#BREAKING BAD SEASON 1 EPISODE 6 SUMMARY SERIES#

A Mexican standoff was in the offing: if Jessie killed Gale, Walt's boss would be unable to have Walt killed (something Walt's boss, Gus- played with a brilliantly understated menace by Giancarlo Esposito-wanted very much by the time season three wrapped). When we last saw Walt and Jessie, the former was being held at gunpoint by his boss' number-one henchman, Mike (Jonathan Banks), and the latter was doing a little gunpoint-holding of his own with Walt's former assistant, Gale (David Costabile). And, if you're already a fan of the series, well.you need no further introduction, do you? You're here to find out what we thought of tonight's season premiere, so let's cut the shenanigans and get down to it. If it sounds like something you'd enjoy (and trust me: it almost certainly will be), you need to ignore any potential spoilers about the show ( Breaking Bad recaps- including this one- will be packed with 'em), head out to your local DVD retailer, and purchase the first three seasons immediately: maybe you can get all caught up before next week's episode airs.

#BREAKING BAD SEASON 1 EPISODE 6 SUMMARY SERIES#

That's the best possible overview of the series I can provide you with in a single paragraph. The bulk of Breaking Bad's three-season run has dealt with Walt's attempts to keep his family oblivious to his terrible secret, his misadventures in the drug-infested underbelly of New Mexico, his run-ins with other local dealers (each more colorful and intimidating than the last), and his love/hate relationship with Jessie. Jessie's got experience in New Mexico's drug-dealing game, but he's far from the world's savviest businessman. His partner in crime is one of his former students, the put-uponВ Jessie Pinkman (Aaron Paul). The twist, of course, is that Walt uses chemistry to manufacture and sell crystal-meth.

Realizing that he has only months to live and no money to speak of, Walt turns to chemistry in a desperate attempt to build a 'nest egg' for his soon-to-be-fatherless family. In case you're unfamiliar with the series, Breaking Bad stars former Malcolm in The Middle dad Bryan Cranston as Walter White, a former chemist (and present-day chemistry teacher) who learns that he has terminal cancer.

For fans of outstanding television, this wasn't unusual- entire civilizations rose from nothing, prospered, reached cataclysmic ends, and rebooted themselves in-between seasons of HBO's The Sopranos - but still, we're all happy the wait is over. Tonight, AMC aired the fourth-season premiere of their best series, Breaking Bad (we could debate whether or not Breaking Bad's the best series on AMC all week,В but let's not get bogged down in petty details: even if you're particular to a different AMC series- say, the also-awesome Walking Dead- you'll surely agree that Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad is a cut above almost everything else on TV), ending the borderline-unbearable 13-month drought fans of the series had been suffering through since season three wrapped.
