"Breaking Bad" - season four

Jobydrone · October 11, 2011, 07:21:32 PM

Spoilers! Edit that post so our forumites don't have season 4 ruined when they get the DVDs (and they all should day of release)

[spoiler] I think those are all good guesses. There's definitely a huge power vacuum now that Gus and the cartel are gone...there's no way that Walt, with the bulk of his cash gone to Skyler's fling, is going to let someone else take over. His ego is too huge and he's in too deep. We definitely haven't seen the last of Mike. My guess is in season five, we see Mike and Jesse vs. Walt battling for control of the meth trade and by the end they are forced to work together again against some heretofore unseen new common enemy.[/spoiler]

I actually think this would be a perfect place to end the whole series and I had to check on Wiki to see if I remembered another series having been commissioned.

Now, normally, I would be against trying to follow this kind of finale up. But I really do have faith in the writers and producers of this show and I'm 100% confident that they can follow it all up with as much tension and excitement. Walt certainly seems very different now than even half a dozen episodes back!!

I can't decide if I prefer this or dexter!!

On August 14, 2011, AMC announced that Breaking Bad was renewed for a fifth and final season consisting of 16 episodes that may be split over two seasons.-wiki

I think the focus of the last 16 episodes may come down to...

[spoiler]1) Hank's obsession with Fring will continue, maybe focusing on the killing. What about Fring's computer recordings of the lab and all that?? Could lead to uncomfortable family gatherings. I really think that this final season may come down to Hank Vs Walt.

2) Jesse and that poisioning of the kid...can't imagine that won't come up again, and considering how dopey and shortsighted Walt can be, I bet that plant comes into play.

3) MIKE!! He is alive, and they have never shown why he is so loyal to Gus, and man, I wouldn't want to be on his bad side.[/spoiler]

Pure speculation, but this show is so damn good, I'm gonna miss it till next summer.

I think point 1 will definitely feature to some degree. Probably not as the main focus of the show. Probably running alongside Walt's relationships with the rest of the family. In partucular, Skylar.

Not so sure about the second point. We'll either get everything come up including what happened to Jessie's ex girlfriend, or it'll just be allowed to blow over.

Point 3 I believe is on the ball. Mike will definitely feature to some degree.....And which way will Jessie go? He's been through a lot with Walt....but he's also been through some stuff with Mike. And Mike hasn't done half the stuff behind Jessie's back as Walt has. Im agine Jessie's reaction if and when he finds out about some of the stuff Walt did. He'll want him more dead than he did Gus!! I think this is where the show is headed....maybe with Walt starting to act a bit more like the new Gus.

For me, the show started off all about Walt, but as it's played out, I think it is more to do with Jessie. I think he is the main focus of this drama(I don't want to use the word hero)

Picked as one of the best shows of 2011 (and the #1 series by EW). I couldn't agree more!

And yet another show I am so latte to the party but loving! Jamie and I are watching Season 2 on Netflix streaming and we both love it!

So glad you're on the bandwagon Bryan! This show deserves every bit of the praise it's been getting the past few years. Don't read the spoilers! The writing is so good you'll want to enjoy every minute fresh and unspoiled.

Rico · April 11, 2012, 05:22:57 AM

Indeed. One of my favorite shows of the past couple of years. Amazing writing and acting.

I'm not sure what it is with this show, Fran and I watched most of season 1 and it just doesn't do it for us. Maybe I'll have to give it another try.

It also feels very familiar to us being set in Albuquerque, at least the south west scenery. Albuquerque is kind of nasty. I am very suprised Jamie likes it, to be honets. Gives me hope I can still get her to watch The Walking Dead at some point.

I had the same thing happen to me with Walking Dead. Fran usually hates shows like that (and she makes fun of me when IO say it's good we're marathon training for when the zombies come). But I showed her the first episode and she loves it more then I do!

It's coming...yes! The consequences of last season's finale will be very interesting to see unfold.

Rico · June 04, 2012, 03:21:12 PM

Chris did you hear they are going to break up the coming season in two parts? And we won't get the last half until next summer!!!!

ChrisMC · June 04, 2012, 03:28:59 PM

I KNOW! 8 this year and 8 next...I don't mind shorter seasons, the quality is usually much tighter, but these waits are rough. Still, nothing like what the Sopranos used to do to me back in the day. And being the last 16 means that the stakes are so high for all he characters...I'm sure it's going to be very tense...something this show excels in...making me poop my pants!

Bryancd · June 04, 2012, 03:43:44 PM

Any idea when Season 4 will be available on Netflix?

ChrisMC · June 04, 2012, 03:48:59 PM

Well, the DVDs some out tomorrow, so I'm not sure. Possibly right before the season starts.
