Anyone else watching this? Its fucking awesome

1/27/2008 11:10:50 PM

i keep finding parts of it without realizing when it comes on, but i like what i've seen so far. i saw the episode where the chemistry dude was making crystal meth in a camper in the middle of the desert.

1/27/2008 11:12:36 PM

yea i've watched these first 2 episodes. It's good.

1/28/2008 1:14:08 AM

Been interested in it for some time now. Saw my first episode last night. About flipped out when I saw the effects of the kid dissolving the body in his bathtub. AWESOME.

1/28/2008 11:16:05 AM

i love it

too bad there are only 5 episodes left

1/28/2008 11:39:54 AM

i checked for a thread on this last night and couldn't find one.

fuckin great show.


btw i loved it when he slid the water...plate....bucket....toilet paper....hand sanitizer.

1/28/2008 1:12:01 PM

this show is good, it's one of those that makes you feel like if you were there, you would just go nuts and probably end it all. the bathtub scene, i would have to just cut my loses and bail, burn down the house, it's over.

1/28/2008 2:06:56 PM

I would have shit myself if the bathtub scene happened to me.

1/28/2008 2:13:38 PM

I was all excited from the previews, and then the first episode was really awesome. The one last night was horrible. Almost nothing happened. They need to pick up the pace next week or people are going to start to bail on the show, me included.

1/28/2008 2:15:34 PM

^^You would have shit your big boy pants (from the 1st episode)
last night was a little boring

^I dunno. The tension and the character development and whatnot was pretty intense. They needed to lay off the action for a second and allow it all to sink in.

1/29/2008 4:20:02 AM

I didn't even know the wife was preggers until they did the ultrasound....did they even mention it in episode 1??? I have to watch with my son....

1/29/2008 10:08:41 AM

anyone know where i can watch episodes 3 and 4?

1 and 2 are on the amc website, but they haven't posted the others.

2/25/2008 12:03:10 AM

this show was cool when they had a dead guy in acid in a bathtub and a guy chained up downstairs.


now it doesn't make sense, because i can't pay attention to it.

for the season or FOREVER??


BTW this is a great show!! We randomly came across it when the first episode aired.

they also have it on AMC on demand, if you have digital cable. i don't remember what channel it is, but its way up there in the 550's. if 3 & 4 are not up yet i assume they will be soon.

2/25/2008 12:48:34 PM

My guess is there won't be a second season- its not like that guy has long to live. It would be unbelievable if he got "cured" all of a sudden. Haven't watched last night yet, but its on the tivo for later.

2/25/2008 2:59:35 PM

^he wouldnt have to be completely cured for the series to continue, he could live for years while undergoing chemo or his cancer could go into remission after a few rounds of chemo. Why would AMC create a series just to end it after one season, doesnt make any sense, especially if the ratings are good which they seem to have been.

2/25/2008 3:31:33 PM

^^does AMC on demand come with standard digital twc?

2/25/2008 3:33:25 PM

This show has been awesome so far. All of the actors are good enough to create real moments of desperation and tension, especially during the family scenes.

Like everyone else I about lost my fucking mind during the bathtub scene.

it does for me. i have the Digipic 1500 package (i think), whatever the standard combo for RR and Digital Cable is.

2/25/2008 5:44:03 PM

^^^^ See, I don't know... The guy is already hacking up blood, and the cancer has already progressed pretty far. And it looks like they are going with a "If you only had a month to live" twist maybe? I haven't seen last nights yet, but I don't see it exactly ending happy.

Also- I want to see more with the sister in law. That scene where she walked out with those "fuck me" heels was kind of random... seems like it will come up again.

2/25/2008 6:57:14 PM

Well, he is getting chemo now..so I'd like to see this last 2-3 seasons

2/25/2008 7:12:49 PM

I wish we'd make more shows that are written with an ending and an anticipated number of seasons in mind.

3-5 quality seasons is ideal.

2/25/2008 7:41:48 PM

^^I have AMC but Not AMC on demand; however I did end up finding a channel called "HD showcase on demand" or some bullshit, anyway they have the episodes on there. fwiw

2/25/2008 7:43:45 PM

you're right, there is no AMC on demand, my bad. it's actually on channel 540 - Entertainment On Demand. they announce all the time on the on-demand preview channels that you can watch breaking bad on AMC on demand, but fail to say that channel doesn't really exist.

2/25/2008 8:21:51 PM

welcome to the internets, people. the torrents are alive and very active

2/25/2008 9:42:18 PM

just finished watching the first episode online....interesting, going to watch more.

question though...whats the deal with the censoring of the show on the internet? dropped the f bomb a couple times in the beginning of the first episode, a chick hanging out the window, boobs floppin but blurred.

wtf?

