    I already had 713 on my ignore list for unrelated reasons. Glad I did.

    That's because this is a TV show. The criticism doesn't have to relate to real life, rather the consistency the show itself offers.

    Todd drew and shot the kid without looking like he didn't know how to hold a gun. The Nazi crew wiped out the entire meth operation Lydia had in about 30 seconds and now look like they have the deadly accuracy of a group of Stormtroopers.

    There's nothing wrong with being critical when the show can't stay within it's own logic.



    Though honestly, the shootout doesn't bother me like Walt falling stupidly for that plan.

    To be fair Todd shot a kid that was like 5 feet away and the nazis took that gang by surprise. I know we can't say for sure but I don't think they were shooting them from 50 feet away.

    You have to look at it from a cinematographic perspective. The gun fight lasted about 40 seconds of show time, but between panning between characters and showing what they are doing, it could have only been 5 to 10 seconds in "real" time.

    True. Did hank even reload? How long would it really have taken him to squeeze off 15 rounds?

    If you watch the behind the scenes video on youtube, it looks like the scene didn't take very long in real time.

    Looks like Todd will die and Walt will be relegated ot being a slave cook because nobody else is there to cover for him.

    All that stuff with the brain to at the end and Hank's conversation was intended to make us think it was Hank that was going to get shot in the head...but the writers don't use blatant symbolism and treat us for idiots. Its going to be more complex than that.

    One thing is for certain though, the guns at the end are meant for the Nazis.

    He never said it was. He said it was the plot ending, had it in a quote box and never said it was his prediction. This isn't the first time he's "accidentally" spoiled something.

    To save face maybe. But the description was too detailed and well written to be considered a prediction he came up with.

    The poster 713 isn't being arrested :rolleyes:

    Clutch's decision to ban is him expressing his own "freedom of speech".

    Freedom of speech only applies to the go'berment. He's site, his rules.

    Truth be told, I'm a bit burnt out on Breaking Bad. I'll watch this season since I already started it, but after this season is over I think I'll call it quits with BB.

    713 is one of my 5 least favorite posters. Is this a temp ban or a permanent one? (Fingers crossed)
