Bonzo posted:The real enemy of the entire series is Walt's ego. The guy is a raging rear end in a top hat and he puts everyone in danger just to prove a point. I can't remember if they ever explain why he left Grey Matter to become a high school teacher (for $48,000 a year) but I assume it was to prove someone wrong. From the wiki: quote:In 2016, Vince Gilligan finally revealed the true reason for why Walter left Gray Matter. He revealed that Walt left Gretchen and Gray Matter because he felt inferior to her and her wealthy family, thus confirming that his ego and pride were the reasons why. Yeah Saul is great but I’m glad they are wrapping it up after six seasons and I don’t want any more spin-offs like a Gus prequel. The cast is getting too old as flashback scenes of Saul in his 20s with Bob in heavy makeup are silly, and Mike is too elderly to be plausible as a hitman. Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:I think the sequel series to acclaimed drama Better Call Saul is pointless and stupid, just watch Better Call Saul, it's better. Saul is barely even the same character in the stupid sequel series. That’s true, rewatching BB there are some oddities with BCS, like Saul and Mike barely seem to know each other and don’t act like they went on a desert death hike after Mike sniped like six guys to save Saul.

I hear they are making a new series that takes elements from Better Call Saul & BB. like, it features a blue drug and the tagline is "Better Blast Cum" Aparrently Phizer are co-writing and producing it.

Its funny because Jessie is just a gently caress up and you almost think he must have had a lovely home life but nope, his parents are totally normal. From the plot of the one episode it sounds like they finally cut off their adult son because of drugs, which again, is a total normal thing to do. But he acts like everyone is wrong and that's why he has to make meth. And he never gets better because the 1st thing he does out of recovery is gently caress them out the house they are trying to sell, which he destroyed in the first place. And then he fucks it up again. The original idea was to kill Jesse in season 1 and they should have stuck with that, really. I have a very hard time believing Gus and Mike wouldn't kill him at any time. He's not critical to any plot really and just sits around saying, "Yo Mr. White. Bitch" Edit: I am also re-watching LOST and Kate fucks up less than Walt and Jesse

Well speaking of shows going on way too long. I like BCS well enough but drat the whole thing should've been like 3 seasons tops.

Like, it’s hard to watch scenes with Chuck because he’s such a piece of poo poo. Where as Jimmy is more of a lovable fuckup.

the only time walt was competent at crime was when other people did it for him (gus, skylar) that is the punchline i believe

Gus was cool but I hate how nerd culture has seized on him like they've never seen a calm, collected baddie before. So now we get Star Wars and also Far Cry (poo poo games lol) starring Gus Fring as Himself and I just cringe at how uncreative it is.

Der Kyhe posted:Likely because David Simon was still convinced that he was 100% correct every time the chief editor or owner killed his stories or ideas when he was still just a reporter in the Baltimore Sun. So the "good guy" journalists were always the best but went unnoticed or unthanked, the one who got famous and became the editor's favorite was cheating, and the owners were just the meddling executives too stupid to understand the art that is being journalist. And "the best of the best" got shitcanned because he was too difficult to work with. You guys bringing up The Wire newspaper season made something click in my head: The "good guy" reporter from The Wire is named Gus and his boss is played by the same actor who plays Gale in BB, who works for Gus Fring. What a whacky coincidence am I right

Who What Now posted:WTF I don't remember this at all (but I don't doubt it happened) I got the timing of where it is wrong, it's the first episode of the second season, so it's this but: Bonzo posted:There's a scene in the second episode or something where Walt has rough (consensual) sex with Skyler. I think that was his attempt to try and re-create that for some reason and he pushes her up against the fridge and they both stop. Its really odd and that angle never happens again. ....but the way it goes is she asks where he's been and in response wordlessly pushes her against a fridge while she asks him to let her step away, and then he penetrates her hard. Before he penetrates her, she is resisting, saying let me clean this stuff off my face (she's in a robe wearing a facial mask), and trying to get him to stop. He keeps going and doesn't listen up until he is fully inside her and crushing her entire body into the fridge and she screams out STOP IT at the top of her lungs and that is when he pulls out and walks away. The fact that he stops doesn't make the fact that he just roughly penetrated her aggressively without warning not rape, nor does it make it consensual simply because she was attempting to bargain with him to get him to stop. She's clearly upset, and tries to resist and he pushes it until she's literally in physical pain. Only at this point does he step back and look at what he's doing. People try to say it plays on the edge of consent but that's some leftover 00's brain worms IMO. It one of those really clear 'this guy is a villain' red flags that a lot of people seem to miss or try to explain away to give a little more leeway to Walt. Dude rapes his wife. Bryan Cranston himself said he felt this scene was a rape scene and played it as such: Bryan Cranston posted:This was a very, very delicate scene... ...it basically gets into what I felt was a rape scene. I was done after this, as this was during the height of Heisenberg Fandom and people were super into Walt as a Scarface kinda thing and I was like gently caress this dude who rapes his pregnant wife he's no working man's hero caught between a rock and a hard place, he's a shithead.

I get a real kick out of how consistently Kendall fails in Succession. It's comical. Tom and Greg are always funny too.

I don’t really like the new succession season but I watch it with my friend whos really into enneagrams and we enjoy pointing at the screen and being like “Roman is an unhealthy 3 with a 2 wing… Tom is a classic six seven”. It’s not a bad way to spend an evening
