Breaking Bad: ‘ABQ’ Finale Tonight
May 31, 2009 by Chandra
It’s time! Viewers are just hours away from the 10pm ET second-season finale of AMC’s Breaking Bad.
The episode, which was written by series creator Vince Gilligan, is called “ABQ.” As Season Two winds down, Skyler becomes increasingly frustrated with Walt’s secrecy, Jesse’s spiral downward continues, and Donald experiences a tragedy.
Follow the jump for a sneak peek that focuses on the Whites’ secrecy issue when drugged-up Walt reveals something to his wife he normally wouldn’t while she and Walt Jr. are visiting him in the hospital before his surgery. Watch how fast that smile falls right off of her face. It’s like lightning!
Breaking Bad: ‘Phoenix’ Preview
May 24, 2009 by Chandra
Continue after the jump for a sneak peek at tonight’s brand-new episode of Breaking Bad called “Phoenix.” Preview photos are in an earlier post, and there’s just one more episode left in Season Two after this one.
The clip features Jesse calling Walt to let him know about a problem with their drug supply, only to have Walt react in a completely unexpected way. Will Jesse even make it to Season Three with his continuing “issues”? Probably, but still — the dude needs to get it together.
“Phoenix,” written by John Shiban and directed by Colin Bucksey, premieres tonight, May 24, at 10pm ET.

Holiday or not — tomorrow, May 25, is the national holiday Memorial Day in the United States — AMC plans to go on with the show tonight when it comes to its breakout hit Breaking Bad. I don’t blame the network in the least. When a show is this darn good it needs to come on no matter what, not to mention that the Season Two finale is just one week away.
During the next-to-last second-season episode “Phoenix,” the latest adventures of industrious drug-making high school chemistry teacher Walt White find his family expanding as his also hard-working son Walt Jr. starts a website to help out financially.
On the ever darkening Jesse side, not only does the poor guy’s addiction grow worse, but his relationship with Jane (Krysten Ritter) causes problems with his drug partner Walt and Donald, as well.
Preview photos for the episode follow the jump. I call this typically gloomy collection “The Many Faces of Walt White,” with a little Hank Schrader in the final image.
Breaking Bad: ‘Mandala’ Preview

Like a Breaking Bad sneak peek to go with those “Mandala” preview photos? If so, just hop over the jump to get it while it’s hot.
The footage shows Saul making Walt and Jesse an offer they may not be able to refuse: hooking them up with an unknown “businessman” interested in helping their “business” by buying their “business product” in large supply.
I don’t know… Sounds hinky to me, and when I look at that Saul, all I see is sleaze. Don’t do it, Walt!
“Mandala” premieres tonight, May 17, at 10pm ET.

Ten episodes down, just three episodes left to go in this excellent Breaking Bad second season.
During tonight’s (May 17) fresh hour “Mandala,” the eleventh episode of the season, Saul suggests a new associate when Walt and Jesse’s crew of drug dealers starts losing members. Also, Skyler lets it all out with Ted after she learns something on the disturbing side at work, and things get perilous between Jesse and Jane after he finally tells her what he really does to pay the rent.
Now please join me in giving a nice, loud shout out to very special guest star Giancarlo Esposito (Homicide: Life on the Street, Do the Right Thing, Miami Vice), as well as Christopher Cousins, Sam McMurray, Bob Odenkirk, and Krysten Ritter. Incidentally, Mr. Esposito shall grace Breaking Bad with his ginormous talent again during the May 31 season finale “ABQ.” That’s a big “Mwah!” from AMC to you.

It’s all about family — problems, that is — on “Over,” the Sunday, May 10th episode of AMC’s Breaking Bad.
After Walt and Hank have a heated argument at a party the Whites throw to thank friends and family for their recent support during his illness, Walt becomes obsessed with home-improvement projects.
Meanwhile, Skyler feels emotional and conflicted about Walt’s treatment, issues she shares with her boss Ted, and Jesse’s landlady Jane hides her relationship with the drug dealer from her father.
Follow the jump to sneak a peek at the episode in photos. I wonder what exactly the title refers to as being “over”…
Breaking Bad: ‘4 Days Out’ Preview
May 2, 2009 by Chandra
Next up on AMC’s Breaking Bad is tomorrow’s (May 3) episode “4 Days Out.” Don’tcha just love it when they pull out and put on those gas masks? Makes you think all kinds of trippy stuff.
Life gets a bit more intense than usual as Walt and his family await the results of his most recent PET-CT scan and news about the progress of his cancer treatment. Typically pessimistic, Walt decides to follow Saul’s advice to cook as much meth as possible in his remaining days just in case the worst outcome happens.
That decision also impacts Jesse and his deepening relationship with Jane when Walt informs his “drug buddy” they must head back out to the desert for a marathon meth cookout. Sounds hot, literally.
A few preview photos follow the jump, as well as a sneak peek featuring Jesse receiving an unwelcome call from Walt regarding their need to pack up the ol’ RV and get cooking.

Here’s an advance clip for “Negro y Azul,” tonight’s brand-new episode of Breaking Bad.
When Jesse’s not busy trying to get busy with his new landlady Jane, played by former Veronica Mars and Gilmore Girls’ Krysten Ritter, he’s busy plotting with his “business” partner Walt ways to expand their drug operation to new locations.
Walt’s DEA agent brother-in-law Hank also experiences a problem or two adjusting to his new assignment in El Paso, and actor Danny Trejo (King of the Hill, Grindhouse) stops by to play the character Tortuga.
