Breaking Bad

with Gus dead i'm not sure what Season 5's plot going to be. yeah Mike's still around but his character is more of a clean-up guy for Gus. maybe there will be a storyline on how Gus started with the drug trade & how his relationship with his partner (who was shot by Hector) started. or maybe a new player in the drug cartel will surface.

[WahWahWah]

^^ haha baka si Walt at Jesse ang magiging kingpin. To me, okay na yung napakitang back story ni Gus.

What I'm trying to say is that nung si Victor ang nagtry magluto, andaming sinabi ni Walt na reasons kung bakit hindi siya pwedeng maging cook. For example, pag nagwinter na, at may mga factors na kailangan iadjust chemistry-wise, Victor wouldn't know what to do then. Which applies to Jesse, too, since wala naman siyang alam din sa chemistry. So parang malabo di ba?

i think Victor's failure to stop Jessie from killing Gale also was another reason why Gus killed him

Yup, tingin ko din. Victor failed to kill Jesse and someone spotted him in Gale's apartment too. Loved that first ep of season 4. Aaron Paul was incredible, Jesse almost had no dialogue.

Malaki nga sigurong chance ni Giancarlo Esposito manalo ng Emmy for his role as Gus. Though I think supporting category is usually tighter than the main actor categories?

hehe, katuwa naman ang twitter ni Tio.

You have to try this, I was really hesitant in watching it before..but because of the Emmy awards it gathered last year made me curious and they really deserve it..but it might still be an acquired taste though..I'm a period film lover (Victorian,Elizabethan setting) so this is really a treat, but the story plots are well written - witty and funny even at times. I'm also a BB fan..can't wait for the next season to start/

[WahWahWah]

^^^ Yup, I'm planning on watching this kahit period piece pala. I think I'll like this because my favorite romance novel genre is Regency. But I couldn't get into Games of Thrones, Spartacus, Borgias, Tudors. I think I only like certain time periods

LOL Storage wars and homeland above Breaking bad talk about lousy Article...

Somebody need a shot on the Face Breaking bad is the best out there top 3 (among the Wire and Sopranos) in term of writing and execution

[WahWahWah]

^^ Haha, I think Wire and Sopranos were not considered 2011? Hindi rin ako nag agree diyan sa Washington Post list na yan. 'Storage Wars'? They lost their credibility there.

[greaver]

Gus dead, Cartel Gone pero may final season pa?

Jesse vs Walt?

Will Jesse find out that Walt did poison Brock?

Or Walt getting caught by Hank for the finale ending?

Ayos sana kung Season 4 yung final season.

[WahWahWah]

^^ Walt isn't 'Scarface' yet so hindi pa tapos 16 episodes na lang daw for the last season.

Lauree, I started watching Downton Abbey na. Hindi pala siya REgency period. Tama ka, it is so good.
