“BrBa IMO was one of the best written shows in a LONG time.”

Absolutely. It was a three generation show in my family. I found it nice to experience the excitement of waiting for the finale with a couple of my grand kids.

Well said. I suppose I already know the answer; there are probably similarities with my strong desire to post a smackdown when those folks show up (although I try to provide some laughs). Thanks for the encouragement to let it go.
On another BB thread I posted that I tried Mad Men, but never enjoyed it. Others do, including James Lileks ,a person I enjoy and respect. He is a columnist / humorist / writer in the twin cities. As my late father in law used to say, that is why they make chocolate and vanilla.

To: Vinnie
I know what you mean Vinnie, and if you continue you should know it will get worse. Much worse. The meme "what has been seen cannot be unseen" applies here. The show is many things, including that horrible traffic accident that we all slow down to see. I am also convinced that it is accurate in displaying how low we are all capable of sinking. If it is not for you, you may want to consider not watching.
For me the only major characters that remained likable were Jesse and Hank. Hank because he kept his integrity; I don't think there was anything that would cause him to sacrifice it. Jesse, because he kept his conscience. He knew the damage he was causing. His self loathing and suffering piled up with that damage; his conscience was never seared away like Walt's. For me a large part of the character's likability is in the hope for his redemption.

I usually love Ann, but I think she was way off on this one. Trying to assign BB characters to “good guys” and “bad guys”, or “godly” and “ungodly”, is way too simplistic and misses the point of the show. She was especially off the mark in terms of Hank. He was allegorically Captain Ahab, not Jesus.

It’s possible to deal artfully with adultery without being pornographic which is, by definition, bad art.

I tossed her essay up to generate discussion, and it seems to have done that. I get part of your comment - there were no "godly" characters. And there certainly was no allegorical Jesus. I don't think Hank was Ahab either - an allegory of an allegory? I don't see it. However, many of the ideas that she expressed are there.
I don't agree with all of what she wrote. And, at the risk of "AH-HAs!" from legalists, I cannot escape the idea that there is more potential cost associated with watching than passing it up.
Phl 4:8... Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirableif anything is excellent or praiseworthythink about such things.
I wonder if her essay was an effort to justify watching. I can't answer for anyone but me; I have reservations even now that it is done. For my part, I often found myself thinking about scripture and God and man and the degrees of depravity we have been or could be rescued from. Viewing the erosion of Walter White's soul is a sobering lesson. It was also accurately pegged in the end that it was all done to satisfy his own pride.

I watched every episode of “Breaking Bad” from the beginning, and thought it was a good show. I never posted anywhere that I didn’t like the show, but you, being an idiot, assumed the opposite. Then you get snotty with me even though you are the one too stupid to comprehend what I posted. Thanks for showing the world what an obnoxious idiot you are, you pompous dumbass.
To: ozzymandus
Oh, so you liked the show, you just came to the site to be a jerk to those who want to discuss it because
it's a tv show and it's over. My mistake. Most sincere apologies for missing that huge distinction regarding what you were being a jerk about.
What you wrote is self explanatory. So was my reply. Thank you for confirming my suspicion, and also for the laugh! You didn't disappoint.

You've proven you're a moron, and now you've proven you're an argumentative jerk,so we're done here.
To: ozzymandus
If you say so.
Yet another chuckle. It really was.
