Hey Silent, As much as I love Salma Hayek, I honestly cannot see AMC getting her on this show. She is just too high Maintenance, and if they were able to, She would not last very long. Cat fights would probably break out all over the set and I don't think Vince wants to get in the middle of all that?

Yeah, if that is true then I think Michelle Rodriquez would be the obvious second choice... She is perfect for this show !!!!
It would be a bold move for Vince.. one that I bet would pay off big time..

Clayton.. if you ever read this, I would be really interested in your take on this?

Right..lets clone more of the boring movies and shows with mediocre stars with cleavage and no brains and throw in lots of violence.....gee, wow.....now we have another series without substance, meaning or uniqueness.

AMC shows 5 MINUTES of commercials for every 10 MINUTES of movie time!

2 minutes of commercials would make a decent ratio. But the way things are, it seems like AMC doesn't respect their viewers and only cares about cashing in on ridiculously long commercial breaks.

Linda - I don't think the crew of BB know the word "boring".. And I also think you missed the point.. They already did have a lot more action or violence as you put it, when they had Tuco... I was mearly proposing that they have more of that type of action and excitement in Season 3... Also, clevage and no brains? I don't think of Michelle Rodriquez that way... besides the clevage, I actually think she is smart, that is how she made it so far in her career.

I think if you had your way, the show would be re-named "Skyler's Creek" or "Alberquerque 90210"... or perhaps "These are the days of Walt's life"

I AGREE WITH LINDA...

I've got to agree with Linda on this one . I'd hate to see BrBa become another show with big names and little substance. I don't watch the show for the action or the big names. I watch the show for the drama and the changing of the human spirit in a very adverse environment. If breaking bad looses that edge and becomes more main stream I'd stop watching it.

Like 24?

Oh wait, I forgot that is a hit TV show.

Tuco was a big name actor, did that hurt the show? or make it less substance?

Was that too much action when Tuco was on the show?

This is my point i'm making... It would be interesting to see how many people would not watch the show because Salma Hayek or Michelle Rodriquez was on it.

You guys love your drama, and I don't have nothing against that... but my point is also that, sometimes when there is a 20 minute scene with Ted and Skyler have a little birthday party and singing songs to eachother, the boredom is painfull... Am I the only one???

Hi Silent:
That's amazing , you read my mind ! When I was writing my last comments I was thinking of 24 ! Cause that's exactly what I'd worry it would end up being like. And saying TV show is a "hit" doesn't mean it's good ... it just means it appeals to a large crowd... and appealing to the largest crowd can mean sacrificing substance with flash.

I'm not saying that's wrong I'm just saying I'd stop watching it. Do I appreciate the action ? Yep but not just for action sake but because of it portrays the dicotomy of Walts situation. In other words we need to see both the Yin and Yang of the situation. i.e. the boring home life and the action.

....ummmm

That is true to an extent... There does have to be some background and some drama to fill it in...

My point is that there WAS more action on BB at times... it would just occassionally get taken over with too much drama...

Be honest with yourself and tell me what was your favourite episode? or part of episode?

I bet your favourite part of season 2 wasn't when Skyler was in a bad mood and gave Walt the cold shoulder for the hundredth time.. or when she brings in some churros to work and Ted likes them... No I bet if you were honest with yourself, you probably enjoyed the episodes more when Walt and Jessie are stuck out in the desert, about to die.. or when Tuco kidnaps Walt and Jessie and contemplates killing them...

Did you stop watching the show when Tuco and Hank were shooting it out? Or when Turtles head blows up? That's all i'm saying.

Hi Silent :
You make some very good points and we might be almost saying the same thing. I think that the show is a very delicate balance between action scenes and scenes of dialog. I think we can both agree that, for this show to be interesting, both are required. Where we differ is you’d like to see a little more action … while I’m concerned that if to much action is applied then it will loose some of the contrast that makes it interesting. Would I watch the show if it was one big dramatic soap opera? No I wouldn’t! But to much the other way and I won’t watch it either. I guess that what makes the writing of this show so good … they’ve been able to balance those two poles quite well. … not perfectly but quite well.

