EternallDarkness Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 yeah..insanely late to the party. For years friends have been telling me to watch and I always said I would get around to it. When the pandemic first started I said great, everything is closed, stuck at home now I'll finally get around to watching it. Well I only made it in 2 episodes before I ended up getting sidetracked with something else. Finally returned to it the other day and am now on episode 6 of the second season. Some crazy stuff...yo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Did your version cut out the distracted pity handjob Walter gets from Skylar in the first episode? It was in when I watched on Netflix years ago and apparently gets cut sometimes from later versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing that it was sometimes being cut and thinking that's a really bad scene to cut since it's important for setting up how completely impotent (har har) Walter is feeling about his life at the start of the series.

SoberChef Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Don't feel bad, I didn't fully watch the series until around about 5 or so years ago as well, enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputator Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Some of the most intense television I ever watched. I also watched it when my dad was battling cancer so I mean... meta intense for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 The show only gets better and better! If you can get past the first episode or two it really hooks you. I've had 2 people over the years I recommended the show to but they only watched the first episode and didn't like it. One person said the show looked too "grimey" lol.

thewhyteboar Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have some of the best directing I've ever seen. Just incredible shots and compositions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. Recently rewatched it on Netflix and it definitely in. Also agreed. It seems like a silly thing on paper but it's actually one of the scenes that drives home exactly why Walt doesn't give a fuck anymore.

I'm kind of jealous of your experience & viewpoint through that lens! Having all that knowledge of Saul, Mike, Gus, etc. How did that play & inform moments & scenes when viewing BB after the fact?

I mean Gus is pretty much Gus is both series, but Saul and Mike's transformations are unreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve had a decade of hype to contend with. Did it live up to your expectations? Was any of it spoiled for you? I can’t imagine what it’s like being able to binge it all in a week as a first time viewer. Was that fun or exhausting? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that fun or exhausting? spoiled..nah. I knew a few bits and pieces but nothing major. Both fun and exhausting...especially when I think about how all five seasons were really only what happened over about a year. Watching Walt's transformation, the lines he was willing to cross...just wow. Sure, at first you sympathize with the guy and his desire to just secure a future for his family...but keeps crossing lines, his ego getting in the way, driving him into one bad decision after another, slipping further and further to the dark side...doing some seriously ##$#ed up shit. I'm sure I was like most viewers and struggled with rooting for the guy at times. And then there was poor Jesse and all the shit he gets put through. Seriously it seemed like n one ever passed up an opportunity to screw that kid over...freaking heartbreaking at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all that shit he went through, Jesse deserved a second chance. Was great to see his friends standing by him, and you really saw the growth in his character over the series and the movie, you could definitely see Mike's influence on him. Not ruthlessness, but a sense of honor. Even after all that shit, the guy who built the caged that housed him, he would have just taken the 1800 and left them if the guy hadn't pushed it. The casting and the acting for both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were phenomenal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
