Breaking Bad. (SPOILERS)

[M1ke]

i thought i read somewhere that there would be an alternate ending on the DVD box set..maybe thats it? in this one he gets away?

Can anyone who has the boxed set confirm/deny the existence of an alternate ending?

[rampface]

The alternate ending is the Malcolm in the Middle thing. It's a joke.

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

I can only pray for the day that I'm done hearing/reading all the played-out Malcolm in the Middle/Breaking Bad crossover jokes.

As for the box set, I'm definitely picking it up next Black Friday, assuming it's still available. I can't imagine them making this a super limited run or anything. But eeeee, bonus features! I just wanna take it all in.

Slightly newsier news -

Aaron Paul in "Serious Talks" for Better Call Saul. (http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/28/aaron-paul-may-join-better-call-saul)

[october_midnight]

Bryan Cranston says 'never say never' to Walter White returning. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/05/30/walter-white-not-dead_n_5415300.html?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000024)

Of course an obvious teasing answer, but it'd be sick if they'd at least consider it.

[onthewall2983]

Unless Better Call Saul makes a good case of how they can use the character again, I'd imagine he has the good sense to just let the character die. I'm kind of sad that it appears Dean Norris is seemingly not interested in doing it (possibly just code that he's bound by his deal with Under The Dome right now, which would be a travesty if it being a hit show means no more Hank).

[AgentofChaos]

Ok but even if Walt survived the shooting, he still had terminal cancer. So it wouldn't make ANY sense to try and ressurect the character. He's dead as shit. At the very most I'd be open to some sort of epilogue, of him in jail dying or something, maybe. But it would have to be very short and succinct. Almost like a dvd extra similar to the Lost prologue with Ben and Hurley. Not sure how that would tie in to the Saul show though. Obviously if it's a prequel it's easy to find a way to include Walt in some form, but then you are getting uber milquetoast Walter White that is a pussy bitch, not the character he ultimately became, so not sure what the exact point of that would be outside of a fun but brief throwback cameo and/or to promote the Saul show and get people to watch it.

[Space Suicide]

I LOVED the show but to me, Walter White died in that meth lab after getting shot by his M60 rig. Show's over for the man.

If he appears in the Better Call Saul spin-off I'm game.

[onthewall2983]

I say this knowing absolutely nothing about The Walking Dead, but I loved the theory (I believe) that Walt's meth is what caused the epidemic that caused the zombie epidemic on that show.

[kdrcraig]

I think that's just Cranston talking cause he loved playing the character. Walt's dead

[theruiner]

^^This.

I guarantee you this is based on absolutely nothing other than Cranston's imagination. Remember when he said there might be a "Breaking Bad" movie and then Vince Gilligan came out and basically said, yeah, I love Bryan's enthusiasm but that's just not going to happen. Unless it comes from Vince himself I'm not buying it.

[onthewall2983]

I look at it as Bryan trolling CNN which his hilarious in and of itself.

[thelastdisciple]

Just watched the entire series for the first time within a month.

It kinda feels like cheating because i didn't have to wait week to week or year to year for new episodes/seasons, it was all right there waiting for me like a massively long movie and i decided ah what the heck, might as well see what all the fuss is about after all this time. I can definitely understand all the praise the show received, while i might not have been entirely as taken away by it and there's probably other shows that i favor more or had became much more enamored with from the get go but i definitely enjoyed my time with this story. It was fun.

[implanted_microchip]

I had both the luck and misfortune of getting into Breaking Bad when the pilot aired. I had seen ads for it before it started up, and naively thought, "Oh, I loved that guy as Hal on Malcolm in the Middle!"

What I ended up getting into was way more than I was expecting, needless to say; I absolutely fell in love and felt addicted from the first season. A lot of people say it took until the second or third season to grip them, but for me, seeing that pilot, waiting week to week, I hadn't seen a show like it. I'd never seen Sopranos, never seen The Wire, and it was the first show like it for me to discover.