You asked me to be honest what my favourite scenes were … hmmmm very good question… after a few moments of thought I’d say
1) Walt watching Jane die
2) Walt very fist scene of season 1 (i.e. Winnebago chase scene )
3) Walt first meet with Tuco , when he blows up their club house
4) Walt telling Hank to bring the bottle back

Hmmm… interesting for me to look at these scenes and analyze why they’re my favourites. I guess because they are moments when Walt takes a giant step towards Heisenberg.. that , to me, is more action then a scene involving guns. These are scenes where a scared little man faces the fears that has been building up his entire life and kicks them right in the teeth. Could we get that same feeling of bravery from Walt if we didn’t know his boring white bread life ? No! Could we know what’s at stake for him if we didn’t few the action/gun scenes ? No! It’s that balance between the two worlds that make the above mentioned scenes interesting for me. And in turn what makes Walter a worth while character to watch.

True that. I do like your way of thinking.
When Walt blew up Tuco's club house, I thought that was brilliant..
There are some parts like that, that are pure genious, which is why I have much respect for the writers of BB...

I think what I should have probably said from the start, was that drama is okay and doesn't always have to be boring, some drama scenes are exciting like when Jane dies, that was more drama than action... they generally do balance the show very well... I mean I never miss a minute of each episode it is the best on TV.

I just hate (as you can probably tell) too much of that soap opera crap that sometimes ruins good TV shows and movies... Drama, yeah that's okay, if it is done the right way and combined with the right amount of action...

I think to a point every show has to have drama.. I guess from the start, with my opening statement, I was more refering to the balance of drama / action. I think the show is at it's best when it is not leaning more to the drama side of things, that's all.

The age old question action vs. drama. While action is great, on the production end it is way more costly to produce. Drama is needed to add substance and character development to the plot. I believe that the drama with Skyler and Ted with all their whining is a bit to much. Face it most of all women whine, both Skyler and Ted are women, so their scenes together contain to much whiny drama. Breaking Bad is the best show on TV, with great writers. I don't honestly believe that they are going to let the mix get bad.

As great as Raymon Cruz was in his role as Tuco, I have a great idea for a future guest role. I agree with Silent that more involvement with the Cartel would be great, the more Mexico is absorbed into the series the better for the show. Here is my plot that could last about six or seven episodes. You have the head of the Mexican Cartel being seriously ill, he has only two daughters and they both have involvement in the Cartel and are respected because of their father. The two daughter's would be played by Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz. Before every one starts laughing at this idea, there are reasons why they would love working on the show if the timing for the time to do it would work out for them. First, they both have stated that they are best friends and would love to work together again (remember the movie "Bandidas"). Secondly, these are strong independent women who can easily handle some tough action scenes and in the drama scenes they are not whiner's. Thirdly, even though they speak great english, let them speak spanish most of the time (subtitles for us) and when they eventually deal with Walt and Jesse let them speak in broken english. Being able to do the show in their native tongue would be a great incentive for them to appear in some episodes together. Finally, the combo of these two actresses would be captivating for the audience you already have and if promoted right would quadruple your audience just in the hispanic area's all over this country.

This is basically a dream I'm wishing would happen to the greatest show on TV!

Hi Silent:
Don’t get me wrong I like guns and action as much as the next guy, ( in fact I’m an IPSC shooter) , and I agree that they sometimes go a little to long on the soapy scenes. For example my least favorite scene was the Monroe birthday song… little to obvious and a little to long. But I do think the soapy scenes add to the show as well … i.e. the “talking pillow scene”. I just worry that if they start just throwing in more action or more soap , just because it sells, that whole thing will loose some of it’s honesty. All-in-all it sounds like we’re both pretty happy with the mix.

Cheers … Nimrod !

