Herc’s Seen Sunday's First New BREAKING BAD Since May!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
See a shot to make Andy Samberg proud:
I am – Hercules!!
Breaking Bad 3.1 FAQ
What’s it called?
“No Mas.”
Who’s responsible?
Directed by series star Bryan Cranston from a teleplay by series mastermind Vince Gilligan.
What says AMC?
“Walt deals with the aftermath of the plane crash; Jesse comes to a realization about himself; Skyler considers her next move.”
What was the crash’s death toll?
167.
Is Jesse’s realization about himself that he’s a grade-A fuckup?
Not precisely. I will say it’s almost like Aaron Paul is playing a different character this season.
Does the hot dead junkie landlord’s father (the guy who played Q on “Star Trek”) come after Jesse and/or Walter?
Not this week. The authorities take him away shortly after the crash.
Does Skylar make “her next move” this week?
She does!
What else is AMC not telling us?
Get ready for crawling! And a creepy disembodied eye that follows Walt around this season.
What’s doing with Jesse?
He spends the bulk of the episode in rehab.
How does the episode begin?
Strangely. With a Mexican mesa and a dog.
That's all you got?
There may be a bit more on 3.1 and a lot more on 3.2 over on Evil Herc's Spoiler page.
What’s great?
The bald men in suits (not Walt and Hank). Walter’s students. The tale of July 18, 1992. Los Pollos Hermanos. “No. How? What?”
What’s not so great?
“Better Call” Saul Goodman stays offscreen until 3.2’s first act.
Do you have upcoming titles?
3.1 No Mas
3.2 Caballo Sin Nombre
3.3 IFT
3.4 Green Light
3.5 Mas
3.6 Sunset
How does tonight’s end, spoiler-boy?
“What the hell’s going on in there?”
10 p.m. Sunday. AMC.

can't wait
-
the best show on television right now is coming back tonight
-
... for JaredP
-
Hope it doesn't disappoint
-
What with Lost, the recent Venture Brothers run and the upcoming final season of Saving Grace, TV is great these days. Count in Flashforward, Fringe and V and I'm entertained to death.
-
wanna fill us in, Herc?in other news, I'm SO damn excited for this show to be back!
-
Watching the best of marathon has got me back into the groove...
-
I love Mad Men to death, but I KNOW Breaking Bad's third season is going to knock it out of the park. Odenkirk had this to say about season three: "I absolutely never could have predicted where Walt is by the end of the season"

Still think one of the best pieces of writing I've seen...
by danielkurland
is the idea that Walt's daughter's birth coincides with his biggest drug deal. This is just perfect writing. Can't wait to see what is being done with Jesse, I just hope him in rehab isn't going to change him too drastically.
-
like others have said, mad men gives me one form of buzz, but breaking bad is sick. everything is perfect with it.
-
and I'm not saying nothing ever happens, as that certainly isn't the case. But I just know a TON more is going to be happening on Breaking Bad.
-
A couple years ago, when I had Comcast, I could wait until the the day after the show first aired and actually get it in HD with On Demand. Now that I have DirecTV, which has AMC HD, I'm not sure I'll even get it in HD. Why the hell doesn't AMC broadcast this show in HD????
-
AMCs masterpiece of the decade is BACK!!! :)
-
I mean, how could you not love a show bout a dude who goes from educator of youth to a criminal-y, murderin-y, cheatin, overlord of the crystal meth, crank, glass, speed, ice, batu, chalk, shabu, zip slinging underworld?
I mean, c'mon man, it is an American tale...
I lurv the lurv of shows that glorify evil. Show it ok and allll-right to kill hard workin law enforcement officers ..I mean who here don't?
Herc. Well, that is just cause the drug dealers don't have national socialized health care... ya know.. cause if they did.. there never would be any crime.
I'm with Herc. I fully agree. We all need a stronger centralized government to protect us and provide for us. Tell us what for. Take from the..
Ahhh..what the hell now.. Hooooray! crank! Hooooooray! Shows about misunderstood fed-killin crank dealers! Hoooooray for National Soci..
Ah, what the helll.. Gots to give Herc thumbs up for at least makin an effort.. ya know, makin effort to post something about this evil wee show.
Once. He used to make an effort for LOST.
Once. -
Loved him on Malcolm in the middle for his insanity, (Which would explain Malcolm and his brothers behavior, Daddy was nuts).
As Walter White he scares the shit out me. High school chemistry teacher turned crystal meth dealer-- and enforcer? WTF?
Can't wait to see what happens next -
I have cable (I know, I suck) and AMC HD. The BB marathon yesterday was in HD, so this new one will most likely be. I've never seen this show but I did order seasons 1 and 2 on Blu-Ray, so I'm going to DVR these new episodes until I can catch up. It looks like a great show.
