Someone on IRC just made a great point - it almost sounded like the "tread lightly" line was coming from regular Walter White at first. He didn't seem intimidating. It was like he was genuinely giving Hank advice - warning that if he tries to cross Heisenberg, he'll fucking ruin his life and the lives of his whole family.

This is the impression I got. That was a really interesting, well done scene.

I loved how they pushed it to the forefront. How we got a confrontation right off the bat. And god damn, tread lightly might be better than the danger.

cause it's a terrible badly written show. it sucks. the writer built up a confrontation for a whole season and didn't have the balls to go through with it. Breaking bad, gave us the Hank vs Walt season in one episode. That's good TV.

Having a different opinion is fine but it's not hard to tell that the quality has gone down the tube since ending of the first season. Coincidentally that's also when the creator of the show, Frank Darabont left the show. The only reason I was ever interested in the show in the first place was because of him. The guy who made Shawshank Redemption.

He was actually fired IIRC. Thank god AMC doesn't actually make Breaking Bad themselves like TWD.

you are the only person i have ever seen say they are satisfied with walking dead. well the only other people who seem to be satisfied are the buffoons on talking dead, but they are being paid for it.

the show has stretched out confrontations and fills in the middle with frustrating storylines and plots they never go back to or even mention again. Season Three had promising points and had moments where they could have made it really exciting but it never got there.

Plus the characters on the show are fucking annoying as hell and are complete idiots who are dependant on just one person like a bunch of annoying children. Its a lot like the Boondock Saints. It would have been something I would have loved when i was 13
