Salon: Erik Nelson- ‘Breaking Bad: Mike Blows it’

“In which Our Hero speeds by the Last Exit on the Highway To Hell, and we learn a new reason for his haste in passing.

Vince Gilligan has admitted that he and his writers view writing “Breaking Bad” as a game of Vulcan three-dimensional chess. If so, last week’s “Dead Freight” was a sacrifice move, that allowed all of the pieces to arrange on that game board in precisely the right fashion. Make no mistake. The precision and plotting of “Buy-Out” redeems the excesses of “Dead Freight,” and (almost) makes that last move worthwhile. Last week’s overblown heist plot turns in on itself in “Buy-Out.” Something is not pulled off, but rather, an attempt is made to pull out, in this case, via a brilliant exit strategy that would clearly allow all of our players to escape with their lives and a nice pocket o’ change. What could possibly go wrong? Of course.”

Breaking Bad is a show that I can watch from time to time. I’l catch a marathon of it on AMC (when I’m up very late, can’t sleep, and have nothing else to do) but then I’l go months without watching it, because I get my fill from it after a few episodes. It’s sort of like that great Hitchcock or Bond movie that you see where you are given so much to take in at once and then you just don’t need it for a while. The writers, producers, and cast of this show, really know how to satisfy their audience and fill up their brains leaving them wanting no more, at least for a while.
