Ok - I'm trying to be nice ... but what the hell are you trying to say?

I'd like to see this show go to it's logical conclusion. But I'd hate to see it overstay it's usefulness.

I'd rather have a punch-in-the-gut ending than have the series drag out endlessly boring me to death! I don't mind a good kick in the nutz. As long as it's worth it.

If ya know what I mean...

Ya true. But I guess I am getting to the point where its wearing out its usefulness get me? Slow proggression is boring me and a need for an ending is keeping me.

Always have been a movie watcher. Hence why I watch AMC. Great thing about movies, they end in two hours. Not 3 years later. LOL

I saw the episode and I was nervous about which two bodies were outside the house...Skylar, Walt Jr., or maybe even Walt himself and Jesse what a trip that would be! Skylar is getting on my nerves acting cute and wearing those low cut blouses in front of her boss and crying, oh boo hoo, anyway, she's getting sickening, and by the way, when are they ever going to get more into the story about her HeLLO Baby coming up???!! But at least I am glad Jesse has a girlfriend, and her Apology Girl art card was beautiful!! Once again, a great episode, just getting nervous about the end of this season. By the way, there is going to be a Season 3 right??

1) I personally have never seen a show like this one. Therefore, I don't think you can hold it to the same standards as others. You get what you get and while it's fine to want "more", it may or may not happen the way you want. I like it the way it is.

2) I absolutely agree with Unforgiven's second sentence, but since I don't have nuts, I will respectfully disagree with his third.

i totally disagree with having to wait a year for the next season.i mean amc has turned me intc a breaking bad junkie.its hard to wait 6 days for the next episode.

The reason for the wait between season 1 and season 2, was there was a Writers strike in Hollywood, remember the first season was cut short.

The possibilities for this show are interesting.
Could it become a decade-long dynasty such as "Bonanza" in the 60's?
Episode 10 last night was pretty good.

i def hope they have a few more seasons..i think 2-3 more wud be good cuz after that i think the premise wud get old...all i know is last nites show was sorta lulling along and made u think walt was just gonna go back to normal life and then the last 2 minutes showed you his darker side..thats y this show i think is soo unique...alot of the time w/ other shows u can predict how the episode is gonna go...as for the body bags i think its gonna be hanks wife and walts son as part of a retaliation for the dea getting involved(remember mexico w/ bomb) and walt might start to step on peoples toes or jesse is starting to be a methhead again...but overall this show and the shield are the two best shows ive seen in past ten yrs..

While I'm all for the eventual logical conclusion of a show, I fail to see the point of wrapping it prematurely for the sake of keeping it short for the sake of keeping it short and to the point of the show's original premise...

Season 1: Introduce characters. Build Plot.
Season 2: Expand on plot. Finish plot. End series.

Let's cookie-cutter that for every series produced henceforth and see how well they do. That is basically what you're saying, isn't it? No, it's not. What you're saying, to paraphrase, is this: "Man, I am sooooo bored. I like this show but ugh! They should just wrap up the series already." You're bored, I get it. I've stopped watching shows in the past for the very same reason. But, you're just you. We however outnumber you by a great deal. "We" being those of us who have the patience to grit our teeth and wade through the slow points in the story line.

While I sympathize with your boredom, there is so much more to Breaking Bad than a basic "Walt finds out he has cancer. Walt needs money for the family. Walt hooks up with Jesse to cook meth for said money. Walt goes into remission and doesn't need to cook anymore. The end." plot. Each character has their own sub-plot that plays an integral part in the overall plot.

Hell, even the introduction clips have me waiting and wanting for lots more. What's the deal with all the stuff in the evidence bags? Why in one episode were Walt's glasses bagged intact while half a dozen episodes later, same glasses but missing a lens and seriously mangled frames? And of course the S2E07 intro: "...Talkin' 'bout some "Heisenberg" ... But that homie's dead ... He just doesn't know it yet..." So much story there to tell.

There's a whole lot more to this show than what we've seen to date and I, for one, plan on seeing it through to the end. Be it one more season, or ten. Frankly, Breaking Bad is what Weeds should have aspired (and failed so miserably in the process) to be.

dudes

what a fabulous show
when the dude was busted on the bus bench a couple of weeks ago was classic
whats up with the body bags ?
and who in the hell w3ants to hose a impregnated
woman ? that sleeze
shes as bad as him

toco was the BEST !

