Breaking Bad

--- Quote from: Mr. Javii on May 31, 2009, 11:37:45 PM ---Uhh, what the fuck? In a single episode, Breaking Bad has turned into a JJ Abrams type of show. Not feeling it!
--- End quote ---
How so? I really liked it. The whole thing was intense. I have to watch the whole season again now. I love how it all tied together. The whole time I was thinking the bear was somehow foreshadowing a drug war and a murder.
What we got instead was the full capacity of what Walt's actions have caused. All he wanted to do was make sure his family was taken care of when he died from cancer and instead he gets to live but everyone else's life is fucked up. Like I said I have to watch it again to really get it but what I saw so far was brilliant.

I understand the point, I just found it to be unnecessary the way it was done. It was just over the top. Jane's death and Walt realizing that the guy he talked to in a bar was Jane's dad would have made that point and have it to be a bit more realistic. It would have been a perfect 10/10 score, if they would have left out all of the black and white scenes throughout the series plus the ending and leave it with Skyler leaving Walt.

To me it worked a lot better the way it was, with the black and white scenes. The only part I didn't like was how he just randomly bumped into Jane's dad in the bar in the first place. The explosion,l the teddy bear, everything else was awesome. And I'm almost positivce it's a lot deeper than the first viewing. I'll tell you what I think again after I watch it all a second time.

Walt and Jane's dad randomly meeting is less of a coincidence then debris falling on Walt's house as a result of an error caused by Jane's dad. That's my problem with it, I don't mind these little coincidences but the larger ones are a bit meh. It's something that I see on other TV shows. I'm not not going to lie, it's all cleverly done but for the overall story it doesn't fit for me. The Episode name that reveals the final scene is also clever, "737" "Down" "Over" "ABQ", and these were the episodes that had the black and white scenes. It's clever and everything, and also completely unexpected but I just don't see how it fits in the Breaking Bad universe the writers have created.

I didn't find it any less believable than a high school chemistry teacher walking into a top level drug dealer's base with an explosive rock and walking away unharmed. The show has already suspended disbelief a few times. It was a small co-incidence that was set up alll season and it's meant to be a deeper symbol. You're making it sound like Crash the movie. This isn't a docudrama that's supposed to show the real life stories of the drug world. it's a charater study and with a character study you are allowed some artistic license.