I am not sure what your question is then, Silent. Your main question...and I quote..."Bring in the cartel and Salma Hayek." Salma Hayek has no bearing in this series...how would you bring in her character that would relate to the series??? Yes, I would imagine the Mexican cartel will be brought into Season 3, but Vince will tie it in APPROPRIATELY when its needed for the series. A WELL WRITTEN SCRIPT for a movie, film, show ALWAYS has elements of 1) explaining characterization of each actor and actress, 2) building the drama to a climax, 3) a well thoughtout plot. Those elements are vital to the success of the show, movie, film or series. Throwing cheap shots of high-profile actresses or actors because of their appearance, DOES NOT carry the above elements to make a series unique and successful. The "drama" you find boring is the building blocks for the series and is VITAL and makes sense to the viewer WHY THINGS HAPPEN,why the actor or actress acts out, how the characters interact with each other and build a foundation for the audience to understand the motives of each character. Its that slow, methodical, day by day interaction that leads to a climax, testing how the actor will react after much time has passed.

Vince has balanced the drama along with violence tackfully and appropriately when needed. He will know the best time for drama vs. action...that is why his series is successful and unique and has captured the audience by storm. Thank you Vince for NO MORE CHEESY HOLLYWOOD, CUTESY MOVIES AND HIGHLY VIOLENT ACTION FILMS WITHOUT SUBSTANCE!!!!

Nimrod - ha ha.. I thought the Monroe scene was sooo corny!

Linda - That is why Vince is the producer and not me dear.

And "bring in the cartel and Salma Hayek" is a not a question, it's a statement.

And thanks for the lesson on writing scripts, unfortunately I dozed off while reading it....

While I normally respect your input on these postings, Hank, I have to disagree with a few of your ideas. Bringing in Hayek and cruz.....it counter balances the very core of what Vince is doing for this series...No high profile, in the news and red carpet princesses, but advancing actors and actresses portraying down to earth, every day citizens making a living, raising their children, going to their jobs every day and then whoa, cancer hits Walt, and puts the average life in a quandary. We believe it more when Vince brings in fresh new blood of actors and actresses and their acting is far greater and better than what I have seen on the screen for YEARS! If I was Aaron Paul or Bryan Cranston, I would be insulted that Vince would bring in such lame actresses to bring in more bucks for the series. I am sorry, I can not forsee the Twin latinos, Hayek and Cruz, bringing any substance to the series in Season 3 and makes it a cheap shot. But then, that's my opinion.

Silent...thats why Vince is the genius of this series and you and I are the ones who learn from him! :))))

If I may interject another thought here...I am and always will be an avid film admirer from the classics for many years. Classics do NOT skim on the basic elements needed for a good script writing for a movie, film or series. I applaud Vince for bringing these basic elements back into his series that most movies and films on the screen seem to have forgotten. Movies and fims of today lack so much and think by putting in lots of special effects, graphic scenes of gore and violence along with gratuitous sex, makes a good movie. Thats why those films end up in $3.99 discount store bins for movies that didn't make it at the box office.

Hi Linda... very interesting analysis , I look forward to reading more of your technical analysis on scenes.

Silent..
One more thought on the action scenes. Though most are well done I think they could have done much better with the gun fight between Tuco and Hank. They stayed with the usual classic gun fight between the bad guy and the good guy. The bad guy with much more fire power , in this case an automatic assault rifle , and the good guy with limited fire power, in this case a Glock 22 . If they had equal fire power I would certainly give the advantage to an DEA agent who practices on the range… but an automatic rifle against a semi-automatic pistol !?! Then on top of that they do the classic gun fire at the car door… news flash !!! , rounds will go through a car door like butter. I was disappointed … Vince could have staged something less typical and more creative. Was it exciting ? Yep ! Was it anything we haven’t seen 1000 times before in the classic bad-buy good-guy gun fight ? Nope.

Ehhhhh...nevermind! I was going to say something...BUT...Ehhhh...nevermind. =\

diksee - Its a free for all. Feel free to jump in at any time.

Linduh - Do you realize how Boring your pseudo Intellectual bull shit is? Why do you take everything posted here so Fricking seriously? Why do you take yourself so seriously? Linduh, lighten up why don't you, get a life. This is a TV show we are talking about right? Jeeeze....

One last thing before I sign off. For starters most of the stuff I post here is in Jest, I think most intelligent people reading what I post here have figured that out. For people like Linda who have not figured that out yet, Please refer to the comment posted above.

Well...guess I just lied, cuz I'm back! =) Is my nose growing? hah hah

I think Hayek & Cruz could add to the show, especially with the creative ways, Vince & the writers handle things. Both women are more than just another pretty face, with hot bodies!
As long as they're NOT "man boobs"...what's wrong with a little cleavage? Ha ha ha!!
So, I don't understand how...ohhhhh...nevermind again...

