BREAKING BAD WHO’S WHO

NEW MEXICO – Breaking Bad has hoisted itself to ‘the best thing on television’ shelf with an explosive final season that still has some way to go yet.

But many viewers have been left confused or will have only decided to start watching now that everyone is talking about it so here is our Studio Exec Who’s Who of all episodes up until episode 14 of Season 4. Spoilers included. 
So …

  • Walter White is this chemistry teacher with cancer who decides to deal meth, uses an old student to help him, cooks and sells meth, watches a girl die without intervening, murders some people, has someone else murder some people, poisons a kid, lies to his family, abuses his wife, coerces his wife into helping him, destroys his family, has his brother-in-law (who is a DEA officer) killed, has his erstwhile partner and pals around with Nazis.
  • Skyler White (Walter’s wife) is the villain of the piece. 

Breaking Bad screens on AMC or is available for illegal download pretty much anywhere. 

BREAKING BAD SPIN-OFF: SMILER SKYLER A GO

NEW MEXICO – Following the news earlier today that AMC have just green lit Better Call Saul comes the unexpected news that a second Breaking Bad spin off Smiler Skyler is also in the works. 

Anna Gunn will star in the prequel as Skyler White, Walter’s (Bryan Cranston) long suffering wife and will show her as a savvy business woman and home maker, before Walt got in the meth cooking business. The official studio synopsis reads:

Skyler White is an intelligent woman with a big heart and a fierce need to protect her family, through thick and thin. Watch as she dreams of one day owning a car wash. Gasp as she goes with Walt to Walt Jr’s PTA meetings. Laugh as she and Walter go to Hank and Marie’s house dressed as the Addams Family. No matter what life throws at them, this was a happier time… when Skyler smiled.

Fans have greeted the news with weak displays of half hearted okayishness and Vince Gilligan has denied any involvement.

Smiler Skyler will air early in 2014.
