I liked seasons 1 and 2 but was never very enthusiastic about it. It was thrilling but I would never compare "Breaking Bad" to series such as "The Wire" or "The Sopranos". Then again I am raising the bar too high. Let me be more realistic: This series is not as as good as series such as "The Good Wife", for example. It is certainly more exciting than "The Good Wife" but it is not so well structured because it runs in circles, instead of moving forward. The original plot, as good as it was, proved to be limited. They don't really have much to go on after two seasons so they started to do variations of the same plot. Variations that contradict and weaken the original story. Indeed I think that"Breaking Bad", after watching its third season, is a minor TV series. The hand-held camera was just bearable in the first two seasons but it gets far worse in season 3. The wobbling is now constant and many times is abrupt, jerky. The close ups are especially irritating because you can't really look at the actors as the camera doesn't stop shaking. Of course, it is done on purpose because no cameraman working in a prime time TV series could be that bad. It is done on purpose because of the short span of attention of whoever is the idiot behind the idea of shooting all episodes as if the series is actually happening in a ship on high seas. Unfortunately, the story itself is also not solid. Season 3 has two new and ridiculous characters: Two assassins, carrying an axe around town, who could very well be in 'Saw XXII, the real last chapter' or any of those horror movies made for tedious teenagers. Then, there is the absolutely not credible Jesse Pinkman who, despite being a loose canon, is still alive and well. Too well, actually. Faced with the possibility of making 1.5 million dollars in three months he decides that it would be better to open a divergent, dangerous and completely unnecessary "business" of selling drugs on his own to make a fraction of the money he could make in a far safer way. It insults the intelligence of the public. The directors of the series already ran out of ideas and are creating very artificial situations just to keep the series going on, no matter its growing lack of logic and credibility. I just couldn't believe when, in one sequence, the big boss meets personally with two street drug dealers. He, who was always so careful to keep his facade of a conservative and responsible businessman, was exposing himself in a way that didn't match with him at all. Even more senseless is to see mister White, who became a criminal in order to provide for his family, risking everything he achieved to save Jesse Pinkman. The core of this series is that Mr. White's family comes first, no matter what. Mr. White would do anything, even become a drug dealer as he did , to provide for his family. Then he risks loosing his own life and the millions he was going to make for his family in order to save Jesse Pinkman! Let's not forget that Mr. White killed people before and let an innocent young woman die in order to protect his "business". The only logical explanation for the many times he saves Jess, especially the two last ones, is that his family doesn't come first. Season 4 comes first... The creators of the series want hard Jesse Pinkman in the story because he is the one with whom young people, the main public of this series, could somehow identify with. Jesse Pinkman can do all kind of stupid things and get away with them because, as long as there is a new season coming, he is immortal. Season 3 has now several flash backs to explain things that happened during seasons 1 and 2. One flash back, for example, explains how Jesse Pinkman got a RMV. The first problem with that flashback is that it shows Jesse and his friends partying the whole night. One of the friends who was in the party, if you check season 1's episodes, was actually in jail by that time... It is most revealing about the weakness of season 3 that a whole episode is about the chasing of a fly. Yes, they wanted to show Mr. White's state of mind but a whole episode? Besides, Mr White, whilst chasing the fly in a laboratory, falls from a height of about 5 meters, hits a big machine and from there lands on a hard floor. There is no way he wouldn't have, at least, broken a few bones but he was perfectly fine a few hours after the accident, the only memory of it being a band-aid on his head... And one of the most advertised qualities of this series is its credibility... I actually read that many people think this series is the best TV series ever. It is disheartening. Season 3 ends with a big cliff hanger. I am pretty sure that it will be another cry wolf, like the so misleading cliff hanger from the last episode of season 2. I can actually guess most of what is going to happen before it happens. Season 3 should have been the end of this series but, having in mind season 4, they over stretched the story. Many illogical things that happened in series 3 happened just to justify a fourth season. I dread to think in being subjected to another season of mediocre wobbling camera-work, reason why I will not watch season 4. Besides, season 4 will have all kind of unconvincing situations just for the sake of a fifth season. TL:DR - The show really puts the BAD in breaking bad.

