That's me finished and I'm glad I stuck with it. It improved as it went on. Id say the episode in season 2 where they are stranded in the desert is where it changed for me. I still wouldn't rank it as high as some people do but it was a good watch and I'm a bit sad it's finished. I've just dived straight into better call Saul and I'm liking that quicker than I did breaking bad.

Glad you stuck with it. What people don’t realise that even though it’s meant to be a drama, there is a lot of comedy there too and superb lines. One of my favourites is from the episode you mentioned - “you’re the one that looks like you just crawled out of a microwave”, and my all time favourite “yo, you ain’t seeing the basement bitch”.

:lol:

Just done my third binge of the 5 seasons, it's still brilliant, my main takeaways were i hated skyler much earlier that I realised, I didn't think it was as much of a slow burner on my third watch as I Did on my first. I also realised I pretty much hated every main character in it, with the exception of Mike, I reckon they were all fannies/c*nt at some point through the series! Walt, Jessie, Walt Jnr, Skyler, hank, Marie, Ted Beneke, Gustavo even say I were all hated at some point but still couldn't take my eyes off it

I'm I the only person who was hooked on Breaking Bad from the 1st episode? I didn't find it slow at all and certainly not boring.

I was the same. It was Episode 2 that I had problems with.

No. Episode one is fantastic. The only episode I didn't really like in the whole thing was "Fly". Even then, it has its moments and was better when I watched it the second time around.

I really enjoyed Fly. The dialog is fucking amazing. Jessie's monologue about his aunt and then Walt talking about the random universe are just perfect. It was slow but it was really important in the grand scheme of things.

It's an interesting question, though. What was the worst episode of Breaking Bad? It's hard to choose because I liked them all but there was an episode in season four, Open House, where it was mostly about B characters and I found that one a little disappointing. It wasn't terrible by any measure. Just wasn't great.

Watched this all the way through for the 4th time i think.

Can see why folk get bored at certain points, my gf chucked it after the fly episode but when she seen clips of season 5 when i was watching it she was asking all sorts of questions. She just won't pick it up where she left off.

He's in his new custom built meth lab and there's a fly in it. He's concerned about contamination and spends majority of the episode chasing after it trying to kill it. Much like me a few times this week with flies in my office. Hate the fuckers. I didn't think it was that bad an episode, maybe a bit boring in terms of action compared to some but still good

This was my favourite scene of the entire show. I had goosebumps when I saw it for the first time. 

 

Yes that's brilliant. I love the slow version of the theme tune playing. Another great scene in the next episode was where he was in the Schwartz house and just pointed at them and the red dots appeared. Brilliant series.

Ah yep, yeah a bit of a filler episode imo.

Not a fan of The Fly at all. Have watched it twice now and was determined to like it the second time as lots of other people told me it was great really, I should give it another chance. 

I still didn't like it. I'm normally a fan of dialogue-heavy bottle episodes. That one just did nothing for me. 

Obviously I'll still watch it again next time I do a rewatch, as skipping an episode would be cheating.
