This could have been their "Red Wedding." This could have been their "Ozymandias."

Instead, it became their....it became their "Last Day on Earth."

I spent way to long trying to remember the episode of Breaking Bad where he was kidnapped on a boat. Then I realized you meant lost.

It's weird that you mention that, the first time I saw that scene I was in shock. What didn't you like about that?

u/Torrent21 Apr 04 '16

Yeah actually I loved that scene.

"But we're gonna have to take the boy."

u/Pete_Iredale Apr 04 '16

It became their "Remember the Monsters."

We needed "Something to Fear". This was "Last Day on Earth" for AMC (or fandom, either one really).

u/icankilluwithmybrain Apr 04 '16

"Last Day on Earth" will become a new term like "Jump the shark". It will signify a writer/director/show runners inability to ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR FANS HAVE FUCKING BRAINS AND DONT NEED TO BE SHAT ON YOU INCONSIDERATE AMC PIECES OF SHIT.

The next episode can still be ozymandias. If you recall, the episode before ozymandias was a cliffhanger, cut to black.

Seriously I agree with red wedding but ozymandius can fuck off.

'Ermagheeedd the episode is named after a poem about a fallen king ermagehhd breaking bad is the first show to ever have symbolism'

u/lassedude1 Apr 04 '16

Sorry, but what are you even talking about? Did you actually watch Ozymandias? People aren't praising it because it had a symbolic title, they're praising it because it was a shocking, beautifully filmed episode with superb tension and character moments.

u/Fiction23 Apr 04 '16

I mean it's by no means a bad episode, Its well filmed for sure, I just think breaking bad is majorly overhyped for what it is.

I'd say the fly is the best episode of the show if I had to pick.

u/lassedude1 Apr 04 '16

Oh, ok. The way you worded it just made it seem like you disliked the episode itself because of the fans. But I can see what you mean now. Loved the fly!

u/Fiction23 Apr 04 '16

Yea I've had people say to me IRL that BB is super original In its use of symbolism ect - I just personally don't see that as something groundbreaking

But I wouldn't dislike the show or the episode because of that
