it's funny because he was a piece of shit incompetent wastrel who committed adultery (which somehow makes him worse than a murderer or drug dealer)
it wouldn't be funny if it happened to a character not set up to be unlikeable
How the fuck did nobody even see this guy walking on the street, much less getting thrown into the fucking green car? It was like several minutes, somebody had to have seen that?
The same could be said in a lot of situations in BB and el camino, haven’t seen BCS but I assume they do the same thing. In Camino for example, Jesse is a massively wanted man, residing in his home town where he is currently wanted. When he goes outside does he wear a hat, or make an effort not to be publicly seen hanging around his associates? No he literally causally hangs around outside with them in their suburban neighborhood making conversation. Also causally strolling around the town near the vacuum cleaners.
Yeah for sure but he causally goes without it until that point, unless I’m not remembering right. Like doesn’t he give it to him like the moment before he gets in the car to leave?
This doesn't get the hate it deserves
and they’re just way too relaxed when they’re standing out in public
>just take over the accredited business bro
You have the world view of a fucking child. Gus's murder would immediately draw suspicion to the entire operation just like it did anyway at the end of Season 4. Gus had no successor. If he died here, the same events would unfold just a little bit sooner. Madrigal would have been investigated as well as the cartel hit. They wanted half of his operation because it was the only distribution network that could still get across the border.

the plane collision was worse
Former ATC here, every commercial plane since 1999 has had a TCAS system in it that avoids these. Both pilots get given different commands and it's illegal for them to ignore, even if ATC tries to stop them
Current ATC here, we removed TCAS from every commercial plane since, must've been after you left. Now ATC have to notice and then manually use their Q powers to divert aircraft on a collision course.
>it's just a warning system
It's also a guidance system that communicates with the other plane to decide with direction both planes tell their respective pilots to go.

Yes, it can send an entire stack down to avoid and resolve multiple collisions
It's rare you would have them stacked close enough to have this occur, but in the event this is happening, the one already issued a guidance communicates to the other to make a move.
I think the record is 4 planes involved from what I remember at the academy.
There has been no inair involving both planes having a TCAS.

You can literally see him coping during the Season 3 premiere by talking about how it's totally the fault of the bosses letting the guy come into work, and how we should be glad that it didn't kill anybody on the ground.
Why yes I am an international drug kingpin with substantial ties to cartels in Mexico operating a number of fast food franchises in order to hide my large industrial scale meth amphetamine production business.
Let me go pay a visit to the local DEA while hiding behind a friendly local businessman persona. That's definitely a smart thing to do and will totally remove any suspicion from me and could never back fire. Remember Walt, I am very careful.
it's like the guy who shows up to a murder scene and asks a bunch of questions then keeps following up with police. Totally just a friendly good Samaritan, definitely not the killer!

She has 80 million reasons to care about Todd, and as I say he rescues her from certain death at the hands of Walt's ricin, fights for her to live.
If he wanted a meth slave he could kill Jesse and replace him with Walt - better more reliable meth slave.
But that's the point. All the smart fucks are just too stupid to kill the idiots, witnesses, take the money, and get the girl, then sit on a beach earning 20%. Todd would be like the only one smart enough to do so in a series with far too many geniuses. That's the irony, it's like pottery, it rhymes.
Todd turns out to be the Forrest Gump of meth dealers and lives happily ever after because he doesn't have any stupid pride or petty vengeance. Nothing to prove, he just does what he needs to do and ends up winning over everybody.

There is a small easter egg in the plot where it is mentioned that Walt has terminal cancer. People with terminal cancer are unable to cook meth after they die from it.

cant you just get some random dude thats loyal to you to learn how to cook the meth? if a retard like jesse could do it then anyone can
Humanizing someone with a name does make killing them harder. It’s why Walt was able to kill Emilio so easily but felt guilt over killing Krazy 8. Your conscience is less likely to take over if you are just killing a nameless glowy.
>2 miles south of Exit 13 on the 25
That’s all he had to memorize. The 38 pounds was already agreed, the sum is clearly non-negotiable, so no need to process that, and in 1 hour just mean asap for him in this context. Completely possible for Walt to grasp this
>Gus is willing to throw away his entire operation for two random low life dealers who were using kids and were feuding with one of his star cooks
very smart drug kingpin
Why yes, I am going to execute a man's lover in front of his eyes and then give him significant responsibilities in my international drug empire a couple of years later, what could go wrong?
