you guys are jerks.
By bumping the thread I thought maybe there was some news!!
The greatest moment of this show nobody talks about in great detail is when Mike briefly but instinctively pulls his gun on Fring in the first episode of the fourth season.
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:
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...
Ok, now I have to rank seasons, too. ha ha
4>3>5.2>2>1>5.1
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.
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
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.

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.)
Breaking Bad movie is coming because fuck you.
I'm in
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.
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...
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