That whole wait between seasons was insane, and for the first three seasons or so I just had almost no one to talk to about it. Then came season 4 and it exploded in popularity, and it was just fantastic to see this show I'd followed for years get the audience it deserved. By the time it ended it felt like I was at the end of this long journey that just had become such a common part of my life; it's the first series I got into from the ground floor and rode out 'till the end and I am so grateful I had that experience, but from time to time am jealous of people who got to simply inhale it with no waits between Half Measures, Full Measures, Box Cutter, Salud, One Minute, Gliding Over All, etc. Hell, even the second season, when Tuco kidnaps Walt and Jesse at the end of that episode? That week was a looooooong wait.

I really do miss the show but have yet to see one end so perfectly with every piece falling into place quite like it did.

I can actually recall the previews for it on AMC back before it had even aired and i believe i was at an ex gf's house when the show had premiered back in 2008, i think her nephew was watching it or something as i could definitely recall a couple scenes that i caught from the corner of my eye while i was busy doing some other things.

I honestly don't know why i never bothered checking it out before now, it's not like it wasn't on my radar or that i wasn't aware of it and i certainly wasn't trying to avoid it. Somehow i guess i was just subconsciously able to keep my distance from the show until five years later after all is said and done lol that and found some way to completely disconnect from any conversation about it that would lead to any spoilers.

If I can go back in time, I'd rather have watched the show episode by episode weekly, season by season. However, I was one of the ones who watched it after Felina aired. To me, "binge watching" stuff loses the effect of the show being watched. It builds zero suspense since you zip to the next episode in a few moments and when you finish the series in a few days or a week, you go: "I'm okay, I'm done!"

You had a 6 year run with it, to me that'd be the funner thing as well. Not to mention, even though I didn't seek them out, spoilers and summaries were out in the air. You didn't have that watching weekly.

[implanted_microchip]

Yeah, I remember honestly not being sure what was going to happen for a long time or if characters were going to survive; season 4 was built as a potential final season since they'd not been greenlit for a fifth yet, and being aware of that throughout the entire buildup of Jesse turning on Walt, Gus closing in, Skyler giving the money away, it all was just the most wonderfully stressful thing I'd ever seen. I definitely think seeing it in full, knowing there's more to come would take away from that feeling.

Also that wait from season 4 to 5, with it ending on the "I won" line and then the reveal that Walt did poison Brock, that was some serious shit to sit on for a year!

Oh, and season 3's ending was probably the most painful season to season wait I've ever had, with Jesse pointing the gun at Gale right before pulling the trigger. Hannibal season 2 might equal that for me in time though.

Plus I remember so many people online having the craziest discussions; in season 4, way before anything on the show implied it, someone had the theory that Walt poisoned Brock with the Ricin cigarette. There was a crazy debate over this on the Breaking Bad subreddit and it came down to two guys literally betting to drink their own piss on camera if they were wrong, which, when it turned out Walt did indeed poison Brock, the guy actually filmed and posted. That was probably the most amazing thing I've personally witnessed happen from a TV show.

I would've preferred Better Call Saul being before Breaking Bad. I think the show will be GREAT but if it takes place during the timeline of the show it's just gonna dilute the intensity and how great it was. I don't want this show getting anymore than 2 seasons either. 3 max. Anything else more, unless the best fucking shit ever written, would be a slog.

Oddly he missed going to Twisters (Los Pollos Hermanos).

[Sarah K]

I finished this last weekend.

​I feel like I need to go back and rewatch the last season. I crammed it all in within a few days, and I really didn't find myself enjoying it or fully paying attention.

One of the main things that threw me off was that in all the seasons before, it was such a slow progression. Like, 4 seasons were one year. And then at the end it was like... okay, well, it's a year later now!

And I keep wondering what happened to Jesse.

Now I'm gonna go back and start reading this thread.

[Space Suicide]

Speaking of Jesse, anyone like my Yeah Bitch shirt?

[richardp]

And I keep wondering what happened to Jesse.

The way I see it, even though Jesse got away, did he REALLY? His prints are all over that lab, so police can easily tie him to the scene, AND even if he WERE to get away and somehow not get thrown in jail, he'll never recover mentally, so he's fucked either way. Jesse still doesn't technically have a happy ending.

[Sutekh]

plus both of his girlfriends were murdered... TBH I imagine he would kill himself or become a worse addict. Very bleak ending! I think they should have left it at season 4

[Space Suicide]

Nah, killing Gus wasn't a good enough ending. We needed to see and know more past that. I do however think the story wasn't dragged out or longer than necessary and they ended on a high note on a fifth season (sixth season if you're one of those people).