I LOVE this show. Is there going to be a Season 3? Does anyone know for sure?

Yes, there will be a third season. I simply can't imagine this show ending, but I guess I really mean to say I can't imagine HOW they'd end it. As wild and as wacky as the twists and turns this show takes, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it were to end someday (hopefully not for at least 5 years!) with some bad guy or somebody they pissed off with making the blue meth, just simply coming out from a corner of a building and blowing away Walt and Jesse with a sawed off 12 gauge. The final scene would be both of them dead lying pools of their own blood.

thats 3 bodies in the bags one on the left 2on the right i think walt jr left skyler and esmerelda on the right well thats what marie called her.... wow this is awesome i hang on the edge of my seat and stand up often viva la bb

Its not just about being bored. I am not completely bored anyway. Its about taking a good story too far. Ok so he's in remission. What now, are they gonna cure him? Then what? He becomes a meth dealer for good? Or untill his house gets blown up. Which is where the hints are leading me. Every good book has an ending. The original plot has a man with little for choices for his family when facing death. Remember he had weeks to live. I think part of us all expected it to be a great mini series. Personally To beat the plot to death for more seasons and more money would be a crime greater then cooking the meth itself. I agree with a few of the coments, plot is starting to lull. Its not just me. I want the great ending, the great begining promised me. I don't care who dies. I don't like fairy tales. That was my point. Simply put. Stop beating the dead horse. Drag him off and burry him already. :)

But the horse isn't dead yet.

This is the story of a decent guy turning bad, albeit slowly, and the consequences on his soul, personality, family, life. That doesn't happen overnight, and the ripple effect of his turning bad can't be shown quickly - there are too many elements affected, to use a pun.

They will all be infected by his choices, and in turn, what impact is it going to have on them? What kind of choices are they going to make? The show is uncovering all the consequences of each bad choice Walt makes, and in turn what it does to him and to those around him.

That's going to take a while to show how a person goes from good to bad, and for us to really appreciate and understand how it could happen to somone who was so far removed from bad, that it was unimaginable. The series is literally giving us: Imagine the unimaginable which can't be done in a few episodes with so many characters.

It usually takes a lifetime for a person to become thoroughly bad and heartless. With Walt it will be a few years - actually pretty quick after living 50 years as Mister Niceguy.

And Walt wasn't you're equally good/bad type of person. He was Mister Rogers good! That is quite a reversal of someone's humanity and principles.

Very well put Jamm54!! Kudos to you!

Hey bring it on! Being an ancient 62 now, I Know from a life time of personal experience that "Murphy's Law" has no time limit! I can't wait to see where the glimpses into Walt's very dark, (angry power) personality episodes go! As I saw written recently, this isn't a show for happy campers. So those that choose old westerns, bail out, me I'm along for the whole very intensely edgy ride. Snickering all the way!
Never been a TV series anything like this anywhere before!

Not so ancient, Cretin, I'm a close 55 running right behind you. LOL

I figured the "54" was your birthyear!

Kind of close . I first went to the forum on MadMen last year when I was 54 (or it could either be the year I was born 1954). My moniker is my initials ja and mm for MadMen. My first name is Jan, and even though I was born in January - no, I wasn't named for the month (thank god) - LOL. Short 'n sweet - Jan.

And I can't believe I'm 55. I still feel like a kid inside.

Am always curious, what peoples' profile names mean...unless it obviously, their name! ha ha!
LMAO...use to think bigfreakinnaz meant, "Big Freak in AZ." so, that's why I mentioned about living in Arizona, in a previous post!
jamm: Know what you mean, about still feeling like a kid!
My mental age, must be around 5!! Hah!
I can't wait, til the cartoon version of BB, comes out!
Ha ha!! Ha...ha...ummmm...yeah. =\

So, anyway...

David: Maybe they'll come out with a Breaking Bad movie! That'd be great!

Actually, my name is Mike, and I chose my username because I'm a big boy (6' 5" - 265Lbs.), and "naz" is my nickname a lot of my friends call me, because that is part of my last name.

I know how you feel jamm54, I'm 51 years old, but I feel (and look) like I'm in my late 30's!

diksee: What IS that a picture of on your moniker? It looks like the gopher from "Caddyshack" with a cigarette in it's mouth!

