good at injecting humor into a really, really dark plot-line. I feel like every show needs a little comedy, no matter how dark. Saul just adds that much more humor, while still having the slimy and servile nature that seamlessly inserts him into the story.

default userpic

"Better Call Saul"...for some reason my first submission didn't go through!!!...so I now I have to shorten it. Two reasons: the intro is enthralling and Bob Odenkirk is hilarious.

default userpic

"Down" because my son is in it - (I HAVE to pick that one)! Also because it was hilarious to see Jesse get so "blue". After that it would be a tie between "Grilled" and "Phoenix", for the sheer tension that both of those episodes portrayed!

default userpic

I'm surprised no one said Episode 11: Mandala. We must have watched the scene 5 times between Walter and Gus at the restaurant. Great scene, great acting and very tense.

user-pic

Episode 8: "Better Call Saul":


great for "Breaking" in newbies..


they are hooked after watching it


default userpic

Episode 13: "ABQ" is so very emotional. the best.

default userpic

Grilled-It was just too good with Uncle Tio and his bell. A close second was Better Call Saul.

default userpic

It's really hard to say, but I'd have to say "4 Days Out". It really shows the two at their lowest. It also showcases some of the best acting from Aaron Paul. When he starts suggesting ways to escape the desert, I thought it was just brilliant. Everything on the show is just so believable, and this really proved that once again.

default userpic

Episode 8: "Better Call Saul" is my favorite! Saul Goodman is a such a great character and a great addition to the show!

user-pic

Peekaboo

When Walt finally gets the chance to tell Gretchen "F@ck you," it's another turning point for him.

"Grilled" All I can says is . . . Ding!

default userpic

Episode 6: "Peekaboo" because of the scene with the pinball machine and the way Jesse helps the sad little kid stuck with meth head parents, excellent acting!

default userpic

An edited scene derived from my favorite follows>>>> " I want my DVD bitch!" haha. Money would be nice too. Definately love the way Jessie shows ethics when it comes to raising kids, but hes not going to let that get in his way of collecting what he deserves!

user-pic

"Grilled".

default userpic

Episode 12: Phoenix was my favorite. The tension really ratchets up when Walt heads to Jesse's house after being told that the deal is on.

I must say 1st of all that every episode was brilliant. Usually in a series there are some weak story lines. Not so, season two, Breaking Bad. But I digress, #1.) Peekaboo: Seeing the emotional layers of Jessie P. peeling back with his relationship with the meth addicts little boy was amazing. Aaron Paul should have won the emmy for that show alone.
#2) Phoenix: Brian Cranston could have won his second emmy with the last scene. Just brillian acting, and not a word spoken. Congrats Mr. C.
#3) ABQ: Crack house, Mr. White going inside searching for Jesse, finding him, holding his head in his arms, and Jesse beginning to sob because of the grief from losing his love Jane. So realistic!

user-pic

"Mandala" was the BEST!! The race against time at the end was too much!! SO MUCH suspense and excitement! Love that Gus and Walt are like these two seemingly mild-mannered guys leading these odd double lives -- these characters are totally fascinating!!

default userpic

Gotta go with ABQ. I loved the change and promise that Jane offered to Jesse, both positive and negative. You have to enjoy the moment of commiseration between Walt and Jane's dad about parenthood... a bittersweet laugh if there ever was one, given how the episode ends. And of course, it's just a shocker in more ways than one. Where will Walt's journey end? Is it worth it?

default userpic

I picked "Seven Thirty-Seven" Tuco was a great psycho character, gonna miss him!

default userpic

I really enjoyed "Peekaboo" Jesse's interactions with the little boy were really touching, and it really showed jesse's true personality.