[Sarah K]

Wait... The second girlfriend died, too?

Yeah they shot her at her house while Jesse sat in the car and watched it unwillingly.

Finally watched Breaking Bad. I wanted to write a huge-ass WOT about it, but eventually realized that if you never even gave the show a chance, then you are either an idiot or you are only watching movies - though it's pretty much a long movie, but hey, I get that many people can't bother sitting through seasons.


I guess my only point will be that watching Breaking Bad made me realize how fucking bad Dexter was. Season 2, 4 and 7 were of course great (and we can give 1 a pass; started out mehhhh, ended brilliantly), but the rest (especially 8) just goes to show the difference. Breaking Bad might got off to a weaker start, I mean, do you want to watch a middle-aged man cooking meth, or a serial killer who works for the police? Thought so. But Breaking Bad was just snowballing out of control from the beginning (though ep 2 and 3 were a bit bumpy still) and never stopped. You know you've struck gold when a single line from an actor leaves you more dumbfounded than all the explosions in the world, and it's still just season 1. Dexter skyocketed to the Moon in season 2, but season 3 was the complete opposite. Zero creativity, a complete shitfest. I've always been butthurt for incompetent writers ruining Dexter, but I just saw what it could have been, and I'm even more butthurt now. At least before watching Breaking Bad, I thought the idea of maintaining a certain quality of a great show, not to mention possibly increasing it over time was impossible, and I never even dreamed about a proper ending, because shows just pack so much unexplainable, unfinishable shit into their show for the sake of hype, that when it comes to tieing them together, it can only result in massive dissapointments. BB proved me wrong.

It was also marvelous how they presented morality to us. There is Dexter season 8, where the main character is literally putting words into your head what to think about him and his actions, because the writers knew they are not capable of doing it in any other way. It was depressing. Then there was BB, where you were confused who to root for, who to hate, and no one helped you out. There was no Michael C. Hall (who was brilliant by the way, I'm not blaming him for season 8) explaining you the script of the fucking show.

And finally, leaving Dexter rotting in its grave, I'd like to thank the showrunner and writers of BB for not bullshitting me. All right, the cold opens in S2 were cheeky, but other than that, I never felt that things were needlessly hyped up. Everything that was hinted might happen, actually happened in one way or another, and even some more!

edit: Oh, yeah, one does not simply talk about watching BB without mentioning Ozymandias. I checked the series on tvgraph, you know, a graph which shows every episodes rating and seasons on a... well, you guessed it, on a graph. So I was in season 2 when it first started to annoy me that there is one episode which got a 10 out of 10, lol. It is actually the only episode out of any series on IMDB having that rating, so naturally, I was sooo ready to inform everyone why it is only a 9. Let's just say I aborted the mission...

[implanted_microchip]

@Volband (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/member.php?u=3656) just think, Dexter's final episodes aired the very same night, moments after Breaking Bad's final episodes. The Dexter subreddit was so fucking hilarious that whole time and, I'm not even kidding, rather than bothering to post an episode discussion thread the mods just stickied an Ozymandias discussion thread the night it aired. It was one of their most popular threads ever.

Breaking Bad got complex human morality right in a way few other series ever have (Mad Men is certainly up there, and Sopranos was and remains the king of it and the model others base themselves off of). The symbolism, the subtleties, the slow burns and flourishes, the acting -- it just had all you need to intelligently and believably craft a compelling cast with compelling motives and intricate identities. Jesse's arc may be one of the best TV's ever had. Him going from an abrasive supporting character who was planned to be killed off and turning into one of the most sympathetic and layered individuals in the series was just amazing, and Aaron Paul's performance really sold it beyond belief.

If you haven't, give Better Call Saul a go -- I was a fan of BrBa from the night S01E01 aired and was extremely hesitant about a spin-off that started as a joke on the BrBa DVD commentaries and writer's room and turned into a real thing, but it's phenomenal and maintains its own identity while comfortably sitting in the ABQ that BrBa created. Same cinematography, same creative talent, and Odenkirk is beyond amazing in it along with Johnathan Banks as Mike. I doubt you'll be disappointed.

