All I did was neg with a single . in there as a comment. You're the one that brought it to the forum, all butt-hurt, at least I think that is one of the "catch-phrases" you like to use. So who can't hang?
 
Looking back these are my favorite episodes, ones that you will probably never forget.

1. Crawl Space - this was a late season 4 episode with Walt fearing for his life once Gus no longer needed him to cook. Further, Skyler gives his "safe house" money away to Beneke leaving him dead to rights. The finale had Walt laughing hysterically mad as he realized his probable fate. The camera zoomed out on him from an overhead view as he lies under his house where the money was, made to look like a grave. Never seen anything like it.

2. Dead Freight - an episode from the first half of season 5 where Walt, Jesse, Mike, and Todd pull of an impossible caper of ripping off a freight train full of methylamine. The cinematography and sound track were really great great in this episode. It also represented the "high point" of these flawed four as they tried to make it big post Gus, everything came together for them here....until the end. Todd's ruthlessness served as the beginning crack in the windshield which eventually lead to all their demises (sans Jesse).

3. Felina - although his episode didn't blow me away like the above two, it was a very satisfying finale, and those are hard to do. Vince Gilligan could have went the predictable route and just have Walt go loco and blow everyone away and it would have been passable. Instead he stayed true to Walt's persona and used subtlety over force. Having Jesse's friends with the laser pens acting as sniper rifles was just perfect. Slipping the risen in Lydia's sweetener was child's play for Walt. Finally the M60 blastathon was fulfilling, but did find it to have some minor flaws. For instance they would have probably checked his car for a bomb, Todd deserved a more grisly death (think Gus like), and I was annoyed Jesse wasn't more grateful, but it got the job done.

You got it backwards. He's the little piece of **** that follows me around wherever I post. Nice try for the burn though, I'll give you a B for effort.

MF: First of all I want to commend you for excellent trolling in this thread. It was a pretty good conceit: let everyone know you haven't watched a beloved and soon-to-end show, then take an exotic position about it and call everyone that knows better names. It was perfectly timed and just believable enough that you were able to periodically sucker people into engaging with you.

That said you're blowing it at the finish line dude. If you're going to troll it can't be clear that you're the one that's mad. It's particularly amusing when you're a mod, since I can see all those posts telling me to **** off that you've deleted. Don't sully your own accomplishment here man. Take it and go. At some point all anyone is going to remember is that you had a rage meltdown in here rather than that you got off a pretty good troll for several weeks.

The other trick to a good troll is to avoid punishment. Don't go around leaving rep comments like that. I didn't report it but we do give out infractions for that kind of thing. With some time and a little more practice I'm sure you'll eventually be a footnote to guys like Newsbreaker.

My favorites (in chronological order):

1. ...And the Bag's in the River: This is the third episode of Season 1 and it's the episode that got me all in on the show. The bike lock killing is perfect tension, very arguable morally given that Crazy 8 probably was going to kill Walt the minute Walt let him go, and is one of the most brutal killings I've ever seen on television. This became the standard that breaking bad tried to hit or exceed every episode for the rest of its run.

2. Peekaboo: This is the episode where Jesse tries to confront a couple that ripped off their distribution crew only to spend most of his time waiting in a filthy house with the couple's incredibly neglected son. It's the second episode in the series that highlights Jesse's soft spot for kids. It also has a hilarious plot involving trying to open a stolen ATM. I've picked this episode but in reality this episode kicks off a superb three episode stretch introducing Danny Trejo has La Tortuga and Bob Odenkirk as Better Call Saul.

3. Sunset: Or "that one where Hank finds the R.V. at the junkyard while Walt and Jesse are still in it." Masterful writing. Any other show would have gone to cliffhanger with Hank pulling into the yard. This one paints the writers into that corner with 20 minutes to spare. Extra points for the hilarious amateur junkyard laywer.

4. Half Measures/Full Measures: The only episodes of television so intense that I had to walk around outside afterwards to calm down.

5. Box Cutter: You know the one.

6. Salud: In my mind, the quintessential Gus episode.

7. Ozymondias: The emotional climax of the series. A perfect episode of televison.