Got a lot of TV shows I need to finish; working on Night Gallery right now, it's pretty good. good choice, NG was good. there's so many good tv shows out right that it's kind of overwhelming. I'm behind on probably hundreds of hours of good shows just this year alone. finally finished Aquarius and Rick and Morty; but working on Mr Robot right now. still have wayward pines, past 2 seasons of arrow, past 2 seasons of sleepy hollow, better call saul (all of it), hannibal s3, daredevil, new season of Fargo, and a bunch of other stuff that looks interesting.

I actually read that and i agree to a point but aren't all tv shows unrealistic and aren't most of the plots designed to be ridiculous and keep the story going rather than resolving the issues at hand (because it would end the series)?

I liked posts 1 and 2 but was never very enthusiastic about it. It was thrilling but I would never compare this thread to classics such as keyboard goop or mermaid Shelly. Then again I am raising the bar too high. Let me be more realistic: This thread is not as as good as threads such as THE GREAT BIRD GAMBIT, for example. It is certainly more exciting than THE GREAT BIRD GAMBIT but it is not so well structured because it runs in circles, instead of moving forward.

Variations that contradict and weaken the original post. Indeed I think thatthis thread, after readings its third post, is a minor GBS thread. The jokes were just bearable in the first two posts but it gets far worse in the third post. The memes are now constant and many times are abrupt, jerky. The quotes are especially irritating because you can't really look at the posters as the words don't make sense. Of course, it is done on purpose because no poster on Something Awful could be that bad. It is done on purpose because of the short span of attention of whoever is the idiot behind the idea of FYAD memes invading GBS as if the forums are actually happening on 4chan. Unfortunately, the memes themselves are also not solid. This thread has two 'new' and ridiculous memes: Two posters, carrying a joke around threads, who could very well be in The Gas Chamber or any of those lolcuck threads for tedious teenagers. Then, there is the absolutely not credible SLICK GOKU BABY who, despite being a loose canon, is still alive and well. Too well, actually. Faced with the possibility of not shitposting for three months he decides that it would be better to open a divergent, dangerous and completely unnecessary thread of breaking bad to make a fraction of the jokes he could make in another, safer thread.

The core of this thread is that FYAD comes first, no matter what. Isaac would do anything, even become a shitposter as he did , to provide for FYAD.

Let's not forget that Isaac killed people before and let an innocent young woman die in order to protect his posts. The only logical explanation for the many times he saves this thread especially the two last ones, is that FYAD doesn't come first. SLICK BABY GOKU comes first... The creator of the thread want hard Isaac in the thread because he is the one with whom young people, the main posters of GBS, could somehow identify with. Isaac can do all kind of stupid things and get away with them because, as long as there is a new thread coming, he is immortal. This thread has now several call backs to explain things that happened during previous threads. One callback, for example, explains how fat the OP is. The first problem with that callkback is that it doesn't show the OP shoveling food down his mouth-hole. The OP of this thread, if you check their post history, is actually eating food right now... It is most revealing about the weakness of this thread that a whole post is about anime. Yes, they wanted to show their state of mind but a whole post? Besides, that poster, whilst talking about anime, gets quoted for another anime reference. There is no way they wouldn't have, at least, been probated but they were perfectly fine a few hours after the posts, the only memory of it being this post... And one of the most advertised qualities of this thread is its review of a show that isn't anime... I actually read that many people think this thread is the best thread ever. It is disheartening.

The show made it pretty clear that family coming first was a crock of poo poo Walt told himself because he loved his new life. Jesse was central to that life because Walt absolutely needed someone to push around to satisfy his ego. Even whastherface that he let die wasn't to protect his operation, it was so she couldn't take away his surrogate abused-son. The fly episode was p terrible though

it was okay sometimes good few times very good. they could have easily cut the show down to 3 seasons, especially if they got rid of half the characters and gave jesse pinkman a real story arch. good idea ruined by amc. the show legitimately looked like something from the 90s sometimes

The cool science poo poo ended after the "breaking into the base for supplies" bit. I wanted more cool science, but got hooked by all the drama. It's like this show uses cool science to hook you, then drops that within the first season. Still good.