Also, while we're talking satisfying conclusions to series -- Michael Hall has the bizarre status of being in one of the most satisfying endings of a series and one of the most insulting endings of a series ever. His HBO show Six Feet Under was superb and many consider it's finale the best out there. It's about as complete an end to a long-running show as I've seen. Sopranos' ending is fiercely debated but is largely seen as genius now and I love it. The Wire wraps things up wonderfully. I guess what I'm saying is HBO knows what they're doing more often than not when they get to a finale. Mad Men's left some sour, but overall was loved and I was thoroughly satisfied by it's final run as well. There are some excellent finales out there, it's just unfortunately nowhere near as plentiful as the awful ones (or all the shows that have no finale at all due to being cut short).

"I think Holly's performance in "Ozymandias" was better than all of season 8 from Dexter." Ahahaha, so true. That thread is golden!

Boardwalk Empire's finale was pretty good too, especially if we consider that HBO cut the season short, giving less time to the creators to finish up with everything. But the problem with Dexter was not that they were a bunch of pussies in the finale. The whole last season was a disgrace. Man, at the end of S4 I was just sitting there, paralyzed. Not even IRL deaths or tragedies fazed me as much as the last scene of that season. Little did I know, that in season 8 I will be laughing my ass off during every episode.

Don't even want to talk about it! Especially when there's Breaking Bad, where there were times I hated the main character. Like, a moment just came when I said to myself enough is enough, I want this asshole taken down. But later I changed my mind. Then changed my mind again. Then I had absolutely no idea what to think. The funniest thing, this series worked better than ANY drug prevention we were subjected in school. It was always the same mantra in preventions, how X and Y died, car accident ,blahblah, who cares? But the series showed all the highs of drugs, which in contrast made the lows all the more powerful. On one hand, the scenes where they snort meth just peaks my interest, I am so curious of that feeling the actors are portraying, like their brains are being frozen, but watching Jesse and co. just getting by aimlessly was really depressing. So unless I become some high-profile guy who can get his hands on Heisenberg-level stuff, no meth for me, sorry!

What I also liked in this series was the directing as well! Usually it's either boring, or overly-complicated, but it felt good picking up on the hints, or feeling the emotions they tried to show with the directing. And I'm talking about simple stuff, like when Gus walked into the lab, first it was shot from below, only seeing his steps through the cracks, then the camera slowly went down with him vertically as he descended on the stairs. It did a great job making you feel that the fucking boss has just arrived. Basically, the directing was enjoyable to aspiring directors, who could analyze every single frame and the meaning behind them, but to casual viewers like me as well.

I liked Jesse too, though not initially. It was S1E4 when he went home when I first started to click with him. Part of the reason my favorite season is the 4th (subject to change, but that's how I feel right now) because that was when they really put him in the spotlight. It was heartbreaking seeing him so proud of saving Mike, because you could just feel Jesse desperately tried to belong, or with mr. Trent Rizzo's words, do something that matters; but he was just being led. The other reason I liked S4 a lot was because of Gus. When that motherfucker walked right into the sniper shots I couldn't believe my eyes. Or killing off the Cartel, while the music is blasting into my ears, and Gus is just walking like he gives no fucks.

I will definitely watch Better Call Saul, but so far I only gotten lke 15mins into the first episode. I really hoped it would actually start with him instead of the way it's currently going down.

[SM Rollinger]

How/when was Walt able to poison Brock with the Lilly of the Valley towards the end of 4th season? He is only in Jesse's house for less than a minute when he comes over and Brock and Andrea are there.

Ive been watching the series again and this has been bugging me.

I believe Saul did it for him since he was getting closer to Andrea and Brock. Sometime in Season 5 Saul pretty explicitly stated (or hinted) to Walt he was unhappy with having had to do it.

Such a great show. A top fiver for me, for sure. Maybe even my #1. Regardless of ranking, “Walter White” has got to be the character with the greatest arc in the history of television.

Now I want to re-watch the whole thing again...

I've seen the first season of Breaking Bad so many times I could care less if I ever see that season again.

2 > 4 > 5> 6> 1 > 3

Yes, I'm a season 3 hater.