>this is not… le meth! >throws it at the ground and it knocks out everyone but him and he takes the money and backflips out the room and noone heard the explosion so he just drives away
Sopranosisters we got BTFO….
I just binged it for the first time about a month ago. Every episode I couldn't believe how fucking stupid every character was, making retarded decisions for the sake of the plot. They did a great job at making every character unlikable - not because they're assholes, but because they're all fucking retards.

why are these basedtranno fags seething so hard? is it because they are brown naggerlovers?
I never saw whatever this crapfest is, but what a perfect example of the difference between taking artistic licence and bending physics/science for a dramatic effect and just throwing objective reality completely out the window because you think you can just write any stupid shit.
There's way more wrong with this than just the obvious 'freezing a light beam'. That would be bad enough on its own, but even if you forgive that, there's still no way to make any kind of sense of what you're looking at.
People whose opinions I'd usually respect genuinely believe BB to be some kind of masterpiece of Shakespearean tragedy, when it's actually just a fun popcorn flick extended over 5 seasons. Some parts of it are monumentally stupid and nonsensical and characters do inexplicable things to move the plot forward, it's just laughable to compare it to The Sopranos, let alone Shakespeare.
I had to stop watching it multiple times because I was so bored. The only reason I watched the finale is because all my roommates did too. Solid 7.5/10 series, very thoughtful, but goddamn i can’t binge network tv anymore.
Best show since the sopranos and nothing since has come close
Crazy consdering it gets completely mogged by picrel
Yeah, it's got some plot holes but the writing is terrific. You can believe the characters motivations. What that sort of life does to a family dynamic. It's a great series. Clearly you like Sopranos better, to each their own.
This one's fine, if you had been paying attention to the opening sequences. The narrator is clearly indicating that what your seeing isn't known, and it's a potraylel of what the true crime book knows, based on interviews and survivor accounts. The cop thought he saw a ufo. That's it. Being the only "reliable" witness alive, that's whats in the book.
>"This is not... le meth" >explosion blows out windows, has an A.C unit fall out the window, car alarms get set off >miraculously nobody is dead upstairs, barely even a scratch on anybody >instead of killing Walter immediately, they hand him a big bag of money >Walter walks past the bodyguard downstairs with a huge sack of money after a huge explosion went off and the bodyguard doesn't question it at all or attempt to stop Walter, even though his boss may be possibly dead upstairs
i thought this was extreme bullshit even on my first watch of the show and it even got me mad
the ac unit just the most ridiculous shit of all, it actually got more grounded in reality after they stopped with the explosions
I mean personally I wouldn't want to mess with him. I would assume Walter suddenly got the power to make people explode for no reason and just used it on my boss. Would you want to mess with a guy that could make you explode for no reason?
>only walt and jesse know the super secret blue meth formula and cooking process >gus has a camera pointed at them during their operations and can't just copy what they're doing
What's even funnier is that in like episode 2 or 3 Hank instantly says "ah blue meth, must be some biker boomer". Its only later that they retconned Walt into being some super genious when the implication at the start simply was that he is a normal and professional guy who makes good meth because he has a clean lab and basic chemistry skills in a sea of retards.
biker meth is a well established route, and their use of methylamine was a dead giveaway. The problem with IRL biker meth is it forms both D- and L- enantiomers, only one of which is narcotic. The magic of walt was he somehow found a way to make pure D-meth.
>is threatening a suicide bombing really real???? >No way a heckin suicide bomber ever bombed irl!!!!!
Sure the tweaked chemistry line was kinda cringe but how else would he have gotten the bomb in the building. There's way worse scenes in the show
I rewatched this show recently and it was shocking how dogshit every single character is. I remembered jessie and walt having good chemistry (xDDD) together but they absolutely don't, jessie spends most of the show whining and being overly dramatic and ungrateful despite walt bailing him out at every opportunity.
The show also tries its hardest to never give you any real catharsis because every scene is either walt's cunt wife bitching at him or some ebin reddit moment that's completely unrealistic like the this is not le meth scene.
