Yeah not much happens, right? Congrats on your shallow opinion. Slow/uneventful does not equal bad. Something the large majority of this board doesn't seem to understand.

Yeah, but slow certainly doesn't equal great character development, either.

It blows my mind that some people consider this one of the best episodes of Breaking Bad. If AMC had given the show the exact same budget for 12 episodes instead of 13, this episode never happens and it has no effect on the show whatsoever.

This will be an unpopular opinion, but Pine Barrens is a bit overrated in my book. It was a good episode, and very different than most of the Sopranos, but it would have trouble cracking my top 10 episodes of all time. Between the rest of that series, The Wire, BB, Mad Men, GoT, etc? No way it's top 10.

Pine Barrens is the funniest, but
"Join The Club" is the Best Sopranos and maybe the best episode of TV I've ever seen.

The final moments of the episode alone with Tony sitting on the bed watching the light of death in the distance and Moby playing in the background is perhaps the best scene I've ever seen on TV.

It's because Bryan Cranston puts together some of the best acting ever seen on TV. The scene when Jesse was on the ladder and it seemed as though Walt was about to spill the beans about Jane was thrilling. It's an isolation episode with Walt and is similar to Soprano's Pine Barrens LINK

The first time a TV show made me choke up IRL. Watching Green break after he gets on train (last scene)....done.
BTW, Bradley Whitford from West Wing plays the father of the baby. Watching him slowly realize it's going bad is impressive as well.


For us, the unwashed masses, please enlighten as to which show you are referring.

Thx!

thrilling lol

The episode is boring as nails and if we're being real with ourselves is simply filler. As the other poster mentioned if BB was given 1 less episode that season that episode is never even made, how could an ep like that be considered one of the best.

The only thing to take away from that episode is "walt is super driven and is hellbent on perfection and getting things right" which we already knew without that episode.

This. Once everyone leaves the desert nothing much happens. The reveal to Junior is underwhelming and wasted and Walt kidnaps the baby for about 5 minutes.

Well I thought it was great scene, and a memorable stand alone episode. I find that when most of this board thinks a movie/tv series is boring...it's probably actually really good.

well I gotta disagree there. SPOILERS.....




-first we get the little easter egg of walt passing by his pants from the pilot
-we see that the aryans know about andrea and brock to use if needed
-marie tells skyler that walt is caught and hank has him in custody
-walt furiously tells everyone to pack up, people know shite has hit the fan and somethign is going down
-skyler weilds a knife and cuts walt as his family is tearing apart before his eyes
-walt basically tells them that hank is dead
-he steals a GD baby while skyler breaks down in the street
-walt makes the phone call that gets skyler off the hook as to her involvement
-walt calls saul's guy and gets in the van, essentially wiping away his current existence

The whole episode is a thrill ride.

Supernatural has some of the best television I've ever watched and I've seen most of the shows mentioned.

A couple that come to mind are:

1. The episode where the trickster kills Dean over and over again and makes Sam relive the day continuously.

2. The episode where Sam and Dean get thrown into an alternate reality where they are actually themselves in real life. So it's Sam and Dean playing out real life Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. I love that Sam is married to the dark haired Ruby in the show and in real life as well, so they even depicted that and Dean's non-stop criticism for him marrying Ruby hahaha.

Seriously though, this episode is a little overrated here. It's great and probably one of my favorites of the series but it's not the best episode of television ever.
