Looking for A.Ron’s take? In an episode of Breaking Bad that had the intensity of a season-ender, I had to keep reminding myself that we’re still 4 episode away from the climax! I’m honestly not sure my mind can handle another icy conversation with Gus or any more tension between Walt, Jess & Mike. But…
Well, here is our little experimental insta-cast! It’s 15 minutes of raw, un-rehearsed reaction. It doesn’t have a full recap, or in-depth analysis, we ask more questions than anything else. Let us know what you think. If you like it, and we can fit it into our schedules, we’ll try it again.
Looking for Jim’s take? Gus didn’t seem like he was particularly clever or all powerful this episode, did he? I’d almost go so far as to say that the cartel is to Gus what Gus is to Walt. Gus is in over his head, negotiating from positions of weaknesses, his foe is dealing with him…
Looking for Jim’s take? With all due respect to Hank and Mike, Skyler might be the best investigator on the show. Her ability to make connections, recall previously incidental points to complete an overall pictures, and sweat information out of Walt are unparalleled. I’m wondering if the last two episodes will change any Skyler hater’s…
Looking for A.Ron’s take? After a couple bridge episodes, as I called them in my “Thirty-Eight Snub” and “Open House” reviews, Breaking Bad charges back to full form this week with a stellar episode packed full of action, surprises and comedy.
Looking for Jim’s take? Wow. I know a lot of people were sort of losing the faith in the show the past two episodes, but this one delivered, and promises so much for next week and the weeks beyond. From the cold (heh) open to the final scene, this episode was relentlessly entertaining. I might…
Looking for Jim’s take? First things first. As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow Jim is going to try to claim that Meat Eating Man (Saul’s bodyguard) having to take a dump at the White residence scores a point for his prediction that he’d fail him in a moment of need. If he does,…
Spoilers ahoy. Do not read this unless you’ve seen the episode or don’t mind it being blown wide open. I knew half way through this episode that this one was going to be tough to write about. Vince Gilligan seems to be intent on moving around his pieces on the board and slowing things down…
“Thirty-Eight Snub” definitely felt like a bridge episode. All of the storylines are sitting on super-volcanoes, just waiting to erupt, with devastating side-effects for everyone. Walt has to be ultra-paranoid right now. Gus obviously has his house on LOCK DOWN. Jesse and Walt aren’t getting near him at this point. I don’t believe for a…
Spoilers ahoy. Do not read this unless you’ve seen the episode or don’t mind it being blown wide open. WOW. I bet two things, right now: 1) I’m going to open A LOT of instant take’s with that word, and 2), boy I bet Walt wishes he had Tuco back, huh? Tuco was a lot…
