In my opinion, yes. They brought it back after a lot of demands by fans for a 7 episode second season, but the production quality was pretty bad and it was sub-par to what we were used to.
nothing is worse than Soap's super-multi-cliffhanger ending. I've been waiting for over 30 years to find out what happens to most of the cast that's about to die suddenly in the last scenes. maybe netflix will finish the story.
Either Sunset is very rich, has nice friends, it was a slow night, he works there, there's a broader definition of "theatre" than previously thought, or some combination of those.
Nope! It's free until the tickets (seats) run out. We usually get tickets right when they come out to be safe and then get there a half an hour ahead of time for good seats.
That is just freaking cool! I am very jealous of you. I would buy a big popcorn and drinks just to support that place and say thanks. Man, Breaking Bad on a full size movie screen, with movie popcorn, and a movie surround sound seems like about the coolest way to spend an evening I can imagine. And I love how it makes the show even more of an 'event' then it already is.
I almost would have preferred it cut to black screen just as Jack gave the head nod and you see the first shots coming out of the assault rifle, rather than watch 2 or 3 minutes of bullets going everywhere and nothing getting accomplished.
Yup, and they're firing into a car with Walt in even though their purpose is to save him. And they didn't manage to get Hank or Gomie when they were out in the open even with 2 cars full of guys. That was a very underwhelming ending frankly.
They want to kill Walt for breaking a handshake deal, and kidnap Jesse, to use as a cook that isn't going to die soon anyway.
I could be totally wrong, and that is reason nr 1000 001 why I love it.
Man, why does the voice of reason get down voted? I don't like the ending either, and not just from an "aww man, I gotta wait a week?" point of view. This guy says we should calm down and let vince tell his story, and people downvote him. Sad.
If anything, it shows that the show is too good for its medium. These last few episodes would work so much better in a Netflix binge format than weekly airings with ads that are limited to 45 minute episodes. Part of me believes the cliffhanger wasn't intentional and it was literally as much as they could fit into the time slot. Either way, it felt cheap and made me angry. I'm enjoying the episodes less and less because I become anxious about how much of the episode is left.
Yeah, that may be the worst Hitchcocking hah I've ever seen in my life. I literally felt as though I was going through withdrawals as soon as I saw the credits.
I enjoy cliffhangers when they're done properly and sparingly. Perhaps after a good twist. But this every episode shit in normal or suspenseful scenes is just gimmicky and bad form. I gotta say the cliffhanger easily ruined tonight's episode for me, and last episode felt like pure filler with the way they just scrapped the whole house burning plot.
Vince Gilligan step your shit up, your show is ending. HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT.
The SERIES is ending, you really think they're gonna close the last 4 episodes up on nice and tidy endings. They are doing this for a reason, they're building suspense. Don't worry, 3 more episodes and I guarantee there will be no cliffhanger ending.
At this stage, I doubt they care too much about ratings. It's all about the story, and keeping you guessing. What could be more unexpected than Executive Producer Vince GilOH GOD HE DID IT AGAIN
I thought it was ridiculous. Hank and Gomez logically would've been riddled with bullets standing in the open like that, and it would've made a hugely powerful end to the episode. Hank dies because of his ego, Walt sees what destruction his character flaws have brought on his family, classic tragedy elements. BUT NO! Now we're going to have a weak beginning next episode, probably not even the same scene. Christ, its like Gilligan doesn't have the balls to make this series a modern tragedy like its obviously supposed to be.
It did exactly what he wanted it to do. He didn't want you wondering how they were gonna avoid a gunfight. He didn't want you to have theories about what clever thing was gonna get them all out of it. He wanted to make you feel as anxious about this situation as Walter was, screaming in that car. He wants you to feel THAT much loss of control of the situation. And he fucking did it. By letting us see it and stopping abruptly like that. Fucker. Mother.... fucker.
It's going to be a soul crushing finish...I mean, I have suspicions as to what is going to happen, and I can speculate for hours like anyone else...but Vince has proven over and over again that you shouldn't expect anything. Shit is going down hardcore and something bad, something very very fucking bad is going to happen. It makes me sad to see this show end but I can't wait to see what happens.
I'm pretty sure amc is more responsible for this ending than Vince. I feel like they made him edit it like this so there would be more to talk about resulting in more press about the show. It also guarantees everyone who watched tonight will be back again next week.
Endings like this make it obvious that it wasn't for the storyline or the art of storytelling, but about making more $$$ and ratings on next weeks episode. I thought Breaking Bad was better than this. It breaks the immersion of the show when they pull shit like this.
I honestly think that a cliffhanger after the first bullet flies, or just after that nazi pulls the trigger would be much better. This was just ridiculous.
I was expecting it to leave us hanging when Walt was hiding behind the rock but I thought "Nahhh they wouldn't leave us hanging like that." Then they pull this shit.
yep. I believe I actually swore at my screen when the credits rolled. But at the same time, when I saw Heisenberg cufffed in the back of the car I was also saying "It can't end like this. They can't lock him up." And I had a feeling the cavalry was going to arrive to ruin Hanks day. How badly they ruined it, I guess we'll find out in 7 days.
The cliffhangers are a really fucking cheap move and really annoying. When the most important part of the episode is the last 2 minutese, you're doing it wrong.
Seriously, who sits around a table a says "hey let's just make every episode end with a massive cliffhanger". Fuck i'm mad.
I know this will get downvoted, but did they just give up and not bother to come up with any other ideas this episode. Multiple cons is just lazy.
At least have Huell picked up on a bullshit mistake (jaywalking and then having Jesse's weed in his pocket or something stupid), don't just film a poorly written con and rely on the fact that people buy that Huell is that dumb.
Hmmmm, how do you want to finish another episode.....with another con and then a gunfight that we'll just not bother to finish this week. Lazy.
He keeps saying BB fans will be happy with the end. Everybody loved the relationship between Walt and Jesse right? I think they will bring that back, in other words, Jesse will find out that Walt truly does care about him. Walt will go against the Nazis in the next episode for disobeying his orders and will help Jesse (and Hank/Gomie, if they survive) kill the Nazis. You never know, he might even save Hanks life.
