Wow, what an opening. That's all I'm saying (for now). Wow.

Next week on Talking Bad we've been promised a surprise cast member visit.
Those of us who have watched Talking Dead know that this may not bode well for said cast member.

Haha - yup. My thoughts exactly. I am kinda surprised they only went with 30 minutes for Talking Bad, considering they realized the error of their ways with Talking Dead and moved that to an hour. Either way, really enjoyed Gilligan and Bowen (who could have easily talked for 2 hours).

The scene in the garage gets my vote for one of the top 5 moments in the history of the show. Two incredible actors just absolutely killing it.

Agreed - you could see everything adding up and all the crap that he has seen/gone through in the last year and a half, and the realization that it all led back to Walt. Crazy.

Another thing - it blows my mind that the entirety of the series up to this point is only a year and a half of "real-time". I know we see Walt a few months down the road a couple times, so it will likely go past his 52nd birthday - but even that is only 2 years or so. So crazy.

"Hello, Carol!"
Fantastic stuff! Loved that they sped up the Walt-Hank confrontation. A lesser show would have done cat & mouse for 7 eps. And the Star Trek conversation by Badger was great stuff! So I read this on another forum, but it was interesting the Star Trek scenario relied heavily on the transporters, which use Heisenberg compensators in the Star Trek universe.

Most watched BB episode ever, more than double the number of viewers for the premiere of season 5A (I guess all the hype worked).
‘Breaking Bad’ Returns With Series High 5.9 Million Viewers; ‘Low Winter Sun’ Debuts to 2.5 Million Viewers - Ratings | TVbytheNumbers Low Winter Sun btw lost 62% of the lead-in 18-49 and 51% of the total audience.

Just barely though. BB narrowly edged out Rizzoli & Isles this week.

You could say that again. I was talking to my mom on the phone yesterday, and she mentioned that she'd watched Sunday's episode. Why she decided to jump in and make that her first BB episode despite having a perfectly functioning Netflix account, I have no idea, but that's how you get your 200% increase. |

Because they are being so up front about the "surprise guest" I'm assuming the trend you mentioned from Talking Dead is not going to continue here. If it does, Hardwick is going to get a lot of shit heh. |

Wow. Just, wow. I had no idea they would get to where they did in the first episode back. Fan-freaking-tastic.

Last night's show? Any comments? Was there a lot of whispering or was my sound screwed up? Not sure I understood the segment with the lady. Can't wait for Hank/Jessie next week! Pretty much a ho hum episode, needed to happen but nothing earth shattering.

I've seen a lot of upset about the sound today myself. I thought it was very low in places but also thought that was intentional, for dramatic effect basically.

Yeah I think it probably was for effect because the normal scenes were fine and so were the commercials but my hearing sucks already and all the whispering was pissing me off because I couldn't catch about half of what they were saying. |

I only had a hard time understanding everything Walt was saying to Skylar in the bathroom.

I think I caught the gist of what Walt was saying, but almost considered swtiching on subtitles. I had the volume cranked. And, yeah, it was a bit hard to understand everything Marie was saying when she and Skylar were in the bedroom. In the first episode I had to re-wind the Walt-Hank confrontation twice to fully understand everything Hank was saying.

Yes! Thank you. I thought it was just my horrible hearing but I was having trouble with the garage scene last week also. Obviously they are going for dramatic effect but I believe the actors and script are good enough to not have to make it impossible to understand. Like you said I definetely got the jist that Skylar was sticking with Walt, and Marie was pissed at Skylar, and Hank was going to take down Walt but wish I could have caught more of the conversation. |

It's been this way all 5 seasons. The audio level is a step or two below the commercials which makes it hard to hear anyway, but the dynamic range they use is so wide that if you turn it up to hear it when it's quiet, you'll blow your speakers when it gets loud.
