Every time she comes into the bedroom wearing a sexy new plot device or slinky bit of foreshadowing, we're going to ask ourselves, "Is this really just for us, or is it actually meant for him?".

The doubt is there, the act can't be undone. Yes, I still love her and will stay with her, but it's not with the same unconditional abandon it once was.

Breaking Bad

So maybe it's more like you meet a girl at a small cafe. She's pretty cute and you guys hit it off. It's a Sunday, so she's doing laundry, and you can't tell how good her body is. But underneath the baggy sweats there's a hint of a nice body. You have your first date, and she is so much hotter then you thought she would be. You both decide (mostly her) to wait 20 more dates before sex. You guys make out a lot and it's great. There's even a few times it got really close to nekkid time, but not quite. On the 14 date, she decides to give you some head in a resteraunt. You've been backed up all this time and bust hard injuring a lot of people around you (hehehe).

Finally on the 20th date, you're finally back at your place. She steps out of your bathroom wearing the sexiest lingere you've ever seen. You start going at it and slide your hand in her panties, AND DIS B*TCH HAS A NAPPY BUSH!! You smell your finger and almost throw up. It's been awhile, so you hit it anyway. It was lousy, so you kick her out and you decide to never call her again.

Then you realize that you ain't getting any from anyone else, so a few months later in September, you decide to call her again.

You've got a ways to go for this, probably early next year.

You're right, it is a joke. The Wire doesn't compare to 24.

Dream opening to Season 3: Skylar is driving down the road after her little hissie fit and some very sharp, very hot piece of metal from one of the planes rips through her windshield to cut her in half. The baby is unharmed of course.

All the girl analogies are ******ed. Wait they are like a girl who looks really hot, but has an artificial leg, but she is going under some extreme medical procedure to try and reanimate the leg.

Past quality of the show doesn't make the flaws in one episodes irrelevant or acceptable. When judging the show as a whole they are relevant and that's why I still think Breaking Bad is an awesome show, but that doesn't mean that I will blindly like a ****ty episode because other episodes have been awesome.

Edit: One of the reasons why Breaking Bad is so "perfect" (outside of this season's finale, which wasn't that bad imo) is because it has so few episodes. It is a lot easier to make 24 40 minute episodes that are perfect than make 5+ seasons like The Wire/Shield/Sopranos

It was really awful writing. Shockingly bad for a show of this quality. Sorry that bothers you all to hear but it is a fact, ignoring it won't make it good writing.

You should be mad because the viewers of this show are supposed to be too smart for silly plot devices like this.
Everything you say as a reason to be mad or disappointed as a viewer is entirely correct. I feel and have felt this way since that episode. It was terrible point in Breaking Bad and I can only hope not a sign of things to come.

lol @ comparing Wire vs AD... I mean I saw the first season of AD and while it was okay, I was very disappointed. Perhaps it was cause all you guys hyped it up so much, but I thought it was pretty meh, and I like all the actors minus Jason Bateman.

Pudge I'm surprised you can compare the two and say the Wire is close because of a less than Wire standards 5th season. The first 4 seasons are pretty much unmatched television, and I think Sopranos and BB are the only ones that can come close to touching it (never seen Shield, Mad Men, etc).

i love when that dude is blazn some weed outside in AD and when batemen comes outs he blows out a cloud of smoke and says "man its cold out here"

This is a pretty mediocre show imo. The main character's personality flip flops on multiple occasions throughout the series just to fit that role for the given episode. And all the other characters either add nothing to the show (wife) or are exceptionally poor actors.

Ah. Wasn't sure if AD, Wire, or BB was supposed to be the one you were talking about.

The main character's personality flip flops because he is having trouble reconciling his morality with what he's done. And if you think that Aaron Paul's character adds nothing to the show or that he is less than an excellent actor, well, you are wrong.

I think youve stumbled into the wrong thread, or you werent really paying attention. The main characters motivations change over the course of the two seasons, we see a change in personality which starts in the very first episode, i cant think of any real flip flops though. Its just because he isnt a one-dimensional character.
08-04-2009 , 08:09 PM
how the **** by any stretch of the imagination can anyone even THINK to call this a mediocre show?? I usually respect people's opinions on tv and movies but good lord that's just straight IGNANT daw

The problem with BB is that the story is getting too contrived for the sole purpose of extending the show. For example, Walt is clearly a total scumbag. But if the show really illustrated the evil that is methamphetamine we (the viewing public) would lose all sympathy for Walt and then BANG ratings go down the tube. So instead they come up with this plane crash idea which really isn't Walt's fault. Then next season we will get to see Walt wrestle with his guilt about the plane crash and we will sympathize with Walt and root for Walt and keep the ratings high. In fact there is no moral dilemma. By any objective assessment Walt is a sociopath who pretends to have feelings.

i hope they dont do that. I think the whole point of Jessie is that in him we have someone to root for. The Sopranos did alright even though Tony was a sociopath.
