Half Measure is when the show really starts to hits its stride, buckle up Mary.

Sonny Smith

Its almost as though Walter is...breaking bad. *He said it! He said the name of the show!*

Haha your reaction to the end of episode 12 might be my favorite "shocked" Mary reaction yet lol. Can't wait for season 4. A lot of people consider it the best season of the series. It's incredible. Although I think season 5 is just as good. So it only gets better from here on out!

Michael Short

The half measure with jessie would have been them warning him, but not telling Gus.

Dan

"Only the very best... with just the right amount of *dirty*" Hahaha I love Saul so much.

Michael Kang-Beats

Mike went to see Walt without Gus knowing. Mike's idea of a full measure would have been to kill Jesse. We don't know how the Mike/Gus discussion went, but it's not Mike's call.

Don Mayhem

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I guess it's just another day in Belgium lol. And those who rather eat soup from a can lol. Saul does come off ass a clown ass with his dumb laser tag idea. Like he's not even trying to use his brain anymore lol. I just noticed something on episode 11, but I'll save it for later due to it being a spoiler. "Brandon" and "Peter" are not subtle at all lmao

Don Mayhem

Perfect reaction to Marie helping the "groundhog see its shadow" lmao. And also the reaction to Walt running down on those cowards using a kid.

The age in which you can get a driver's license in the US depends on which state you live in. The most common age being 16 but it can vary from 15-17 and in some states like South Dakota, you can get a driver's license as young as 14! Imagine driving to school in 8th grade. You wouldn't have felt too young had you driven at 15-16. Most teens pick it up quickly cuz everyone wants their license asap. Yea, and the thing about the front door opening directly into the living room (and not into a hallway) confuses Americans too, cuz the VAST majority of homes in the US are not actually designed this way. We too have that buffer room where the front door opens into, it's usually called a foyer. That or the front door opens into a hallway. So, why do we see the front door opening directly into the living room throughout American media? Well, it's done this way for practical and budgetary reasons. Ya see, almost every time we see the interior of a house in a movie or TV series (especially one we see frequently throughout the show like the inside of Walt's house), it's not the interior of a real actual home. The inside of a house is almost always a movie set built inside a movie studio where they film those scenes. They're fake sets like in a stage play. Some interior scenes are filmed in real buildings, but most are shot on constructed sets inside a studio. It would cost a lot more money to film these scenes inside real houses as opposed to movie sets (i.e. paying to rent out someone's home, cost of transporting and setting up film equipment in that house everyday etc.). That's the budgetary reason. But then, why don't movie sets of the interior of a house NOT have that buffer room (or foyer) built into it, why do they build a set where the front door opens directly into the living room? Why not build the set to realistically portray a typical American household? Well, here comes the practical reason. How many times do we see shots of characters walking through people's front doors and into each other's houses? All the time, virtually in every episode. Just think of your own house. Foyers are way too small to set up a movie camera in, not to mention the lighting equipment, camera cranes, microphones, film crews having space to move the camera around if it's needed for the shot etc. Imagine having to film in such a cramped space just for a 3 second shot of a character walking through a front door in every episode. It's basically impossible since foyers are just not big enough, so that's why American homes in movies and TV shows don't have a foyer at all. After knowing this, you'll definitely notice that living room sets in movies are always big open spaces, cuz film crews need space and freedom to move the camera and equipment around quickly and freely. Sure, houses without foyers being portrayed as commonplace in movies is not realistic, but saving money and practicality means more to film crews than anything else.

This is the episode (or rather the set of episodes including the season finale next week) that turned everything around for Breaking Bad. AMC network wasn't fully into the show at this point as the rating had continued to drop from season to season. The creators were looking for another network to bring it to and were in negotiations to shift it to Netflix. AMC came through for a 4th season, but they still managed to work out a syndication deal with Netflix in which all previous seasons would be available to Netflix viewers after season 3 ended. The word-of-mouth about the 2nd half of season 3 was so great that a lot of folks who had never watched discovered it on Netflix and binged seasons 1-3 over the hiatus. By the time season 4 premiered the audience was bigger than it had ever been. When AMC tried to limit their investment in Season 5 (already announced as the final season) to just 6-7 episodes the creators were easily able to demand not just a full thirteen episode order but 16 episodes to be split into two 8 episode half-seasons to be aired over two summers.

Maybe it's a regional thing because here in Michigan I'm counting the houses of myself and family and there are 6 of them where the front door opens right into the living room. /shrug

Laser tag was not really that bad of an idea for money laundering. It’s a real business that could easily have worked to serve its purpose. Businesses are owned by all sorts of characters.

Sonny Smith

The front door to my house opens right into the living room. I think it just depends on the style of house.

Well, yea, sure, there are exceptions, of course, but it IS done so in virtually every movie and TV show for the practical reasons stated above. I can't recall many (if any) instances where I've actually seen a foyer in a movie or TV show. Which of course gives people the false impression that front doors opening directly into the living room is commonplace in American households, which it isn't. Houses that are designed this way are merely exceptions to the rule.
