Tyrus

Tyrus

Can't decide between Saul and Badger

Tyrus

Tyrus

Skinny Pete

Holly.

sigh-rus.

argh Badger or Saul. My dream is for them to come together at some point.

They did!

Gus.

I meant for some sort of spinoff show 'One's a crooked legal genius, the other? Well he's just Badger"

would be awesome

I may go with a Wendy. I mean Wendy.

voted 4 skyler

Gus.

mike v saul

maybe gus hmmm

Mike.

It really says something about how well-drawn these characters are (especially Tyrus) that I was able to recall almost all of them without Wiki-ing their names.

would consider a vote for catseyeglasses old lady saying hello to walt on the balcony tbh

anybody who votes for ted gets banned fyi

Gus. Fuck it. I see no point in being try-hard intellectual about this.

no-one's gonna vote for the Eminem-wannabe, i take it?!? is Jesse the Janice Soprano of Breaking Bad (i.e., a basically unlikeable character whose unlikeability shades what some folks think about the actor)?

Gus

I definitely considered voting for Jesse. He's a totally likeable character

He's no Janice (or AJ) that's for sure

Tyrus

favorite Mike, least favorite Tuco

really? the cousins as two separate options?

kinda wanted to vote for huell but ended up voting hank

Mike

everyone knows it's Wendy

Hardest poll ever.

Thinking about it, it's Jesse or Gus. Though S1&2 Jesse>S3&4 Jesse. Goofy meth head beats brooding murderer.

Will anyone vote for Walt?

I <3 nu-Jesse more because of rooting for him to get his shit together, as opposed to being annoyed at his fuckwit slackerness.

Voting for Tyrus though, of course

walt is the actual real answer, he is 100% the best character on the show and the only one it is inconceivable w/o

no one votes for the main character in these things

Tyrus

i'd be weirded out if someone voted for ted

voting Tyrus, correct answer is Mike

Totally baffled by Tyrus love. Totally boring, scowling heavy, doesn't scare me. Agree with whoever said on other post that he looks perpetually like Madonna backup dancer. Totally missed casting opportunity IMO, should have complicated him w/ a sense of humor or really anything.

Voted Mrs. Pinkman

Really couldn't stand Jesse during the first seasons, but grew very attached to him during the last two. I think the actor's great too.

could someone plz explain the Tyrus meme going on here?

BREATHING FURIOUSLY

This is about right.

it's what's next man - 1997 is going to be ground zero for Those Were The Days any minute

god just thinking about the wild west frontier of '90s action cinema gets me misty eyed

I still think of stuff from 97 as kind of new.

Yeah so do I; or I did, until I saw this the other month - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcano_(1997_film)

Felt like a different universe.

On New Year's Eve 2009, I watched Godzilla 2000 because I'm a party animal.

As the monster tore down the buildings during that more innocent time and the crowds fled past store windows filled with blueberry iMacs, I finally realizedwhat a difference nine or ten years can make.

big lebowski turned 15 this week

believe me i know

LOL no way

Yessss

not enough Bob this last season imho

i guess that means he lives?

eh they could always set it in the past. this show's chronology makes no sense anyway

Not too keen on this idea. The character works best in small doses i think

WOULD WATCH WHERE DO I SIGN UP

ha beverly hills buntz

l-r, Badger, Goodman, Elizabeth Banks

Not sure how I feel about this either. He's good light relief in BB, but he's really just the same character as GOB from Arrested Development.

the difference is he's written better

Don't get the comparison really - just the buffoonishness?

iunno if he'd be good as the central character; seems like he'd need foils to work off?

Dunno, I never really saw Saul as much else other than GOB as lawyer rather than magician. Maybe it's because they look a bit similar, but yeah the buffoonishness too I guess. I guess the difference is that Saul's actually good at his job, but they have a lot in common.

I think it's an extremely odd comparison. They inhabit utterly different kinds of fictional universes for a start.

Must just be me then. Saul Goodman always felt like a comedic character breaking through from one studio into another during BB. I was never too keen on him to be honest.

like is this gonna be a sitcom or an episodic crime show or...?

Sitcom apparently - though I'm guessing one with dramatic elements.

set it in the past and bring back Jaaaaaane

set it in the past and bring back Danny Trejo for mismatched buddy comedy imo

buddy comedy with david cross's head on a tortoise

Sitcom apparently - though I'm guessing one with dramatic elements.

I could see it being more liek 30 Rock/Community ie not yr standard 3 camera sitcom. he would definitely need a cast of losers to play off

walter white remind anyone of gabe kotter?

WW: Skyyyler, [Rolls eyes once around the room before returning focus back to SKYLER, perched on couch. Sighs.] Skyler. Have I ever told you about my uncle from Santa Fe?

mike > saul > hank > a few various minor characters >>>>> the rest

this show did get 100x better after the first two seasons

Feel like this show is about one thing and one thing only, really: being addicted to the tension that comes from high risk behavior. This applies to the major characters, who all engage in dangerous behavior against their better judgment under pretexts of varying degrees of flimsiness, but also to the viewers, who are jerked through one long intense standoff after another. It's fun and it's interesting but it feels very self-contained and almost RPG-ish in it's construction and the way the characters are constantly being played against each other - it doesn't seem especially concerned with versimilitude or finely developed characters or anything really beyond OMG WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT/WHICH SUPPORTING CHARACTER IS GOING TO DIE

feeling this post

badger was this show's ziggy. just torture to watch

nver saw badger's penis though, so there's that.

Five more episodes to go. My favourite character at the moment is Lydia--I guess this poll pre-dated her. Mike was great for a while; he became a little mannered toward the end. Excepting his time in recovery, Hank is often my favourite. Gustav, Badger, and Saul, of course. Skyler's amazing at times, and Marie has her moments too. I like Walt Jr. a lot.

I wish I had someone at work I could call Gomey.

Jane says, "I'm going away to Spain
When I get my money saved
I'm gonna start tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow
I'm gonna kick tomorrow."

Badger and Skinny Pete are a bit like BB’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern- it’s a bit odd having them spit up as they mostly show up as a team.

I think it was Jane who spit up, seconds before she died.

Surprised Gale got no votes here--one of the most intriguing characters I can think of from any series.

I no doubt mentioned this already in one of the BB threads, but the ending to S3/E12--Jesse buying meth off the kid who shot Combo, being told to "Bounce" by him (just like Combo had said to the kid), and then Jesse walking away enraged and staring straight ahead--was one the best.

S3/E11 that should read. S3/E12: somehow forgot crash, bang, "Run."

Read something that called the S3 finale one of the greatest cliffhangers ever. Great finish, but is it a cliffhanger? What are we left wondering?

Quaint reminder of the internet circa 2008 that kills me every time: Skyler using Wikipedia to read up on money laundering, no big deal.

The scene where Skylar tries to get Walt to rehearse the gambling story they're going to tell Hank and Marie is one the series' funniest, I think--Gunn treating it like they're gathered around a table for a full-cast read-through ("You should look down at the ground right here"), Cranston's droll mockery.

Okay: Sky-ler.

There's an early episode where Walt and Jessie meet up in a supermarket, pretending to browse as they discuss plans; positive this is an homage to Double Indemnity. I also wonder if Skyler's great episode-closing "Someone has to protect this family from the man who protects this family" is an homage to Sydney Greenstreet's "I'm a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk" from The Maltese Falcon.

Hank methodically laying out for Gomey and Merkert how Gale's murder traces back to Fring at the end of S4/E7: masterful.

There was a screen-ad for this at the movie I went to tonight:

Immediately thought of Hank's exasperation with Marie when she kept calling all the minerals he was collecting rocks.
