Walt emerges from his evil-cocoon a beautiful, evil butterfly

Just when you finally felt happy for Walt, they went ahead and did THIS. The Breaking Bad Season 4 finale begins right where last week’s episode left off. After Gus’s instincts told him not to get in his car, Walt hurries across the street to retrieve the bomb from under the car’s bumper. Then he [...]

The simplest solution is usually the right one. Apparently Walt and Jesse didn’t get the memo.

None of that “multiple storylines” bullshit THIS week. They only got one and it’s more than enough. Last week, the doomsday scenario finally happened when Gus decided it was time to kill Hank, threatening to kill Walt’s entire family if Walt tried to interfere. In response, Walt tried to smuggle the wife and kids out [...]

You know that thing where Walt is cooking meth to support his family? Yeah, not really working any more.

Picking up where we left off last week, Gus, Mike, and Jesse are in quite a pickle. Gus’s power-play to kill off the entire leadership of the Juarez Cartel has been a success, but now he’s full of poison and Mike’s full of bullets. It’s up to Jesse to get them out of Cartel country [...]

Breaking Bad turns into a Warren Zevon song

You can’t un-cook your books, Ted.

We open the week with a closeup of a glasses frame sitting on a floor next to Walt’s shoe. A couple drops of blood fall next to the glasses. Then Walt’s hand pops into frame to pick the glasses up and the lens pops out of them. Uh-oh. More on that later. The first story [...]

It’s just like Mitch Albom’s classic, but with more meth and murder

One of the fun things about Breaking Bad is that two of the biggest characters, Walt and Gus, live lives that suggest they have fascinating backstories, but we don’t know those are. Well, this week a pretty big chunk of Gus’s backstory gets filled in. That’s pretty much all I need for an intro, don’t [...]

Donuts, a tete-a-tete, and dog murder

Happy Monday, Breaking Bad-ites. Here’s the minicap for Season 4 Episode 7, which was called “Problem Dog”. So far Season 4′s been mostly “the gang deals with the emotional consequences of the assorted shit they’ve done”. This week is much the same, but we do have a little fun and suspense injected in. It’s also [...]

…Walt will be offended three times.

Hey guys. Breaking Bad, Week 6 is here. Let’s get into the short version… The week starts, once again, inside a refrigerated Los Pollos truck. Like a couple episodes ago, the truck’s full of buckets of Los Pollos batter, and hidden inside those are the meth supply. But this time, instead of Mike protecting the [...]

Just tweak Walt and Jesse’s father issues and they’ll do whatever you want.

The week opens with Walt speeding through traffic. He’s trying to figure out what the hell happened to Jesse. Right now he’s barking orders to Saul over the phone, but his voice is inaudible over the din of the traffic and the city. Then, he calls Skyler…to tell her he’s thinking about her. I’m done [...]
