Breaking Bad Review: "Fifty-One" (Episode 5.04)

By Brent Koepp at 11:48 AM on August 6, 2012

“What’s the plan?” All of the tension building between Skyler and Walt is brought to the forefront in “Fifty-One" when Walt asks her how she plans to deal with him. Walt’s been foolishly telling himself that Skyler has been withdrawn because of the Ted Beneke incident. The reality is much a harsher one: she’s repulsed by him. At this point it would make sense for Walt to just move out again; clearly Skyler wants nothing to do with him. But for Walt, having a family—even if it’s falling apart at the seams—is a part of the delusional life he has... read more

Breaking Bad Review: "Hazard Pay" (Episode 5.03)

By Brent Koepp at 10:22 AM on July 30, 2012

“Just because you shot Jesse James, doesn’t make you Jesse James.” Walter White has to face this fact when the profit from their first cook under the new business dwindles. If it wasn’t enough that a large portion of the cuts are being made to pay the cogs in the machine, they also have to pay all of Gus’s ex-employees that have been arrested “hazard pay." Mike calls it the “legacy cut," the money they have to pay to make sure that none of their ex-associates roll on them when the DEA offers them a deal that will free up... read more

Watch Aaron Paul on The Price Is Right From 14 Years Ago

By Patty Miranda at 3:00 PM on July 28, 2012

In 1998, Aaron Paul was a young unknown actor who had just moved to Los Angeles with big dreams of acting stardom. To pass the time in between auditions, he and his friends would attempt to be contestants on The Price Is Right, so often that he had a whole technique down, involving arriving at a specific window of time to ensure being in the middle of the audience.

Breaking Bad Review: "Madrigal" (Episode 5.02)

By Brent Koepp at 3:42 PM on July 23, 2012

“If what we do, we do for good reasons, then we’ve got nothing to worry about. And what better reason than family?” “Madrigal” ends similarly to last week’s premiere “Live Free or Die,” with a terrified Skyler being caressed by Walt as he tries to control her fear. There’s sincerity when he mumbles “it gets easier." The closing scene paints a very clear picture of where Walter White is at. On the one hand, he’s fully accepted who he is and has even become comfortable with being a murderous criminal, yet, there is still a sense of denial with how... read more

Breaking Bad Review: "Live Free Or Die" (Episode 5.01)

By Brent Koepp at 10:27 AM on July 16, 2012

Season five opens up with a flash forward to Walter White, a year ahead of the current time. When the show first started, Walt was 50 years old.
