Breaking Bad.

[MasterBlaster]

A new series on AMC about a chemistry teacher that finds out he has terminal C so to make some quick bucks for his family he uses his skills to cook the best meth ever invented.

It looks interesting, I've always liked that actor.

Thats the guy out of Malcom in the middle, bit of a change of chracter for him then, I thought he was pretty funny in that should be good.

[sawinredneck]

They had a special on AMC about it the other day. Loks to be really good!

[OLD PUP]

Tune in Jan. 20th. at 9 or 10 pm. for " Cooking Meth Thru Modern Chemistry". This show should be well received, by all .

[The Branch Doctor]

WTF:?

[Tom_Scheller]

When you have to say that 'The end justifies the means, the end almost never justified the means."

TS

[MasterBlaster]

Well, we'll just have to watch the show before passing judgement.

[Tom_Scheller]

MB
I'm just slightly tweaked about the 'man doesn't have a life until he starts breaking the law' thing. I guess it's not the worst thing that kids see on tv, though my wife's students are already asking if she can show them how to cook it.

TS

TS

[MasterBlaster]

That show comes on later and is meant for adult viewing. I wouldn't let "kids" watch it.

[RaisedByWolves]

Thats parents these days......



But it does look like a good show.

[stehansen]

I have my concerns also like that cooking meth will be looked upon by viewers as being more mainstream and not just done by tweakers. I set my TV up to record it next sunday in case I forget to watch.

[sotc]

I set my TV up to record it next sunday in case I forget to watch.

you can do that?:what:

[Che]

Anyone else watch it? I haven't formed a solid opinion yet.....I wonder where they can go with it.

Definitely for an older audience....luckily my 16 y.o. son wasn't sitting next to me during the scene where the wife was doing work on her computer and her husband at the same time. :O

[MasterBlaster]

Damn! I missed it! Crapskis!

[vharrison]

Damn! I missed it! Crapskis!

You posted it, how could you miss it?:?

[MasterBlaster]

I was at bible study. :/:

[sotc]

uh huh:D hows wal mart?

[stehansen]

I have Dish Network DVR that I can record it on. And yes Mr. Oregon I have learned how to use some of the features on it. It wasn't necessary because I happened on it about half way through and they showed it again right after. I thought it was pretty good. He looks killer in his tightie whities. I won't say anymore for those who didn't see it.

SOTC, I know this is a long way from you but my stepdaughter moved to Portland yestrday.

[cybergeek23851]

I caught it as well. I have to say it's got potential to go in many directions before it ends.

[MasterBlaster]

So how far did last night's episode go? Did he find out he had cancer? He didn't start cooking meth already, did he?

[cybergeek23851]

Yes and Yes.

[sotc]

yeah thats 4 hours north of me steve, hope she settles in well and in a good area

[top hopper]

Hmmm I watched and thought it was pretty good.

I missed the cancer bit though.

Seems like a good show, I liked it. It has potential to rival FXs network shows which have all been good.

[MasterBlaster]

I missed the cancer bit though.


That's the reason he went outlaw, to make money for his family before he dies.

[stehansen]

Maybe they will do like they did with Prison Break and play the previous weeks show before the current show.

[top hopper]

The pilot is airing again tonight at 9 pm central time.

50 minutes from now

[MasterBlaster]

:thumbup:

Right after the Sarah Conner Chronicles on FOX. Sweet.

[MasterBlaster]

I'll give it a six. :drink:

Maybe a seven.

The last 5 seconds was funny!

[sawinredneck]

Yeah, it's pretty f'd up!!!!
I kinda like it!!!

[stehansen]

Don't forget to watch tonight!

[MasterBlaster]

Word.

Although the first show wasn't quit as spellbinding as I was hoping it woulda been.

[stehansen]

I was a little disappointed also. Some of the stuff was a little unbelievable like how he could pass out at his second job go to the hospital and get a diagnosis of terminal cancer all in one afternoon and without his wife and kid finding out. Pretty clever the way he gassed those guys. Another thing I thought was a little stupid was that the Fire Dept. would drive right by an accident to go to a grass fire without having at least one unit stopping to make sure everyone was OK. I know we have to have some dramatic license but jeez. One thing that I thought was very realistic was how the buyers right away being career criminals were going to prey upon the sellers because they were amateur criminals.

[Tom_Scheller]

It reminded me of that Mencken quote, "Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, raise the black flag, and start slitting throats. " That Michael Douglas movie, Falling Down (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106856/trailers-screenplay-E12431-310), too.

TS

[MasterBlaster]

Wow, pretty freaky episode - what with the hydrochloric acid and all...

