Breaking Bad News – Friday 08/19/11 Edition

A week ago, TeeFury had a sweet Breaking Bad t-shirt, but alas, you can only buy them the one day, and then they are gone forever.  By the time I’d heard of it, it was already gone.  Or was it?  A redditor did some research and found the original artist, still selling them (albeit at…

Breaking Bad News – Thursday 08/18/11 Edition

Good morning!  Er, I mean afternoon.  Sorry about the tardiness of my post.  My boss has this crazy idea where I have to do things for him, and it pushed my lunch hour waaay late today.  I’d blow him off, but then he’d slit my network engineers throat with a mechanical pencil, just to send…

Breaking Bad News – Wednesday 08/17/11 Edition

Well, it’s going to be a short update today.  The only real news of note that I have is the latest “Powerless Ranking” from Grantland.  Money quote:  “Walt is so ready to die that he makes Jesse look not ready to die.”  Heh.  This has me thinking, Walt is so far just getting jerked around…

Breaking Bad News – Tuesday 08/16/11 Edition

Last night we got the podcast for Episode 405, “Shotgun”, up at about 11pm EST.  So if you missed it, check it out!  It was a bit different, usually Jim runs the cast and I just mouth off here and there, but due to a technical problem, Jim lost his show notes, so we had to use…

405 – Shotgun

Moving on to the recap, we discuss Aztec badassery, Walt’s good vibrations, Jesse making good use of keys, Hank getting out, right before he gets pulled back in, the Incurable Cough of Death rearing it’s ugly, tuberculous head, knocking boots at the Casablanca, Tuvok’s mastery of the forklift, the least subtle assassination attempt of all time, and Walt’s overweening arrogance.

Breaking Bad News – Monday 08/15/11 Edition

First things first, we can put behind us the bickering between Sony and AMC, because Breaking Bad has been renewed for a fifth and most importantly final season.  The big news is that it consists of sixteen episodes, which is basically a season and a third, on average.  The cynic in me wonders what in…

A.Ron’s Breaking Bad Instant Review – “Shotgun” – 405

Looking for Jim’s take? This was a great episode.  Jim’s raving about it, which is okay, although I’m not like that about it.  I think what I admired most was the pacing.  Lots of good acting work and letting the audience draw conclusions, with a nice action payoff. The opening shot was reminicent of the…

Breaking Bad News – Friday 08/12/11 Edition

Light news today, like most Fridays.  I’ll definitely be expanding on my essay this weekend on where Gus, Walt, and Hank are heading this weekend; like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter if you want to know when it hits.  Can’t wait for this week’s episode to get here, because it looks like…

Breaking Bad News, Thursday 08/11/11 Edition

If you missed it, I wrote a little essay yesterday about where I see Walt, Hank, and Gus going. I’ve got some feedback that I’ll try to work into a part two / refinement sometime over the weekend. Some good news about the deal between Sony and AMC for the fifth season of Breaking Bad,…

Breaking Bad News, Wednesday 08/10/11 Edition

Actually, I couldn’t find any real news today.  I mean sure, there are endless recaps and rehashing of the same old stuff, but nothing really genuinely new.  If you want to have a look, be my guest.  In lieu of rehashes, I did some thinking and wrote an essay that covers some realizations I’ve had about Gus,…