I was willing to believe that he managed to make a mercury fulminate that had that explosive power, on account of the fact that it is regularly pointed out how he's some kind of unrivaled genius in the field of chemistry. What broke it for me was that one fulminate crystal was blasting out windows and an aircon as well as setting of car alarms on the street, yet the rest of it didn't sympathetically blow up. Also forget everyone else in the room, Walt was standing right next to an explosion of that magnitude and came out completely unharmed. He should be dead. Also how could anyone hear well enough to have a conversation about the money immediately after the explosion?
What about the scene where Walt and Jesse are escaping Mexico or whatever and Mike goes to chase them down and he just so happens to find them on a giant empty one-lane road. And on top of that, Mike was so determined to kill Walt that he drove however many hundred miles only for Jesse to stop him by going "no no no, dude we got a heckin science plan!".
This has to be the most overrated show of all time.
Somewhat reasonable from Mike.
Killing Walt wasn't going to bring Gus back, and if he killed Walt there then he'd probably have to kill Jesse too. And that's just two more loose ends for the DEA to potentially pull on while they look into him
Mike doesn't know if they've told saul, or anyone else (as retarded as that would be) that they were heading out to mexico to find him
also one of his guys (probably the laundry manager) would have eventually mentioned "the bald chemist man and the retarded kid who cooked the meth." Not enough to incriminate mike, but the DEA would eventually connect walt and jesse going missing around the same time gus, and given that they were already looking into mike, they'd be looking at the connection there
Also there's no way mike could have forseen the lab camera footage being an issue, but i'm sure there was a thought of unexpected things coming up and causing trouble for him that would be worse if walt and jesse weren't around
Walt had hidden the tank of methylamine they were supposed to sell
This was before they were working together and running the empire themselves
I surprised no one ever talks about the scene where Hank 1v2s the Twins, and the only reason he wins was because the ‘professional hitman’ decides he was going to axe him instead of just shooting him when the fight was already botched in the public parking lot
>the ‘professional hitman’
You really don't get the impression they're professional hitmen though when they wanted to chop Walter up with an axe (instead of just poisoning him or something like a sane person would do) & drew death marks on his driveway and shit. Pretty well set up characters tbh
It is impossibly degenerate that they are still hosting that. We're talking about thousands and thousands of dollars marketing a show that ended a decade ago.
i might seem like a stone cold killer willing to do anything that might benefit me. and yes i did just execute your brother and law in front of you and steal tens of millions of dollars from you. but you see, walt, todd's real fond of you and i just can't let the little bugger down. so don't you come after me, okay bud?
>Yes, we have tens of millions of dollars and could easily disappear once we kill you, but we're going to continue being small time meth dealers because we're that evil
that's not a decision a character like jack would make. it's a decision a group of hack writers would make when they realize they've written themselves into a corner.
This show was so much better as half a comedy, anything serious that doesn't have to do with Walt and Jesse interacting is slop. Same with BCS and Jimmy/Chuck (and Howard scenes). Interpersonal drama and comedy, good - serious cartel drama and 'badass' scenes, poopoo.
Anyone who thinks Breaking Bad is a better show than The Wire or The Sopranos is automatically a midwit, who doesn't understand: >the difference between easter eggs and foreshadowing >Use of the "Rugrats" opening isn't artsy or intelligent >There's no themes or motif's of Walter White cutting crust off his bread because Crazy 8 wanted it that way or whatever. >Doesn't understand the "cliff-hanger" trope that Breaking Bad routinely used, where each episode was basically 1 complete story + a 1/2 story, that was tied up within the first few minutes of next weeks episode.
Etc.
Breaking Bad was a bad show pretending to be a good one because it had a higher budget, and that's about it.
I agree it works mostly as comedy schlock and as meme material. I've recently been rewatching it after a long time and it holds no water against Sopranos or The Wire for example.
Sure, people survive gun shots to the head too, but Gus was so close to the explosion the blast should’ve knocked him out or atleast disoriented him to degree he doesn’t just walk out immediately with such composure
Some guy in Australia shot himself twice with a shotgun in the chest, got up, walked 30 feet away and then was successful the third time. Retarded shit happens.
Ive blocked from my mind how bad that finale was. Why would they throw a lawyer in jail for life because he had a tangential business relationship with a now long dead mid-level midwest drug dealer?
