Re: Breaking Bad

Was right about some things, not on others -- namely because no one died in this ep and I didn't see how Grey Matter would light a fire under his ass again, lol.

Re: Breaking Bad

Granite State will most likely feature Skylar getting questioned by the DEA, Walt getting his new identity set up, Jesse being tortured even more by todd and his meth nazi gang. Lydia and Jesse meeting and establishing some sort of pact/plan. Walt preparing to get back what he lost. Time lapse to machine gun buying, beard wearing denny's parking lot for the final episode?

Something along those lines.

boom, headshot.

grey matter was also surprise. connected to madrigal?

Except Andrea... man, what a heartbreaking moment.

Great cinematography again in this episode. When Skyler was sitting in the room with the lawyers, I again noticed that it was white/light on the left, dark on the right.

As for the music, wow... it made Jesse's attempted escape that much more intense, and the title screen music at the end was fantastic because everything is coming full circle!

One week aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Re: Breaking Bad

ok it was pretty cool how they brought back grey matter but I would've been honestly content if the series had ended with ozymandias.

Sure, there was that flashforward Heisenberg graffiti on the wall scene but without it Ozymandias would've been a pretty great exit.

Re: Breaking Bad

The more I think about Ozymandias the more I love this goddamn show... even more than I already did.

I think as soon as I get back to Canada I'm going to buy all five seasons and marathon through them during winter break; the continuity is commendable, and it's certainly a show worth owning.

smartdude: err, yes, you're right -- I meant to imply family members, but yeah.

Aaron Paul mentioned on the podcast that his reaction scene to Andrea's death was the hardest thing he's had to shoot all series

In terms of emotional attachment or just in terms of acting skill?

Re: Breaking Bad

Both, most likely. Good actors usually have to get their minds in the right emotional spaces in order to be convincing -- and then they have to do it repeatedly for multiple takes.

Go to the one hour mark or so, listen for maybe 10 minutes

Re: Breaking Bad

I can't think of any loose ends that they haven't tied up yet. The attention to detail in this show is astounding. Chekov would be proud.

Re: Breaking Bad

It depends on what you define as a loose end, but IMO I agree. Some might argue that Gus' backstory is a loose end, or the Gray Matter backstory, etc, but honestly I think they're sufficiently covered. There are, of course, gaps -- but you can pretty much fill them in with whatever details you want and it'll be just as valid.

Re: Breaking Bad

If there are loose ends remaining after Felina, they won't be tantamount to those of Lost.

Re: Breaking Bad

fuck LOST so much

don't get me started

Re: Breaking Bad

there needs to be a .gif of todd mercilessly headshotting Jesse's girl. HOLY SHIT that guy doesn't show emotion AT ALL EVER.

todd does what is needed to get the job done, plain and simple. love that fucker, even if he terrifies me.

Re: Breaking Bad

remember when the Lost writers said sometime near the end of the first season that there was no way they'd end the series with everyone being dead all along lol
