You're coming in at the perfect time. Season 2 finale is coming this week so you'll have everything on tap. Waiting week to week for new episodes was torturous!

thanks Andy,

I was desparate to catch up after seeing the first 2 eps of Season two so I watched all the rest via the 5 min catch up videos on amc.com it was surprisingly satisfying, but I'd still like to see the full versions.

I don't know if your cable provider has on demand out there, but if so you can see probably the past 5 episodes.

I plan in buying the 1st season whee this one is over and continue to watch every Sunday !

There's other ways... ;)

I've stumbled upon it only recently via this thread & got hooked instantly. If they manage to keep up the quality (and I only feel that it's getting better right now, as several people have already pointed out last ep was INSANE - the entire baby analogy thing was so fucking intense!) I think my mind is going to implode by the finale.

I will confess to using "the other way" too but plan on buying Blu-ray if they ever come out.

Amazon's video on demand service is pretty reasonably priced at 2 bucks an episode and the quality is pretty good.

And, yeah Bunnyboy the baby scene takes on a whole new meaning once you've seen the whole episode. So great.

I must have been tuning out the baby scene as childbirth and babies kinda freak me out.
What are you guys referencing??

I think it starts when Walt & Marie are tucking in the newborn, laying her on her side and Walter replies "A towel will do." to Marie. Later, after shooting up, Jane tells Jesse to lie on the side in case he throws up using a towel to stabilize him. Then Walter and Jane's father meet and talk about their despair over being helpless towards their respective children despite actually knowing what is best for them, as Walt puts it. And then THAT ending - the writing set it up perfectly and Cranston's awesome performance just KILLED it. Greatest moment so far in my opinion.

Vince Gilligan created and writes the series. He also wrote for X-Files.

I've never seen humor in this show. Just to close to home to often. The episode at the junkie house when the little kid came out made me instantly go, "ok, so there's one with a more fucked up childhood then my own."

This show helps to hold me over after the loss of Deadwood.

just watched the finale. didn't realize what you guys were talking about until i re-read this thread. I didn't pick up the baby analogy during the episode. but.....insane to say the least.

I wouldn't really call this a comedy or even a dark comedy.

How did you watch the finale ? this weekend it airs.

I would say dark comedy for sure though.

What I really like about the series is that despite its rather bizarre set-up which makes you expect "whacked-out dark comedy" in the first place it manages to go into genuine and, thinking of that insane last ep again, disturbing drama. Actually, the only scenes from that episode that I found a bit tacked-on and not as well written as they usually are were the ones with Bob Odenkirk - the comedy just felt a bit forced to me in the overall darkness of that episode (although Gilligan & his team managed to pull that balance off brilliantly in the junkie house episode).

By the way, another favorite moment of mine from last ep: Walt standing in the garage, cradling the baby and telling her "Daddy did that." Just fucking brilliant. Can't wait for the finale...

Crazy.


I am nearly certain that many of the story lines are based on things that have actually happened to people. The old adage truth is stranger than fiction is very appropriate when it comes to the drug world. Especially some of the shit that happens in the California meth-scene. I've heard some crazy things from folks I know in some law enforcement jobs.

Remember the ephedrine-shot scene from Pulp Fiction? I watched the end of this past BB, and had the same OMFG-feeling, as Walt contemplated what to do. (Is it coincidence that Jane looked strikingly similar to Uma Thurman's Mia Wallace?)

So fucked up and yet so beautiful and so tragic.

I never thought they'd make it to season two.
Odd couple, buddy drama, but it's expanded into so much.

Mr. White is actually Mr. Dark.

Did you notice that the pink teddy was painted on Janes wall.

When the planes crashed over Walts house .... 2 worlds colliding.

Season 3 BETTER happen.

Someone mentioned this on the BB message area :

"Someone posted (in Eps 12's thread) that the color pink was associated with death (specifically the teddy bear, can't remember what else). Jane's comforter had a pink pattern. And have you ever seen Walt wear anything that bright?! It's the death of Walt and the rise of Heisenberg."

Again amazing

Jesse really got me in this one. As much as Cranston brings the quiet thunder, I think Aaron Paul does an amazing job playing his counterpart.

And now the wait... Mad Men in August though!