[theruiner]

Ok, now I have to rank seasons, too. ha ha

4>3>5.2>2>1>5.1

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Sooo I finally (I know, I get this backlash all the time) started watching this last week and Holy shit... I finished season 1 last night and started 2. Cranston is fucking amazing in this role, and the supporting cast is excellent to boot. It comes with this real feeling, but also feels sort of slapstick at times. Cannot wait to see what unfolds in this world of epic craziness.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

If anyone had to rank the seasons... Where would you put them? I am currently on episode 11 of season 4. So far I would go:

2
4
3
1

So the ten year anniversary of this wonderful show that was as close to perfect as you can get is coming up. Let’s discuss.

This is in my Top 10 scenes. For me it’s the moment Walt transforms into Heisenberg:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLMF7p8hO7A


What a scene ! Walt’s expression is something else . Cranston is a master .

What i love about this scence is that moments before he threatened the “others” he offered to help one of them by giving him purchassing advice ,a second later his “Heisenberg” kicked in and he walked out to confront them.

Can you imagine how monumentally lame it would've been if they ended Breaking Bad and then said "surprise, we're actually giving Bryan Cranston his own made-for-TV movies that take place apart from the events of the series but continuing the main series without him in it?"

AMC. Jesus Christ. Why the fuck did I open my mouth? (Granted there’s no word as to what it’s about, but there’s absolutely no reason for this to exist.)

Yeah, I gotta say, Vince Gilligan has given me no reason to doubt him at this point. We don't know yet if it even has anything to do with Walt (my guess is probably not). My first thought was that it could be about Jesse. Or maybe a similar type of story with unrelated characters? I'm definitely going to wait until I learn more about it before making any judgements, but I'm a huge fan of The X-Files, Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul, so as far as I'm concerned, he's earned the benefit of the doubt. If you turn out to be right, I agree that will rob Breaking Bad of its perfect ending a bit.

[henryeatscereal]

Well...

A prequel isn't necessary, we already have Better Call Saul and i don't care to see a Walt story pre-Heisenberg.
A sequel would be uncalled for, i like the ending the way it is ...maybe you can tell a "Pinkman story", but even that sounds forced.

So i'm not excited, but i'm curious because "Better Call saul" has been excellent so far...

[theruiner]

I mean, on the one hand, this seems totally unnecessary and dipping into the well too many times usually doesn't turn out well.

On the OTHER hand, in Gilligan we trust. So.

[sonic_discord]

Maybe AMC was going to do it no matter what because it's probably the most successful show they've ever had and rather than let them fuck it up, Vince decided he'd try to make it work as best as he could.

[neorev]

I have no issue with a prequel/sequel/whatever. Better Call Saul is a genius prequel. When I first heard about Better Call Saul, I was like "Oh no, don't do it." But Vince delivered, proved me wrong, and it's amazing. So I trust him to make it right. So bring it on. Anything is better than more Walking Dead on AMC, that show is terrible.

I'm at least happy that they took a moment to say something regarding what this will be about, because I'm pretty sure the movie announcement coming the day after the Walking Dead's movie announcement was leaving a gross taste in some people's mouths. Mine included. I trust Vince, and enjoyed what I've seen of BCS, but so help me god if Walter White comes back in anything other than a flashback...

I just wish that more things that stood perfectly fine on their own would be left as they were. Or that another new and equally compelling story would come about instead. We don't need to bring dead shows back to life every 5 years, but - such is Hollywood. Fingers are crossed that this lives up to expectations, but reservations are definitely being kept.

I'm happy for sequels and prequels but it REALLY waters down how potent the series is by adding supplemental material.

[sonic_discord]

I'm happy for sequels and prequels but it REALLY waters down how potent the series is by adding supplemental material.

I don't know, I think the argument could be made that Better Call Saul has added replay value to Breaking Bad. I think my desire to re-watch Breaking Bad (and my enjoyment of the episodes that I have re-watched) has increased because of how well all of the tertiary characters and their backstories have been developed. There's so much to watch for and little details and things you may have missed the first time around that BCS continues to dole out. Maybe it's just me, though. If they fuck this up, then yes, it will have detracted from the BB legacy.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

I ALWAYS wanted to know what Jesse did or happened to him after that brutal torture he went through before Walt saved him. It can be a really impactful plot and even more character development for Jesse since they really put him through the ringer in the entire series. A part of me wishes they just left well enough alone since the finale was pretty much a perfect sendoff in my opinion.

