"Breaking Bad" on AMC

I started reading this entire thread but had to stop after awhile.

OK, we're up to the final season and some of the story lines/writing has turned a little non-sensible.

1. So they have lost the lab under the laundry, which was bit far fetched anyway in my mind but I can deal with it. Maybe its left over from an old factory. Now they are cooking in houses being tented for bugs? Loading and unloading roadie crates full of equipment and supplies and cooking in a tent set up in the living room? The home owners don't think anything of why one company take one day to kill their bugs and this company takes 3 days? Walt and Jesse coming and going in/out and no one notices? Come on how about something a little more plausible?

If it was me I'd have built a lab in a 20' shipping container and buried it under a pile of scrap cars in the junk yard. Noise/smells no problem. No one thinks about you coming and going cause no one sees you.

2. The great train heist. Give me a f'n break! They stopped a train and the car they needed just happens to stop over the bridge where the tanks are buried? Why couldn't the writers have them high jack a tanker truck while the driver was at Waffle House? It would have been more believable.

BTW my wife hates it when I point out things like this so I have to come and vent here. Thank you.

A couple of thoughts:

You must suspend more disbelief. Yes some of the setups were a little too convenient. However, more than offset by a great story arc, acting and surprise elements that are brilliantly conceived.

You must binge-view more often.

The lab under the laundry isn't that far fetched. Gus was ready to pay Walt $3 million for a couple months work, which means Gus was making a lot more than that. I would think the cost to build that bunker would have been paid for in no time.

As for the train, you're right it was a little out there but stopping the train over the bridge seems like a calculation Walt would thrive on.

You have a treat coming in the final season. I wasn't all that happy with some of the story line but I still contend the final episode is the greatest finale to any TV show in history.

I found other episodes more compelling (but w/o the required "ending"). The last episode, "Felina", was highly rated. I felt it was just rewards for a great series and tied up the loose ends nicely.

However, there were a couple of examples of "aw, come on" as I watched the last episode (I described in post #210). My mileage varied; that's just me.

- Lab under the laundry: have you seen those idiots' bunkers in Gaza? Where there's a will there's a way.

- Train heist: didn't Lydia have access to how the trains were made up at the last stop? I seem to remember some of that in the story line.

- Cooking in the fumigation tents: VERY "Walt" if you ask me.

I too have trouble suspending my disbelief at times. The show does get a bit more outlandish as it developed, no doubt, but that also made it so damn interesting.

Hold on for the finale - it'll be worth it!

We watched the finale the other night. I'll have to agree, it was an azz-kicker. Before we watched it my wife and I tried to come up with how he (the writer) was going to wrap all the lose ends up. He did a hell of a job, we never thought of it ending like that.

Plus this week they walked off with a bunch of Emmy Awards. Perfect timing.

I love the show and am re-watching some of it currently but as for suspending disbelief, the whole show is about as believable as Walking Dead. There isn't one aspect of it that I've ever found believable. From the world's dumbest cops to the world's luckiest criminals to that Mike guy who has super powers and always knows what everyone else is up to before they do to....

You just have to enjoy it for the wonderful acting and characters. Anna Gunn is amazing.

Looks like they found Walt's stash in el lay:

I called it.....Walt isn't dead.

Faking bad.
That's pure fiction, breaking bad is not coming back.

[Heel n Toe]

Well, I did some digging, and it's not true. The writing in that piece sounded pat and fake, and nothing came up in a Google News search, so I went back to that link and noticed right away that it's suspect.

nbc.com.co?

Ugh.

That whole site is bogus.
