CaptainGyro: Most of the scenes aren't as nearly as well done as that scene though,( or group of scenes, including the previous 2 locations). It's the only time where I got multiple chills while watching it.
But thanks for bumping this because you're right, more people need to talk about how amazing the show is
For TV programming currently in production (not cancelled), for me there exists a holy trinity: Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and Community. Nothing else comes close.
I was a late convert to Breaking Bad (I found the premise a bit dubious/exploitative and figured it "wouldn't be thing") and only got on-board when Season 2 was released on DVD. I grudgingly broke down from a friend's constant badgering and decided to rent both seasons to see what all the fuss and accolades were about. I must have swallowed every single ep in a week, it was as addictive as the BLUE glass Walt bakes. Hooked for life. The writing, acting, pacing and tension all come together in a perfectly synthesized drama.
Giancarlo Esposito is a force of nature. Such a perfect supervillian