>Explosion knocks out windows, raining glass on the streets below >No one in the room with the explosion has their hearing affected or ears completely blown out, or suffers any injuries from the explosive blast or shrapnel >Walt never uses his magic exploding powder again, even though there are SEVERAL instances where it could've come in handy >The security guards below don't immediately kill Walt when they see him. >WOW WALT IS LE EPIC BADASS!

It's dubstep
did you see Kenobi
Almost as bad as the scene where Krazy-8 runs into a tree and knocks himself out.
Breaking Bad is a dark comedy, even the scene where Ted becomes paraplegic has a humorous tone
Copey McCoper
Yeah, that scene with 2 known comedians and a guy falling over is in no way meant to be humorous.
Except its not funny
Its just edgy reddit le epic growly science man worship
lol
Imagine being too stupid to understand Breaking Bad
it's funny because he was a piece of shit incompetent wastrel who committed adultery (which somehow makes him worse than a murderer or drug dealer)
it wouldn't be funny if it happened to a character not set up to be unlikeable
>who committed adultery
Ted was divorced.
Season 1 is. They gradually crawl up their own ass
everything down to the way the show is shot and directed is very intentionally humorous
Unless you’re cripplingly autistic. Which I am.
How the fuck did nobody even see this guy walking on the street, much less getting thrown into the fucking green car? It was like several minutes, somebody had to have seen that?
The same could be said in a lot of situations in BB and el camino, haven’t seen BCS but I assume they do the same thing.

No he literally causally hangs around outside with them in their suburban neighborhood making conversation. Also causally strolling around the town near the vacuum cleaners.
>When he goes outside does he wear a hat
Skinny Pete literally gives him his hat for this purpose kek
Yeah for sure but he causally goes without it until that point, unless I’m not remembering right. Like doesn’t he give it to him like the moment before he gets in the car to leave?
and they’re just way too relaxed when they’re standing out in public
I think he only wears the hat when he leaves with Pete’s car
He hides in the back of weird face guys car when they travel, and skinny petes is his first stop after escaping. where he gets a hat
Weekday in the suburbs, everyone's at work or school.
They were too busy breaking bad
It’s the one that filtered the most chuds.
Its close.

Todd turns out to be the Forrest Gump of meth dealers and lives happily ever after because he doesn't have any stupid pride or petty vengeance. Nothing to prove, he just does what he needs to do and ends up winning over everybody.
>replace him with Walt - better more reliable meth slave.
There is a small easter egg in the plot where it is mentioned that Walt has terminal cancer. People with terminal cancer are unable to cook meth after they die from it.
Keeps going into remission. Fuck him. Work him until he fucking dies. Threaten to kill the retard and blow cunt Skyler away on her front doorstep if he wont comply.
cant you just get some random dude thats loyal to you to learn how to cook the meth? if a retard like jesse could do it then anyone can
Thats what Gayle was for
That's not actually her, is it?
You didn't notice what you were looking at just because they dressed he down a bit for the show?
just awful
Humanizing someone with a name does make killing them harder. It’s why Walt was able to kill Emilio so easily but felt guilt over killing Krazy 8. Your conscience is less likely to take over if you are just killing a nameless glowy.
no it was super cool
>38 pounds. $1.2 million. Truck stop, 2 miles south of Exit 13 on the 25. One hour.
There's no way Walt is grasping that first time. Don't care how smart he is.
>if you don't make it, don't ever show your face around here again
what if he just wants some fried chicken though?
Shows up with 1.2 pounds wanting $38 million at a truckstop 1 mile from Exit 25 on Route 13 in two hours. Imagine the professional embarrassment.
>2 miles south of Exit 13 on the 25
That’s all he had to memorize. The 38 pounds was already agreed, the sum is clearly non-negotiable, so no need to process that, and in 1 hour just mean asap for him in this context. Completely possible for Walt to grasp this
Are peoples brains so fried on xanax and ritalin that the idea of someone remembering a sentence is now impossible?
