    Spoilers from Season 3

    My two favorite scenes are from season 3. ( I havent seen season 4 yet)

    The shootout between Hank and the two crazy brothers in the parking lot. I had to rewind it 3 times. Awesome.

    Near the end: When Walter runs over both dealers with his car. One of the dealers survives and Walt uses the dealer's own gun to execute him. Walt tells Jesse to run.

    Spoilers from Season 3 and 4.

    With the cartel plot of season 4 you have to wonder if Gus was actually planning on killing Walt at the end of season 3. Maybe he just wanted to ship his ass off to Mexico to keep the cartel off his back.

    Finally finished Game of Thrones and watched the 1st BB episode last night. I bought the 1st season and statred dvring the 2nd season last night as well. I guess I can't spend too much time in here with the spoilers. I'm not sure I'll be able to catch up in time for season 5. :cry:
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Yes you will. Breaking Bad is like Pringles...once you pop you can't stop. You'll rip right through the seasons.

    Oh I hope Jesse kills him. Walter's become such a wonderfully despicable character and Jesse killing him would be the only satisfying ending for me.

    its amazing how well jessy plays a drugie/dealer/etc etc...

    i've known so many dudes exactly like his character over the years...

    what blows me away is that he can pull it off and not come from that back ground...
    Seen a few interviews of him...heard him tell his life story...

    Brian Cranston (mr white) gets more credit...but i forget his real name but jessie to me nails the role..

    Aaron Paul.

    He deserves every bot as much credit as Cranston. Jesse could easily be a despised character which would completely ruin the show. Instead, Aaron Paul makes him likeable despite how frustrating he can be at times.

    I agree about Aaron paul. He;s a talented actor. And after I saw season 4, his voice would often echo in my head, in his distinctive voice; "yo, mr white..."

    But i also think one of the many strengths of this show, is not just the talent of Aaron Paul, but across the board, every actor and actress involved. Bryan-mr white, Anna-Skyler, Dean-Hank,Betsy-marie, Rj-walter jr, bob-saul the lawyer, giancarlo-mr fring and jonathan who plays mike. all are stellar actors. All of them give performances worthy of Emmys or Oscars.
    '
    'I think thats one of the major coups of the show. Not only have they assembled amazing writers and directors and cinematographers, but they assembled a rag tag group of some of the best actors in the buisness.

    Certainly Aarons performance is brilliant and noteworthy, but so is Anna's performance as Skyler.

    Hell, even the actors who play Hector Salamanca, and Tuco give mind blowing performances.

    i dont think you can single out an aspect of the show specifically. Its all amazing, and adds up to equal more than the sum of its parts.

    i disagree that bryan gets more credit. From the beginning, Ive seen nothing but praise for all aspects of this show, that means everything from directors, to writers, to actors and so on. The love has always been spread around and deservedly so. Certainly bryan and aaron are huge parts of the show, but they arent all that makes it good or great.

    Aarons performance has long been critically acclaimed.

    But you are right in the central premise that he gives an amazing performance in the show.

    What does everyone think of the shortened 1st season. Shortened during the writers strike, had only 7 episodes, while the 2-4th seasons all have 13 episodes. Does the first season suffer from the lack of those 6 episodes? I enjoyed the first season, but it wasnt until maybe the 2nd or 3rd episode of the 2nd season that I began to see the absolute genius of the show.

    I don't know if it suffered in my opinion but more episodes of this show is always better. I still wonder how mnay networks are kicking themselves in the ass for passing on this show before AMC got it? Id' have to figure AMC was not the original target network for the show.
