Decent episode but shouldn't have been the season premiere. It would've been better off as the season finale of the first season. I wouldn't be surprised if this episode was intended to be just that. It certainly would've worked a whole lot better. And Trigon's defeat was very anticlimactic. I'm sure that was because he won't be the focus of the season which is why this should've been the season finale of the first season and not this season's premiere. I don't get why it was decided otherwise, but it is what it is.
Out of all the people it could've been. Fuck. To be fair, I like every main character so it probably would've been just as affecting if it was someone else, but still. Rest in peace, Capt. Zoe Andersen.
I like that Jesse got back the house and how he got it back. His parents deserved it. Walter's lucky that he met Gus before those two guys decided to come and go after him.
I'm not an expert on guns and gun recoil, but I find it pretty dumb that both Hank and Steve were able to get behind cover without getting shot. Both of them were in the open, and Jack, Todd, and everyone else was aiming right at them yet they manage to get behind decent cover without getting shot. I think they're even luckier than Walter.
I was never a fan of Gus, but the scene where the sniper is shooting near him and he keeps walking forward was pretty badass.
Contrary to what people think about this episode, I liked it a lot. It's probably one of my favorite episodes of this season. I didn't particularly like Hank and Dawn back in the second episode when they made their first appearance, but this episode made me like them a lot. I liked Hank's brother a lot too. It's a shame what happened to him. Perhaps the writers can bring him back somehow, that'd be cool.
Well, this is it. I've finally watched Breaking Bad. I'm a little depressed, not sure if that's the right word, how Jesse looks and is completely different than he was earlier in this season and the previous seasons. But I'm glad that even after all that Walter has done and how much it affected Jesse, they still had somewhat of a bond at the end and I liked how they nodded at each other when Jesse was about to drive away.
Walter is slowly slipping into his Heisenberg persona in his personal life. It's only a matter of time before he slips a little too much. He needs to go back to being Heisenberg, selling meth, so he can be all badass out there instead of among his family. Taking the ending of the episode into consideration, Walter's whole plan of being done with his other life isn't working out too well. I wonder if those two guys, or at least the boss or leader, whatever you'd call him, realized he's Heisenberg since he told them to stay out of his territory. Or maybe they were just scared.
The family talk scene was so good. I understand Skyler's perspective as well as Walter's, but Marie was right and I'm glad Hank agreed with her. It's entirely Walter's choice. I wonder what happened between Skyler and Marie. Their quarrels seem more than simply being sisters and always at each other's throats.
Jesse is really hitting rock bottom, I feel bad for him. I get he's a drug addict and whatnot, but as far as everything else other than that, he's not that bad of a person. Walter on the other hand, is a complete asshole to Jesse and it's only getting worse. I like how there's still somewhat of a friendship or whatever you'd call it between them, as proven when he let him into his house and still gave Jesse the money after their fight.
Best episode of the season and of the show so far, I loved it. Walter and Jesse really bonded in this episode more than they ever have, and Jesse seems to be maturing, personality-wise. I like how Walter was a bit proud when Jesse answered correctly, but of course, he completely failed the next question in a humorous way.
I wonder if Gus was referring to Jesse when he told Walter to never make the same mistake twice.
That was a lot better than I was expecting. The trailer didn't do it enough justice. I knew I'd enjoy it based off the trailer. But now that I've watched it, the trailer seems like it could've been a whole lot better. I feel like this movie will one of those movies that I enjoyed very much and the majority will nitpick at, and that's completely fine. I totally wasn't expecting what I'd call a twist, not completely sure if others will feel the same way, near the end of the movie. And the acting in that scene, after the twist was revealed, was fantastic. From both Mads Mikkelsen and Vanessa Hudgens. Especially hers. I was a bit surprised on how different she looks in real life as opposed to her appearance in the movie. She looks like a completely different person compared to her character. I actually think how she looked in the movie was more attractive than she is in real life, not that she isn't attractive outside of this movie. Anyway, I hope there will be a second movie as the ending did suggest the possibility.
Skyler's story was great. I'd say she's a better liar than Walter, in making the lies sound extremely believable. She should have a part in what Walter's doing, a part where she'll have to talk with a lot of people and lie. Surely there's someone with a position like that in the whole chain of command.
As dark as what Walter did was, she deserved it. She was completely full of herself and blackmailed Walter for the money. Not to mention she was basically making Jesse's decisions for him. While she may have truly loved him, she would've definitely used that money to continue being an addict. That's most likely the very reason she even wanted the money. I'm not going to feel sympathy now that she's dead.
Saul's great. I like him already. I can't help but think that he's going to be a big part of the show from this point forward. He said it best. Even drug dealers need a lawyer. And he's probably the best possible lawyer any criminal can get.
Is it that tough to enjoy a show, nowadays? People seem to be disliking shows more and more, their standards rising higher, for no apparent reason, and needlessly nitpicking at everything. This was completely fine. It was very entertaining and had more than enough funny moments. I'm relieved that I'm not that way. I feel sorry for those who are.
Walter is already significantly different than he was in the previous season.
Watching the RV get destroyed was a bit saddening to watch. I'm sure it was worse for both Jesse and Walter.
