Tim Goodman. The Bastard Machine : "Breaking Bad" Spoiled Bastard. Ep. 7: "One Minute."

Tim talks about the colors in this week's show.

Bad-example · 05-21-2010, 08:56 PM

Any theories on the 'suicide attempt'?

Do you think Walt felt somewhat insulted by Gustav's offer of 15M/year?

What about Skyler's long, convoluted story about the money and it's origin? It pretty clearly showed she has been thinking of how to explain the money for a while.

The leader of that drug support group is going to figure out Jessie's game in a hurry, eh?

Bad-example · 05-24-2010, 02:13 PM

delayed double dola

Is Walt losing his mind?

gi · 05-31-2010, 09:15 AM

Just watched last weeks episode and it appeared that Walt's guilt for not saving Jesse's girl, was causing him to not want to live. Amongst everything else too.

stevew · 05-31-2010, 11:19 AM

Odenkirk is absolute money on this show. Hilarious. Especially when Skylar was pressing him on the Laser Tag and he really had no reason not to agree with her, but he wanted to shut her up.

jeff061 · 05-31-2010, 11:34 AM

Yeah this last episode was a great one.

I'm not so sure about the pacing this season. It feels like it's written for a 24 episode arch, but now they need to both create and wrap things up in the last 3 episodes(including last night's).

stevew · 06-06-2010, 10:03 PM

Holy shit.

Schmidty · 06-07-2010, 02:26 PM

I just watched it. Yeah, holy shit.

stevew · 06-08-2010, 10:56 AM

The only thing that kind of rubbed me the wrong way was the sit down between Gus and the street level dealers. Someone highly cautious like Gus didn't to me seem like the type who would fraternize with people who could easily get pinched.

Bigsmooth · 06-08-2010, 04:37 PM

Yeah it's kind of hard to believe the amount of love Walt has for Jesse. Unless he strictly ran those guys down out of anger that they had that kid killed. Are we to assume that the 2 dealers killed the kid?

Great show.

Well, I agree that it is hard to figure why Walt feels so responsible...

Agree completely with your spoiler about Walt blurting that out.

TheOhioStateUniversity · 07-08-2010, 02:50 PM

Any thoughts on the finale? I watched all three seasons in about 3 weeks at the recommendation of my sister. Great show, great storyline, great cast.

ISiddiqui · 07-08-2010, 02:53 PM

Saw it recently (thanks DVR) and thought it was magnificent. The last two episodes were incredible actually. Gus is a great, great character.

Butter · 07-08-2010, 03:00 PM

I think it sets up an amazing season 4. I honestly didn't see that ending coming at all, but it was brilliantly conceived and executed. It's really just amazing how much groundwork is laid all season long for some of these plot points to come to fruition. Incredibly rewarding for the viewer, unlike some shows that have 3-5 "storyline" episodes, and the rest of the season consists of amusing but ultimately meaningless filler as far as character advancement goes.

Walt put Jesse completely on the spot... now it will be interesting to see the Walt and Jesse relationship either strengthen, or finally die completely away. It's always been a difficult to figure co-dependency, but this just deepens that complexity.

ISiddiqui · 07-08-2010, 03:32 PM

Well, Walt kinda had to. And after all, Walt did save Jesse's life to put Walt in that situation.

Radii · 07-08-2010, 04:04 PM

I watched all three seasons over a 2 week period, this is perhaps my second favorite show ever behind The Wire right now.

Breaking Bad Insider Podcast - Download free podcast episodes by Kelley Dixon, Vince Gilligan on iTunes.

There's a podcast hosted by one of the editors of the show that discusses every episode. Vince Gilligan is on all of them and then random other guests. They go on insane tangents and often end up discussing things that have nothing to do with the specific episode, but its usually something that I find fascinating.

The last couple episodes were incredible, and the end of the last episode was incredibly sad to me. Jesse had never actually killed anyone before. He almost did a couple times, he's done some awful things, but the end of the season seems like a massive game changer for him. I love how Jesse has been developed as a character and want to see him live at the end more than anything else on the show, but every time he finds anything good it ends up self destructing, I have a bad feeling that pattern continues forever for him.

I can't wait to see where season 4 goes. Surely Gus isn't going to allow himself to be held hostage by Walt's cooking skills for long. Is Season 4 the season that Hank finally finds out? I think I remember reading/hearing somewhere that Vince Gilligan/Writers feel like they have a 5 season life to this story... not with the same certainty that David Simon does but just a general feel for how far they can take this story realistically. If that's true and we get 5 seasons of brilliance here, I would guess that next season somehow builds up to Hank finding out and Season 5 will be a Shield-like awesome path of destruction/collapse for Walt.

