Too much thought.
Tod is a sociopath and would be a serial killer if inspired the right way.
one of the white power guys had an aa12 semiauto drumfed shotgun. that’s the first guy who started firing. that they have military gear not available to the public is an interesting point to note.
How can any one watch this vile crap?
Maybe?
I can.
He has a very odd ‘stage presence’ as an actor. You would probably not recognize this guy on the street.
Almost like when they added that long hair hippy guy on “That 70’s show” who fit in like a pair of sneakers on a tuxedo
Or the lame-o dog they tried to add to itchy-and scratchy. but then they had a spaceship take him to his “home planet” to get rid of him.
no. not a serial killer. you’re talking about someone who gets off on killing. todd’s mentality is just someone without a consicence and just dealing with ‘the sh1t’ that just happens. he’s not fixated on killing and getting off on it, he’s genuinely focused on being a better chemist, helping those he respects and admires as role’models, he has no God complex and doesn’t think he’s smarter/better’than anyone, doesn’t regard others as mere playthings.
they could have written him that’way but that’s not the character he is.
Says plenty about you.
Suspense, drama, and sharp writing well acted.
I don’t know
:)
The show and cast have done an amazing job of character progressions throughout five seasons.
i can tell you haven’t watched it. it’s a bigger story than the simple one’sentence decription of the show. it’s probably’the most realistic in terms’of’portraying characters, of a show i have ever seen. the characters are real and relatable. the storyline, given the characters own strengths and weaknesses, is plausible and believable. not choices i would make, but i can see’these people making them given their backgrounds and their own character. not supporting them, just saying i can see how they wind up doing what they do.
Because it’s one hour a week where we can watch something that repels skirt wearing prudess with big asses.
What does that mean?
It is a seedy, sleazy and disturbing show, but wow, what acting and what great writing.
I am not a meth user, nor partake in the drug trade, but I like Breaking Bad very much.
I am also a die-hard Redskins fan, but appreciate other talented players in the NFL, even (reluctantly) Dallas Cowboys players.
Roger that.
Too many tv shows have one-dimensional characters that don’t evolve or change over the duration of the series. Just the same old same old until the show limps to a finale.
Not so with BB. Dynamic characters, expert acting, complex scripts, and dozens upon dozens of “NO FRIGGIN WAY!” moments.
I’ve not enjoyed a program like this since The Shield.
At the start of this series, I had absolutely no wish to watch this show. The subject matter just turned me off. But, people I knew were watching it, and they kept telling me what a good show it was. I kept reading critics saying that it might be the best drama ever made. Now, I'm not a big fan of critics, but when they are fairly unanimous in their opinions, I think, maybe I should try it.
Well, Netflix had the first season available, hubby and I were bored, we tried the first season with the knowledge that if we didn't like it, we could just stop watching.
It was mesmerizing. You get very caught up in the story and the characters. Well written piece. The writer/producer said he sold it as Mr. Chips turns into Scarface. I have commented before that I think it is actually like watching a good person lose their soul. It is sad, it is painful, it is impossible to look away.
So, I understand why you would not think you would want to watch this; but, it really draws you in. Now, I don't understand people who are still rooting for Walt to "get away with it". Walt has turned into a horrible person. He has lost all humanity. And, therein, may lie a lesson for all of us. Even the most bland of people, has the capacity for great evil if put into a situation that will pull it out of him/her.
There is good. There is evil. This shows what happens to a good man, who is dealt a bad hand, and then becomes a very bad person. Someone who "breaks bad".
So, I guess I can understand your use of the word "vile"; but, this is a well written and terrificaly acted drama, so it is not "crap".
Definitely some spectacular writing and perfect casting.
He makes a good employee. Loyal, meticulous, and committed to doing what his employers need done.
It’s subtle, but I enjoy how he refers to his ‘elders’ as Mr. or Mrs. instead of using causal first names.
Bttt
