Breaking Bad

[Otta]

Hmm, season 4 could definitely have been a fitting finale, but they left open the whole story line that is currently hanging in the balance mid season 5. They couldn't let it go unresolved, it's too close to home if you get my meaning.

Don't think there are any spoilers. Some names of characters you won't have encountered yet are mentioned, but don't think anything is said about who they are / what happens.

Mrs Otta (and I obviously) are currently midway through season 3. As Anna says, it's cool watching it for a second time, and seeing how the characters are, knowing what they become.

I just checked No Spoilers I can see though I guess if you are on Series 1 and Know there is a series 5 implies survival of some of the key players.

[Asset]

Just started watching it last week, halfway through series 2 now. Love it.

[TillieTrotter]

I'm half way through season 3 already. Absolutely addicted.

[????]

Ah,so Saul has appeared, brilliant

[TillieTrotter]

I'm loving Mike, Saul's PI. In fact there are so many brilliant characters to be had. Season 3 was my best so far and I'm just about to embark on Season 4. Maybe this evening though as I need some time off and I'm already thinking about the withdrawals after Season 5 has finished.

[????]

tell me about it :(

[Otta]

You've gone through it in record time TT!

Don't forget that there are only 8 episodes (so far) of season 5 to watch, then you'll be like the rest of us, checking days off the calendar until the final (possibly) 8 episodes are shown on TV.

[TillieTrotter]

I've not had a lot of work on this week Otta and I'm seriously addicted. Where are you and Mrs Otta at?

[Otta]

Midway through season 3. (although I've watched it all before obviously)

We'll have to discuss it over our next beer!

[maxxi]

I shall have to give this another go. I enjoyed season 1 and started season 2 but got distracted and returned the set unfinished - I liked it but wasn't too bothered by having missed the rest. Judging by this thread I should at least give it until season 3 to get properly hooked.

[Otta]

Indeed. I always say that season 1 is like an extra long pilot, it really gets rolling as season 2 moves along. Seasons 3 & 4 are wicked!

[Annasfield]

The best characters are Hank, Saul and Mike although Gus is boss too.

[Otta]

I like Jessie best (or are we not allowed to pick Walt or Jessie?) and Hank's wife (Skylar's sister, whoes name escapes me).

[????]

I like Hanks wife and the Scrapyard bloke....i like 'em all. Can we set up a WITH SPOILERS thread as well as this one as I am geeky enough on BB to discuss some other stuff but don't want to spoil it!

[the-e-dealer]

Done!

Breaking Bad finale launch was this week in LA. The last eight episodes start screening on US TV on August 11th.

The final episode will be shown live outdoors in Hollywood's Forever Cemetery on Sunday Sept 29th.

For us lot in the UK, Netflix have secured rights to show each episode a few hours after starting on 12th August. Final episode will be released in UK on Monday 30th Sept. I've managed to get access to a small private cinema (with bar!) and looking at hiring it to stream it on Mon 30th (7pm ish). I suspect I may need the bar - I predict a harrowing end for Walt.

[giggirl]

Hank's lightbulb moment at the end of the last series was an awesome cliffhanger. It's not going to end well for Walt and Jessie is it.

[Otta]

I hope Jessie gets to walk away.

[El Pibe]

She did. Now if comeone can persuade that awful Danny O'Donoghue to do likewise.

[????]

I would be in for a stream with private bar if invited, but am wary as I've now got the missus addicted too....and she is soooooo not a normal fan of this type of thang (BB)

[LadyDeliah]

Please can I have an invite??

[giggirl]

Bit of a tangent coming. I'm guessing most of you guys are on Netflix for this. Louis Theroux's "The City Addicted to Crystal Meth" makes interesting companion viewing.
