#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Coming from a man who's sensitive about certain things in his viewing preference, i find that a bit odd.I'm sensitive to little things like that. You may not find those relevant. But Jesse just happening to be on the curb of the hospital when they bring in the injured Walt etc etc, i notice little plot mechanisms like that. Especially in a show of such excellence as BB.Because it IS an astonishing show, in every single aspect....Why does S4 feel relatively wrapped up, story wise? Werent they sure about S5?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Interesting how Gale insisting to Gus to give this person who made a 99% pure cook another shot is the moment that dictates so many lives and ends of lives in the show.BB is all about people making the wrong choice, if for reasons that seem good at the time.Gus' empire would not have crumbled had he gone for 96% over 99+.

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The other seasons were great, but season 5 is breathtaking. Tip: read the DenofGeek reviews after each episode. They're outstanding, some of the finest and most insightful analysis I've ever read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 How are they with spoilers for future episodes.

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The reviews there only contain spoilers for the episode you have watched. They are excellent pieces. I can't remember which my favourite seasons are from earlier on, but I love the ones where Walt and Jesse still cook in the RV. I love the naivety of it, it feels like an adventure. However, the final season is objectively the finest of the lot. It becomes almost Shakespearean in those last 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Weren't you disappointed with the last episode though? I remember we talked about it you and I.

crocodile 8,013 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 It was only disappointing if you consider the two or three that preceded it. The penultimate is one of my very favourites - if not THE one.Karol Arpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 For me it's a tie between the one you said and the one before it. Which is in no way a slight on the finale, which plays like an epilogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I would have that car. On another note, have you noticed how the show becomes more handsomely shot the further in you get? It's a stunner in places. Btw, Karol's YouTube link is perfectly safe to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Thats an awful looking car!Yeah the show has a subtle, but good visual style which gets a bit better every season.Btw, still no idea why Saul should get his own show.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 One of those moments where BB briefly departs it's fairly realistic style and just goes for cool. It's a brilliant end to a rather fantastic villain.the whole set up is also outstanding. with Walt once again using Jesse to his own advantage.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 that is brilliant actually. The maniacal laughing as his wife gave his money away to the guy she used to sleep with!Love the camerawork on that scene to, the slow zoom out and how the framing looks like Walt is lying dead in a coffin.Also...poor Ted! he was a pretty decent guy and he dies tripping over a rug.

Jay 37,364 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Ah. If that's what he meant then yea of course all those points get attended to in Season 5. This isn't a show where things get brought up then forgotten about, one of the beauties of knowing after Season 4 that they would wrap everything up in 16 more episodes.

nightscape94 965 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 They had a longer order for the final season and broke it up into two 8 episode parts over 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yes, 16.Episodes 1-8 aired in 2012 and episodes 9-16 aired in 2013.It's essentially an 8 episode Season 5 and an 8 episode Season 6 though; It's not like they wrote and shot all 16 and then just broke up their airing; First they planned out, shot, and aired 8, then they planned out, shot, and aired the last 8. It's just weird marketing to call them Season 5A and 5B instead of Season 5 and Season 6. In the end I don't even know why they did it that way. Season 5A ends on a cliffhanger as good as any of the other season cliffhangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 It was pretty intense being a BB fan then. You were never sure how they were going to wrap it all up in a satisfying way in so few a number of episodes.But boy did they pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Totally agreed.Though I remember thinking at the time that the 8 episode season 5A could have easily been expanded to a normal 13 episode season, no problem. There is one point where several months time is covered by a montage, and they could have shown details of that time over a period of a few episodes, and expanded on a few other things to get to a normal season.The final 8 episodes though are pretty perfect the way they are.