I assume Jesse will at first be very angry at Walt (I KILLED SOMEONE FOR YOU....... BITCH), but that they will both end up being hunted by Gus and will stick together very closely. I give it two episodes of Gus allowing Walt to cook and hold him hostage before that explodes permanently.

Butter · 07-08-2010, 05:16 PM

Someone needs to slap the spoiler tag on the title now! But seriously, it's ok.

Is there any doubt that Jesse kills the guy? It seems like the scene was shot that way for a reason. But it could be just a POV type thing. I don't know, I just don't want the cop-out of Jesse deciding to take it on the run again instead of manning up and paying Walt back.

The creator of the show so much as said "Jesse shot him" and the shot was just supposed to be a nice dolly shot, not supposed to imply any mystery to the gun's trajectory.

yea, this.

I can spoiler my post if ppl want, when I watch TV shows much later than their original airdate I am very careful about reading the threads on the show(I've done this on FOFC catching up late on the wire/shield/breaking bad now w/o ever being spoiler'd)

I figured weeks after the season finale would be safe.

I've been stoked for a long time about the new season. But the other day when I read something about Los Pollos Hermanos and it alluded to the fact that we've only met one of the brothers, it took it to a new level.

Going to a cool little cinema that serves beer and food to watch the final episode of last season and the premiere of the new season on the 17th. Good times.

That's awesome.

I forgot how great this show was until I realized that TV has been comparatively shitty since it was last on. It has thrown the bell curve.

Tonight they are showing the last three episodes from season three.

Next week they will be showing season one starting Tuesday night.

stevew · 07-14-2011, 11:40 PM

I'm pretty convinced that they will think Gale was Heisenberg, although maybe that is just too obvious.

LloydLungs · 07-14-2011, 11:48 PM

Last summer, I absolutely FLEW through the first three seasons of this show. I went from that to nothing cold turkey for a solid year. Especially given the circumstances under which season three ended, it's fair to say I am greatly looking forward to Sunday night.

Now that I'm caught up, this is going to be a very difficult show to watch in one hour doses once a week.

I'm basically in the same boat, I think I got caught up on the show a week or so after the season 3 finale. I've spent like 30 minutes every day this week minimum watching my favorite clips of the show on youtube, every time I see an update from the Breaking Bad facebook page or interview with a cast member I get ridiculously excited.

Radii · 07-17-2011, 05:42 PM

LESS THAN FOUR HOURS.

Its really kinda ridiculous how excited I am for this. Thank god the British Open and Womens World Cup got me through most of the day.

yeah, the lab notes is probably going to detail what he thinks about the chemical makeup of the blue meth(shows the book early in the episode along with the box cutter). I suspect, like i said earlier, that there's going to be a lot of evidence which seems to implicate that Gale is Heisenberg.

At this point I would be terrified about just meeting Giancarlo Esposito the actor. Christ.

Butter · 07-18-2011, 08:27 AM

Yeah, it was a good start. No disappointments from me at all. Seems like Jesse has come to terms with what his life is going to be like now, as Walt had in the last few episodes of last season.

Trailed only Walking Dead in terms of season premieres on the network in key adult demos. I believe the technical term for last night's ratings would be "shit hot".

Radii Head Coach Join Date: Jul 2001	Spoiler OH. MY. GOD. Lived up to the hype I'd given it inside my head, completely and totally. Random thoughts: 1) Love the opening with Gale. The pure scientist pointing out that he can't do what this other guy can do, setting off the whole thing. 2) Obviously, GUS OMG GUS. That scene was just so beautiful. Walt bargaining for his life, Gus not saying a word, the tension building (even though I already guessed who was gonna die, I assume most did), Victor explaining how easy it is to follow a recipe, the actual death, the visual of the box cutter falling to the ground, and the blood pooling around walt's feet... just so perfectly done. 3) The body cleanup... Mike "I've never done this before, are you sure it's gonna work?" Jesse: "oh yeah, trust us" ... with all the tension everywhere else that was a huge laugh out loud moment. We've come a hell of a long way from bodies falling through bathtubs and ceilings, eh? 4) Jesse in the diner with Walt later, finding the perfect line/point as always, "He didn't kill us, but he's going to make us wish he did" I think I have that right at least. 5) The absurd Kenny Rogers shirt with the tag on it and the ridiculous white pants Walt is wearing when he comes home and talks to Skyler, great details. 6) I didn't notice it myself but a friend pointed it out, the last shot of the episode before the credits in Gale's apartment is of a notebook labeled "lab notes". That should be interesting reading for the cops. Just an amazing start to the season.
