Separate films obv.

[Eric P]

I have livid but haven't watched it.  I read that Detention is a slasher film set in a school so I'm hesitant to even check it out.

[CajoleJuice]

Took until end of last episode for me to call this season good. hopefully progressively worse things start happening.

considering we've been almost polar opposite with regards to the quality of the show up to now, this makes sense

[ZephyrFate]

Black dynamite has been progressively better wtf. you can suck on my everlasting gobstoppa

[CajoleJuice]

Black dynamite has been progressively better wtf. you can suck on my everlasting gobstoppa

oh oh thought you meant breaking bad

i'm certain it's funnier in context

I did. Newest BrBa season has been fucking boring until shit started happening at end of last ep.

[Himu]

Black Dynamite is horrible right?  Can we all agree on that?

first episode was good but then it taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanked

yeah i'm not enjoying it

[Phoenix Dark]

This season of Breaking Bad is already better than S4 imo, and could surpass S3 depending on how things play out. If you just watch shows for action and twists, perhaps it's not for you. I think some of the writing has been ridiculous in terms of the various heists that have gone down (breaking into a police station, magnets, etc) but they sell it well enough to make you not dwell on the logistics. Also the emotional stuff has been amazing this season. Skylar's confrontations with Walt especially. Plus you can tell Hank is slowly, slowly putting the pieces together.

[Beezy]

I'm pretty sure it won't be, but this should be the last season. I'm not sure where they can go after this.

Bad Education - English version of Great Teacher Onizuka with shitty dubstep music

[Robo]

I'm pretty sure it won't be, but this should be the last season. I'm not sure where they can go after this.

Showtime already renewed through season 8, apparently, which is supposed to be the last.

[Himu]

I'm really, consistently impressed with Jesse's character development.

[ZephyrFate]

Just started checking out The Booth at the End. Fantastic show. Enjoying season two more than BrBa season 5. It's Stephen King meets Twin Peaks.

[Barry Egan]

So breaking bad was very very good again. 

Also that Groundhogs Day commercial owned.

[Himu]

Yup to both things

[CajoleJuice]

Breaking Bad the best holy shit

[Barry Egan]

Breaking Bad can be really funny when it wants to.  The dinner was hilarious.  Walt whistling in the lab managed to be just as funny as it was disturbing. 

[ZephyrFate]

Breaking Bad was good tonight. Looking forward to S2E3 of TBATE tomorrow more, though.

[Phoenix Dark]

Breaking Bad has been amazing thus far. I've long maintained The Shield has the best final season of any show, but I think Breaking Bad has the potential to surpass it. Not saying it's certain/guaranteed but so far it's been stunning.

I was thinking the same after tonight's episode.

[Himu]

Haven't seen The Shield yet (gonna order from netflix soon) but this season has hit every single emotion.  Amazing tv.

[Diunx]

True Blood was pretty fucking great, gotta love Russell.

[Tucah]

BB was excellent last night. That dinner scene - holy shit did I feel bad for Jesse, so awkward.

TB was pretty good, I wish we got to see more of last night's awesome Russell this season but I'm sure next week will have plenty. This season has also done the unthinkable - made me not mind when Tara is on screen, I'm enjoying the Tara-Pam dynamic a lot.

[ZephyrFate]

The Booth at the End was just whoa today. If it keeps being this amazing, nothing will top its season finale this year.

[Fifstar]

Great episode of BB, my favourite this season. Walt has become such an asshole, it's unbelievable. I was on his team pretty long, but now it's just impossible.

[Robo]

 

[Himu]

Would have been better if they faded the music after five seconds.

[CajoleJuice]

Would have been better if they faded the music after five seconds.

Agreed.

[Phoenix Dark]

I, Claudius continues to be amazing

[ZephyrFate]

Black Dynamite is also still superbly hilarious. 

[Robo]

Watching the Larry Sanders Show since it's streaming on Netflix.  Pretty fascinating time capsule of the Clinton-era late night format and celebrity, plus the core trio of Jeffrey Tambor, Rip Torn and Garry Shandling are just amazing.  I imagine there's probably some necessary prerequisite for tolerating Shandling's constant, overbearing neuroses and whining, but I can't get enough.

[Phoenix Dark]

i watched a trailer and it looks pretty damn good. Is there a recurring cast, or random people asking for something each episode?

more importantly it has GEORGE MASON from 24 as the lead

[ZephyrFate]

It has a set of characters per season and you follow their stories, though two characters appear in season 2 as well. it's absolutely gripping television.

[Joe Molotov]

I, Claudius continues to be amazing

Captain Picard is like "wtf is this shit?"

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Saw the latest Breaking Bad.  This show is getting crazier and only two more episodes until the first half of the season is done.  That means a lot of crazy shit is going to go down

[Eric P]

i'm surprised you all are flipping your shit for bullet in the face on ifc

It's basically Danger 5 for DTV action films

[ZephyrFate]

But a million times worse/less funny.