****Sorry to be off-topic, in this thread. =( *****

Wow!! bigfreakinnaz! You're 1' 3" taller than me! And, you must take excellent care of yourself, to look 30-ish!
My Mom has always said, people would'nt have to look their age, if they only took better care of themselves!
So, naturally, she's constantly reminding me, to take good care of myself! =) Yes, Mother!!! hah!

LMAO!! Love that crazy gopher!!
But no, that's a rapping ferret!! ha ha! My daughter used to have a ferret & they're extremely mischievious...as I can be! LOL ;) (Actually, "smart-ass" describes me more...but, it's all in fun..)
It's been my avatar, for a few years...as well as my username, to help other people "recognize" me & either think,
"Yayyyy! It's diksee!" OR..."Ugh! There's that dumb-ass again!!" ha ha...ha...oh well! =)
The only place, I ever used my real pic, was MySpace...*sigh* You have to overlook, that stupid remark, under my avatar there...it was done, as a joke.
There's a LONG story behind why, it's not been corrected...it involves a lesson about NOT giving your passwords out, to anybody, even if you trust them. Oh well.

Oops...actually, that "but, it's all in fun.." is'nt entirely accurate. =( Because, if someone is continually mean to me, I tend to get smart-alecky back. Not real mature, of me..huh?
Did'nt want to make it sound like, I was the "perfect little angel" all the time! hah!

bigfreakinnaz Well, I wish I looked in my thirties (more like forties), but I know I can pass for younger (at least that's what people who are lying to me say - maybe it's only a year). LOL

Wow, Mike, 6' 5"! That is tall considering my brother is 5' 4", I'm 5' 1", my dad was 5' 9" (the tall one!) and my mom was 4' 10". I guess we were the Stump Family.

At 55, I can really understand midlife crisis now more than ever, and what Walt may be feeling. It's going by in nanoseconds these days, and all I really want to do is play, because what else is there? Who gives a rat's ass about career, things or whatever - time's running out. Playtime, the most important time!

Isn't it funny that the cure to a lot of guy's midlife crisis is buying a convertible, preferably red? Walt White's cure is a white RV! Mine is a robin egg blue 1975 Cutlass.......

I wish I could play more, but not till I become more "financially independent"! But I'm not gonna be doing any "Breaking Bad", getting an RV, and start cooking meth, or anything like that!

Don't know if you saw a post I made on another subject, but recently the cops here busted this guy that had a full meth lab in a Dodge Caravan! He would drive up into the mountains to cook much like Walt and Jesse went out in the desert. Wonder if he watched BB?

Boy, that's cooking in a cramped space with little ventilation or the doors had to be wide open for all to see, and the guy practically on his knees to do it. Uff da, desperate.

Actually, BB is quite timely as far as financial desperation (tho most people aren't being pushed over the edge because of health reasons and financial like Walt).

If I was financially independent,it'd be the classic car! Or at least a convertible (since my brother got all the convertibles from my Dad and I didn't growing up). If I had my druthers, it would be golfing ALOT, going to the horse races, and traveling. Maybe taking up trout fishing again for good measure, and a monthly poker game with friends (which we used to do for about 5 years a decade ago - 'course we ate more than we bet).

Another one was a couple years ago here where these guys had a huge mobile home way up in the woods in the middle of nowhere to make meth. the only way the cops found it was by accident during a routine air patrol. The location was so remote, only ATV's could get to it. When asked how they managed to transport and put this mobile home in such a middle of nowhere place, the guys said they totally disassembled it, every nut and bolt, transported it all in pieces, and reassembled it where they wanted it at. Freaking amazing what guys will do to make drugs/money!!

It'll be awhile before I can proclaim myself as even CLOSE to being financially independent, thanks to some really stupid decisions I made in the past. You hear people say "If I can only go back in time...", but a really intelligent good friend of mine once said "If you could go back in time and correct your bad mistakes, you may be successful in doing that, but you'll only make other ones on the way back to now." How right is that?

Pretty right, I'd say. Besides we learn from our mistakes (eventually), and the things we do have to deal with - well, there's always a possibility it could've been a worse scenerio.

Tonight's episode (Mandala) just got to me, don't know why. Very upset about Jesse, and how Walt is turning (oh man, and we're only talking about fictional tv characters!).
