In what is probably going to be the last Bald Move Breaking Bad podcast ever, we discuss the awesome season three finale that is episode 313, “Full Measure”. So much to talk about, from a back to the beginning’s cold open that has us rethinking what we know about Walt, to Mike planting his flag as an all time great in BrBa history, and the irrevocable moral choices that are going to have impacts that reverberate through the rest of the series. It’s a great way to end things, and if this is your first time through, by all means continue to enjoy our complete coverage of one of the all time great television shows through seasons four and five. I envy you. If, like us, this is your second, third, or millionth time through, I hope you’ve enjoyed our three season retrospective watch. It has been a blast! Bring on season two of Better Call Saul!

A.Ron and Jim near the end of their re-watch of Breaking Bad season 3, with the thrilling episode “Half Measures”. An incredible episode that has you wondering what’s in store for next week’s installment, which is “Full Measure”. We discuss one of the all time great cold opens in BrBa history, “Wendy”, Marie’s motivational, uh, “techniques”, Mike’s shadowy past, and Walt’s Aztek at it’s most badass and heroic. As next episode will be our last Breaking Bad cast ever, we paused in our coverage to allow you guys to have your say about the series as a whole, or whatever is on your mind. Use the links below to get in touch with us, and we’ll see you back next week to say goodbye to Breaking Bad.

Jim and A.Ron look into a fairly polarizing episode of Breaking Bad, episode 310, “The Fly”. Some see it as a slow, ponderous, pointless exercise in budget cutting, while others see a beautiful, rich, thematic character study resting entirely on the performances of Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston.

In this installment of Breaking Bad, episode 213, “ABQ”, AKA, “A.Ron’s Waterloo”,we find really excellent episode that works on so many visceral and emotional levels, but for at least one host, comes completely off the rails in the final 15 minutes. Other than THAT, we discuss the excellent work by Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn, Walt’s endearing qualities, such as they are, John de Lancie’s haunting portrayal of Jane’s father, Gus hiding in plain sight, and one grizzled old fixer dude in Saul Goodman’s employ… I doubt we see much more of him. All this, a smattering of feedback, and the guys get philosophical about season 3 in the spoiler section.

Well friends, it’s time to say our final goodbyes, to shut off the lights, and to head home. Join us for part one of our farewell series as we speculate on the fates of the remaining characters post-series lives, and give recommendations of other shows to try to fill in the void in your television viewing habits now that Breaking Bad has exited stage left. Then we conclude our cast with two interviews, one with Jason from the Nattercast, in which we discuss the “dream” theory regarding “Felina”, whether Vince took it too easy on Walt when all is said and done, and what our hopes for Better Call Saul are. The other interview is with the mysterious figure Dr. Barry Goodman, of Madrigal Electromotive fame. Is he official? What ties does he have with the cast and crew of Breaking Bad? Is he even a doctor? What’s next for Madrigal, and their subsidary, Vamanos Pest Control?

And now we arrive at the end, “Felina”. I had such an awesome time at our Breaking Bad finale party, that it didn’t even sink in until my private rewatchings at home how bittersweet it was. Walt falling dead in the arms of his lover; science, chemistry, even meth, after having finally provided for his family, made peace with his wife, and freed his partner… it was pretty intense. A lot of people, critics and fans, have quibbles about the pacing, the plot, the neatness of it all, but to me, it was a love letter from Vince to us. Like Batman to Gotham city, “Felina” perhaps wasn’t the ending that Walt, and by extension, us, deserved. But it was the ending that we needed. Join us in this episode as we begin our saying good bye to this old friend of ours. We talk ricin, laser pointers, football shaped heads, unrequited love, the futures of the still-living components of the White family and associates, Jack’s obsession with the word “partner”, your feedback, your voicemails, and much much more. But wait! There’s more! Next week we will return for the last scheduled time, to wrap up the cast. We’ll do a final tally of our predictions, we’ll let you crow about yours, and consider anything you want to say about the final season and Breaking Bad as a whole. The Walking Dead is coming up next, and so is the Watching Dead, and wouldn’t you know it, we’re doing a Kickstarter to make our coverage more awesome. Please, please check out our video if nothing else, I’m super proud of the work my partner, good partner, hard working partner, 50/50 partner, Jim did on the it. I can almost promise you’ll laugh.

The penultimate episode turned out to be the calm before the presumed storm of the finale. It featured many scenes of quiet introspection, a character study of two desperate men; one with no choices available to him at all, and the other with a few good choices left but lacking the will to act on any of them, too prideful and stubborn to admit defeat. Not to his lawyer, not to the authorities, not to his family, not to death himself. Come join us for a discussion of vulgar neo-nazi gang signs, dopey, dead-eyed pieces of shit, the arguable “death” of Heisenberg, grey matters, the plump, full lips gang, Flynn’s righteous anger, and the straw(s) that un-broke the Heisenberg’s back.

