How do you like this? ![]() "The undeniably badass new poster for Season 5 of Breaking Bad hit the internet yesterday and that seismic shift you felt was the blood rushing to collective TV geek erections across the globe at once. Dustin immediately made thematic comparisons to Game of Thrones and Mad Men posters and photoshoppers across the web rushed to place Walter White on the iron throne. The above version by GeminiTactic seems to be getting the most play." |

That's a good pic.
The first half of S5 is done. As usual, good work, they set up the mystery of why Walter White looks so desperado during the season's first scene. I enjoy Mo Ryan's analysis and comments section about this show.
This show walks a fine line between compelling, and get these people off my TV set. It becomes hard to watch Walter White. I haven't fully watched the last episode before the hiatus because of Walter/Mike's final falling out. Wow.
The episode with the little kid in the dessert at the beginning was great, like great train robbery great.

We are so lucky to be in a time of wonderful television right now. Vanity Fair magazine recently made the case that television is better than the movies. I agree.
Now, I'm talking about the current state of things. Not the brilliant golden age of movies in the 70s. Think about it. In film you get two hours to explore story and character. In television you get ten times that in a season.
Breaking Bad, like Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire, The Walking Dead, Justified, Fringe, and others are just brilliant.
I am such a fan of Breaking Bad. It is remarkable.
Yim, I have to ask. Did you intend a pun there on Mike's 'falling out'? His death scene has stayed with me for weeks now.. I can't get it out of my mind. That's what good writing can do.
Likewise I will never forget Giancarlo Esposito and his death scene as Gus Fring. Riveting TV, and much better than most of the reboot-driven offerings at the cineplex these day. This is where new ideas and voices are heard these days. It is a new golden age of TV.
Who would have ever thought that Bryan Cranston, the father on Malcolm in the Middle could be Walter White? Wow. Vince Gilligan did, and he was right. And we're the richer for it.
