How does it work? He's judged on 8 episodes? Or do the previous ones count? Can he win 2 for one drawn out season?
The chance of the tape surfacing again made me think of something else. We've heard that by the end of the show, all loose ends will be tied up. Example, Jane's death was revealed by Walt to Jesse. So, will Hank's death be revealed to Marie, Skylar, & Jr that it was not in the hands of Walt? I think it would have to be if they revealed Jane's death. So, how will it be revealed? Only 3 group of people knew how Hank died: Walt, Jesse, & Todd/Jack. Walt - whatever he says, they won't believe him. So, it definitely won't be him. Jesse - He hates Walt so much that he would want them to think it was Walt who killed Hank. So, no here as well. Todd/Jack - The only choice left. How & why would the Nazi reveal this would be the question. One scenario would be Jack speaking on the phone with Walt in front of the 3 and says "If you don't want them to turn out like your brother in law, you need to make yourself available." Another would be while the 3 are captured by Jack, he made small talk and says something along the line of "Oh he will come for you. Your husband is something, he made all this money, but he was willing to give it all up to save your DEA husband (looking at Marie)".
I believe it started with their home address. And, then it said "My Name is Holly...". It was just complete information on where the baby lived and the baby's name...so they would get her home.
Thank you. This is what I was getting at. It will feel rushed. The show will only be GOAT status depending on these last two episodes
For the people who didn't understand the phone call, here's how the writer of the episode explained it in an interview:
This years Emmys will be based on the first 8 episodes of this season. The last 8 episodes will be judged on next years' Emmys.. This years nominations: Lead Actor Bryan Cranston - "Say My Name" Supporting Actor Jonathan Banks - "Say My Name" Aaron Paul - "Dead Freight" Supporting Actress Anna Gunn - "Fifty-One" Outstanding Directing Michelle MacLaren - "Gliding Over All" Outstanding Writing George Mastras - "Dead Freight" Thomas Schnauz - "Say My Name" Outstanding Drama Series Breaking Bad
As the above implies, actors submit ONE episode for consideration. They don't judge based on the season as a whole.
season 4 should have won best show, ( i haven't seen the end of 5 so..) season 4 is the best season of any T.V I've ever seen.
Correct - Also, many people incorrectly assume that the the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences watches TV and decides who is up for the nominations. This is not the case. If the producer/actor/production company does not submit an entry, it is not considered at all for an emmy. If they don't enter, they can't be nominated. All the Academy does is take the submissions, watch and scores them on how emmy-worthy they are. The top rated submissions are the "nominations" and the one with the highest score is the winner. So, if your favorite show didn't get nominated, its highly possible that they didn't even submit an entry.
Anybody watch Homeland? That can tell me how Damien Lewis' acting is? I thought Cranston deserved a 4th emmy for his performance in "Crawl Space" I'm assuming that's the episode that was submitted for entry.
Woody Allen's To Rome with Love and Stardust Memories use the term "Ozymandias Melancholia", which Allen defines as "the realization that your works of art will not save you and will mean nothing down the line".[16]
oh wow so that's why he took Holly, to ensure the cops would be there so he can set his family free. I knew he called to clear them, but didn't understand the Holly part.
I don't think that's why he took Holly, I think he planned on keeping Holly, he made the comment "now we need to get you a new car seat" after he changed her diaper. I don't think he decided to give her back until she was crying for her mama and he realized a life on the run from the law is no life for a child.
Q: Do you and the Breaking Bad writing staff intentionally seek inspiration from other great crime films, or does it just evolve as scripts are written? — Alec A: My writers and I are inspired constantly by great movies and TV shows. Not just crime movies, but westerns. We take a lot of inspiration from the “spaghetti westerns” of Sergio Leone. Once Upon a Time in the West is a particular favorite, and the first fifteen minutes of that movie is something that I have potential directors of the show watch before they start directing for us. Also, The Godfather, Parts I and II. I was thinking of The French Connection when I directed the pilot. I was emulating the look of it, or perhaps a better word is stealing from it. I love the visual sense of that movie. Film noir is a big influence: the classic noirs — I could watch The Maltese Falcon once a month, probably — as well as the Coen brothers contemporary ones as well.
True. The writer of the episode said as much. He initially took her to keep at least one part of his family. Then, he just couldn't go through with it as Holly got to him crying for Mama.
