515 – Granite State

The penultimate episode turned out to be the calm before the presumed storm of the finale. It featured many scenes of quiet introspection, a character study of two desperate men; one with no choices available to him at all, and the other with a few good choices left but lacking the will to act on any of them, too prideful and stubborn to admit defeat. Not to his lawyer, not to the authorities, not to his family, not to death himself.

Come join us for a discussion of vulgar neo-nazi gang signs, dopey, dead-eyed pieces of shit, the arguable “death” of Heisenberg, grey matters, the plump, full lips gang, Flynn’s righteous anger, and the straw(s) that un-broke the Heisenberg’s back.

515 – “Granite State” – Jim’s Instant Take Review

I think I may have dropped the oh-shit-this-show-makes-me-feel-dirty bomb a week too early.  That idea was ratcheted up this week. All along, we’ve been questioning where to draw the line on Walter White.  When should we jump ship and say “this is an evil man, he deserves what he gets”?  For many, that line was…

515 – “Granite State” – A.Ron’s “Instant Take” Review

Up until tonight, I could see a semi-happy ending to Breaking Bad.  I had to squint maybe, but it was there.  Okay, so what if Walt, Skyler, Hank, Marie, even Walt Jr. end up biting it.  We can always have Jesse and Baby Holly on the run with a barrel full of cash.  I’d take…

515 – Granite State – Instant Take

We had a lot to say about this episode, without talking about the actual episode. Is that weird? It’s just all our thoughts and feelings about this season, and where it’s going, and whether we feel good about it or not. It’s a weird “instant cast” for a weird, slower paced, brutal penultimate episode. I think my last hopes for even a modicum of happy ending died tonight. Can’t wait to see what everybody else thought!