I came to post this too but ya beat me. Still, this news has me PUMPED. I don't think it'll adversely affect how Breaking Bad ended and (to reiterate what I said earlier in this thread) I have complete faith that Vince Gilligan will deliver something great that only adds to Breaking Bad's legacy. He's certainly given me no reason to worry.

[october_midnight]

Great googly moogly. In a new interview, Bob Odenkirk says not only is a Breaking Bad movie real... It's already secretly been shot? (https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/news/1094137-bob-odenkirk-confirms-breaking-bad-movie-already-filmed)

[ghostaustin]

I'm hesitantly looking forward to the movie. I love the way the show ended and I kinda wish they would leave it be. Mainly because I don't think I can endure any more heartbreak for these characters. I literally lost sleep over things that happened during the last few episodes of Breaking Bad.

That said, I don't think they would go into this unless they had a really compelling story to tell.

[october_midnight]

Apparently we’re looking at an October 11 Netflix release of the 122 minute “El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie”.

I'm certainly intrigued, but...it was kind of nice not knowing where Jesse was going to go after he escaped. I feel like the exhilaration of him being free is going to be a bit dampened once we know what happened to him.

Unless what happens to him is just as exhilarating. It is written and directed by Vince Gilligan, after all. And he hasn't failed us yet.

I certainly have faith that it'll be interesting. I guess I was just satisfied with him riding off into the sunset...er, I mean, the night...and haven't really felt a need for any sort of followup. I like that the universe has been expanded with Better Call Saul, but at the moment, this extension feels a little less essential. I'm cautiously optimistic about it though.

[M1ke]

Vince Gilligan has done really well with Better Call Saul, but that trailer didn't leave me feeling optimistic.....

I'm going to watch it for sure, but I'm not feeling optimistic about it.

With all due respect, we won't know if that's true or not until after we've seen El Camino. You may be right, but I'd argue that Jesse was one of two main characters of the show and as much as I loved the ending, his story was left ambiguously open-ended and somewhat unresolved. A proper conclusion to his arc may bring some closure you didn't know you wanted, not to mention that it'll just be nice to revisit many of the characters and locations from the show. It doesn't feel like an unnecessary and opportunistic nostalgia-fueled cash-grab at all to me, but rather a companion piece to complement the original show and tie up some loose ends. I can't wait.

...his story was left ambiguously open-ended and somewhat unresolved.

I personally didn't find it to be ambiguous or unresolved. The resolution was that Jesse was free from the hell he was in for five seasons. It was his chance to ride off into the sunset, and it didn't matter where he went after that. I understand Breaking Bad's mantra is that nobody gets away scot-free and that everyone suffers in the end, but if anyone deserved to get away, it was Jesse. And who knows, maybe he still will. I just know I'll be pretty disappointed if we go through all of this and he ends up dead or incarcerated. I don't mind them walking that tightrope of will he/won't he get away though.

Yeah, he was free, but logic tells me that the police would be hunting him down and a life on the run isn't exactly riding off into the sunset. I agree that it was a mostly acceptable ending and you don't necessarily need to know exactly where he went. As for your statement that "if anyone deserved to get away, it was Jesse," I somewhat agree and somewhat disagree with that sentiment. He has definitely suffered a lot, but he also spent YEARS cooking & selling meth and killed at least two people (though one was in self-defense). As sympathetic of a character as he is, he's certainly not innocent. He may have endured enough suffering at this point to balance that out, but I personally have always wondered what happened next for him. And I highly doubt that they'll kill him. I think he'll go through more hell to fully escape and finally make a new life and fine peace in Alaska or New Zealand.

I don't see him as innocent. He was dealing drugs even before he teamed up with Walter. However, he at least had a heart and something resembling a conscience, and it's clear by the end of everything that he was through with that life and wanted something new. He may not be innocent, but he at least deserved a chance at redemption, which is what I'm hoping this new film will be about for the most part.

I completely agree. And I think most people also feel that way, which is why he will more than likely be redeemed. Like I said, I highly doubt they'll kill him off because, as you put it, he's suffered enough and has a good heart and deserves a shot at redemption. All I was trying to say is that he needs to climb out of the hell he helped create before he can ride off into the sunset, which is what I believe this movie will be: his journey from a hellish living nightmare to redemption and a peaceful life.

