Breaking Bad (thread will have *spoilers*)

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.

I don't give two ****s about you. Get off my ***, or not, whatever ahole. Go ahead and ban me, see if I cry.
 
One of my favorites was the To'hajiilee one that came right before the lauded Ozymandias. I thought it was better than Ozymandias. It had the same sort of "the status quo is ****ed, panic, what the hell is going to happen, oh ****" element to it that Crawl Space had, which is another one of my faves.
 
Locke didn't seem too stoked on how our guys were playing overall. He's the type of guy who gets manic over any small sign of potential or optimism so to hear him guarded can't ring to well for our team. But we already knew that.

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.

You've watched the show religiously for 5 years, and you have only half a clue as to what is going on in it.
Congratulations genius.

I think you need some new inspiration. Your insults aren't really landing. Go listen to "Hit 'Em Up" a few times and get back to me.
 
Not my fault if you are too stupid to know what you don't know.
It's pretty pathetic that you understand so little after 5 years.

All of these were great. Honestly I have a hard time picking favorites, as they did a great job of building on each episode in turn. One of the best series ever for writing, as there were very very few wasted moments or superfluous scenes or cop-outs or flat-out mistakes, other than the mistakes the characters made, which were often enough to keep them very human. I also liked the episodes that showed Gus' background and how he got even with the cartel. Set him up as a serious bad-***. This show has to have a corner on the total bad-*** market in TV, imo.

When she pushed over the ATM on that guys head was one of the most cringe-inducing moments I have ever witnessed in any medium. Same with the bike-lock killing.

I'm pretty sure that episode is "Salud."

What's really incredible is how little the audience even knew about Gus before that episode. It really only lifted the curtain a little, but the peek of ankle we saw was so epic as to be indelible.
