The only other time we've seen anything that overtly sexual was Skyler singing "Happy Birthday" to Ted

Oh I dunno...I recall a few scenes with Walt and Skyler early on that were pretty "overt". Just as he as discovering his bad side and getting a bit of a turn on from it.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

did you notice he wound up drinking from lydia’s mug as she drove away?

I saw the act of Todd deliberately drinking from the cup on the site of Lydia's lipstick stain as she drove away as highly erotic.

There has been no gratuitous sex in BB, which I find refreshing. If you want to see porn google it. It no longer needs to be in mainstream entertainment.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You’re right, I forgot about that, but there was no skin and they are married.

[mmichaels1970]

ok, is Walt a dead man?

Nope...at least not until cancer gets him. I think he's going to die like Michael Corleone....alone with a destroyed (possibly dead) family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Maybe. But if you count all the scenes of Walt in his tightie-whities; that alone can be pretty nauseating.

[mmichaels1970]

You’re right, I forgot about that, but there was no skin and they are married.

Definitely. I find the lack of gratuitous sex refreshing. A series that relies on it's story more than on breasts.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That’s Bryan Cranston’s trademark. He did it in the first episode of Malcom in the Middle.

Walt has turned into a horrible person. He has lost all humanity.

I hate that, too. I hate that I don't like him anymore. I wanted to keep liking him and I wanted him to succeed in providing for his family even if it was due to short-lived criminal activity. It just became more than that to him. That's the part I really hate.

[mmichaels1970]

But if you count all the scenes of Walt in his tightie-whities; that alone can be pretty nauseating.

Even worse....further throw in the scenes of Hal (Malcolm in the Middle) in HIS "tightie-whities" and you really start to wonder about Bryan Cranston.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

His bitterness over ‘wasted talent’ ends up transforming into hubris over the success of his product.

He’s in the Empire Business, and thinks he’s untouchable. Classic story of someone too smart for their own good.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

Eventually. But the flash forward shows him with a full beard and straggly hair...I figured at least 6 to 8 months have passed since he leaves town at whatever end the show is building up to.

His house is ransacked and vandalized, and his neighbor seems genuinely shocked to see him.

What gets me is that in the 5 years that the show’s been on, all of the events take place over only a two-year timespan.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

>>Walt in his tightie-whities<<

lol...the last episode which showed that, I said to my wife - “Millions upon millions of dollars, and he’s still wearing basic Hanes briefs”.

Sort of like Donald Trump...more money than a little bit, and sports a $4 haircut.

[Lazamataz]

Says plenty about you.

PRECISELY. It informs you that I am a sociopathic cold-blooded meth-cooking degenerate sexually promiscuous manipulating non-empathetic deviant who enjoys torturing and killing people.

So, sure you want to piss me off again? :)

[Responsibility2nd]

Really? Just Damn.

I never watched Malcom. Didn’t know Bryan was a tightie-whitie kind of guy.

lolol. You remember back in - I believe it was the second season when Walt when into that “fugue state” and he went all butt naked into that supermarket? lolol

There was a pretty good “moon shot” there.

(ugh. Pass the brain bleach.)

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

How can any one watch this vile crap?

Why read a thread about 'vile crap', then go to the trouble to post a comment?

[FredZarguna]

Two words about Low Winter Sun: Tooooooooooooooo Slooooooooooooow.

[Mr. K]

it WAS quite a compelling agument, wasn;t it?

I guess we should only read about puppies and rainbows.

If anything this show has scared my kids out of any consideration of hanging around with anyone in this lifestyle

[cripplecreek]

Even worse....further throw in the scenes of Hal (Malcolm in the Middle) in HIS "tightie-whities" and you really start to wonder about Bryan Cranston.

I think I'd like to take a look at Cranston's bank account before judging.

[Mr. K]

I think Todd is going to try something (bad) with Lydia before it is all over

[rodguy911]

Its done well bad but good.
