Television Breaking Bad

Loved how they worked in Homebrewing into the episode.

I knew as soon as I saw the 3 piece airlock something was up
 
Last night was freaking awesome , this show gets better and better every week. I just dont understand why he didn't rip that knife out of that fiends hand when he was robbing him. Grow some balls buddy.

Yeah but if they bust every random junkie that happens to take advantage of them you just let it fucking go. I don't know, it's been ages since I hustled meth (as in, never ;)) so maybe I don't know the rule of the street but I'd think people who already seemingly barely know what they're doing shouldn't add violence up in the mix. Then again maybe news would get around and everybody'd try to rob them?

lol =) i hear ya tho. and as Psychedelic Gleam said it probably won't go well. but on the flip side walt def changed after the whole tuco thing, guess after treatment and being flat broke he isn't taking no shorts no losses 2nd time around.

what walt did and how he went about it did seem a bit out of character for him. because i think last episode walt had jesse meet him in the convenience store, this one they met way out in the desert to collect money, but he decides to give jesse a gun and drives straight to his house like its casual ? i dunno about that, yea the dea didn't have shit on jesse but they could still have surveillance on him, doubt thats the case but if i were walt or jesse id still be extremely paranoid about being seen together.
 
^ Agreed. I'm also surprised Jesse wasn't all "what are you doing here???". They both seem(ed) extremely careful. Will be quite fun to watch though due to this twist. That, I agree with. :)

Oh, and, re: looking like a bitch

for good measure. ;)
 
Absolutely LOVE the show. Great drama. Great laughs. Great camera work, especially when they make stuff look like a drug trip, etc.

Still, the show really does harp on and promote this "drugs and violence go hand in hand" idea, ya know? First season Walt and Jesse kill Krazy 8 and his cousin. Tuco beats Jesse within an inch of his life and puts him in jail. Start of this season, we find out Tuco beat that one gang member of his to death. Then Gonzo, the fat guy, dies. Then Walt and Jesse get in a fracas with Tuco and Hank ends up killing him. Now the show is spinning towards Jesse taking up guns to "handle" things and protect his turf, etc.

Obviously there is a lot of violence involved with hardcore drugs (which is thanks to the government and making said drugs illegal, but that's another conversation for another day). And obviously it wouldn't be compelling television if everyone had a swell time, got along, and nothing bad happened. Still, I'd like to see some more positive story lines about drugs. Kinda like when Walt and Hank were at the baby shower smoking those Cuban cigars and Walt started talking about the arbitrary nature of drug laws, etc.

It's just everytime I watch the show I'm sitting there thinking how many zombie-fied morons are watching it going "See, honey? Them drugs are bad fer you! Hyuck! Everyone that does drugs or is associated with them is a social degenerate and is violent and liable to murder someone at any time!"

While obviously this show, like many others of the genre, is dramatized and stylized for television, there is a lot of violence in the upper levels of much of the drug trade. When your dealing in a black market with a boatload of cash, violence is just bound to follow you around. Most of us, as casual users with the occasional small-time dealer sprinkled in, are not exposed to the violence that often occurs at the upper levels, but that does not mean it does not exist.

Obviously, as in all cinema/television, these events happen at a much greater frequency than in real life, but they do happen. People like Tuco and Crazy 8 do exist, and they are probably not as far up the line from where you get your drugs from as you would imagine. You are absolutely right in that these crimes occur totally because of the illegality of drugs, and have very little to do with the drugs themselves.

Lol, I don't know that many people who abuse (not just your average users of) hard drugs, but seriously, some of them get really fucking violent when they need a fix, I'd imagine that a drug like meth would definitely expound the problem

Still, It does seem like its gotten even more violent, not preachy though, I think that the message is more along the lines of "Look how drug laws actualize crime" than "look at them gosh dern drugs and tha violence they a causin'"

Great show though, wish I didn't keep on forgetting to watch it
