Question of the week is the same as last time since 2023 has barely started.
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul currently and waiting for The Mandalorian season 3
Oh I loved better call saul, and I think it’s a better show than breaking bad. Mandalorian was the first star wars related content I’ve really enjoyed in a very long time.
The Mandalorian is only good Star Wars from Disney along with Obi Wan Kenobi series and Rogue One, still haven’t watched Andor.
I heard good things about Andor from a friend whose taste I trust. I genuinely liked mandalorian; I went into it thinking it would be like some of the other star wars content that just seems like churned out for the sake of it
yall oughta get on that Andor ride, it’s fucking great and actually more coherent and based than anything disney-canon ever produced
it’s on my list
It’s on my list
Pog. I’m currently watching The Bad Batch.
Are Star Wars animated shows really good? I always hear that they are but idk still.
The Clone Wars series both 2003 and 2008 (you can watch the movie if you want it’s mainly an intro to new characters while the new writers showing you the gist through a simple story) were literally the best pieces the franchise produced
Both at the same time?
Yes, first time I watched BB and El Camino then BCS, now chronologically.
Ah that makes sense. I’ve seen BB and El Camino more than once too idk why that didn’t cross my mind. Who’s your favorite character and your favorite arc or season
That’s really hard question, since literally every main character from BB seasons 1-4 except Skyler is my favorite, but if I have to choose, I would say either Waltuh, Saul or Jesse, Jesse has best arc hands down. Best BB season either 2 or 3, best BCS season 5.
I feel like I’m the only one who didn’t dislike Skyler some days. She was far better than her sister imo. I gotta give it to season 4. Jesse’s depression and improvement, Walt under diamond making pressure, Skyler trying to hold everything together while being fastened by paperclips and string herself, Hank getting humbled, Gus on top of the world, Saul being the dialing back the persona and trying to help out the duo, Mike was… there… shot some people i guess, Huell’s magic carpet trick for Ted with a season long build-up to the biggest crescendo seen on TV. Too good .Season 3 was absolutely the wildest. So many twists and turns. I have like 5 “OH shit” moments glued to my brain. Yet somehow the bottle episide was my favorite lol. I need to finish BCS so bad I haven’t finished season 2 yet. Personally more of a Jesse Hank or Skyler guy myself depends on the day. Usually a deciding factor is stumbling upon a Dean Norris Cameo but hey I’m only human what can I say? By arc I was thinking story not character whoops. Jesse got the ending he deserved truly.
Marie was at least interesting and very supportive imo, Skyler was annoying 24/7. Agree, season 3 was an experience first time watching, I also love Hank the whole time from start except that one time with Jesse, in one second he’s the biggest clown around and in other he’s badass who takes on cartel members unarmed. Jesse def got right ending, his family was awful to him whole time for no reason even after he got off drugs, one of the best parts was when he brought the house back lol.
Skyler was literally the only reasonable person in the show lmao I feel like we needed her to have the show feel real. She was also abused and gaslit to hell and back and had a wedge drove between her and Jr. by Walt because she was reasonably worried about a new Charger. And yknow he implied that he had the capacity to kill her in the “I am the danger” scene. She didn’t deserve any of this but after she came around she did but everything she could to help… until season 5 but goddamn I’m not blaming her. Marie isn’t like a bad person, I just know too many people like her. And all the fucking purple Jesus christ we get it we know you think you’re royalty. I’m pretty sure her coffee maker is purple
Even before that, she was always looking just after herself, was angry that Walt didn’t tell about every single detail in his life even before drugs, while he was always supportive, then she smokes and drinks while pregnant and then smokes right next to baby in room after birth. Walt should have maybe told earlier, but as soon as she finds out she is literally furious about it and removed about it 24/7 even though she gets the part of it, doesn’t let him in his own home with kids even though he was always supportive of them, then you know what happens next and then after all that she comes looking for him because she needs money, WTF…