[Eric P]

it's better in context

[Eric P]

Gravity falls is pretty cute.  Think Adventure Time for horror nerds.  More puns less non sequiturs though

I just finished it yesterday.  I'm really glad I took the chance on it.

Now I'm going through Arrested Development, a show I missed when it premiered (just like everyone else amirite!?) and of course, it's a really good show.

[Himu]

holy shit, breaking bad

[Himu]

btw if it takes this episode to turn you off of Walt as a person, you have problems.

[Beezy]

True Blood season finale

[ZephyrFate]

True Blood season finale was so ridic. 

[bdoughty]

btw if it takes this episode to turn you off of Walt as a person, you have problems.

You seem to have this need to root for Skyler for some reason and root against Walt.  Seriously, when you watch a movie like Scarface who exactly are you rooting for, Tony's mom? It has been known since the series began that Vince Gilligan wanted to take a normal guy and turn him into Tony Montana Jr. That is the ride you are on, you can hate Walt if you wish but it is not like the characters around him are saints. Shocker, Jessie is a whinny ass bitch again. Fortunately there was only a minimal amount of Skyler this episode.

For what it is worth I think in the end Walt will get killed and the person doing the killing is Skyler.

I liked Mike and he did go out with a badass quote, that said Mike was too smart for how this episode ended. Trusting the guy he despises to get his bag with a gun, knowing he is unarmed, instead of Jessie who posed absolutely no threat? Weak sauce there by the writers.

Who said anything about Skyler?

Walt killed someone because they insulted him.

If you are against Skylar after this episode and still making excuses for Walt, you may or may not be a shitty excuse of a human being.

* That was the creator of the show. That was his vision. Go laugh at him.  I have said in the past I do not ROOT for characters, that would be you.  Might want to scroll back and read some of out little conversation on this subject. 

Source: Internet
Gilligan had described his goal with Walter White as turning Mr. Chips into Scarface, and has deliberately made the character less and less sympathetic.

We're talking about tonight. In reference to this post. In reference to tonight's episode.

Dumbass.

Really, the namecalling?  Are you going to spill some glue in my chair too? Throw in a momma joke while you are at it?

I had no idea that the law of replying was only limited to tonight's episode and not the actual topic at hand. You even made the reference that "if it took this episode" which implies that other episodes were capable of making you hate Walt. How dare you break your own rules of sticking to this episode.

[Phoenix Dark]

Amazing episode

I also agree that if it took THAT to make anyone realize Walt is a pos...smh

Lots of people were on Team Walt until this episode, or maybe the last one.

There's been a mass exodus from the Team Walt wagon over the last 2-3 episodes. Last week's episode wasn't the breaking point for me. This week's episode was. Walt finally did something that you can't rationally justify.

I like how he doesn't even apologize profusely. He only says what he says at the end because he has to tell himself that hey, it's only a fuck up. Things happen. He doesn't care there's a human life dying next to him.

And

Mike

sees right through that shit,  just like always.

Pretty brill.

[Phoenix Dark]

The thing I really didn't like about this episode, and in hindsight the last one:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Mike was always super cautious. Yet he only ties one of Walt's hands up in the previous episode. This might have been an acceptable overlook if not for tonight's ep, where Mike meets Walt alone and doesn't seem on guard at all; he knew a gun was in the bag afterall. They seem like convenient lapses to allow the writers to kill him off

Always? Did you read my original spoiler, before you went on your tirade or what Phoenix put in the spoiler above? The writers screwed the pooch.

He saw right through Walt all the way to his grave. What episode were you watching last night? 

Now to throw it in terms you might understand.

ROFLOL, Mike was such a dumbass this episode. LOLOOLLLOOLOLOLOOLLOLLOL Jessie offered multiple times to get the bag, the one that had a gun in it, yet Mike did not have a gun on him. LMAO So have the guy you despise and have no trust in get it for you.

I get a real kick out of Breaking Bad moralizers. No one should feel much sympathy for anyone on the show, really. And especially the big three, considering that just LAST episode ago they

chopped up a little boy and dissolved him in hydroflouric acid just to avoid paying for the consequences of their actions.

[close]

They're all murderers, multiple times over. Just because some of them felt bad or caught feelings about it afterwards doesn't make them any less of the scummy criminals they are.  Walt nailed it when he was berating Jesse for still taking the money, and I think that bit was Vince Gilligan speaking indirectly to the audience. Don't feel bad for any of these people. They all rationalize their crimes and try to cover their asses.  They all have it coming.

Todd is waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy smarter than anyone is giving him credit for.  He's not writing all that shit down in his little notebook just because he wants to be a good student.
