    Is Breaking Bad jumping the shark?

    Hopefully I am being too impatient, but a year of anticipation is leading to disappointment. If next week sucks, it may be time to move on.

    I don't have a problem with slow episodes, but there at least needs to be some story building. The only storyline building I am seeing is Jesse is going crazy, Marie is going crazy, the brother-in-law is going crazy but might start getting involved again... oh and now they have a car wash.

      Only seen the first two so far but it seems to have lost direction.

                  seiously the fact that both the main characters are living on borrowed time
                  and need to figuire out how to take out the main guy controling their lives

                          I lost interest in it midway through the second season tbh.

                              Hopefully It kicks up a couple notches in the coming 3-4 episodes.

                                  The way things are going I could only hope this is the last season.

                                      I thought the first season was great, but this one so far is dragging... almost nothing is happening.

                                      it seems that they assumed it would be a two season show and now trying to stretch it out further. in doing so, I think they lost a lot of their audience and probably wont get renewed for another year

                                          Yeah it has been pretty slow this season. I'm going to start to DVR them and watch them two at a time from now on.

                                                  The premiere of this season set a record for the show. So I doubt they are losing viewers, but when you take a year off to film and 3 episodes in have nothing going around the main story well, it's going to fall apart.

                                                  1 year off and the reputation that AMC has for production, people were expecting to be dazzled, so far I am just bored.

                                                      Although things happened in it, the last episode was really boring indeed, hope it will get better, as it was.

                                                                      OK, Jesse is having a hard time dealing with what he did, but at least he keeping a clear head in the lab. The go cart scene was only a couple of seconds while they used to stretch that kind of pseudopsychedelic crap over half an episode in the previous seasons.

                                                                      1 complaint: Skyler could show some cleavage.

This season is not on par with others yet, but I kind of trust the writers to bring it around to something really interesting because they always have in the past.

                                                                                                                              I personally think Jesse has to go.. Walt wouldn't have the problems he does with Gus if it weren't for Jesse's junkie ass.

                                                                                                                                      I personally think Jesse has to go.. Walt wouldn't have the problems he does with Gus if it weren't for Jesse's junkie ass.
                                                                                                                                      I'm curious who will get to him first.

                                                                                                                                      Mike or maybe a slight twist would be Walt.

If that is true than it would make sense that they are starting to take it in a direction of critical mass. It will be interesting to see how it all works out.

Jesse is getting fucked for skimming weight out of the batches and selling it on the side.

                                                                                                                                                              I personally think Jesse has to go.. Walt wouldn't have the problems he does with Gus if it weren't for Jesse's junkie ass.