[stehansen]

Yeah, pretty crazy.

[MasterBlaster]

It's on.

It's evolving into an interesting show.

[sawinredneck]

Indeed it is!!!!
Sucks I have to go to bed and didn't set the vcr!!!
I need a DVR!!

[OTGBOSTON]

you need "on demand"........

[sawinredneck]

I need a decent work schedule!!!

[stehansen]

I'm enjoying it.

[MasterBlaster]

Wow, helluva ending! :rockon:

[OTGBOSTON]

Its getting goood now!

[TC3]

Dang, I'm missing all of it !
& I was so up for a new show to get into >>> CSI & all of its entrails have worn me to a nub.

[MasterBlaster]

I'm sure they'll have a marathon eventually.

[stehansen]

Yeah, pretty clever.

[MasterBlaster]

The cool indian janitor getting busted really sucked.

[sawinredneck]

I missed the last 20 min. of it!!! He was visiing the kid in the hospital.

Yeah the janitor deal sucked!!

[Paul B]

just checked, episodes 2 through 5 are on the on demand pay per view, free. :) I am watching part 3 now.

[TC3]

(kickin' the dirt)....
Justdammitman.

[OTGBOSTON]

the on demand pay per view, free. :) .

:?

[squisher]

Canada everything is free here, that's why our taxes are so high.8)

[TC3]

Get the guest room ready..........
:/:

[Paul B]

the cable company has the pay per view stuff. its listed as ' extras' and is offered free. its video on demand so when I click 'ok' on screen its available to me for 24 hours. pause, rewind etc. kinda like a VCR but no tape :)

Shaw on demand (http://www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsServices/Television/OnDemand/VideoOnDemand.htm)

[OTGBOSTON]

I have it too, greatest thing going. Thought it was kinda funny...... free-pay per view:D

[Paul B]

its just a carrot they dangle I am sure. no commercials and such so I cant see it being a regular thing. But they advertise the breaking bad with 'premier episodes sunday nights, available on VOD the next day". I will take the freebies where I can get them. :)

[stehansen]

I thought the janitor getting busted was interesting because it showed how there could be unintended consequences to innocent people. As soon as he started asking his partner's friend about the distributor I was thinking "is Walt going to have to go over and take care of this guy"?

[MasterBlaster]

Innocent people? According to the cop he was a major marijuana user! Hang the bastid!!!

[stehansen]

Innocent people? According to the cop he was a major marijuana user! Hang the bastid!!! Has Ekkka hacked into Butch's account?

[Paul B]

potheads!

[squisher]

Lol Paul that just sounds funny coming from somebody living in BC. Everyone knows we don't tolerate that stuff up here.:D

[Paul B]

squash. tolerate? shit they barely prosecute for weed down here. its almost as easy as tabaccy! I dont partake but its widespread, its true!

[squisher]

Lol I know I shoulda put a :P razz on there. I smell it in traffic I see people smoking it on the sidewalks, ya can't spend a day at the beach without smelling it. Hell I think they have even decriminalized smaller amounts, haven't they? I can't remember.:D

[Paul B]

I think a couple years ago for city of vancouver they dont prosecute for a small amount, maybe an ounce or less? not sure.

[OTGBOSTON]

This "Canada" place is sounding better all the time......:/:

[RaisedByWolves]

Does anyone here have Verizon Fios?



Can I get it in their PPV or is this another reason to regret my decision to switch from cable?



Comcast was GIVING me everything, Free HBO, 30K mbps for the price of 5, and lotsa content in the Demand section.

Do you have more HD channels? Is the pic quality better? I'm gonna hafta make the descision soon.

[OTGBOSTON]

Hell yea. It's just too goddamned cold.


And they talk funny:D

[RaisedByWolves]

The pic quality is better, but I only have tube TV's so of now, so how much better and how much HD content there is I cant say. I can view the HD channels now, but I couldnt with my old service, but this may have been the box.



Comcast has WAY more free on demand though, Im pissed about that, plus they were giving stuff away on the QT. I had free HBO, insane download speeds, they werent charging us for boxes/modems.


Sigh.....

[Skwerl]

Verizon doesn't give nuthin away. :what:

[squisher]

Ha a Bostonian saying I talk funny.:lol:

[stehansen]

Ha a Bostonian saying I talk funny.:lol:

Not only that, but you would think that someone from the same town as Ted Kennedy wouldn't be making fun of other people.:D

[OTGBOSTON]

Touco is a badass! I watched it on demand. My wife watched it last night claims it was the season finale?:cry:

[stehansen]

I wonder what repercussions the SIL's shoplifting habit will have in the next season.
