  • When is this season actually going to start?

    4.5
    I've never actually done a review for anything but here goes.



    Having watched the first two seasons of this show over the weekend after hearing how great it is, I got rather hooked. Season one and two had great episodes and had lots of action with Walt and Jesse. Lots of cooking and lots of what I wanted to see. There were bad episodes, sure, and the supporting cast were terrible but it was still great.



    Then season two ended in the biggest anti-climax I've seen on TV for a long time, and it hasn't picked back up yet. I just want to know when is it going to get good again?



    So not a review of the episode but more a review of the series so far.moreless

    I was reading another forum and a plethora of users were commenting on how this was the best show on television. I do not agree with that sentiment, but it would be hard to argue against Breaking Bad being one of TV's elite dramas.



    That being said, this really felt like filler to me. When did Jesse decide to start cooking again? Wasn't he crying at the end of the last episode or did I miss something?



    I was also disappointed by the lack of the twin cousins here. Without saying a word they have managed to become two of the best characters on television.



    Hank getting closer to catching Jesse and Walt was the only advancement of any major storyline here. I'm definitely going to think twice the next time I do something illegal in front of an ATM!



    Good episode, but certainly not great.moreless

    Great episode of Breaking Bad, and the drama is getting more intense as the season continues, this season definitely had a very slow start, and it looks like things are starting to pick up a bit, with Hank getting one step closer to getting Jesse & Walt to the very intriguing ending. Jesse starts to cook again, and starts using Walt's "formula", meanwhile Walt & Skyler continue to argue, and Walt has a confrontation with Ted. Later he finds out that Jesse is using his formula to cook meth, resulting in him getting half of Jesse's money in the very end.



    Not a lot happened here in the two main plots, as a matter a fact, did Walt really do anything in this episode? The supporting cast of Breaking Bad has always been rather weak, but Hank kept us intrigued here.



    I was on the edge of my seat when Hank was questioning Kara, the girl from the gas station. Great tie in with the ATM machine too. Slow paced, but still great episode of Breaking Bad.moreless
  • Out of the fire, into the frying pan

    This week on Breaking Bad, Walt attempts to take his anger out on Beneke for Skyler's betrayal and stirs up some waves both there and at work but not without warning from Saul and Mike (scary bald dude) and he finds out that they've been bugging his house. Jesse gets and intro to Gus through Saul but only gets half, and Hank avoids El Paso like the plague with the Heisenberg case as his excuse. Overall, a little of a foot on the brakes after last week but it doesn't defer from the storytelling in any way. Especially like how easily everything in Walt's life is turned upside down over the course of about one day. A superior episode indeed and hope to see Walt get back into the biz soon and cook us some more you know what.moreless
