Breaking Bad

Post by **Shirley** » Mon Sep 29, 2014 9:31 am

I'm dragging today. After I watched the show I mentioned above, they showed a series of short interviews with the actors and Gilligan about the episode. Couldn't turn that off. Then, the next one started - the episode with the Hank-Skyler meeting in the diner, then the Skyler-Marie confrontation. It ended with the awesome scene where Lydia visits the dirty new meth lab that isn't producing high enough quality. She has Todd and the Nazis take over new management.

What a great fucking show.

Of course, I didn't get to bed until like 1:30. Dammit.

That was my Sunday afternoon/evening last week.

I just spent 20 minutes rereading this entire thread. Had to avoid as we were watching on Netflix starting after the finale was already over.

How did I do? Did I have many funny, thought-provoking comments?

I was sad I missed the protagonist argument in real time.

I need that photo as an oil painting hanging in my house.

It'd be better as a velvet painting.

It's referencing Martin Luther nailing the 95 theses, right?

Post by **Shirley** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 10:20 am

Yeah, am I supposed to recognize that door? Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't.

Update: Google helped me out. It's some LDS painting of Jesus knocking on a door. He is the One who knocks.

(although it was actually Jesse who knocked)

I wouldn't recognize it either except that it constantly shows up on my Facebook feed with the caption "Share, if you would let him in."

Are you forgetting the famous scene with Skylar?

Guessing that Dave is referring to this...

Yeah, Walt was talking to Skylar about her fear of him being shot like Gale. That's when he gave her the line "I am the one who knocks." But, like I said, he actually wasn't. He sent Jesse to do it.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Thu Feb 26, 2015 12:08 pm

Walt sees Jesse as a son, who is also Him.

I just blew your mind, didn't I?

A real Thomas Kinkade wouldn't need all this exposition

Jesus didn't knock on anyone's door, if you want to take it literally.

And as I previously stated about the knocking Jesus picture, that whole thing is a metaphor because it's the door to your heart. There's no door handle. You have to let him in.

Ya know, I was going to say that Jesus is just standing in front of the door handle but then there's a picture taken of him knocking from the right, and lo and behold...no door handle! Why can't you simultaneously have a door handle and be able to let him in? I mean, even if he wanted to just come in whether you let him in or not...why does he need a fucking handle? He's Jesus! Can't he just walk through the door?

There's a contact at an Albuquerque law firm I work with that has the last name Eisenberg. Close enough to be kinda cool, right?

Jesus is like a vampire. he has to be invited or he cannot cross the threshold.

So, after a couple years of being the only guy I know who had never watched Breaking Bad, and after watching all the episodes of Better Call Saul, I finally decided to bite the bullet. I'm in the middle of a crushing period in which I have a short business trip every week for five weeks. So, I grabbed my daughter's portable dvd player, and went to the library and rented the first season of Breaking Bad. I'm working my way through the series, about halfway through the second season, now. Maybe I can get through everything by Christmas. I got some real pleasure yesterday out of seeing the introduction of Saul Goodman. This will continue to be a very good way to kill time on airplanes.

It's a great show. Maybe the best. Enjoy the ride.

I resisted watching for a long time, finally broke down and watched the whole series. Great great show and possible the best series finally ever.

Yeah ok, this is pretty good

S2 - Spooge just got his head crushed, and Gretchen's still driving that car even though she's broke. I bet Skyler never finds out.

Just completed season 3. Those final episodes of each season are always wild ones!

sancarlos · Post by **sancarlos** » Fri Jul 31, 2015 2:18 pm

Just finished the final episode of the final season. Took me awhile to work my way through all the seasons, but man it was worth it.

Were you as shocked as I was that this all took place in Walt, Jr'.s snowglobe?

It's a hoax.

Dammit. Well, good actually. That would have been silly.

I was in New Mexico a couple of weeks ago, and was pleasantly surprised to see that they had a whole "Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul" section in the Albuquerque airport gift shop. I resisted the temptation to buy the "Heisenberg" hat, but I did come home with a "Better Call Saul" refrigerator magnet.

I'm going to ABQ for Thanksgiving and am tempted to visit the fast food place that served as Gus Fring's headquarters. It's called Twisters, but I understand they have some Pollos Hermanos stuff on the wall.

I have one of these.