I happen to like the idea, of those two being in the show.

LMMFAO, Hank Jr about the scenes with Ted & Sky!

Like Nimrod mentioned, I felt the "Pillow Talk" scene added to the show. And, the "Monroe" scene kinda went past "soapish"...to sappy. (Although it did showcase Skylers' singing talent...)

While the drama does flesh out the characters more...maybe what we're wanting less of, is the "Reality Show" type of drama?
You know, the "bickering for the sake of bickering" stuff. (But when Walt & Jesse do it...somehow it turns out great!)

I love the episodes when there's non-stop action! Free for all, it is, R.W!
Hey...that reminds me of that Ted Nugent song...

Comment about Comments
I most posts I read on this site ... including some of Linda's. Some of the stuff I write will be probably be viewed as total BS and some won't... isn't that the way it goes for everyone here ?

Something I forgot about, Nimrod...the bullets going through the car door. Maybe, Vince should have done his homework about the shooting scenes and consulted a few experts on guns and ammo. Now that I think about it, Vince has been so careful as to the accuracy of the series, I think he might of slipped up in this department. I don't claim to be an expert on guns, but it did seem to be a little "off" during that shooting scene between Tuco and Hank.

Comment about Comments
I read and enjoy most posts I read on this site ... including some of Linda's . Some of the stuff I write will probably be viewed as total BS and some won't... isn't that the way it goes for everyone here ?

Wow Silent you certainly got allot of mileage out of this thread ! Great question !

I have to agree with you on the Monroe scene with Ted and Sklyer but I get the sense that scene was thrown in as a humorous one...agree....little sappy, but it was funny, but also shows the "suggestive" repor between Ted and Skyler I think will be enhanced more in Season #...as Vince had stated in his interview.

Action vs. drama always brings out the debate....take a look at any DVD store, and compare the aisles of Action/Adventure vs. the Drama aisle...its almost a tie in how many rows of DVD's are made.

LOL Lindas555, I think you may be the queen of the 3.99 bin, your comments in the last few threads have been if anything questionable. One comment you know the very core of what Vince is doing in BB, and then the next your saying he should be doing his homework (seesaw anyone)? Twin Latinos . . . this show needs little people Latinos, fat & skinny Latinos, bald Latinos and Latinos with long hair, even Latinos wearing sombreros . . . a show like BB can never have enough Latinos in it, because more than half of them are going to be killed off. The only way you are going to see a Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz movie in your 3.99 bin is when you switch the price stickers! Also, star Raymon Cruz will be nominated for an Emmy for guest role appearance in BB.

Back again . . . I almost forgot, 40% of Breaking Bad is special effects, just ask Dennis Petersen. Vi Va La tortroise!

Yeah, Silent...ya INSTIGATOR!! Ha ha ha! =D
Seriously, this has been fun!

I have'nt had enough coffee yet, this morning...so I forget...
Did the bullets go through the car door, during the shoot-out scene with Tuco??
I watched an episode of "Mythbusters" where they proved, a person could'nt hide behind a car door...because, the bullets would go through.

LMAO!!! The Bull Shyte gets SO deep, in MY posts...ya gotta wear boots & protective goggles, to read them! Ha ha ha...

Diksee - "LMAO!!! The Bull Shyte gets so deep, in my posts... ya gotta wear boots & protective goggles, to read them" And that's exactly why I love your Postings! You have the right attitude here. :-)

Hank Jr. - I like your attitude also. The same goes for most everybody else except for (Lindas555). Who reminds me of some uptight Liberal Progressive type, who drives a Prius, because she wants to help Al Gore save the Planet from Global Warming or some other Insane Liberal crusade.

OK, I'm done for now. Have to get ready for Jurry duty. I got picked to pull it in Beautiful downtown Compton, Yes that Compton, Home of Gangster Rap and drive by shootings. We'll chat later, See ya...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha *gasp* ha ha ha ha ha ha...

I did not realize what I missed since I was on yesterday! I have to read it again, there was some funny posts on here man!

