Breaking Good - 511 – Confessions – Instant Take

Did we just watch one of the best hours of television, or The Best Ever? Jim and A.Ron debate that point as they struggle to process the absolutely incredible hour of television that was Breaking Bad episode 511, “Confessions”. All the pieces were there the whole time, hidden in plain sight. But no one saw Walt’s “confession” and the impact it would have. No one forsaw the consequences of a single boosted bag of weed. And what else is lurking out there, in two flash forwards and an enigmatic scene between Meth Damon and his Uncles of Anarchy? I sure as hell don’t know, but can’t wait to find out!

511 – “Confessions” – Jim’s Instant Take Review

I feel like I’m watching my child compete in the Olympics when I watch Breaking Bad. I know that I’m watching something extraordinary but there’s an ever-present fear of it all going horribly wrong. The last show I can remember that sucked me in this much was LOST. We all know how that turned out……

510 – “Buried” – Jim’s Instant Take Review

The first thing that struck me after viewing this episode was how consistently tense it was. Other than Huel and Kuby’s silverfish routine, every scene had me on the edge of my seat wondering how it would play out – who would talk and who would stay silent – who would be dead by the…

510 – “Buried” – A.Ron’s “Instant Take” Review

Tonight the biggest question I had on my mind coming into the second episode of the back half of Season Five of Breaking Bad was, “will Vince Gilligan maintain the stakes he set with the premier? Or, having thrown down the gauntlet, will he pump the brakes a little, let us catch our breath, and…

509 – “Blood Money” – Aron’s “Instant Take” Review

That was an incredible episode. As you know if you listened to our preseason coverage, I was very nervous about how this season could go, and what impact it could have on Breaking Bad’s legacy. If this episode is any indication, Vince Gilligan is not playing around. One of the things I was most nervous…

Walking Dead Review – 207 – “Pretty Much Dead Already”

An unequivocably excellent episode to cap the mid-season off. Now, of course the same things that drive me crazy about certain characters are still driving me crazy, but this episode went and took those “bugs” and made them “features”, to use programming parlance. What I mean by that is that negative character traits, which up…

Walking Dead Review – 206 – “Secrets”

Well, this is the episode where this ridiculous show roped me into another season of watching. Unless they drop the ball really badly, like, say, crash two 737’s into each other over Herschel’s farm, I’m in. There was a lot of silly stuff, to be sure, and I think we should have been at this…

Walking Dead Review – “Chupacabra” – 205

Tonight’s episode was pretty good, and then it made me as angry as I’ve ever been at a TV show. A hate formed inside me for a character so white hot, that I couldn’t think rationally. I blacked out for the entire ensuing commercial break. I’m sure you know at what point and at what…
