"no seriously, this is a bad idea"

i'm enjoying this episode, even though i was hoping for the overall plot line to be developed, getting back to the roots of walt and jesse interacting has been very fun for me

lame

After the first half hour I was ready to say it was the worst episode of the series, but everything after Jesse starts his monologue about the possum it was so great.

I agree. the first half was pretty much of a waste

I mean I don't know if it was a waste, it really did set up the last 20 minutes of the episode. But yeah, they could have done a better job, it was the first time I can remember thinking that an episode of BB was dragging a bit. I really loved when Walt was talking about Q telling him not to give up on family..."And I didn't," about which he was talking about not giving up on Jesse, which is the whole reason he went to Jesse's house. And then you can see Walt thinking the events through, knowing that if he hadn't tried to wake Jesse, Jane never would have rolled over on her back and spat up. And then as Walt gets sleepier and sleepier, the tension of wondering if he's going to have another "which phone" moment. And then at the very end, after both Walt and Jesse have further bonded, Walt typically says one thing too many -- again with the best of intentions -- and ****s everything up. Again.

I was pissed after the 6 minute intro and then was wondering wtf was going on. The second half was better but my word.

easily the worst episode of the whole series.
05-24-2010 , 12:33 AM
The second half was pretty good, but the first half was some of the worst TV drama I've ever seen, no hyperbole.
05-24-2010 , 02:07 AM
boring first half or so but after that it was some unreal tense, well acted, well scripted TV.

Probably just an amazing coincidence of timing but it seemed like they were taking a thinly veiled shot at Lost with Walt talking about how he had lived too long.

First half was as terrible as being advertised itt but I thought Jesse had a good episode, which is nice considering he's been lame lately. First half was so bad that this is probably the worst episode in 3 seasons.
05-24-2010 , 02:25 AM
def the worst episode of the series and even not good compared to a regular tv show which is usually never the case with bb
05-24-2010 , 02:28 AM
i cant accept this being 'one of the worst' just because of how good the second half was. i cant off the top of my head name a worse one, but i gotta think one exists.

Yeah i mean nothin got blowed up or anything!

God damn i am tired of the the ****in ******s who have been posting ITT this season.
05-24-2010 , 02:45 AM
I dug it. The beginning was a different but it didn't bother me at all. The 2nd half, of course, was really good.

I really thought Walt was gonna confess about Jane.

Idiotic generalization. The episode was bad because the first 30 minutes of it was completely meaningless to the series. If someone thinks it was boring, it doesn't mean they're incapable of enjoying this type of episode, it means that it was ****ing boring.
05-24-2010 , 02:56 AM
So bored in this episode I had to start jerking off to keep myself entertained, never had to do that with Breaking Bad..
05-24-2010 , 03:12 AM
Gotta admit I thought it was pretty bad, probably shouldn't have watched it while thinking about Lost though.
05-24-2010 , 03:21 AM
Its genre is drama/dark comedy, guys.
05-24-2010 , 03:22 AM
If you didn't think the first half hour was funny as hell, you need some of what I'm smoking.

2nd half paid off for the first..

liked the nod to pulp fiction with jesse searching for a tool when he got locked out of the basement.

gotta admit my eyes swelled a bit with walt's story of living too long.

i liked how walt finally showed how much he cared about jesse (as much as his conscious) by trying to 'save him' like he didn't do with jane. twice actually.. first when jesse was on the ladder and i'm cringing he tells jesse to just come down, then later when he non-judgmentally confronts jesse in the parking lot.

i especially liked the line when he told jesse to get down off the ladder and in his benedryl/insomnia-haze he rhetorically says "it's all contaminated". looks like walt's decisions have given him more emotional baggage than we may have realized.

WTF at you people saying this was the worst episode. we finally get to see a vulnerable side to walt as he starts to reflex on everything he has done in the series. we also get to see how attached he is to jesse, which is something we haven't directly seen in a while. this episode really explored walt as a human being. the first half was great too because it set up the tone for the entire episode. we have had an entire season of pedal to the metal story progression and it's really nice to slow things down and reflect on everything that has happened so far.