2/25/2008 9:46:07 PM

i think it's just to make it a bit more realistic. It's produced by AMC, but i think it's made to look like it's an HBO or showtime or something. It's nice that they don't overtly bleep it or something, just mute it for a second so you know what they're saying, but you might not even notice that it was censored

2/25/2008 10:06:09 PM

the DEA brother-in-law is great.

ahaha, holy shit - just watching E04. the douchbag in the bank on the bluetooth headset. ha that was funny

2/25/2008 10:15:21 PM

this show is awesome, but last night's episode was pretty slow and seemed like just a filler episode

good to know that he's back to cooking though

2/25/2008 11:14:16 PM

great show. enjoyed every episode

2/26/2008 9:36:48 AM

been waiting for him to start cooking again for sooo long

2/26/2008 11:03:39 AM

Awesome show....I'm watching.

The last episode was slow, but I didn't feel it was filler. They wanted to slow it down and it had a lot of character development in it. Introduced two new characters that are obviously important (the rich people), he had to make two huge decisions, etc. I thought it was very well done.

2/26/2008 1:49:05 PM

The intervention was my favorite scene of the series so far. Hilarious and chock full of great character development.

2/27/2008 8:24:22 AM

the wife of the rich guy is the girl from his flashbacks in the classroom, yes?

2/27/2008 9:53:38 AM

^^ i thought so too. Episode 5 was good, and the intervention was one of the best written, best acted, "most real" scenes I've seen on TV.

The cooking scenes (the first one in Episode 1 then the latest one with the two young guys) are outstanding.

^ i think so. I didn't put that together until they were on the phone and she started crying

2/27/2008 9:58:45 AM

Great show. Thankfully someone started posting it in 720p. He's gotta be crazy to not accept that job though. I guess he wants to make his own decisions and not work for someone he used to be peers with.

2/28/2008 12:45:50 AM

If anyone reads the Sepinwall blog, he shed some light on the subject:

Quote :

"Now we have a much stronger idea of how Walt went from Nobel Prize-winning team member to bitter high school teacher: his girlfriend (or, at least, the woman he loved) married his partner, and Walt (impulsive, resentful and grudge-holding as we know he can be) no doubt quit the company rather than have to suffer through this perceived humiliation every day."

2/28/2008 1:08:27 AM

wait what? was there a new episode tonight?

2/28/2008 1:15:12 AM

^^^ the job is just a coverup to get him medical benefits. Although it would present a good opportunity, I think the actual job is just anncillary to getting him some insurance. the partner guy with the huge ears was probably mostly blowing smoke about how much they wanted him. If they really wanted him to work there, they would have recruited him years ago, you know, before he got terminal cancer

^ no, you can gather all that from the interactions in episode 5, and the flashbacks theyve been having from Walt in College.

2/28/2008 6:08:24 AM

anyone have any clue as to why AMC has only posted the first two episodes?! and before someone comes along and says download the torrent...i would, except my connection is dialup-ish. i dont really feel like spending the next 2 weeks downloading a single episode. ugh!

2/28/2008 6:24:47 PM

holy shit the episode tonight was awesome. dude's a badass.

3/2/2008 11:42:36 PM

i fuckin missed it

what happened?

3/3/2008 12:24:46 AM

ok. SPOILER ALERT (for those that might bitch)
















they cooked up some more meth and wanted to distribute it in bulk. drug dealer dude took it to some bigshot meth dealer and got the shit beat out of him and the meth stolen. so walt goes to see the guy in person with another bag. he gets there and demands $50,000 to cover the stolen meth and his partner's "pain and suffering" and the guy laughs at him. so walt grabs one of the crystals from the new bag and throws it and it blows up half the place (turned out to be some kind of explosive mercury concoction). got the $50,000 and a regular deal w/the dude. it was pretty cool.

3/3/2008 12:36:28 AM

awesome, thanks

what about the cops who came to the school? I was watching between it and Doom in HD before settling on Doom, but I saw the cop who came to the school and was snooping around his high school lab...

3/3/2008 1:03:54 AM

yeah he talked to walt about the gas mask they found from the school. didnt suspect walt, just that someone stole it from there. ended up pinnin it on an employee with a record.

3/3/2008 1:41:59 AM

Badass episode. This show rocks.

3/3/2008 10:49:29 AM

This show is fucking great. Who knew the Dad from Malcolm in the Middle could pull off such a character. I love how everytime he gets pissed he blows something up.

Squeegee + Car Battery = Awesome

3/3/2008 11:35:40 AM

tonight's episode is pretty awesome
