Be Excellent To Each Other

Excellent episode - the last few have been a bit 'meh' in places but this one was really back on form.

Just started season 5 last night. Catching up with you all. Averaging two a day! It is amazing

I'm an episode behind so having to avoid spoilers.

Breaking Bad cars up for auction:

Pontiac Aztek?

Nah, the cracks are starting to show as they wrap it up:

Oh my. It is getting good.

In celebration of the end of the series it's the big blue meth give away

Errrr....

Man alive. That was the best episode of anything ever.

Scenario:

Just watched it.

Just watched the last episode..... fucking awesome..

Dear Lost,

That's how you wrap up a show.

Yours Sincerely,

Breaking Bad

That was quite an ending.

Excellent.

But what do I watch now ........ ? i know, I'll re-watch these final eight episodes on Netflix.

BTW, be grateful that you weren't watching this episode live - apparently AMC were interrupting it with adverts about once every seven minutes or so. Sounds like it completely ruined the flow.

I might start this again, from scratch. What a show.

Or I'll redo Sopranos.

That was excellent, still reeling.

I'd opt for Breaking Bad - it stays consistently excellent pretty much all the way through, plus having just watched the last episode it'll be fun to go back to the very first episode.

Same here - and I feel incredibly sad that it's over (yet I think it ended where it should have, I wouldn't have liked to have seen it drawn out any further).

Good last epiosde, no stupid endings for a change.

I did read that the last one was supposed to be 75 mins long but it was just normal length I think?

Most are about 44mins in total. The last 2 were 55. So with adverts it's probably 75 min.

There are a lot of flashbacks though, reminding you what those early eps are like

Sopranos has enough distance by this point to seem new again.

So that was fucking awesome then, and I can't think of a better way for it to be wrapped up.



So everything else on telly from now on in, forever, is going to be a bit shit by comparison, isn't it?

After thinking that the previous episode was a bit slow, I am incredibly satisfied.

We still have the Spanish language remake of Breaking Bad to look forward to.

Til the next thing comes along, cf. Sopranos, Wire.

I was utterly destroyed..



Absolutely satisfying ending for me.

Phew. Yeah, that was perfect.

I only had one problem with that final episode - the music that played over the final scene. Now I understand why it was used in terms of the lyrics but musically I don't think that it fit. I'd have much rather had something more in keeping (ie original score for that scene) or, far better still, no music at all. When I re-watch it I'll simply mute the volume.

I'm really sad that we won't see another show of this magnificence so soon.

I've started watching the new season of boardwalk empire but it's been kinda boring. Everything is boring compared to breaking bad.

Watch The West Wing. Or CNN, as it's otherwise known.

I don't care for political dramas. I tried to watch house of cards and but i lost interest just after 2 episodes.

That exact idea is what stopped me watching it for years, but characterising it simply as 'a political drama' does it a massive disservice. You don't need to know or care about politics going in (I certainly didn't) and to a great degree it's just the wrapping for the best ensemble entertainment you'll ever see. The quality of the writing/acting transcends that wrapping and will either massively succeed in making you give a shit about the politics (if only in as much as they effect the characters) or at least stop you caring that you're watching something with political themes simply in order to follow the stories. The whole thing's massively character driven basically and the same people would be just as watchable if the setting was a garden centre is Scunthorpe.

ETA: It's also worth noting that it's not as po-faced as something like House of Cards and is probably one of the funniest shows I've ever watched that wasn't a straight sitcom.

An almost predictable ending really. Everything wrapped up pretty much as you thought it would be, no surprises.

Also, House of Cards, totally awesome, can recommend.

True enough. It was a bit of a feelgood ending really. Still, I'll take that!

Spanish Language remake set in Columbia has already been made. While initially it looked like a spoof this is supposedly really happening.



So the answer to the question "What do I watch now Breaking Bad has finished?" is "Watch it again but now with subtitles"

Slight spoilers in there

going to have to get one of these

DVDs are bit rubbish to me now but this is pretty swish.

Complete Boxset

Alternative ending to the season leaked...

My dad has leant me several Breaking Bad boxsets a few weeks ago. And has gone on about the show for the last six months. Not had the enthusiasm to watch it yet, though.

You should. I started watching it from the beginning a few weeks ago, I'm now just 2 episodes into series 4, and I've not seen a bad episode yet and have been utterly gripped for the entire run so far.

Heh. Brilliant!

Watched the last one last night. What a fucking brilliant show. Feel there's a little gap in me now it's all over.

Yeah, I felt a bit like that when I watched the last episode. What great TV

I've just watched the end of season 4! Yay me!

But, why, oh why, does this thread start with season 5 talk ON PAGE TWO! That's 14 pages I can't bloody read until I've watched the next season. Gits.

Also, good this init?

Off the top of my head this thread is very well spoilered so you should be safe to read in that regard, but yeah probably not much point either.

I've tried to get into various other series since Breaking Bad finished and in all honesty I've been forced to conclude it really is one of a kind in its brilliance.
