Breaking Bad, oh Walter!

I can recommend either Outlander (not sure if it's available on Netflix) or "The Fall" on Netflix. Really liked both shows.
 

My honorary son was SO into this show. He tried to get me to watch but I just had so much on my T.V. plate and have even more now. Maybe one day I'll get around to it. Do you know anyone else who is hooked?
 
I've got Longmire, Outlander and The Fall "+" on my list, but I'm gonna watch the Breaking Bad series again. :playful:
 
I just finished the Longmire pilot episode, I like it. The characters seem credible, the interaction between characters realistic.

I'm confused, the blond haired female deputy is Cady's mother(according to Wikipedia), Cady being Walt's daughter as well.

Sooo, is the blond haired female deputy Walt's....ex-wife....? They don't seem to interact as such.

No and no. Cassidy's mother died, the female deputy is way too close in age to be her mom. Vic, the blond deputy, not married to nor in a relationship with the sheriff. I'm not sure which wiki you clicked on, but for more info, try the link below. Glad you enjoyed the show, so far. :)

btw, I used to think the actress who plays Victoria, Vic, was the blond, Andrea, from TWD,

O.K., makes more sense- I just mis-read the Wikipedia article(same as your link). The display on this 10" laptop has dinky fonts.....:shrug:

I'm on season 1 episode 5 just now, this series is absorbing. ;)

I'm working in a couple Better call Saul episodes too. I liked Mike in Breaking Bad, I'm glad he's appearing in Better call Saul.
 
Here's an interesting tidbit:

"Mike" Ehrmantraut is a fictional character in Breaking Bad and its prequel spin-off series Better Call Saul. He is portrayed by Jonathan Banks in both series.
Mike is a former Philadelphia police officer.

 Longmire's female deputy, Victoria "Vic" Moretti (Katee Sackhoff) is a transplanted Philadelphia homicide detective.


....I guess if you're a cop, Philadelphia would be the place to be...from.

I'm basically watching Longmire and Better Call Saul, but I decided that I just can't stay away so I started watching Breaking Bad again. :D

Some things you didn't see the first time stick out and grab you....like when in the beginning when Walt is standing in the road(without pants) and pointing a gun down the road at what he thinks is the police coming.

Actually, all the sirens and horns are the firetrucks coming, responding to the brushfire that started when a lit cigarette got thrown out the windows, into the dry weeds.

N-E-way, the thing that I hadn't noticed before, was when Walt was anguishing about all that had happend(so far), and stuck the gun to his head and pulled the trigger...but the safety was on. Phew, that

was a close one, think of all the people that wouldn't have died, if that safety was off.
 
I still can't get over one of the very first episodes where Walt and Jesse tried to dissolve the dead body in the tub of acid. Mix of comedy and tragedy at the extreme.

It was this particular scene that hooked me into the show early on, but I found that as time went on, there was less and less "dark" humor. The evolving characters, story line and cinematography made this one of the best shows ever in my opinion.
 
Earlier, while riding my elliptical I decided to check some more on Youtube's Breaking Bad content, found these two gems, ya'all gotta watch 'em!









 
They just can't get away from the B word, I especially love the ending. I've got to stop coming hear, I won't have enough time to spaz out on netflix. :D Another great video.

Well, I didn't get any time on the boob tube yet, going to plug in right after I make myself some tea. And I lied, I will be tuning back into HOW, just to remind myself why I'm not going to watch season 4 after I finish this one. At least not till I see what else is on Netflix this weekend. So off to watch about 2 hours of HOW, that's "Hell On Wheels".
 
Conan O'Brian did several interviews with the cast of Breaking Bad, as well as the following skit:



If you let the video stream continue, it should then play the succession of interview videos as well. ;)
 
Here are a coupe interesting videos focusing on what makes Walter White tick:




This video is a bit long winded, but an interesting perspective that examines Walter and typifies him as being pretty much a metaphorical representative of the 'common man'.
