I don’t want spoilers even for myself but the last episode ended on this fantastic shootout – God Bless Michelle MacLaren for doing such a good job directing that episode – but how would you define these last three episodes?
I think these last three episodes, not to overstate it, and you could say this about the last eight, but with these last three in particular you need to install a seat belt on your sofa, you need to wear a crash helmet and a diaper. [laughs] I tell ya, this next episode (entitled “Ozymandias”), I think for my money, is the best episode we ever had had or ever will have. It was written by Moira Walley-Beckett and directed by Rian Johnson.
I think people are going to have trouble breathing after this thing airs. It’s tremendous and it’s a great, great hour of television and I’m as proud as I can be of the two episodes that air after that one and both of them are a hell of a wild ride, too. I couldn’t be more proud of these final eight episodes or these last three episodes. I think they’re going to leave us with some sleepless nights.
You’ve worked with these actors for so long now. Was there a moment in these last eight that surprised you when you actually saw certain scenes on film?
I think there’s a scene with Aaron Paul that just made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. It’s one we’ve already seen out in the desert when he says to Walt, ‘Why don’t you just tell me the truth and say that you want me to leave because otherwise you’re going to kill me.’ [SPOILER ALERT] There’s another one coming up two episodes from now with Aaron Paul, which I will not say what happens but it is an electrifying moment of acting.

think people are going to have trouble breathing after this thing airs I had trouble breathing after this weeks episode, the way Ozymandias is being built up as the all time greatest Breaking Bad episode is both terribly exciting and terrifying.
ReplyDeleteSame. I can't wait for it to be Sunday already but at the same time I never want it to be Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYeah I really want these final episodes but its getting so hard to watch. What a show!
ReplyDeleteGood to know that Jesse is still alive in Episode 15
ReplyDeleteAnd I have a feeling the Jane shoe will drop then.
ReplyDeleteI just watched the pilot again -- only the second time I've watched it.
ReplyDeleteThey mention on the Talking Bad web extras (on YouTube right now) that there was no quality arc for BB. It's top notch from the very first scene.
Seeing Walt struggle at the Car Wash, washing that punk kid's car after calling him out in class earlier that day, those kind of scenes made me remember why I identified with him in the beginning.
Thats a BOLD statement, saying this this ep. is basically their masterpiece and crowning achievement! Just cause every ep. they made is great because the yall go together, not like the sopranos where something would happen and they never spoke about it again. ( thats what pisse me of about the sopranos, rem. the russian that Polly and Christopher had to kill in the pine barrons ?) Anyway Breaking Bad is the most Original show I have ever watched, Never will their be anther show like this
ReplyDeleteHopefully is gonna be around even for the Final episode.
