In the recap, we discuss Raging, tipping pet peeves, love letters to the American muscle car, Christ imagery, Eyebrows of Doom, adult conversations, who gets to wear the bacon gauntlet this week, the importance of a snack spread during high level criminal meetings, loyalty, Aaron Paul’s iron lock on next year’s Emmy awards, and the value of clean living, vitamins, and Googlefu.
We discuss ineffectual truck defense systems, Walt unexpectedly switching up the Big Lie for the Big Truth, Eyebrows landing jabs, but in the end being humiliated by a Coke machine, Jesse with the shakes, Walt Jr. being bought off, Walt being a self centered dick and subcontracting out the dirty work, a four cornered coinflip, and TUCKER!! Then Jesse shovels well, Mike polishes the Pinkman, Gus get’s a message, and Skyler protects the family from the man that protects the family that is protected by… wait. Did this just become an Allstate Commercial?
Moving on to the recap, we discuss Aztec badassery, Walt’s good vibrations, Jesse making good use of keys, Hank getting out, right before he gets pulled back in, the Incurable Cough of Death rearing it’s ugly, tuberculous head, knocking boots at the Casablanca, Tuvok’s mastery of the forklift, the least subtle assassination attempt of all time, and Walt’s overweening arrogance.
During the recap, we discuss Mike’s cold open, what a doozy of an episode this turned out to be, the fine art of card counting, what Hank may or may not know, how cool it would be to have Gale as a friend, how The French Connection influences Breaking Bad, if Saul has his eye on the Endgame Option, and what Jesse’s role will be in Gus’s organization moving forward.
During the recap, we discuss the fine art of fronting, ladder wielding pig riders, non-attached casinos, eyebrow submissions, Saul’s professional bathroom apocalypse, rice pudding gut rot, playing paranoia limbo, and the meaning of “Open House”. After a brief musical interlude, we check out next week’s preview, and dish some spoilers and speculation.
First up, I challenge some of Jim’s takes from last week, we touch on a cranky dude from Seattle’s complete failure to get the point of Breaking Bad. We recap the show, and considering the relative health of Jesse’s lifestyle, how Walt’s gangster side is being figuratively and literally knocked down a peg, Hank’s mancrush on his PT, Skyler’s new career in hostile takeovers, Victor’s replacement, and Mike’s apparent lack of attention to detail.
The long wait is over! Season four of our favorite morally ambiguous crystal meth chemistry show is back, and Jim and A.Ron are all over it. After a bit of showkeeping and news, the guys break down the episode in detail.
In this week’s episode, we discuss the possible impact to our favorite show from a rumored takeover of AMC, some thoughts and speculation on the newest Breaking Bad season four trailer, what a possible Breaking Bad spinoff about Mike or Gus might look like, some relavations from some recent articles on Breaking Bad and interviews with series creator, Vince Gilligan, and finally, we offer dueling predictions for things to come in Season 4!
Is it just me or does nobody subscribe to cable anymore? I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to watch Breaking Bad without it and there doesn’t seem to be a good option. I’d rather not download it illegally but I also want to watch it while it airs or as soon thereafter…
