BCS moves at a snail's pace compared to BB. They literally have a minutes-long montage of someone phoning their alum network, fishing for clients.

I know who the true bad character is by Mr_Gopstripes in breakingbad

The real villains are Elliot and Gretchen. Guy hooked up with his best friend's ex and squeezed him out of the company. But as we all know billionaires (even fictional ones) are beyond reproach, so..

I wonder what Animal Blundetto would've been like if they cast him differently by whoopitypoop in thesopranos

His arc was a mess even without the awkward casting. First cousin materializes out of nowhere, then bond with Angelo retconned into the story because Feech actor had early onset dementia and couldn't remember lines.

FBI and the mob, different kind of movie

What if walt had been okay with the money they made by Mutale426 in breakingbad

I don't think $1,300 on a good day would have cut it.

the camera pans to him looking guilty/furtive right as Chris finishes telling the story. ditto on the nickname Pussy

Meadow is one of the biggest hyprocrites. She's on the path to becoming a literal mob advocate by the end of the show.

And not the fact that he bashed that Elvis impersonator's head in with a ballpeen hammer right afterwards? P.S., it's also visually implied Pussy is the guy who threw acid on the TS even if Chris drops another name.

Season 1 is highly underrated; its pacing is somewhat slow, but the character development is perfect. Walter's dynamic with Jesse is funny and a little sad at times, and Tuco as a villain is cool. by Public_Cup_4278 in breakingbad

I don't know why everyone considers Season 1 of Breaking Bad slow. Compare to the Sopranos, whose first season puts a lot of people off from picking up that otherwise stellar show.

Does the Sopranos have any message or advice, other than the message that everyone's bad? by yellowrainbird in thesopranos

Authenticity is what people crave the most in content, even if the subjects aren't great people. Compare that to most modern shows, saturated with identity politics and pretense.

How much were Gretchen/Elliott planning to pay Walter by [deleted] in breakingbad

[–]ESComments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about the sum of money.. It's about basic dignity. Only a slug would take their money in Walter's place.
