Breaking Bad

[El Pibe]

I have it allllllll to come.

So can we have a 3 month ban on spoilers except in the spoiler thread pleeeeease.

You could try The Americans for size in the mean time. I'm sure its not the same calibre but we enjoyed.

[El Pibe]

Doh!!

[the-e-dealer]

Well Happy to me might be sad to you!

[the-e-dealer]

Sorry!

First episode is on Netflix. We watched it Monday evening, and I for one thought it was really good. Nice to learn all about Saul's backstory, and some familiar faces popping up.

[the-e-dealer]

I watched two episodes last night on netflix good to see that nasty character again.

[Otta]

Ooo, there was only one available on Monday. Will have to check out episode 2 tonight.

[Otta]

And by "nasty character" do you mean the one that pops up at the end of episode 1? In which case, yeah, I smiled when I saw him.

[the-e-dealer]

The guy with the mum!

Tuco is awesome... totally underused in Breaking Bad. Hopefully he'll pop up a few times more in BCS.

I reckon there's potential (maybe in the next series) to bring back Jesse and his buddies in one or two episodes. If you remember when we first met Saul in BB, Jesse implied that he was familiar with Saul and his... methods.

[the-e-dealer]

Jeremy that's a spoiler! Shh!

[Jeremy]

Only a small one.

[the-e-dealer]

yes I was trying so hard !! ...

Anyways its Tuesday night for each new episode according to Netflix. Pity I was going to watch 3 in a row!

According to Wikipedia there were talks with the Jessie actor (Aaron somebody?) but he says it isn't happening. That's not to say it won't though.

Talks with Hank and Skylar have also happened apparently, so suspect we'll see some familiar faces in the future.

It also says it's both a prequel (it's set in 2002) and a sequel dealing with some of the aftermath of BB, so will be interesting to see how that all works out.

I could be wrong, but I think there are plenty of poeple out there who'd like to know what became of both Saul and Jessie after BB.

Didn't the opening sequence of BCS give us a glimpse into what happens to Saul post-BB?

[Otta]

Ooo, dunno, was probably having a quick smoke. Will watch later.

Finally caught the first two episodes last night. I enjoyed it - definitely has potential.

We watched this last night

It felt slightly more Coen Brothers this time around

Saul is a great character, i'm glad to see him back

[uncleglen]

I expect Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) is earning a lot more with the X box ads. BCS is very good- I love the home (literally) office. 3rd episode today.

But how long before the roles dry up for him? Whatever else he's in, he's always going to be Jesse Pinkman...

And the audience will be expecting him to end every sentence with "bitch!"

[uncleglen]

Or 'Yo bitch' even!

I only watched BB in the first place because Malcolm in the Middle was my favourite series and Bryan Cranston was so funny.

[????]

Watched 3 of BCS last night. I can't help thinking I mainly enjoyed it because of BB and knowledge of what Saul becomes..not sure it would be that compelling as a standalone. Did enjoy it though. Mike looks older tho!

[ratty]

Tuco looked older also, but we can forgive it!

[Otta]

I've still only watched the first one. I know what Quids means about the link to Breaking Bad, but that's unavoidable. It couldn't work as a stand alone because in too many ways it's linking itself to the future of BB. For me it's a prequel.

I'd have liked to see earlier dealings with Gus, but in BB it is very clear that Saul has no idea who Gus is at first, so that ain't gonna happen.

[Jeremy]

Tuco and Mike both aged a lot... surprised the makeup/fx department couldn't rustle something up.
