Breaking Bad
I don’t believe I’ve posted on this blog about the greatness that is Breaking Bad, but I just want to link to this:
Jesse has always reminded me of Christopher Moltisanti, and funnily enough reminded me most of all at the beginning of this scene. What’s more is as he launches into the parabolic story about the Problem Dog, I immediately recalled an older episode of The Sopranos where Christopher ends up suffocating his girlfriend’s dog as he sits on her on the couch after getting high. The difference between the two shows however is that there is so much comedy in The Sopranos. Even with the death of the dog, you have to laugh at Chris’ reactions and the entire situation. Breaking Bad is just bleak bleak bleak. Amazing show, but dark on a whole other level. I think it’s just one of those ways that The Sopranos was able to cross so many genres.
This scene pretty much locks up another Emmy for Aaron Paul.