For me it's vyvanse
>Gus is willing to throw away his entire operation for two random low life dealers who were using kids and were feuding with one of his star cooks
very smart drug kingpin
Yeah when you put it like that I can actually see just how retarded he really was kek
That he was meeting face to face, in front of outsiders.
so, which TikTok video told zoomers to hate breaking bad?
shut up nerd
#
you're on Cinemaphile, buddy. if you're not a nerd you don't belong here.
I'm rewatching BB right now, it really is fucking retarded at times
I'm rewatching it right now and no it isnt.
What?!
>I said I want my 50 G's!
>What?! I can't hear you some jackass just detonated a bomb indoors!
trust the science.
Rest of bag will only go off when thrown at floor, not when caught in impossibly large explosion.
Also, your face, and everyone elses.
Fuck off.
mercury fulminate is quite sensitive
>can react to friction
>walter carrying it from the car to the inside
Or the big dude gonzo grabbing it off him
Or the huge explosion in the same room
>Gus needs to personally kill Hector because... he just does, okay?
wasnt it the point that he wanted to watch hector die since hector killed his partner and made gus watch him die?
it's not even in the top 20
I had the biggest crush on her.
her today
Ehh, probably still would.
Walt killing everyone with an erector set machine gun trap is a thousand times dumber than this
Why yes, I am going to execute a man's lover in front of his eyes and then give him significant responsibilities in my international drug empire a couple of years later, what could go wrong?
Why the fuck did he use tracer bullets?
not a gunfag but I'm guessing that's just what the machine gun happened to come with
This doesn't get the hate it deserves
The retarded chick from Mad Men not knowing she was pregnant until she went into labor.
burn alive
I just finished watching bcs.
Why do we hate the latter half of season 6's writing again? I thought it was ok.
>this is not… le meth!
>throws it at the ground and it knocks out everyone but him and he takes the money and backflips out the room and noone heard the explosion so he just drives away
Sopranosisters we got BTFO….
No.
no the scene from that one show where they stop a school shooter by dancing it
not a tv show
I couldn't finish this movie
How could you film something like this and release it, what's going on Scorsese
>This guy totally moves and kicks like the 30-year-old that he's supposed to be and definitely not like an 80-year-old
I will never understand why Scorsese didn't just cast a younger actor and CGI DeNiro's face onto him.
threads like this are a good reminder of how dogshit this show was
it was better when it was a slightly absurd black comedy but dumb brown teenagers started taking it seriously as some criminal empire show
I just binged it for the first time about a month ago. Every episode I couldn't believe how fucking stupid every character was, making retarded decisions for the sake of the plot. They did a great job at making every character unlikable - not because they're assholes, but because they're all fucking retards.
why are these basedtranno fags seething so hard? is it because they are brown naggerlovers?
I'm literally whiter than you.
you can't be because you watch shows made for naggers and shitskins
I've never watched The Sopranos. Breaking Bad is still terrible.
you are not fooling anyone naggerlover
>need
formerly huck's
You can close the thread now.
>freezing a beam of light
I imagine this shit probably happened in the comics at some point but there's no way to show it in real life and not have it look retarded.
Okay wat?!!
I never saw whatever this crapfest is, but what a perfect example of the difference between taking artistic licence and bending physics/science for a dramatic effect and just throwing objective reality completely out the window because you think you can just write any stupid shit.
There's way more wrong with this than just the obvious 'freezing a light beam'. That would be bad enough on its own, but even if you forgive that, there's still no way to make any kind of sense of what you're looking at.
But why do the lasers stop coming out
he froze them idiot
did you even watch the webm?
Yall never heard of hard light before?
Roru
im gonna be really sad when Michael Ironside dies
That's definitely the same logic that is used in Totally Spies.
Sorry but nothing will top the retarded machine gun in the car
You've got to be fucking kidding me. Talk about having trash taste. This scene isn't dumb, this scene is cool as hell.
People whose opinions I'd usually respect genuinely believe BB to be some kind of masterpiece of Shakespearean tragedy, when it's actually just a fun popcorn flick extended over 5 seasons. Some parts of it are monumentally stupid and nonsensical and characters do inexplicable things to move the plot forward, it's just laughable to compare it to The Sopranos, let alone Shakespeare.
I had to stop watching it multiple times because I was so bored. The only reason I watched the finale is because all my roommates did too. Solid 7.5/10 series, very thoughtful, but goddamn i can’t binge network tv anymore.