R.W. you must live closer to my neighborhood if you're doing jury duty in Compton.

I am in a good mood today for sure cause I never win anything and when I got home yesterday I had got a BB hoodie waiting for me, it was dope... thanks Clayton man!!

I agree with you guys, Penelope Cruz and Salma are not all just clevage................................................................................. wait, what was I just talking about? I zoned out for a minute..... oh yeah, they are also talented actresses and Linda, I bet that Aaron and Bryan would be excited about working with them, not insulted.. You do have some good points, but that wasn't one of them..

Oh and yeah, the shootout was kinda typical.. That was definately a good point, I hate it when they do that in movies, like they hide behind a paper thin wall or something and somehow it stops bullets??
They could have played it out a little more, made it look like Hank was going to get shot and somehow he turns the table.

As far as innovative car chases and gun play goes my favourite movie of all time is “Way of the Gun”. The work in that movie displayed that chases and gun play isn’t just dumb brute force but cunning!
I think Vince could learn a thing or two from that movie. As far as the gun fight between Tuco and Hank goes it almost seem like Vince handed the scene over to the FX guys while saying … “do your usual stuff”.

Hey Silent congrats on the hoody … I think BrBa should give out caps to the person that starts the thread that gets the most posts … you’d win again !

Ha ha, thanks!
I thought The Italian Job, had a very innovative car chase.. That was great how they got those mini coopers to do all those crazy stunts.. If Vince was to go innovative like that, I think he should have the DEA chasing Walt and Jessie in the RV !!!
Make it an off-road chase, reminiscent of episode 1-1 and they do something that has never been done.. they drive off the cliff in the RV and land in a river and escape the DEA so that they do not find out how Heisenberg is yet.

DEA vs Winnebago in a chase scene … interesting! I’d like to see Walt outsmart the DEA versus outrun them. Have Walt find a way to use the attributes of the Winnebago against the DEA. For example the Winnebago is large so use that to his advantage. Lead the cops down an alley that gets tighter and tighter until it’s squeezed to point that they’ve blocked the police from getting at them… stop Winnebago and flee scene on foot.

That is a good one too! That would work if they are in the city.. Or they could even use the height to their advantage, they could climb out the sunroof onto a building close by and run on foot.

Dam.. I would love to just write part of one episode!!

Congrats Silent!!! You lucky Son-of-a-Biscuit-Eater!! ;) I'm down-right JEALOUS!!
Kidding! Really, I'm happy for ya!! Bet you're wishing for some cooler weather, so you can sport that Hoodie!! *Grumble-grumble!* You lucky Son-of-a....LOL LOL LOL!

Thank you, R.W! I just had my attitude adjusted, last week...so, thanks for noticing! Ummmm...it does'nt make my ASS look too big, does it??? Hah! ;D

Nimrod & Silent, I was referring to Linda's post, on her opinion that Vince needed to contact experts, before that scene...so was curious, as to what exactly happened.
LOL...I'd make a horrible witness...cuz, I get too caught up, in the excitement & sometimes don't notice a lot of details, of certain scenes. =)

LMAO, Hank Jr. does have some funny posts! He knows how to stick some helluva hilarious observations, in his posts!
(Somehow...I kinda got the feeling, there was the hint/hope, of a three-some involved, with the intro of the Latina Twins...???? ;) Bwa ha ha! *Nudge-nudge & poke-poke!!* Say no more...say no more!)

More realistic gun fight between Tuco and Hank :
Hank says “Jesse Pinkman” while he’s getting out of his vehicle . Hank is standing behind the drivers side door when he realizes it’s not Jesse and that Tuco is pulling out an AR-15. Walt dives into the front seat of the vehicle as Tuco sprays the front of he vehicle with 5.56 mm caliber rounds. The engine block absorbs the rounds from the M-16. Hank, while crouched out of view in the front seat, blindly empties an entire 17 round clip, through his own windshield. Hank’s blind fire keeps Tuco from approaching the vehicle. When Tuco stops to reload Hank jumps out of vehicle while quickly reloading before Tuco does. Hank completes his reload first and double taps Tuco in the chest.

Why jump back in vehicle ? The engine block will stop 5.56 rounds from an M-16 .

