I disagree. I feel the 2nd half of season 5 is the weakest of any of the seasons, but the finale makes up for it.
@calothin 4 жыл бұрын
@@mrskinszszs that is an interesting take. I just find it so compelling because the tension is high, Walt is at his peak viciousness, jessie realizes that walt is a liar and used him, hank is unraveling everything that has happened, everything sitting on the edge of a knife. You are right, the finale is a masterpiece.
@mrskinszszs 4 жыл бұрын
@@calothin I can see why people would say that. I actually feel like the first half of season 5 is one of the strongest. It set up for very interesting directions to take it in, but they had a lot of missed opportunities. I felt they could have used an extra season to fully develop some of the choices they made. They blew their wad on Gus and rushed in the idea of the neo-Nazis being his final nemesis, despite only being around for a handful of scenes. We really know nothing about them aside from being neo-Nazis, and they were only Walt's enemies for roughly 3 episodes. Compare that to the 2-3 season story arc they devoted to building up Gus as a character, even giving us flash backs to his past. It's kinda hard for me to take the entire premise of the season seriously. They tried to compensate by pulling out Jesse every so often simply to show how evil they are, but it didn't have the same impact as Walt matching wits with someone just as intelligent as he is.
@IHamilton9320 4 жыл бұрын
Kolby K I agree almost entirely with your comment here, but I have an interesting take on the neo nazis. Gustavo Fring was Walt’s ideal self. He had everything, he had everybody’s respect, he was successful and secretive while still being appreciated by the public. Walter killed him, becoming his own boss and the neo nazis seem to represent his blind ego and thirst for power and money. That is the true demon that he has to defeat, and he does in the end. He frees Jesse, somebody who once was a pet/son to him, and he kills Jack rather than finding out where all of his riches went. He admits he did it for himself, etc etc I could go on and on. Walt may not fully redeem himself, at that point it is impossible, but he definitely has grown from the monster that he had become at one point. Every character served their purpose and I think if he hadn’t faced the neo nazis, he might never have died with that look of satisfaction on his face.

That intro was sick brotha! Was waiting to see if you were gonna sport the tighty whiteys lol. This is to me the greatest show of all time as well. It’s flawless. The performances were perfect. Just ask Sir Anthony Hopkins. It’s been said that most characters in shows don’t truly transform. They grow and learn, but to do a complete 360? Not common. The Hollywood reason for this is because once we invest in the nature of a character on tv we expect that character to ultimately stay consistent. It’s comforting. Walter white goes from a down and out, borderline pathetic man, to an absolutely terrifying monster. Experiencing that transformation never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for this Cody!

Therefore Breaking Bad is STILL my favorite show of all time. Great review Cody, I look forward to the rest.

Ok, I seriously have to thank you. I discovered you from your Dexter reviews and ironically I had watched the pilot of both Dexter and Breaking Bad years ago with my ex & we weren't into either of them. But I ended up deciding to give Dexter another shot last year and after a few episodes I just fell in love with it. I still wasn't planning on trying Breaking Bad again though but after you kept going on about it in one of your Dexter reviews I decided why not give it another shot too and DUDE! 😳 now I totally get what all the fuss is about OMG! I literally watched all 5 seasons in about a month, watched El Camino last night and now am starting on Better Call Saul (have you seen it btw? I didn't check if you'd done any reviews on it or not). I can't believe they almost killed off Jesse, he's actually my favorite character & I can't even begin to imagine what the show would've been like without him but I seriously doubt it would've been anywhere near as successful. To me he is the heart and soul of the show. And talk about chemistry, the chemistry btwn Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul is just unbelievable. Every time they were in a scene together it's just pure magic. Of course they are both tremendous actors on their own but together, there's really just no words. Anyway going to go check out your reviews of later seasons but I just had to drop in and say thank you for helping to turn me on to such an amazing show. Science bitch! 😜👊💥

I also didn't really like 'Fly' at first but I appreciated it on second viewing.

Hey Cody I don’t know if you’re an X Files fan, but Vince Gilligan, “Breaking Bad’s” creator and show runner is an alumni writer of the X Files. Episodes like “Drive” with Bryan Cranston in 1998 (10 years before “Breaking Bad”), “Bad Blood” and “Pusher” are excellent and some of the show’s best. I wish Gilligan had done some of the main story of the X Files. He seems to know how to tell a complete story in 45 minutes. Lol Just was curious your thoughts on that. I’ve only watched Breaking Bad once all the way through, but I remember loving it the first time and want to revisit. Currently loving the prequel series “Better Call Saul” Edit: you did mention the X Files episode Bryan Cranston was in. Lol But I am curious what you think of Vince Gilligan as showrunner. You sound like you love Breaking Bad. Lol
