Re: Breaking Bad Season 5
I'm hooked, I love Saul. The best line so far was Charlie to Saul (James McGill), "wouldn't you rather build your own success than ride on someone else's coattails?"
Brilliant reference to the coattails of one Walter White. Not to mention the obvious parallel with Saul making his first foray into the underworld in episode 1. Right away, he broke bad, and now we get to see all that takes place from point A to point B. Don't put it past Vince Gilligan to make this show every bit as brilliant as his first masterpiece.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5
I never really got the show. I got to the middle of season 2 and stopped watching.
I think that Jesse guy reminded me too much of a coworker at the time so I couldn't deal with that drama. Now that I no longer deal with that, I might try to pick it back up and see how it goes. |

GoT's first ep was pretty terrible though. "here's 500 people and 0 reason to care about any of them." turned out alright though. |

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5
I thought the first couple of eps of BB were slow too. Took me a while to come back...once he started making the blue stuff it all changed.
I really am loving the BCS so far though. I don't care about the pace. Most of BB followed roughly the same pace and I loved it. Only in the last two seasons did everything get crazy. Besides BSC doesn't have to be one of the five-best shows ever for me to like it. I think too many BB fan-boys won't give it a chance because it probably can't be as good as BB. |

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5
If your attention span is too short for BB or Better Call Saul, I question your intelligence.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5
I think sometimes if I see the set up as the most desperate situation in someone life too many times then I know where its going. clearly see this in both series with the writing. Im giving it a chance, but the hyperbole of ground breaking is head shaking imo. The dark humor of the situation is why im watching.

I think if you're not patient enough to let character development take place then I wonder if you have ADD. I have never once given up on a show because it was developing too slowly. I give up on shows because the writing/acting sucks. But not because it's taking time. F'ing mericans.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5
OK let me rephrase. If your attention span is too short for BB or Better Call Saul, I think less of you, because you either have the brain/attention span of a child or just have no idea what good TV is.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5
Eh...I find it hard to comprehend how someone could not like BB. But I also know they can't comprehend why I do like it. So everyone has different tastes. I am not offended if people don't like what I like in terms of culture and arts. Now when it comes to football and sports in general...that's a different story.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5
I am. I am appalled at anyone who tried watching BB and then turns around and says they lost interest.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5
There are people who love BB, there are people who never saw BB, and then there are morons.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 5
Schneed, can you give us an example of a new TV show(season 1 or 2) that entertained you while developing characters too slowly?