We had a lot to say about this episode, without talking about the actual episode. Is that weird? It’s just all our thoughts and feelings about this season, and where it’s going, and whether we feel good about it or not. It’s a weird “instant cast” for a weird, slower paced, brutal penultimate episode. I think my last hopes for even a modicum of happy ending died tonight. Can’t wait to see what everybody else thought! Support Bald Move: Amazon | Club Bald Move Leave Us A Review Join the discussion: Email | Forums | Facebook | Twitter Learn more about your ad choices.

Watching this episode took a year off my life, Princess Bride-style. It felt like it lasted 3 weeks long. It was sad, heart-pounding, gut wrenching, and absolutely a stunning hour of television. Find out what our final review was, as we discuss Uncle Jack’s soft spot, Ozymandias references and homages, the curious indifference to reckless driving and bullet holes by the NM State Police, stray dogs, and stealth f-bombs. All this, your feedback, and a very, very light spoiler section as we enter the home stretch of this final season of Breaking Bad.

Hello and welcome to the back half of the final season of Breaking Bad. This week we discuss “To’hajiilee”, where Jesse hits Walt where he really lives, out in the deep desert, with eight figures buried just under foot. Join Jim and A.Ron as they discuss Huell’s waffles, Saul’s fifty, Hank’s gambit, Walt’s surrender, Todd’s creep, snot-yellow meth, neo-nazi marksmanship, and Hank’s fleeting moment of triumph. All this, your feedback, and a bit of the old spoiler action in our proprietary spoiler section at the end of the cast. Speaking of which, DO NOT CLICK THE FOLLOWING LINK IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE POTENTIALLY SPOILED REGARDING THE PLOT OF THE FINAL THREE EPISODES. I personally think the likelihood of these spoilers being accurate is pretty low, but I didn’t read them so you do so at your own risk.

While quite a few people got some of the broad strokes right, again, Vince Gilligan and crew made sure that we were all left guessing and trying to puzzle out where we were going until The End… and what an end it was. Jim and A.Ron struggle to put their thoughts into words as we deliver a instant take where we try to make sense of how we got here, what we thought of it, and where we’re left. Join us for our full coverage Tuesday night! * Scarface homage from last week’s episode, “Rabid Dog”… Support Bald Move: Amazon | Club Bald Move Leave Us A Review Join the discussion: Email | Forums | Facebook | Twitter Learn more about your ad choices.

This episode, 512 entitle “Rabid Dog” turned out to be a bit of a breather, especially compared with the previous 3 of this final season. Not a bad thing, or our hearts would explode before the end. Still lots and lots to talk about, including hitting Walt where he “really” lives, the sour turn Skyler, Marie, and Hank seemed to take this week, the continued heart break of poor Walt Jr, Aaron Paul and Dean Norris’s continued excellence, Babylon 5, Walt’s room clearing ability, and much more. All this, your awesome feedback and analysis, as well as a bit of spoiler discussion after the protective wall of music! Hope you enjoy! Support materials for this podcast: * James Poniewozik’s article on Time, “Gotta Keep The Devil Way Down in the Hole” * Gus’s amazing and awesome death foreshadowing * Possible Hank death foreshadowing? * Aaron Paul’s fun instagram regarding his life of crime with Holly White… Support Bald Move: Amazon | Club Bald Move Leave Us A Review Join the discussion: Email | Forums | Facebook | Twitter Learn more about your ad choices.

A.Ron and I rushed off to the mics again to talk about episode 512, “Rabid Dog”. We ask the hard questions such as: Has Skyler broken bad? Has Hank broken bad? Is there any freakin’ one on this show who HASN’T broken bad? Also, what would Huel do with Walt’s money?

Jim and A.Ron celebrate one of the greatest episodes in Breaking Bad / Television history! By anyone’s estimate, episode 511, “Confessions”, was tense, gripping, and incredibly satisfying to watch. We can’t disagree. Join us for an indepth discussion of manipulation, frozen firearms, creepy manhugs, Aaron Paul’s subtler moments, Hank trapped in a jar, and much, much more. All this, and our all-star listener feedback and voicemails, as well as our spoiler section, safely ensconced behind a wall of protective outro music. I’d like to pride a few links that are relevant to parts of our discussion; Anna Gunn’s New York Times op-ed on her experiences playing Skyler White, and Mo’ Ryan’s piece furthering the examination the frequent viewer hatred of her character.
