Is this the Breaking Bad-appropriate thread? Which begs the question: is Breaking Bad appropriate anywhere?

I would think so. I need to watch it from the beginning. I saw about half an episode and liked it, but was confused.

That's true. It would make a lot more sense if you saw it from the start. Part of the show's mission appears to be to put comic actors into an increasingly bleak drama. Last night's episode introduced Bob Odenkirk as a recurring character, and I was wondering what other viewers thought of this.

Oh! I missed it last night. I like it generally though.

Iirc*, "Choose Me" is an Alan Randolf ("The Moderns") movie. I really loved it at the time, but haven't seen it since.
I own it if you want to borrow it sometime. Alan Rudolph was one of the four directors we studied in my "Five Directors" class in college. I fell in love with Choose Me instantly.

I'm not terribly familiar with Bob Odenkirk, but I like his character's addition. At once an ally and a threat.
I really like the way Walt is always one step behind, even when he thinks he's looking ahead. He sure handled that whole wrong-bench thing well, though. On the whole, I think he does better when he reacts without thinking; when he starts to plan stuff out he inevitably acts from incomplete information and doesn't really take that into account at all.
Jesse's neighbor needs to stay the hell away from him. No way sleeping with him is good for her recovery.

I think Walt doesn't always understand that the game is a different reality and that he can't always apply chemistry-teacher habits to, uh, freelance pharmaceuticals. Not that I've seen the most recent ep yet.

He knows that intellectually, I think, but he can't shake the idea that he's smarter than everyone on the street and should be able to think his way to the top, but just as he gets a handle on the last thing that he wasn't ready for, something new hits him. Which I'm finding quite plausible.

Yeah, me too. But once in a while, it's as if we don't see Walter at all...just Heisenberg, and those are times in which he's more successful.ETA: Rescue Me: They actually made me feel a bit sorry for crazyhead Sheila yesterday. But I'm sure she'll go back to screeching again, soon. I kind of hope Lou has a chance with Genevieve, though Tommy's hotter, I still feel sad about the crap Kenny took about his 9/11 poems...he deserves a hot Frenchwoman, man.
