Breaking bad, you watching it?

I'm watching the 2nd episode of season 2, the one where Tuco kidnaps Walt and Jesse. 

God, Tuco is terrifying.  He's a total psycho.

Oh I envy you and the things you are going to see soon!

I'm watching it a second time.  Haven't you been paying attention to my commentary on the current episodes?

[Bob]

Oh yes, but I still envy you for seeing them again.

Jesse's parents are such total dicks.  I'm glad he gets his revenge on them.

I forgot how hilarious Saul's first appearance was.

Is it just me, or was Marie unbearably annoying before the story arc where Hank got shot?

She still is.

Good stuff.

"I'm the one who knocks"

Good stuff.

Yeah.  The was a real tour de force by Bryan Cranston.  He really seems to be unravelling.  That thing he did to Bogden with the framed dollar bill was a serious dick move.

I don't get how the money laundering is supposed to work though.  Gus pays Walt 15 million dollars a year.  Is the IRS going to believe that a Car Wash makes 15 million in revenue each year?

I just assumed that they would stick all the cash in a convertible and drive in through the car wash.

AMC Renews Breaking Bad for 16 Final Episodes

AMC announced today that "Breaking Bad," the Emmy Award-winning and critically lauded drama series from acclaimed writer/producer/director Vince Gilligan has been renewed for a 16 episode order that will conclude the series. Production on all episodes of the final order will commence in early 2012. The roll-out of the episodes and premiere date schedule has yet to be determined by the network. The announcement was made by Charlie Collier, president of AMC.

"Breaking Bad's" fourth season premiered on Sunday, July 18th to the highest ratings ever for the series. "From the day we heard Vince Gilligan's completely original vision for 'Breaking Bad,' it has been a complete joy to be involved with this show. Watching this story evolve into the complex, compelling, and intense roller coaster ride that it has become has been an incredible creative experience for everyone at AMC. Beyond that, working with Vince, his brilliant cast and crew, and our wonderful partners at Sony has been remarkable in every way. While it is sad to even contemplate the end of this series, we are so happy to have had the chance to go on this ride, and truly look forward to presenting the rest of this amazing story," said Collier.

"It's a funny irony -- I'd hate to know the date of my own last day on earth, but I'm delighted to know what Walter White's will be (episodically speaking). This is a great gift to me and to my wonderful writers. It's knowledge which will allow us to properly build our story to a satisfying conclusion. Now, if we don't manage to pull that off, we've got no one to blame but ourselves," said Vince Gilligan. "'Breaking Bad' has been a dream job these past four years. Working with the best cast and crew in television has no doubt spoiled me for future projects. I'm lucky to get to work with them on sixteen more episodes, and I will always be grateful to both AMC and Sony Television, who from the beginning, believed in our show and supported me creatively and professionally. We have been able to take risks with 'Breaking Bad' which would not have been possible on other networks."

"We've watched 'Breaking Bad' grow over the years with viewers, as championed by the unwavering support of critics and the well deserved accolades Vince and his talented actors have received. We're looking forward to seeing Vince's masterful storytelling come fully to fruition over the course of the series' final episodes," said Zack Van Amburg, President, programming for Sony Pictures Television.

I meant to post that.  I can't wait for it all to be over, to see how it all pans out.  I wonder if Hank will ever find out about Walt.  Or if Gus will ever be killed or thrown in jail.

[Bob]

Wow, I bet AMC hates to lose a show like that......

[Bob]

Oh boy, Hank is on the scent and he has the DEA interested too.

All this is coming to a head soon!

One thing I never understood is that Jesse was under investigation, but Gus still let him work at the laundry.  All the cops would have to do is put a tail on him, and he'd lead them right to Gus.  It's pretty dumb on everyone's part.
