lightofdayeWell I was finished with it a while a go. After I handed in my report, I had only season 5 to go. And since then I've gone back to Season 4 and listen to the audio commentaries for it and Season 5.
Strange to say, I've not become as enamoured of it as some others have, but I do still feel the urge to go back and start again at Season 1. And Season 5 was particularly compelling. I as only watching say an episode or day or two but the last few for each half season ended up being marathoned anyway.
Now Ozmandias is supposed to be the most ridiculously awesome best episode of TV ever. But I don't know, I knew it was coming but Hank's death sort of killed the show a bit for me. It does sort of lend Walt back to becoming a bit more sympathetic but... eh. Poor Hank. Poor, poor Marie.
Damn, you Jesse Pinkman wussing out of the Wire tap plan. (That's not fair to Jesse, Aaron Paul does an amazing job and its not hard to feel his reasoning and paranoia in that scene)
Just thinking random BrBa thoughts here but one scene I never commented on but found fascinating was the opening to, I think the last episode of S3 where they show a younger Walt and Skyer buying their house, and there Walk seems successful, happy and ambitious. He's got a nice car and a good job apparently. So its not just that he flounced out of Grey Matter. He's had other prospects that he somehow ruined. So it doesn't seem to me that ego was always Walt's flaw like it was in the show, there has to be some element of self-sabotage going on.