-
Gave me the chills and the way that scene played out.......wow.
-
Nice nod to the air traffic controller's prior role.
-
Hate to break it to you but directv doesn't offer AMC in HD. Just checked on directv's employee wikipedia to make sure.
-
Brilliantly well written and sublimely acted. Best of all, they went in with an end goal, and an outline of roughly 50 episodes.I just can't get enough.
-
You make those of us who aren't drinking the kool-aid look bad. Also, ALL drugs should be legal. Whatever a grown-ass adult chooses to put in his/her body is their own damn choice. If drugs were legal, there would be no drug-dealers. There would be no drug-related murders. The Feds could concentrate on things worth concentrating on. The taxes generated from the sale of drugs could wipe out the deficit and pay for Obama's communist plots. Zing!
-
I just double-checked DirecTV's Web site, and it doesn't offer AMC HD. I think that could possibly be the first time I HAVEN'T gotten something in HD on DirecTV, which usually has EVERYTHING in HD. But what a disappointment that is, because "Breaking Bad" is my favorite show on TV at the moment.
-
That shot of the two cool guys walking away from the explosion without looking back at it. You know, cuz "cool guys don't look at explosions."
-
i've been counting the days until the premiere, its been a long week. can't wait.
-
"Whatever a grown-ass adult chooses to put in his/her body is their own damn choice."
Of course you know that is bullshit.. well anyone with half a brain.. and, Ok. Let me shoot down your first childy come-back before the next. "But. But. Alcohol!! Look at Alcohol!! ..see what that does.. no one dies from ..blah blah blah.. Why is one legal and not the other!!! blah. blah. blah. WHAT'S the Difference!?!?"
I'm 6'3" 219 lbs.. I can drink a beer with a cheeseburger and not be impaired.. I can drink 2 shots of Tequila and not even feel it.
I can drink a glass of White with some fish or some Red with some ..I don't know.. antelope.. and I am none the worse for wear.
I am still functional.. I can kick a door down and save a child.
You smoke a joint for one reason and one reason only. To get high. I make no moral judgment. But there it is. That is the fact. Jack. You don't smoke a spliff like an after dinner mint ..clear your palette.. You pull a pinger, hit the pipe, suck the bong for one and only one reason only... to get high; to self-medicate. And there is no scenario that does not include impairment. And weed is the mildest form of the funky. Hey, by all means let's make crack, coke, smack, crank.. all of it legal. tax it. Solve allll the problems. Cause, going back to the first counter-argument, we alll know how well, and beneficial, it is for any Joe to go and get a fifth of vodka right? What the world needs now, is for everyone to be able to hit the drug store and bag an 8. On the way home. Or. On the way to work. No worries there. right?
Jeeebus Christy, the specious arguments drug users make to justify their behavior.. hey, look. no judgment, again ..but just know. I know. TPTB, we are about 4 mmm 5 years away from takin the whole thing down ..I mean, what ya gonna do when TPTB can 'sniff' your car from 2 blocks away or your house from 15,000 feet. I promise you the cartel wars in Mexico.. they are in their final days and they don't even know it. And that is round about relevant to the wonderful of AICN. SciFi! I have seen the scanners and they are a comin.
Soon.
And that is that. The wonderful awesome of a technologically empowered expanding 'liberal' central government. Joss Whedon kind of got that right in Firefly.
Two by Two. Hands of Blue. TPTB are comin. We are coming. Hide your hookah and head for the hills. There will be no place for you here in this new one world order.
A world with out sin.
Ah...what do I know..I'm drunk and high. *snort* -
for real
-
*correction
-
a)What exactly is your point? Your stream-of-conciousness ramblings are hard to fathom.
b)Who or what is TPTB and why should I be worried exactly? -
as soon as it becomes "Breaking Good."
you know it is going to happen. -
I just finished up watching the first 2 seasons on disc. awesome! I was constantly amazed at the limits they pushed for a basic cable series. Not to mention the brilliant tease opens of each episode in season 2. Can't wait for season 3. This also gives me supreme confidence in the upcoming Walking Dead.
-
Matthew Weiner wishes his crap was a fraction as good as Vince Gilligans.

If you think for one second that human beings will stop looking for ways to fuck themselves up, you are truly on drugs yourself. Even if all the cartels in Mexico are disbanded, people in Mexico will still find ways to get high. The only way to prevent drug usage is to do away with ALL drugs and that includes Advil, cough syrup, antacid...everything. Of course, without those drugs we would all walk around with unbearable headaches, awful colds, and massive indegestion. Imagine the irritable states we would all be in then! The population as a whole would start killing each other! So, you see, your perfect, drugless world has a few flaws of its own. Also, if you think someone intoxicated by alcohol is more capable of driving then someone intoxicated by marijuana, again, you have had too many reds AND whites with dinner.