Crazy consdering it gets completely mogged by picrel
What show?
>Shakespeare plays aren't fun popcorn flicks
what? Have you ever seen one?
Yeah, it's got some plot holes but the writing is terrific. You can believe the characters motivations. What that sort of life does to a family dynamic. It's a great series. Clearly you like Sopranos better, to each their own.
Name one plot hole
but only naggerlovers like sopranos?!
Best show since the sopranos and nothing since has come close
How did ehrmantraut magically open his back car door while throwing waltuh into his car
Never forget
Is that a Shingeki reference?
minigun in chuck
>101
the digits speak
Lmao
This one's fine, if you had been paying attention to the opening sequences. The narrator is clearly indicating that what your seeing isn't known, and it's a potraylel of what the true crime book knows, based on interviews and survivor accounts. The cop thought he saw a ufo. That's it. Being the only "reliable" witness alive, that's whats in the book.
>"This is not... le meth"
>explosion blows out windows, has an A.C unit fall out the window, car alarms get set off
>miraculously nobody is dead upstairs, barely even a scratch on anybody
>instead of killing Walter immediately, they hand him a big bag of money
>Walter walks past the bodyguard downstairs with a huge sack of money after a huge explosion went off and the bodyguard doesn't question it at all or attempt to stop Walter, even though his boss may be possibly dead upstairs
i thought this was extreme bullshit even on my first watch of the show and it even got me mad
the ac unit just the most ridiculous shit of all, it actually got more grounded in reality after they stopped with the explosions
I mean personally I wouldn't want to mess with him. I would assume Walter suddenly got the power to make people explode for no reason and just used it on my boss. Would you want to mess with a guy that could make you explode for no reason?
>only walt and jesse know the super secret blue meth formula and cooking process
>gus has a camera pointed at them during their operations and can't just copy what they're doing
What's even funnier is that in like episode 2 or 3 Hank instantly says "ah blue meth, must be some biker boomer". Its only later that they retconned Walt into being some super genious when the implication at the start simply was that he is a normal and professional guy who makes good meth because he has a clean lab and basic chemistry skills in a sea of retards.
biker meth is a well established route, and their use of methylamine was a dead giveaway. The problem with IRL biker meth is it forms both D- and L- enantiomers, only one of which is narcotic. The magic of walt was he somehow found a way to make pure D-meth.
that's great, i always wanted walt to give me the D
Breaking Bad is only good once you accept that it's actually a live action cartoon and not a serious crime drama/character study of Walter
>blows out windows
>eardrums still intact
Realistic fags like OP are the worst
>is threatening a suicide bombing really real????
>No way a heckin suicide bomber ever bombed irl!!!!!
Sure the tweaked chemistry line was kinda cringe but how else would he have gotten the bomb in the building. There's way worse scenes in the show
Erm… guys? I’ve been rewatching breaking bad, and uhhh… it isn’t exactly realistic. W-what’s up with that?
I rewatched this show recently and it was shocking how dogshit every single character is. I remembered jessie and walt having good chemistry (xDDD) together but they absolutely don't, jessie spends most of the show whining and being overly dramatic and ungrateful despite walt bailing him out at every opportunity.
The show also tries its hardest to never give you any real catharsis because every scene is either walt's cunt wife bitching at him or some ebin reddit moment that's completely unrealistic like the this is not le meth scene.
He brought a bomb into a building and threatened to kill people. How is that dumb?
le meth dealer and drug addict are pure at heart guys!
why are you shitskin soprano fags like this, is your tranny discord closed.
I was willing to believe that he managed to make a mercury fulminate that had that explosive power, on account of the fact that it is regularly pointed out how he's some kind of unrivaled genius in the field of chemistry. What broke it for me was that one fulminate crystal was blasting out windows and an aircon as well as setting of car alarms on the street, yet the rest of it didn't sympathetically blow up. Also forget everyone else in the room, Walt was standing right next to an explosion of that magnitude and came out completely unharmed. He should be dead. Also how could anyone hear well enough to have a conversation about the money immediately after the explosion?
What about the scene where Walt and Jesse are escaping Mexico or whatever and Mike goes to chase them down and he just so happens to find them on a giant empty one-lane road. And on top of that, Mike was so determined to kill Walt that he drove however many hundred miles only for Jesse to stop him by going "no no no, dude we got a heckin science plan!".
