Todd is right there revealed to be a killer without remorse. That part was necessary to set up the Uncle, his crew, and the finale. I fail to see how you don't understand that.

You should remedy that immediately. I'm not joking when I say it's one of the best shows on TV right now. And it will end up being better than BB by a good margin IMO (in some ways it already is). But it's that good.

Absolutely necessary.

I meant it was silly writing to have the wide-eyed nephew kid all of a sudden willing to commit the murder of a child
The whole point was that everybody else at least put some thought into it. Todd thought no more about killing that kid than he would putting the toilet seat up to piss, terrifyingly psychopathic.

Not as bad as zombie Gus walking out with half a face, but still bad.
Did you even like the show? That was an all time death scene. When he walked out I went from face palming not believing he won again, to literally standing up and shouting holy shite at the TV like it was the winning touchdown. Not to mention the CGI was better than most $100 million budget movies

I suspect that I'll still prefer BB to BCS when all is said and done, but I'll give BCS one big advantage: there aren't any characters that I hate or scenes that I want to fastforward through. Jessie was kind of hit or miss for me, and Skyler and Marie were frequently terrible. BCS doesn't have a single uninteresting character. I can only think of one bad scene throughout the entirety of BCS (octogenarian Mike beating the shite out of a gangbanger and scaring off his half-dozen gangbanger friends). Still, the peaks of Breaking Bad were just so high that the valleys aren't enough to prevent it from being the GOAT.
As for Hank, I agree that I'd like having drinks with him and having him on my side in a bar fight. But he got in the way of our hero, Walt (who did nothing wrong), so he deserved what happened to him in the end. I do appreciate that he went out like a man. Very much unlike Jessie, who would have been crying his arse off. While hank was getting (deservedly) murdered like a boss, Jessie was probably crying while watching one of those help an African kid commercials.

Agreed, but I get his point. They could have toned-down the damage to Gus's face and had him stumble around for a moment before dying. Would have kept the scene a bit more grounded. But the tie adjustment was a great touch that perfectly embodied who Gus was.

Yes, which is why I thought the damage was perfect. This guy was such a robot the whole show, with that proper neatness and politeness seen repeatedly, that despite the catastrophic damage that left him literally 1 second to live he was still robotically thinking about straightening his tie. I almost think it was a nod to other robot/machine movies where the only way to kill them is to blow them up, and up until the very end they are still going with the program until they just end. Gus stumbling around bleeding out wouldn't have been a fitting end to that machine of a character

Yeah, I don't think scrub gets that.
Just now watched the scene where Todd kills Andrea in front of Jesse because he tried to escape.
Those scenes show how evil and coldhearted Todd and his guys are.

Scrub is right about the Gus death. It was overly cartoonish and weird. Cool? Absolutely. But completely unbelievable to the point that it distracted from the episode for me.
And same with the Nazis. They were just cartoonish and bad, for the most part. S5 definitely was a huge step down for me. And it does end on an awesomely high note, but the “villains” just felt super forced and out of place for me.

Why was it cartoonish, unbelievable, and weird? That is exactly how many explosion/bombing victims die

Right, I'll buy that. But they don't get half of their head blown out and exposed, and then get up and walk away, fix their tie, and THEN die.
It was cartoonish. May as well have been Daffy Duck getting his head blown in half and then making some smartass comment about it as he walks away.
It was just completely unbelievable, to the point of being ridiculous. Like I said, is was cool, sure. But also made me laugh audibly when I watched it for the first time.

I was rooting for Walt the whole time the first go round and now I have a completely different opinion of him.
Mike was my favorite character by far and then Hank.
When Walter killed Mike I wanted to come through the tv and strangle him. God I was pissed. Still am pissed, actually.

Maybe I've seen too much shite, but that's how it happens too many times. People walk out of burning buildings on fire asking where they parked their car and drop dead, people walk away from car crashes with their intestines hanging out and texting at the same time. I get that you didn't like the scene, there's many I thought were over the top, but the death itself was far from ridiculous and actually quite realistic

Not to mention the movie El Camino and the housekeeper.