Why blindly fire through windshield? Suppressive fire to prevent opponent advancement while waiting for opponent to reload.

Why chest instead of head? Upper chest is just as deadly as head shot but twice as easy to hit

Why Double Tap? Offensive training always involves double hits … just to make sure your opponent stays down Note: A Glock 22 can cycle and deliver 4 rounds per second.

With this scenario we are seeing Hank using his training and wits to beat superior fire power ! He is seeking adequate cover , laying down suppressive fire and then using speed of reloading a hand gun to beat out an less experience person attempting to reload a rifle.

Want to see how quickly a handgun can be reloaded … check this video out !!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJVoc5uJ2e4
Note: this is a handgun quite similar to Hanks … i.e. Semi-Auto .40 cal handgun

Opps ...in last posting I said "Walt" dives into front seat .... sorry ... I meant Hank dives into front seat.

It would have been interesting too, if they both ran out of bullets.. Then what?
Hank would have to resort to hand to hand combat..
Or Tuco could have just jumped in Jessie's car and tried to run Hank over.
I would like to see a car chase through the desert.

Silent - Congrats on the Hoodie! I see that you, Hank Jr., Nimrod and R.W., also won a BB Tee shirt for all those witty comments. R.W.? Oh yeah, that's me.

Darn you all, Drama is action, Man, the way Walts eye's and face works, total action. Says everything withen split nano seconds, going from wrinkle to wrinkle. Crows feet, laugh lines, pok marks. Thank heavens for Bryan doing this pricise form of acting. Don't forget that acting is action. My favorite car scene of all time does come from the French Connection. But the eye's have it overall. I mean and you all know this, if it warn't for the wonderful action accross all of these actors faces we wouldn't follow this show. Shoot, if there's a car chase, plane crash, train derailment, it would mean nothing without the people reaction's. So do I want a good car chase, sure, but it must include the actors aka people's reactions, just like this show alway's has. I mean the RV in the desert, the RV in the towyard and Jesse bustin it out of the towyard. Priceless! Also Jesse fallin through the portopotty! That was action beyond belief! Pretty sure that Aaron didn't fall into a hole of blue, green,brown shit in reality. But hot dang, it was actionable and funny in a truly yuckky way. The world of CGI works in mysterios ways. This show is pretty darn close to perfect. Anyone can see Selma on Ugly Betty, a good show that's promoted to have lots of famous folks on it. As for cartel stuff, there are plenty of great actors out there who work without being famous nor rich. I would love to see more of them. Shoot, I would love to see me! That would really top off my year! I've yet to recieve my cap, I know its in the works, but I think I have a pretty great face. An award for being one of the bestest assistant stage manager's ever for my local Kenosha Lakeside Player's from 8 years ago. I also still have 2 teeshirts with my name one it at 14bux apiece. Of course both in black with white printing. Unfortunatly Fruit of the Loom tee's. Dang, those tee's never fit me right, and they're made in friken Kenosha! So I say these people who produce, direct, edit, Hmmm....what have you, do really well. Make's everyone think.
Tweeds

Amen, tweeders!

Hank Jr. mentioned this, too, but TV productions rarely have the budget to pull out all the stops with regard to what most people consider "action". But there's a lot of smaller scale action going on all the time and drama sets the action up. You can't just toss in a few explosions here and there without some reason for it!

And, finally, what do you call two planes colliding and sprinkling debris (including the infamous teddy bear) all over, chopped liver?

It amuses me, how some people mis-interpurite an opening statement, to mean something that they want it to mean..
I never said there was NO action.. I was asking people if they thought there should be MORE action.

MORE and NO...

NO = there is no action at all.

MORE = means more of something.

Class dismissed...

Oh and BTW.. The 2 planes colliding was in fact chopped liver...

Reason is, they could have much more dramatic effect if they had shown people looking out the window and seeing the other plane about to hit them, then the explosion in slow motion from the inside out... then it would have been great if we could have seen the explosion a little closer than 20 miles away.
I see they also toned it down to where there was no body parts anywhere to be seen.

Well said Dr. K!!!!! I concur completely!!

