Breaking Bad

I have to say, I'm not loving this second half of the season. Were any of you fooled by
the money in the barrel? Seriously who didn't know that was done. Obviously it's done to show that Walt isn't in control and so on so forth but seriously they could have done that better. I also think they're forcing Jesse and Walt to be too sentimental towards each other.
 
There's some stuff I'm not crazy about, but that's to be expected with the conclusion to almost every series. Endings are the hardest things to write, especially with an intricate plot such as this. Overall though, this second half has been thrilling. I think the last episode may have been the best in the entire series.

One thing I'm not crazy about is how Hank has seemed to suddenly forget that Walt is his brother-in-law. It would be fine if that happened over a period of time, but I don't think that was given enough development. It deserved like a half a season at least, and it got about two episodes. When Hank arrests Walt, it's like he sees it as a moment of triumph, when he really should be seeing it as a moment of tragedy. But, there's still 3 episodes left so maybe they'll do something more with it. Although, I really don't see how Hank survives the next episode.

The thing is, they weren't trying to fool the audience with that, so I don't see how any of us not being fooled by it is relevant.
 
I thought that about Hank too, but upon further examination, he's always been obsessed with this case and all about making the big catch. Now that pride and gloating about it looks like it just got him killed. I have very little if any complaints about where it's going. It's fantastic.
 
I read somewhere that Gilligan considers this upcoming episode to be the best in the entire series.

Also, it was announced today that the Saul Goodman spinoff "Better Call Saul" got the greenlight. It will be a prequel to Breaking Bad.
 
I have reservations myself, but I'll give Gilligan the benefit of the doubt for now. Usually when it comes to bad tv spinoffs, nobody remembers them.
 
This episode was probably the most intense episode I have seen since the shields second to last episode. They could have ended the series with episode.
 
Loved it. Only thing I didn't like was Walt telling Jesse about Jane. I thought it was unnecessary (although they obviously put it there for a confrontation down the road), but more than anything the scene just felt forced.

I think it was building to something later more than anything. I feel it was just trying to show how pissed Walt was at Jessie for going to the DEA
