New Season?

7 episodes is more like a tease than a season. Have they shot the next season? Or must there be deals made at the networks first?

Am I the Only Recovering Meth Addict Out There?

I've really enjoyed the series because it shows me my "bad old days" and I'm glad I'm not there anymore. A friend asked me if Breaking Bad is realistic. Pretty much. Ya gotta have cajones to cook and distribute, for sure. Then if you get a stupid tweaker for a partner, it's gonna go against you big time.

I think this series would be good for older kids to watch so they could see for real what they are getting themselves into, and not be pampered by some "After School Special" version.

I LOVED the "Mormons as killer bikers" episode, except, you only feel that scared of the Mormons coming, you don't hallucinate quite that badly. Though I never had anything as pure as the tweaker had, nor as large a quantity.

I pray they have the series on again. Well written, well acted, and entertaining is a rare commodity on TV. This show has it all.

Dreaming of Season Two

Just for fun, as we WAIT FOR CONFIRMATION (sorry...that's me getting impatient) of a second season, how about a lil' viewer speculation and or fan wish lists.

To encourage plenty of participation I'll make it very easy to play along.

You must:
~Choose four different characters
~Make a prediction or season two wish for all four characters
~Mark each one, next to the name, 'Speculation' or 'Wish' (feel free to do one or both) and keep each thought to a 25 word max.

Example:
HANK-Speculation - Hank will find out about Walt but keep his mouth shut about in exchange for Walt staying quiet on his wife's lil habit.
HANK - Wish - Hank, seeing Walt and Jessie together, will start pressing Jessie on Walt is up to.

Sound like fun?

While I'll need a day or two to mull over my own predictions and wishes I look very forward to reading all of yours as we WAIT FOR CONFIRMATION! (Yeah! I'm still impatient but I want more... AMC should be flattered and pleased we want it that *BAD* ) on a second season of Breaking Bad.

Breaking Bad Episode V - Open Thread

This week's episode followed up on a promise the series made two episodes ago, and gave us a deeper glimpse into Walt's life that could have been. After meeting Walt's old partner Elliott, and his wife Gretchen who we of course recognize as Walt's former love interest, it is now painfully obvious that she is at the center of him losing out on all the fame, glory, and of course money that would have come with a life at Gray Matter. I personally am looking forward to how this little menage came to pass.

Watching Walt and Gretchen's horribly awkward interaction and his heartfelt conversation with Elliott (before, of course, the cancer subject arose) I couldn't help but wonder if Walt regretted the sequence of events that led him away from Gray Matter, and yet towards an extremely fulfilling life and marriage with Skyler. Part of me thought that Walt has every right to be bitter towards his friends' successes, which he should by all rights share. But when I watched the so-called intervention later in the episode, I could really feel the unity and love between these characters. Some part of me knows that Walt wouldn't have it any other way -- cancer, debt, Hank and all.

What did you guys this of this episode?