It really reminds me of how Star Wars has been branding their stand-alone movies as "A Star Wars Story" and does seem to hint at the possibility that it may not be the only Breaking Bad movie. But who else deserves their own movie? Saul, Mike, and even Gus' stories are already being fleshed out in Better Call Saul. I don't think they have another character that's important and interesting enough to merit their own movie.

I am also basically avoiding the internet all day Friday.

Fun movie, a nice epilogue. Never doubted they would do something cool and never ever put the legacy at risk. And I was right, this is freaking cool.

Just watch it and enjoy the ride, the easter eggs, the callbacks...

Still think BB is the best TV series ever.

[richardp]

I liked the film a lot, but it was essentially pointless.

Not true.

It is a continuation of the aftermath of Walter White and what the Nazi's put Jesse through, as well as a final send-off for the character. In the final episode of the TV show, the final shot is Jesse driving away in the El Camino screaming, where here the final shot is Jesse driving away happily into the Alaskan wilderness. El Camino was about Jesse moving past the trauma and FINALLY finding the freedom he's been searching for the entire series. I don't think that is very pointless

I don't think that is very pointlessI get all of that, but in the end we are left with a feeling that Jesse made it out. That was the whole point of the ending scene of Jesse driving away in the series finale. This film just explains what happened after that, but leaves you with the same feeling in the end. Again, I really enjoyed it and will likely watch it again whenever I rewatch the series, but for me it felt more like an epilogue to an already complete story, rather than its own thing, which is totally fine.

[richardp]

I get all of that, but in the end we are left with a feeling that Jesse made it out. That was the whole point of the ending scene of Jesse driving away in the series finale.

See, I kinda disagree with that, because, at least for me, seeing Jesse driving away never meant that Jesse was free. It always felt, to me, that Jesse had just finally gotten free from THAT situation, but of course he wasn't free. You knew that the cops would be after him, you knew he'd have no place to go, you knew he'd be emotionally fucked up after literally everything that happened for the 5 seasons proceeding the end. So I would say that El Camino DID have a point, in that was able to naturally progress the final episode to a more thorough and fulfilling end.

[neorev]

My girl and I watched it tonight and we both thought it was great. It felt like two episodes that could've closed out the final season. The way they left it off with Jesse escaping in the final episode left a lot of unanswered questions. To me, THIS is less of a movie and more of the proper ending to the series as to me this series was always about Walter AND Jesse. Walter's story felt complete whereas Jesse's did not... until now.

[ItsChrisRoss]

Last night the wife and I watched El Camino. Did I like it? Yes. Do I think it was needed? Not necessarily.

I enjoyed it as a whole, but it played out like two episodes meshed together than an actual movie.

Glad to see Jesses story play out and glad we got closure. Good to see Cranston’s cameo along with Mike, Jane, Badger and Skinny Pete.

Great cinematography by Gilligan.

I woke up today with a slight twinge of mourning for Breaking Bad. Now, other than Better Call Saul, we may never see anything breaking bad related again.

I thought it was alright. I was disappointed in it's absolute practicality. In a way, this is much more of an apocryphal story that fills in the blanks about Jesse and where his arc landed.

The story sort of shots the bed in the second half. It stops being about Jesse's character growth. He physically literally escapes, but the movie cares less about his emotional journey, and so he neither escapes not recovers that way and we aren't made to care.

Given how well the show ended i see this as a bit of a net negative.

Enjoyed El Camino and I had really forgotten how great rhe cunematography was on BB. It did seem like Jesse's 180 from "beaten dog" to "man on a mission" was a bit rushed though.

That was just kind of meh.

It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.

Just kind of meh.

The movie lived up to my high hopes. I loved breaking bad so I was very happy about this movie. Not going to go into detail, but I would highly recommend watching it. 9/10

I really liked it. In the closing episodes of BB, Walter got to wrap up his loose ends, now it was Jessie’s turn.

I didn't realize this about the pizza, but now that they explained it in a earlier episode - it's like ohhhhh yeahhhhh, duh!

I always questioned why it was never cut! That's awesome... Completely forgot about that scene in season 4.