This has to be the most overrated show of all time.
Somewhat reasonable from Mike.
Killing Walt wasn't going to bring Gus back, and if he killed Walt there then he'd probably have to kill Jesse too. And that's just two more loose ends for the DEA to potentially pull on while they look into him
why would they be loose ends if they're dead? they wouldn't be found
Mike doesn't know if they've told saul, or anyone else (as retarded as that would be) that they were heading out to mexico to find him
also one of his guys (probably the laundry manager) would have eventually mentioned "the bald chemist man and the retarded kid who cooked the meth." Not enough to incriminate mike, but the DEA would eventually connect walt and jesse going missing around the same time gus, and given that they were already looking into mike, they'd be looking at the connection there
Also there's no way mike could have forseen the lab camera footage being an issue, but i'm sure there was a thought of unexpected things coming up and causing trouble for him that would be worse if walt and jesse weren't around
This was before they were working together and running the empire themselves
Walt had hidden the tank of methylamine they were supposed to sell
They clearly arranged the meet. Does every single thing need to be spelled out for your dumb ass?
Do they need to show the bathroom break at a gas station on the way as well? What about where Mike bought the gun?? Omg so many plot holes
What a fucking homo.
what the fuck was the deal with the heisenberg shrine and the crawling mexicans?
vague religious shit
filler, pretty much. Foreshadowing for their epic jobbing later that season.
proof Gus was a fag
Those women were whores.
If you don't look up for that ass you aren't straight.
Not that I am complaining but when did it become acceptable for every whore to wear a thong to the beach?
Like why even wear clothes
This was the proof you needed he was a fag?
Not his entire revenge motivation?
I surprised no one ever talks about the scene where Hank 1v2s the Twins, and the only reason he wins was because the ‘professional hitman’ decides he was going to axe him instead of just shooting him when the fight was already botched in the public parking lot
people talk about the axe falling through concrete sometimes.
>the ‘professional hitman’
You really don't get the impression they're professional hitmen though when they wanted to chop Walter up with an axe (instead of just poisoning him or something like a sane person would do) & drew death marks on his driveway and shit. Pretty well set up characters tbh
>Is this the dumbest scene in television history?
No, but this endlessly re-posted thread is one of the dumbest in Cinemaphile history.
>Walt, what are you doing
>"I'm cooking"
>Walt it's 4 in the morning, why are you cooking
>"Because I've lost control of my show's plot"
http://www.savewalterwhite.com/
It is impossibly degenerate that they are still hosting that. We're talking about thousands and thousands of dollars marketing a show that ended a decade ago.
http://bettercallsaul.amc.com/
Are you forgetting the finale where a machine gun pops out of his trunk to magically shoot everyone but him?
It was plausible tbh
no
>darth_icky.webm
/BrBa/ threads were a lot of fun. You fags missed out.

GOMIE YA LAZY BASTARD MEXICAN, THIS IS NO TIME FOR A NAP HEHE
you just know
STFU Tardy McTardlow!
I'd tell that spaz to stop with the method acting whenever we were off the clock. Show's finished, you can stop talking like a retard now.
f-f-f-uck you hater
>the creature on the left
Which way, white man?
I don't get why the person who owns this house became so mad when people would come over to take pics. Just charge them $5 and rake in the money.
I thought he was pissed cause people chucked pizzas on his roof all the time, and that would get pretty fucking annoying.
yeah it was people tossing pizzas on the roof
also what fat loser goes to get a picture with 'the house in that show'
m.. m... me.....
lmao
also holy fuck, just move instead of installing all that shit
Fun fact, it took over 40 attempts to get the pizza to land on the roof like that.
>the rage was real
kino
I'd have told Vince to fuck off and that his pizza shot wasn't as cool as he thinks it is.
Did they use a new pizza every time?
They actually got it on the first try. They didn't even mean for it to happen.
I believe you anon. Throwing a pizza on the roof 40 times just to get it perfect is way too retarded.
i might seem like a stone cold killer willing to do anything that might benefit me. and yes i did just execute your brother and law in front of you and steal tens of millions of dollars from you. but you see, walt, todd's real fond of you and i just can't let the little bugger down. so don't you come after me, okay bud?
