Vince Gilligan's choices as writer/producer/director are impeccable. He captures what's best of exploitation cinema and melds it with a real knack for characterization and pacing. This is one show where there are no wasted loose ends, where you never feel like you're in the hands of an amateur.<br /><br />You know a show is great when you find yourself thinking about it while watching other programs. For example, I was recently watching an episode in season 4 of "Sons of Anarchy," when a major character murders someone to get out of a mess he is in. I found myself underwhelmed by the scene and thought about "Breaking Bad." I realized that Vince Gilligan and his team of writers always find a way to make every character important and resonant in some way, so that when they die, it means something. Kurt Sutter tends to off characters to propel his plot -- Gilligan does it to elevate the tension, develop themes, and reveal characters. They're not even in the same league as showrunners.<br /><br />When all is said and done, and "Breaking Bad" is over, it will no doubt go down as one of the top 5 shows of all-time, and with good reason. It is original, inventive, explosive, and relevant. I have not felt this strongly about any show since "LOST," and I'm glad you're posting about it here, Nikki.<br /><br />Now, we have to wait another year for the final season, however AMC chooses to break it up for us...sigh...Ambivalentmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340690686932188014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-9180457809952926862011-10-18T13:16:32.643-04:002011-10-18T13:16:32.643-04:00Wow, I don't think I ever thought Gus was gay....Wow, I don't think I ever thought Gus was gay...that makes him the most badass TV character since The Wire's Omar.<br /> <br />Hector was the most intense nose-breather EVER. Every moment he was onscreen made it hard for me to breath non-erratically. <br /><br />I can't wait for next season to see what happens when Mike returns, & what Jesse will do if & when he finds out the truth. I'll rewatch Gale's amazing karaoke video to fill the time.Lisa Ferreirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577826906748816526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-68464069230687460182011-10-17T21:57:25.883-04:002011-10-17T21:57:25.883-04:00Every moment of the finale was tense, and for the ...Every moment of the finale was tense, and for the big reveal to NOT be that Gus Fring is the new two face, (but actually dead), but that WW is the child poisoner--well, I just didn't believe it ‘til I saw it. <br /><br />I think I held my breath for the last 10 min of the show. And re-watching it, I noticed Walter is actually wearing a color that doesn't look like sand. Heisenberg throughout the last two episodes, wears a bright green shirt, rather than the bland Walter White desert tones. I wouldn't mind seeing a study of the use of color in this show. It is used very deliberately, even beyond the names (White, Pinkman), and Marie's penchant for purple.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219841452322761803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-81191914360828943052011-10-17T17:08:16.446-04:002011-10-17T17:08:16.446-04:00Such an amazing show and for those that need to ca...Such an amazing show and for those that need to catch up the first three seasons are on Netflix instant watch right now....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17448475542617536585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-8786784285729463252011-10-17T16:23:23.049-04:002011-10-17T16:23:23.049-04:00When Walter says "I won" at the end I th...When Walter says "I won" at the end I thinks he means Heizenberg has won the battle for Walter's soul instead of Walter over Gus.<br /><br />Please gods of television - can we somehow see a team-up of Walter White, Walter Bishop & Sheldon Cooper?<br /><br /> -Tim AlanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-25535793252643482852011-10-17T10:28:51.117-04:002011-10-17T10:28:51.117-04:00This?

At some point during every episode, my wife and I turn to each other and intone a variation on the phrase, "Dude, this show is so freaking <i>awesome</i>!" Because it just. Keeps. Reminding. You.<br /><br />Season four was phenomenal, from that gory opening salvo, through the grime and depravity of Jesse's Slough of Despond (maybe the most intense scenes ever assembled for the show, and man that is really saying something), the dark beauty of Gus' vengeful machinations, the teeth-grinding back and forth of Hank's new investigations, and finally being graced with an entirely successful Walter White scheme. What a joy to behold.<br /><br />Some great musical moments this year, too, but hard for all of them not to be overshadowed by the Apparat in the finale:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKB1ba03qiA<br /><br />RIP, Gus Fring.

I just finished Season 4 earlier this week, and oh my spaghetti monster, it was unbelievable! <br /><br />I had a lot of empathy for Gus, though, despite him being a cold criminal. I really enjoyed the subtext of his character -- I don't know if you think the same, but to me, the man who was shot was his lover, and he spent his lifetime avenging his lover's death. When we meet him, he's already undergone the character transformation that we see happening to Walter White in the series: from a loving man to a stone cold killer. I also think he's a closeted gay man because he lives in this lovely house and cooks gumbo, and talks about his "family", yet we never see his wife and kids.The Chapati Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916089544395886858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-89384567945330737282011-10-16T20:48:17.778-04:002011-10-16T20:48:17.778-04:00This is such an amazing show!

My brother just introduced me to it last winter and I caught up on all the seasons in record time.<br /><br />I'm really curious to see how the show ends as well. I hope things turn out well for Jesse and that his life resolves itself okayAECnoreply@blogger.com