I don't think that Jeebus was implying that we legalize all drugs and then just let people do whatever, whenever. If you can't do your job due to drug addiction, then you should be fired. If you can't drive safely due to intoxication, then you should be arrested. The government can still keep tabs on the people they believe are dangerous, but it's hardly fair to punish those of us who can enjoy drugs AND live responsible lives the same as those who can't. Plus, it doesn't seem like the drug laws have done anything to prevent sociopaths from getting drugs anyway, so I don't see what difference it would make to legalize them all. I'm sure the same idiots who can't control their habits will commit other crimes (they do now) and then they'll be in jail just like always.
-
Where I don't have to look at Bryan Cranston's ugly face for an hour?
-
Real men walk away from explosions. That's the reference.
-
thank you
-
If you take all of last season's titles that had a black and white "flash forward", it spells out 747 Down Over ABQ. It not only alludes to the air traffic controller, but it tells you the whole fucking payoff to the season. It's beautiful. And in terms of locking them down for four more seasons. I'd love it too, but Gilligan has said that the show is only going to last four or five seasons. I HOPE it's five, because knowing this is the second last would be horrible. At least you know it won't be run into the ground though.
-
Season 3 is going to be MUCH darker than what we've already seen.
-
This show owns. And to the poster who said this show would cop out for a happy ending... not happening. Vince Gilligan is one of the darkest and most twisted fuckers around. He loves bitter-sweet endings. Check out his X-Files episode called "Monday." I predict a similar type of ending for Breaking Bad.
-
Man I forgot how amazing Vince Gilligans episodes of The X-Files were.
-
The X-Files episode "Drive."
-
Isn't "Breaking Bad" for people who like "Weeds" but wish Mary Louise Parker had a cock?
It's a nice show but not as good as one of Don Draper's dingleberries. -
New Mexico truly is Tamalewood. They film this series here and many other productions. We are used to having roads and even parks closed due to filming activity. HINT--If you see a notice on light pole, or a sign with just initials on them and an arrow, if you follow the arrow, you'll find the filming location!!
-
I like Weeds, but that's way more of a comedy show and has not gone as dark as BB has, and it's had way more time to develop in that direction. MLP has never strangled somebody to death with a bike lock, and until she does, you can STFU.
-
"I know who I am"....."the bad guy"
Great episode. -
but only until Season 3 got about 5 mins. in and it comes right back to you..Wow ....what a show...what a great cast, and fantastic writing..I wait now for next week and then the one after, etc. etc...previews for next week look incredible..enjoy all..
-
Apparently you don't have a provider that has it. Time Warner Cable has it, and it was glorious!
-
Loved it. So glad its back.
-
Love that they're delving into the cult/religion of Santa Muerte and digging the addition of the two badass cousins from Juarez.
-
Dude Breaking Bad is so much more eloquent and well written than Weeds could ever hope to be.
-
is that he sounds like your easygoing Southern uncle when he speaks. But he, and his writers, put out some fantastically dark, but at times, funny shit, and Cranston, Paul, Gunn, etc., do a fantastic job expressing those characters even without words, and the fantastic DP shoots it beautifully, and so on, and so on.Loved the scene in the gym during the assembly with the contrast between Walt, who has dealt with hardship firsthand, and those who brushed against it indirectly. And the continuing conflict from the first scene with the BBQ, to the last scene in the fast food joint with Gus' new offer. And the eyeball is still kicking around! But they did goof when they had one of the news anchors say that the NTSB will be coming on scene, when we've already seen the van with the big "NTSB" on the roof take the bodies away last season.
-
whatever.
if weeds sustained the writing that breaking bad has, it might be more successful. tried weeds a few times, it tends to be a bore-fest because you don't give two shits about any of the characters. and that is a sign of weak writing. -
"Breaking Good"Pretty sure the directions that the show has taken have buried those fears. I mean, the show is effectively a tragedy.Also, if they order any more than 2 more seasons, I'll be mighty pissed. A concise, 4 or 5 season show would suffice. I mean, at this point in I can't see where they would go wit more than a season or 2: Walt is already well and truly into his journey on the downward-spiral.
-
watched the premiere all the way through and was consistently impressed with how it was shot... and then came here and learned that cranston directed it?? dude is a multi talented fellow. that extremely long shot at the end, when deaths-head-ropas shoots the driver... shots like that are what can turn this already great show into something classic.
-
Universal Healthcare might have saved him his family...
-
i've always wondered if the show will follow a dual arc of walt *and* jesse? where we watch how a good person (walt) can become bad, but also how a bad person (jesse) can be redeemed. i don't think walt's ending will be a happy one, but i still am holding out hope that jesse's going to make it out alright. still wondering if him letting that kid live (back in the episode where the safe falls on the nutball tweaker and kills him) is gonna come back to haunt him....
