Did this season burn through all its excitement reserves in the premiere? It's been so freaking BORING! Even Bob Odenkirk's scenes go over like a lead balloon. No axe-wielding hitmen, no macguyver moments, no grand guignol black humor, no "I can believe he just did that" insane scenes. Anna Gunn isn't even that hot anymore after that awful facelift.
It's like they wrote themselves into a corner and they don't know how to get out. One episode Marie's kleptomania resurfaces. Whoop! Then it's gone. Hey, Jessie is trying to block out his demons by throwing an insane 3-day party. Did that sink in? No problem, let's keep that silly party going for 3 more episodes where nothing happens. Did we ever mention before in the show that Walt desperately wants to impress Hank and his son? Maybe we should pad the episode with a 15 minute scene reminding us of that fact. Also, lets keep Walt and Jessie as far apart as possible at all times.
And it's not like they didn't have anyplace for the series to go. Looked last season like Gus was about to go to war with the mexican cartels. Would have been an exciting A plot this season for Walt and Jessie to be wildcards caught in the middle. Nah, forget that. What the audience cares about is buying the freaking carwash. Can you cover that in exhaustive detail? I mean, all we got for the A plot is that Walt is frustrated and impotent.
Meh, this is Dexter season 3 all over again. I can forgive a single boring episode, but ever since Gus put the box cutter away, this season has been a long protracted snore. |
