10 Reasons Why 'Breaking Bad' Is the Funniest Show on Television | CraveOnline

BREAKING BAD 4.13 'Face Off' | CraveOnline

By the end of this episode, Jesse and Walt were finally on good terms again even if their partnership isn't what it was. But if there was anything that could turn Jesse against Walt for good, it would be if he ever learned what really happened to Brock. And then there's the wild card: Mike, who was last seen recovering from a gunshot in Mexico. He's bound to be pissed about the loss of his boss. However, it was a great swerve to make Hector into Walt's surprise ally. I think we all expected an alliance between Walt and Mike, but who could have predicted this?

"Breaking Bad" built this finale up in the brief scenes all season between Gus and Hector; which made their final encounter all the more memorable. That's also an impressive use of the story elements. Almost nothing is wasted on this show and even the loose ends are tantalizing. Walt doesn't even know that Ted is dead yet and Hank has to suspect something is up with him given the way that Walt caused a major accident rather than pull into Gus' laundry complex. The news report only confirmed two deaths in the explosion; which implies that Tyrus may have survived.*****

There were even some great comedic moments, especially when Walt initially failed to grasp that Francesca was blackmailing him. I kept expecting him to threaten her for the number, but instead he caved and got the money she wanted. I think Walt has become too accustomed to using his drug money to buy his way out of trouble. But with Gus gone and the Superlab destroyed, he's bound to be a lot more careful with his money in the final season.

More than anything else, this episode brought a chapter of the series to a successful and satisfying conclusion. Gus will go down as one of the greatest TV villains in recent memory and it's stunning to think that he only had three scenes with Walt in the entire year. This episode wisely kept them apart; which seemed to be a more realistic way to avoid what would have been Walt's certain death. Gus' demise had a slightly cartoonish feel, but I didn't mind. It was also a sequence I had to rewind almost immediately to confirm what I had just seen.

I have no idea what's going to happen in season five of "Breaking Bad," but I can't wait to see what Walt does next.

*****told ya Kingsqueen.
 
Is that real about the news report? I could have sworn that Skyler or at some point at the house at the end I heard that 3 people died. The counter to that is that they showed Gus die and the empty blown up chair... but nothign to imply Tyrus survived. I could have sworn tho that I heard 3 people died
 
i also thought they said three people died. BUT, i wondered if the third person might have been another nursing home occupant or worker, like maybe it was that neighbor lady who was waving hello at walt as he hid outside on the window ledge. the other thing is that i'm not sure if i heard them say three confirmed deaths or possibly three deaths, but i definitely heard the number three.
 
It was three people confirmed dead.

It was mentioned once on the radio (Walt listening in his car) and again on TV (with the family watching).
 
I have to watch it again but I am pretty sure they said(on the horribly cheery radio report) that it was as many as 3.
 
Radio: "The initial report is, though, that as many as three people may have been killed."

OK, then...

TV: "I'm here at Casa Tranquila where three people are dead following an explosion that rocked this elderly care facility earlier today. The fireball completely consumed one resident's room and damaged common areas nearby."
 
Thanks for posting both instances Bogey at least that way it can be understood where the mistake could be made. Appreciate it!

Man...how bout that Breaking Bad season finale'? Sorry, still on my mind.

But here's some WD news...

‘And You Expect Gratitude??’ More Than Two Minutes Of Footage From Sunday’s Season Premiere Of THE WALKING DEAD, Which Herc Says May Be The Series’ Best Episode Yet!!
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

Tomorrow’s long awaited second-season premiere of “The Walking Dead” may be the best of the series to date, loaded as it is with suspense, terror, violence, drama, and, above all, a level of gore that we don’t see often even in a hour of pay cable.

A couple of things happen that are destined to change things rather permanently for lawman Rick Grimes.

The first two episodes don't bring a prison, or a governor, or the return of Michael Rooker's one-handed racist Merle Dixon -- and viewers aren't likely to care.

Ironically, I think this may be the episode that got Frank Darabont fired, since two directors are credited. A key point of contention with AMC, allegedly, is the channel didn’t like the raw footage (or “dailies”) they were getting from a director Darabont hired.

I believe they are doing an all day season 1 marathon too.
 
HELL ON WHEELS Trailer

Anyone else 'feeling' this? I like the look of it. Colm Meaney is such a hateable bastard. And as a musician Common is a watchable actor. Don't think this will last. Don't think it will have the wide appeal of other AMC fare and I do not trust their execs to allow a clearly expensive show to grow.

I totally like the look and vibe of this. I believe you are right, though, that AMC won't trust it. They blew out Rubicon, which was very good show IMHO.