-
With Walt the Meth King of the South West. His Wife, Brother in Law, Sister In Law, Jesse and Gus all dead.
Walt's son becomes a Meth addict and Walt and Saul Goodman ride off together into the sunset. -
nothing is more boring than a happy ending.
-
to, in theme at least, is Dexter. The "good man" doing "bad things", even if their intentions are good. And much like Dexter, a lot of of the suspense has come from will-he-get-found-out...most importantly by their family and friends/co-workers. But look at what BB has done to start the third season...the cats out of the bag and now we get to see what develops because of it. And I can't wait. Kudos to Gilligan and Cranston. Some excellent direction on display Mr. Cranston.And has Anna Gunn ever looked hotter than in last nights episode?
-
The more I think about it, the more it seems this show is going to end with Walt dead. I really wish Skyler would just fucking listen to WHY he did all of this.
-
, but all those that he loved, cared for, and got himself into this shithole of meth and gangsters for...dead. And hows this for a final image..Walt and Jesse squaring off at each other, pistols pointed at each others head...cut to BLACK...sfx: single GUNSHOT.end credit Created by Vince Gilligannow THAT would be the ending the Sopranos wish it would've been...
-
...And i hate Skylar... this bitch thinks it wrong to pay for your own cancer treatment but its ok to sing Happy Birthday slut style to her boss? and someone get that son a speech coach... always stutterin and shit...
-
He does something where he sacrifices his life and ends the meth trade. Like a big meeting in a warehouse with everyone involved, and he blows it up.
-
Other than Walt, the most important character in BB (not the most interesting, mind you). Thank GOD they made her a complex, formidable person, not some self-deluded yenta like Carmela Soprano or (even worse)Rita on Dexter. Everything she has done to this point makes absolutely perfect since in any reality, and this is essential in keeping the show from becoming an enjoyable, but shallow farce. I can see how the younger menfolk may have little use for her, but they're probably watching the wrong show. Im sure fox will hook you up soon enuf. This is a monumentally great show. Change everything and dont change a thing.
-
RJ Mitte, the actor playing Walt's son, has a mild form of cerebral palsy. He amps it up a bit for the role, but c'mon, "stutterin and shit"?
-
We've known some great TV over the past decade, maybe more than any other period of the medium. Yeah, yeah I know subscriptions changed the creative model, but major and minor networks have stepped it up still: we've been spoiled by shows of real calibre. Deadwood, The Shield, The Wire, Mad Men, Damages, Sopranos, BSG, Band of Brothers, Sleeper Cell, Dexter, Lost...and this little fucking gem called Breaking Bad belongs in the pantheon. A perfectly paced, tight, tense opener to S3 reinforces the standard Gilligan and his exceptional crew have set. Those twins don't look too happy...
-
the stuff with the news anchors was, I believe, meant to be flashing back to the moments right after the crash. so mentioning the NTSB makes perfect sense. later, they mention it's been 6 weeks (or 6 months?) since the crash.I think they just had the montage of talking head anchors to show the progression of time and to show that the public knows all about the crash and it's cause. (although of course, not as much as Jesse and Walt know)
-
c'mon English Major!
-
mad men doesnt have anything on this show cranston is so good u
almost cant beleive hes the same guy that played tim watley on
seinfeld -
Seems strange that someone who plays an alcoholic Scottish hipster poet on the internet would take such a hard line straight edge anti drug stance.And I've never known you to troll, but it seems like you've never even seen the series. It's the best written, best filmed, best acted drama on American TV and you object on the basis of the subject matter it deals with? There's no way Breaking Bad takes a light hearted, glamorous or approving approach to being a crystal methamphetamine manufacturer (not dealer). It's very dark and tragic.My attitude is that they should legalize the soft or natural psychedelics: cannibis, hashish, peyote, mushrooms, Hawaiian Baby Wood Rose Tree Seeds, Bufo Toad Sweat, etc. I advise avoiding the white powders, heroin and cocaine and lump crack and meth in with the "bad drugs".When I ran for president in '96 part of my platform was to legalize marijuana, strictly regulate it (try to keep it away from minors and off the streets the same as alcohol) and then TAX THE FUCK OUT OF IT and raise the taxes on alcohol, tobacco and all non-nutritional snack foods while we're at it.Really MacF, have you ever actually seen Breaking Bad? Because if you're looking for a series about remorseless killers and sinners being depicted as the good guys, I have a series set on an Island that I think you'd be interested in.
-
This shit... wow.
What a show. Can't wait to see where this is going. -
The best on TV. His Walt White is acted so sublimely that it basically puts everything else to shame. And Cranston deserves the accolades, too - he was outstanding on Malcolm in the Middle, but it seemed to me that he got less hype because of Jane Kaczmarek (sp?)