Vince did an excellent job of showing the plane crash tactfully without a lot of excessive gore. He simply suggests a suble way of showing some bits debris, along with close body bags after the crash and leaves the viewers own imagination to decide the falling carnage. Vince gets his point across very well with this method....It makes the audience think.

Body parts is working in a packing plant for chopping up animals for meat and gore is also an autopsy, opening up the human body, scooping up body parts off the exam table.. that is reality and gore....i,e =body parts. What is the point of a close up showing body parts flying out of the sky??

Thanks Dr.K. As for the plane colliding action, that was brilliant in so many ways. The CGI was real pretty for a disaster. No doubt about that. Also the pink teddy bear in the pool had us all going from the second episode as to what that meant. Then all the clues in the episode title's, the hasmat team, that we all thought were CSI teams. The mystery in this show is wonderful. Silent, I don't think we misinterpreted your more action question. You want to see more smash them up scene's. You want to see more people's reaction's while watching the plane debris pulverizes and burns them to bits. We'll okay, that's your choice and preference. Me personally, I loved watching Walt sitten next to the pool after Skylar dumped him, then looking up in the air and seeing the teddy bear plop into the pool. Here he was being all sorry for himself, and a WTF BANG, then a pink teddy bear WTF PLOP'S into his pool. He know's that people have died instantly and horribly, amoungst them a little girl who was someone's daughter. Just like his baby girl, and he know's that he's responsible for Jane's death, another man's little girl. So no, that plane crash was not chopped liver perse. Its alot of human liver sausage now, or braunsuagger, the smoked form of liver sausage, since those people are pretty smoky and crispy now, literally.
So CLASS is in session. Didn't slow motion action go out with the 6 Million Dollar Man?

Don't be a silly sausage

And Linda - If you love Vince so much, why don't you just marry him?

Silent, your statement, ".....And Linda - If you love Vince so much, why don't you just marry him?..." sounds like something that would be said back in Junior High many years ago. LOL You can be funny, Silent.

Yes, I admire Vince and his staff for such brilliant writing in creating this series we all seem to enjoy because for the most part, movies and shows made in today's world is such crap and meaningless ramblings from badly written scripts. When I see a series like Vince's, I am relieved that good script writing is still around.

I am glad someone gets my humor!

Awh, silent we get your humor and we are ever so glad that you are "APPLYING YOURSELF!" to this website! You get a B+. I've been dieing to use that one.
Tweeds

Silent, we may not all agree with each other on this talk forum, but thank goodness we live in a nation that allows freedom of speech to say what we want without fear of any kind. Most of these posting are conjecture anyway, but interesting to say the least. Some postings are really valid and thought provoking to the point, Vince might pick up on and use. I am amazed so far of the many possible scenarios that could be used in Season 3!

Man, I feel like a party crasher for coming in so late on this string, but I'll throw the dice. At the end of Season 2, there really isn't anybody to shoot at. Gus has the Blue Sky franchise because Walt sold out. So if the Mexican gangsters want someone's head, it isn't Walt or Jesse's. Jane and Walt can't fight over Jesse because she's dead. Walt couldn't kill Skyler even if he caught her and Ted in bed together. Hank will have to go away from ABQ if he goes chasing Blue Sky Meth, which also takes him away from Walt. Guys, nobody's got a target to shoot at right now. Until Walt decides he's bored and wants to start something, like when he told the bald guy and lanky kid with the RV to "Stay out of my territory!", or unless Gus sells off the Blue Meth and wants a lot more really bad and comes to Walt for it, there's no springboard for gun-play. At least not at the opening for Season 3. But for you action junkies, Gus has got to come back to Walt for more Blue Meth. Also, there's always betrayal. If the Mexicans find Saul and force him to tell who the cook for Blue Sky is, Walt will be in deep dark trouble all over again. Remember when Walt and Jesse "kidnapped" Saul and had him on his knees in front of a make-shift grave. Saul was yelling, "Siemper amigo!" (Spanish for "Always a friend") at the top of his lungs and he didn't calm down until he realized that it wasn't the people he thought behind those ski-masks. So Saul has some connection to bad guys who speak Spanish. But nobody but Vince Gilligan knows who's going to make trouble first.
