Gus took Walt & Jesse's idea to the next higher level . . . and may have done Jesse's job for him.

I love this show. I didn't put it past Gus to do what he did last night.. but i didn't expect it to happen so quickly. I loved the small smiles from Mike and Gus when Jesse straight laid it out in the Mexican lab.
 


Is it just me or , when you guys watch Breaking Bad do you also wonder WHY there is such a dearth of quality on Network television? Why can't NBC/ABC/CBS put out product that is even 1/2 as good as what Fx/AMC produce? It's befuddling. Do they have to pander to their audiences SO much that they have to water down any semblance of quality out of their programming? With the life span of most dramas being less than a full season, how is that working out?
 
if only one network exec would just say '**** this' and go all out to try to revamp basic tv...he would be a genius. Probably get fired, but man, all it takes is one brave soul. There is hardly a thing on Breaking bad that couldn't be shown on a network after 10 pm. Ok...maybe the drug use, but still, cleaned up does not have to equal sanitized. Meanwhile basic cable stations are reaching the big boys numbers wise and, more importantly EMMY wise. A few years ago it was unheard of for an emmy nod to go to anyone other than the big 3. In a year or 2 I can see them getting shut out in the odd category here and there. More 'movie' actors are going the basic cable route simply because it's all about storytelling. It makes no sense. In this instance safe truly does equal death.
 
This season Breaking Bad has probably moved into number 2 on my all time list of favorite shows. The Wire is the only one ahead of it. The character development around Gus and Mike has been incredible. I hope they decide to go further into the backstory of those 2 characters. They could probably get their own spin off miniseries.
 
that is what is sooooooo striking about BB. Even the 'bad guys' are so delicately written that you not only want to know more about them, you almost root for them. There are so many shades of grey on this show. The only one who strikes me as one dimensional is Skyler, simply because she is the only one who doesn't understand that she is skirting lines too. It's funny, all the grief she gives Walter, and her tax issue with Beneke is clearly going to be the undoing of everything in my opinion.
 
HOLEEEEEEEEE XST!!!!!

the late Don Eladio...well that was Steven 'Scarface' Bauer. WOW. Even more important, he was in Running Scared.
