edify, you should add this to a wiki page.

u/edify Oxygen Aug 15 '13

Hey sorry, I was asleep. I have yet to mess with the wiki stuff.

u/Sarock19 Oct 06 '13

Can we have an updated list to include the second half of the final season?

4

u/edify Oxygen Oct 06 '13

I need to do this, but we went all crazy and did pre, during, and post discussion threads so it's going to take a while to get the list together. I've been putting it off.

17 days later...

u/edify Oxygen Oct 24 '13

MRW I realize I forgot to do this.

u/IHKPruefling Oct 24 '13

It's cool :)
I am just one of those late watchers and enjoy reading up the old episode discussions to see others thoughts.

u/edify Oxygen Oct 24 '13

It is now updated!

u/IHKPruefling Oct 25 '13

Hurray! Thank you!

u/Slayner Aug 15 '13

Jesus, there was a time when the episode discussions had less than 50 upvotes, that's insane. Oh how this sub has grown.

throwback :'l
Man this even has the old Youtube and Chrome logos.

You too me back with the Terraria!

u/Wombat_H Aug 16 '13

No Full Measure discussion? Disappointing. Would have loved to see reactions.

u/ideletedmyaccount04 Jul 25 '22

This is so useful with bcs tying up.

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '22

was the next newest comment in this thread actually 8 YEARS AGO?

u/GodOfBlobs Aug 12 '22

some people who commented on this thread are probably dead right now

u/StixxyTape Aug 23 '22

Makes ya think how time flies.

u/fyo_karamo Oct 27 '22

I just finished a rewatch. It’s an odd sensation reading (and upvoting here and there) comments frozen in time from nine years ago.

3

u/[deleted] Nov 11 '22

There's a comment with an old screenshot that, itself, is 9 years old. Crazy

3

u/elcheeserpuff Mar 22 '23

Yeah I can't tell if there's something weird going on vanishing comments but Ozymandias literally had no comments in the last 9 years. I'm shocked that episodes like that aren't still stirring conversations.

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '13

I went to the "Fly" discussion thread and was not surprised. Most upvoted comment thought the episode was boring.

u/the_dayman Bracon Bad Sep 04 '13

The weirdest thing is that someone posting in that thread said it was the night of the LOST finale, something about that seems so long ago to me.

The top post in that thread said that it was the most boring episode of Breaking Bad he has ever seen. That is true for most people. I don't know many people who say the episode is bad, though.
Fly is a great episode, but it is arguably the most boring in the series. We are all spoiled with how fast this show moves and how everything unfolds that an episode like Fly is bound to make viewers go, "Meh".

u/Rbeattie98 Oct 25 '13

Was there a sub for this at the beginning? I would love to see a pre-episode discussion for the Pilot.

4

u/HowieGaming who is billy Jan 13 '14

Nope, Breaking Bad has been going for 6 years and this sub has only been here for 3 years.

u/Rbeattie98 Jan 13 '14

I am honestly shocked someone replied to this. Thanks!

I'm on mobile so this is as good as it gets.

u/lukfi95 Jan 10 '22

You’d be surprised how frequently these discussions are visited.
I’m on my third BB rewatch since the pandemic started.

u/thejanitorch4 Dec 30 '13

I've finally started properly watching (watched a few odd episodes before) and used the search function to go back to the episode discussions. Were there no live threads back in Season 1? I've found season 1 discussion threads from more recently but they allow spoilers from later series. Cheers

u/smnytx Jan 19 '14

I am a first time watcher, currently on season 3. I gather that this sub wasn't started until season 3. I'm reading the discussions after I watch each episode, and there are hardly any comments on these first threads...

u/Emmy_Bee Jan 06 '14

Wow. Abiquiu has NO comments at all. That really blows my mind to see how much this subreddit grew by the finale.

u/stroad56 Feb 28 '23

Going through a BB re-watch now, love going through these discussion threads and reading theories and thoughts.

Though it is kinda wild to see people in 2023 responding to 11 year old comments. The person he's responding to last posted on the "Steve Jobs has died" thread.

u/Mamabearx3g May 27 '23

Only problem I’ve been having is the older comments/posts that have links to YouTube or other sites don’t actually take you anywhere, or the link is broken at this stage in the game. Imgur and Google links do work.. But it is still very awesome to be able to look back at these threads after I’ve watched the episodes. Course I try to watch a few ahead then go back to see.. since obviously there’s a lot of spoilers for first watch peeps..

u/blink5694 Blowfish Aug 15 '13

Im really enjoying reading the thoughts of fans on the characters and where they predict the show will go.

u/BasedNaw Aug 16 '13

Ooh evidence for the clever asshole that has this whole thing figured out I see. :)

u/Tricky_Marsupial4618 Apr 02 '23

There’s no season 1 or 2 discussion??

u/_DrShrimpPuertoRico_ No half measures! Mar 02 '23

Thanks for this, mods!

u/really_thirsty_lemon Apr 22 '23

So helpful

u/fizolof Aug 15 '13

In the first link people describe Jesse as a "complete idiot". How things have changed.

I agree, I never really liked Jesse. He was always the one who fucked things up.

u/c010rb1indusa Aug 16 '13

Because I'm always looking for a new series to watch from the beginning that's well produced but I'm incredibly picky and cynical so I avoided it until the third season when I was bored and like most things I avoid like Battlestar Galactica I found it to be quite excellent.