>Yes, we have tens of millions of dollars and could easily disappear once we kill you, but we're going to continue being small time meth dealers because we're that evil
>small time
They were international at that point.
The deal was he lets Walt live and left him one varrella of money, more than ten million
>don’t get greedy, it’s unattractive
that's not a decision a character like jack would make. it's a decision a group of hack writers would make when they realize they've written themselves into a corner.
Seemed believable to me. You could argue the same about other major decisions made by other characters too, like Gus hiring Walt.
Its not even top ten of dumbest scenes of that show.
This show was so much better as half a comedy, anything serious that doesn't have to do with Walt and Jesse interacting is slop. Same with BCS and Jimmy/Chuck (and Howard scenes). Interpersonal drama and comedy, good - serious cartel drama and 'badass' scenes, poopoo.
Could you charge a car battery with some screws and break pads in a vat?
nope, but you could with the charging machine
why are all the women characters terrible? like skin peelingly bad
They're representations of real life
What about the kid with the green glove in Twin Peaks: The Return
Wouldn't even make a top 20 in nu-Trek.
>*fart*
>sheeeeit is be floatin'
Anyone who thinks Breaking Bad is a better show than The Wire or The Sopranos is automatically a midwit, who doesn't understand:
>the difference between easter eggs and foreshadowing
>Use of the "Rugrats" opening isn't artsy or intelligent
>There's no themes or motif's of Walter White cutting crust off his bread because Crazy 8 wanted it that way or whatever.
>Doesn't understand the "cliff-hanger" trope that Breaking Bad routinely used, where each episode was basically 1 complete story + a 1/2 story, that was tied up within the first few minutes of next weeks episode.
Etc.
Breaking Bad was a bad show pretending to be a good one because it had a higher budget, and that's about it.
But that scene where the junkie gets tricked by an undercover cop was funny
Sure, it has funny scenes and "le epic moments", but that doesn't mean it's a "good show" at all.
I agree it works mostly as comedy schlock and as meme material. I've recently been rewatching it after a long time and it holds no water against Sopranos or The Wire for example.
This was funny?
Sure, I guess. I guess the idea of someone being so paranoid about an undercover cop and getting caught anyway just tickled my funny bone a little.
>was right about both the vans
it's better then both naggerlover
>Is this the dumbest scene in television history?
why do they use this weird fake glock in this when they use "real" firearms all the time on the show
Might have been because the cameraman was in front of it, they didn’t want to risk it.
i think it's when the skeleton man did the epic james bond tie adjustment after being ripped to shreds in an explosion
I had a dream tonight where Mike forced Walt to suck his dick.
It was horrifying to watch.
Did he take the crust off first
Gus' half-destroyed self walking out of the room and adjusting his tie before dying like he's in a cartoon was the worst.
people have survived getting stabbed ans shit in the head, it's not as ridiculous as you might think
Sure, people survive gun shots to the head too, but Gus was so close to the explosion the blast should’ve knocked him out or atleast disoriented him to degree he doesn’t just walk out immediately with such composure
The fact he got up out of his chair, calmly walked out, and adjust his die before falling over dead is too goofy to be anything but retarded.
Some guy in Australia shot himself twice with a shotgun in the chest, got up, walked 30 feet away and then was successful the third time. Retarded shit happens.
The ending of BCS was on the same level.
Ive blocked from my mind how bad that finale was. Why would they throw a lawyer in jail for life because he had a tangential business relationship with a now long dead mid-level midwest drug dealer?
you clearly don't understand RICO, that's not the stupid part, the stupid part is Saul throwing away his plea deal to simp for his ex
The way Kim broke up with Saul was stupid too. I couldn’t believe it when it happened and kinda lost interest
I lost interest in like season 2 or 3 when they made the show about her.
>Explosion knocks out windows, raining glass on the streets below
>No one in the room with the explosion has their hearing affected or ears completely blown out, or suffers any injuries from the explosive blast or shrapnel
>Walt never uses his magic exploding powder again, even though there are SEVERAL instances where it could've come in handy
>The security guards below don't immediately kill Walt when they see him.
>WOW WALT IS LE EPIC BADASS!
yeah