This was great. The first two episodes were exceptional, and so was the finale, just in a different light. It had a proper horror-like feel to it, a level of disturbing, a decent amount of instances that showcased that, as far as seeing is concerned. The story was quite simple but perhaps too much, and easy for one to follow along with, and with a hint of intricacy, I guess? I'm not entirely sure. That could very well have been a different, dormant feeling. There were a few moments that caught my attention but unlike most people, I don't consider them to be a big deal. The only issue I can think of that I had is that it was too short. At least, that's how it felt. Three episodes, all long, yet even then, it still felt short. Progress was barely made and felt nonexistent. Like it was a prologue to something bigger, something more exciting. Disappointment, a strong poison of dislike towards Steven Moffat, whatever, go ahead and feel very differently about this show. I'm expecting a lot of people to do just that. Most people probably have already. That's completely fine. Have at it. Personally, I don't understand it. It all seems pointless and drivel to me. I must be immune to the poison that is disliking someone or something so strongly that anything from that moment of origin onward that has the involvement of that someone or something, is automatically hated. People are too wishful, too particular, and not in a good way. Well, that's too bad. I feel sorry for those infected. Anyway, back on track, this was very entertaining. I liked it very much. Hate it, love it, be disappointed at it, perhaps only regarding certain aspects, that's cool. Go mad with your desires. Just don't go too far.
I'm probably apart of the minority on this and there may be a few people who will get pissed off at me for saying this, but Jane absolutely deserved what Cliff said to her. I get that her past was and is very, very traumatic, I do. That doesn't mean she should get a pass every time she's being a bitch and shouldn't have shots fired back at her.
Decent season premiere. I'm surprised Skyler found out already. She's a lot smarter than she lets on.
You can clearly tell this episode isn't what you'd expect a season premiere to be like, due to this episode and the next being cut from the first season, next episode being the episode that was supposed to be the season one finale.
This was an exceptional finale. The twist did come out of nowhere, but I don't think it was an asspull without any foreshadowing. I mean, as I said, it did come out of nowhere, but I think hating it and calling it an asspull is unnecessary. Foreshadowing it would've ruined it. But I guess some people would prefer twists to be foreshadowed, for some odd reason. Plus, it's not like she did it and didn't react after she did it. She simply did it out of desperation without an active frame of mind, which is why she acted and reacted the way she did after the fact. I don't see the issue with that and how it came out of nowhere with no indication. Regardless, I enjoyed it. And I believe the ending opened up a door for new possibilities for a very interesting second season, which I hope will come to fruition.
People need to stop being so obnoxiously negative. This show is extremely entertaining. Maybe not always funny, in a sense, but certainly always entertaining. Entertaining isn't as subjective as funny. And if you don't find it to be entertaining, at the very least, you're doing something wrong. Lower your negativity, lingering expectations, and I bet you'll begin to find it entertaining, a little bit, at first.
Anyway, all that aside, I enjoyed watching this show very, very much. The fictional history of the in-show world and the subtle references to little bits and pieces of it came out of nowhere and was probably one of the most shocking aspects of it if not the most. But it was super interesting from the start, and then began to be entertaining and a very wonderful running gag, so to speak. The gradual descent into anguish and madness made for a compelling theme and didn't disappoint.
The VFX (or CGI?) of outer space, and maybe the space ship itself as well, something that I think I've seen a person or two complain about and call bad, or at least comparing it to a much older show that had "bad" VFX/CGI that also didn't age very well, didn't look remotely bad to me. In actuality, it looked quite good and...crisp or whatever, I don't know. Each significant character was entertaining. Yes, even Karen. Sure, if you're more passionate and generally immersive in what you watch than I am, you probably hate her and don't particularly like any of the other characters. That's fine.
Moving on, the main issue which a lot of people have with the show that I've seen is that it isn't funny, and I think that's a load of bollocks. While the show is advertised as a comedy or considered to be a comedy, first and foremost, you're supposed to be entertained. Not to mention, this is, without a doubt, and very obviously, a much different version of the comedy genre than usual. That alone should've been obvious before going off and complaining about how much the show sucks, and how remarkably unfunny it is. That being said, feel free to freely act negatively towards the show, most of you probably already have. I liked it and I'm looking forward to the second season, and it's a good thing for the show that those of you who I've mentioned, you know who you are, have been weeded out and won't be returning. Goodbye.
One of my favorite episodes. It's a shame Mike is dead. Walter shouldn't have let his emotions get the better of him. If he didn't, Mike would still be alive. Walter is becoming his own downfall. Jesse will find out he killed Mike sooner or later and that'll be the final nail in the coffin, Jesse will officially hate Walter and officially leave the whole business instead of always being dragged back. The business is more of an addiction than being a drug addict.
I bet Mike is super proud of Jesse now. Not only did he not just stand there, just like he did in the previous episode when the sniper was shooting at them, but he shot back and killed the one shooting at them this time. He took Mike's advice, in a sense, and did even more. He also saved both Mike and Gus.
I'm a little disappointed that the two brothers were killed off so soon. The one that Hank shot in the head, anyhow. I think the other one is still alive. I get Hank is one of the main characters and they aren't. So naturally, they were bound to get killed off, but I wish they were killed off differently and further into the season.
The talk between Marie and Skyler was pretty nice. I'm glad that they're putting their differences aside and whatnot.
I think this was a good finale even though the ending was meant to be a cliffhanger and surprising but to me, it wasn't. I think this finale set up for a second season very well. We don't know what happens to A-Train, whether he survives or not. We'll find out in the second season. The Deep finally had a genuinely emotional moment. Cool. Hughie, Frenchie, The Female/Kimiko, and Mother's Milk successfully escaped and are on the run. We'll see how that plays out in the second season. Homelander is now on the loose, no longer kept in control by Madelyn. We'll finally see what he's capable of when Madelyn is no longer apart of the picture in the second season. Billy was more of a villain at the end of the episode than Homelander because he let the bomb go off even though the kid was right there though you could put some of the blame on Homelander as well for bringing the kid downstairs. That's what I really like about the show. The "good guy" and the "bad guy" are essentially both the "bad guys." Good stuff.
