They still haven't shown season 3 in the UK. This show gets too little love over here.

I recently watched the first three seasons for the first time. I'm seriously kicking myself because I finished it about 3 weeks ago, and I want it to continue now. Seriously one of the best "cliffhangers" I've ever seen on a show.

Pretty awesome premiere - the first five minutes where we finally get to find out what happened after Jesse pulled the trigger were just amazing. Gus is obviously a ruthless son of a bitch and is going to be the next "problem" that Walt and Jesse have to solve. Still not entirely sure why he did what he did to his second-hand man like that, but maybe they'll get more into that next episode.

Probably because he was seen at the crime scene
And to show how bad ass he is |

Yeah. I think it was a couple things. First, the guy fucked up. He got himself seen. Second, it shows that NOBODY is immune. Showed that he will straight fuck someone's shit up even if they've been really loyal before, if they so much as fuck up. Third, I think it was almost a sign to them.. saying like "Ok, now NOBODY knows anything about your recipe. Start cooking."
But there's no way Walt and Jesse are going to keep working for this guy. Unless things are actually way better than Gus is acting. I mean, he wants the product. Maybe Jesse will quit fucking everything up and things will go good for a little while. |

Yeah, it sucked to have to wait over a year for the next season. Although it gave everyone a chance to catch up and notice all the small details, it seemed like forever.
I thought the premiere was good b/c it showed more backstory of how the lab was built and why Gus valued Gail so much. Interesting too that Gail's product wasn't as pure as Walt's. Gus clearly was sending Walt and Jesse a message with Victor that now that Gail is dead, they are his till they die. I know I was shocked to see Jesse's reaction to Gus killing Victor. Almost looked like he was smiling or smurking when it went down. For all of Walt's supposed genius, it appears that Jesse gets the business side of the drug system more than Walt. Walt didn't even eat after he saw it, meanwhile Jesse was starving. So, it will be an interesting dynamic to see the transition of Walt and Jesse from scared normal ppl to badass drug kingpins... |

Scene with Gus was amazing. I guessed what he was going to do shortly after he started, but it still had me transfixed.

Next week's preview seems to suggest that Walt and Jesse are beginning to put together a plan to kill Gus. I really do feel bad for the character of Gale - the guy was probably the biggest geek/pansy in the world, and he never would have hurt a fly, but he got shot in the eyeball anyways. The opening scene of the premiere really had me feeling for him.
I think it's going to be interesting to see where Jesse goes from here. His whole attitude after killing Gale suggests that a part of Jesse really is dead - his innocence is really, really gone now, and his attempts at keeping some "good" in him and not slipping down the heartless, destructive path of breaking bad will be interesting to watch. I think that might be why he was less fazed by the throat slitting than Walt was - Jesse just shot an innocent dude in the eye ball. Walt has killed before, but he's never had to look someone in the eyes and pull the trigger. He doesn't know what that feels like yet. Can't wait for the next episode. |

During the course of this show it seems to me that Jesse probably would never have "fallen"/"descended into badness" as much as he has if not for the influence of Walt.

With Gus killing Victor, I wonder if the lab notes left at Gale's place implicated Victor or Gus in some way. It would stand to reason if Victor was so upset after finding Gale that he knew he was in too deep to survive. Finally, it does seem like Walt and Jesse are reaching a point of no return. Both keep having to make ruthless choices in order to stay alive or keep their dealings a secret. In the process both are losing whatever innocence they once had. I like how their characters are constantly evolving. It's clear once they elimate Gus, they are gonna be on the fast track to controlling all the drug activity. Ironic too that Walt was compared to Gus by Saul initially. In the end, I bet he'll be Gus. And Jesse will either be crazy or Scarface by the end... |

I want to download each ep and then watch in blocks too. That's how I usually like to watch shows, but I never have the willpower to do it for this show. Still hoping Skyler dies ugly for the shit shes put Walt through.
I can't help but wonder how much longer this show can go though based on its premise. |

Pretty awesome episode last night. Jesse is fucking LOSING IT. I love the final shot of him in his trashed house alone, staring off, obviously totally fucked in the head from having shot Gale and all the other insane shit that's happened to him recently. I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up being Jesse's last season. I feel like they're going to push him so far over the edge this season that by the end, we'll WANT for him to die so he doesn't have to suffer the pain of life anymore.
Walt's actions didn't really sit too well with me though. He should be smarter than trying to kill Gus in the lab, or trying to get Mike to help him with the hit. Walt should know that Gus is two steps ahead of him and if Walt is ever going to get out from under Gus' thumb, he's going to have to come up with some kind of brilliant plan. |

This is a very addictive show to watch. One of the few consistent quality shows on TV now. And the continuity on it is perhaps the best I've seen with little errors. Each episode leaves you wanting more...

The most amazing thing about this show is that even filler episodes focused more on progressing side stories are intriguing. Hank's about to be a game changer.

That why I love Breaking Bad. Even if the pace of an episode is slow, it still manages to advance the story. I also love the realistic way the characters change, depending on their situation. Seeing the evolution of the cast itself and the story it tells is very intriguing TV. Every week has you waiting to see where they'll go next...

They aren't going to kill Jesse unless the show is ending or Aaron Paul wants out. The guy won an Emmy.

Yeah that's what I figure. But at some point I have to wonder just how far he is going to be pushed. He's been taking nothing but punches this whole show and I have to wonder with how steep a dive he's taken this season just how it's going to end up for him.

I was thinking that if any member of the immediate family was expendable it would be his brother or sister-in-law.

I'm really starting to think that Skyler might become more of a queenpin type character as the season progresses. Everything from the car wash idea to the gambling story to the fake tears during the dinner suggests to me that she's becoming a bit more conniving.

I'm kind of surprised that Walt hasn't taken better to her involving herself. I mean, I know he thought he had it all under control on his own, and you can see how agitated he gets when she talks about all of it. But at the same time, they got married for a reason and it seems that her intelligence and attention to detail may be something they both really have in common without realizing it. Like, they are really more alike than he would like to admit, and if she is willing to disregard the fact that he makes crystal meth then there should be a little something of a new spark there in their relationship.

Do you think Skyler is going to be what ends up saving Walt from Gus? I could see her coming up with some brilliant plan all of a sudden, or actually speaking with Gus face to face and changing everything.
