Community Manager Water Bottle Posted November 5, 2011 Community Manager Share Posted November 5, 2011 I hear a lot of people like this show, so here's the official place to discuss it. I haven't seen it, but I know a lot of you have. So, how good is this show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Best show on TV. EASILY!I think it's greatness has ruined every other drama on TV for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 So I'm about halfway through Season 2. It was a little hard to get into at first- heavy subject, and a slow burn, but I like it now. Question- Am I supposed to feel sympathy for Walt? He is one of the least likable protagonists I've ever seen on TV. He's a chronic liar, a hot head, not to mention a coward- he lets Jesse takes all the risk and then blames him for every problem they run into. Good thing for Jesse, he's the best part of the show. So far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far.It's up to you whether you like him or not. That's the beauty of his character, he's not a hero, he's just the guy who does what he thinks he needs to do. He's smart but he makes lots of stupid decisions. He's a real human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I'm not sure I like Skylar either. She is pretty annoying. Jesse is actually the only one I like at this point. It's a captivating show even if it is outlandish. Walt doesn't have to be cooking meth. He has plenty of options and outs. But I guess that is the fascinating part about it. watching this guy make all these bad choices as he deals with his illness/pending death.

CoolioD1 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Deep down he enjoys the rush of it all really, after a life of what we could assume is extreme mediocrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 And if you think Walt is unlikeable now, wait until you've caught up completely. My God! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I can only imagine, because I can barely stand him now. Every time he looses his cool and blows up and screams I'm just thinking "asshole!". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 He does some prety despicable stuff to save his own skin later on. But I'm constantly switching over from sympathising with him to hating him. And that's the intention, so that's why I think he's the best character on tv.

mulder42 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It's one of the best shows out there. Not for everybody, but if you like totally awesome, kick-ass characters, this is the program for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Loved the first season but I couldn't make it halfway through the 2nd season. It just got really boring and I couldn't stand Walter's wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incarnadine Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 This has been a top 3 show for me since it started, but this year it hit #1. Walt is turning into an evil genius, anyone who saw the final scene of the season finale will know just how much he was thinking ahead and just how far he was willing to go. A damn shame there's just 1 season left, but at least there's a lot of time for the writers to map it out and give the show a proper conclusion.

Plain Old Tele Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Boring? Really? I mean, I can understand if people find MAD MEN slow-going, but even when it's deliberate, BB is so pulpy and darkly comedic and violent that I can't imagine calling it boring. Every season has its moments where it slows down to set things up down the road, but not only does each season end with a bang, but cumulatively the seasons build on each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockNrollaDIM Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I got chills at the Season 2 finale. The chain of events leading up to that, wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiger Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Loved the first season but I couldn't make it halfway through the 2nd season. It just got really boring and I couldn't stand Walter's wife.Yep, "annoying" is her middlename in that season, but just fight through it. She gets to be a lot less of a pain in the ass later.

Incarnadine Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Season 4 was amazing, one of the best seasons of any show ever. When gus walked out of the room and adjusted his tie I was "WTF?", then he turned and we saw this, and I was speechless.http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5153/episode413gusface560.jpgFigured I better edit the picture to a link to avoid spoiling anything.
