Breaking Bad

It's a company policy. They represent as a team. Kind of New England Patriot's style. Definitely a lot of talented people.

I think it's AMC. They also don't give credit to the colorist and the other post people on Walking Dead (done in Atlanta, I believe). And yet... credit is given on most of the HBO shows and the Showtime shows. Go figure.

Regardless, Breaking Bad was always a great-looking show and a great-sounding show, too. The producers' taste in picking great music and having great instincts on editing had a huge effect on how well the series turned out. Definitely one of the top classics of the last 10 years.
 
Saw the last episode last night. Actually think that BB is the best production I have seen. Find it quite amusing that it can be so good, as I find no reason why CSI or any of those TV shows could not be at the same level or even better considering that other show spins way bigger budgets etc. Think the other guys need to go home rethink and start over.. lol.

The Sopranos doesn't match up. Every Breaking Bad episode has a point, is well executed and none were throw away episodes.

Hit the nail on the head, Matt. You sound like a writer.
 
Has anybody else noticed that they have used the same neighborhood "dog bark" since the pilot episode. No matter where a scene is taking place, we hear that same dog "bark." Breaking Bad is such a clever show so there must be some sort of hook to it.

Signifies trouble or caution and sometimes a loose end that needs to be dealt with.

There's some color themes throughout the series:

The show is methodically put together and everything usually has a meaning. Honestly, incredible show all around.

Season 3 Ep 10 "Fly" Not my cup of tea! Bottle show
Click to expand...

But that episode is showing Walt become the obsessive persona he'd become. He wasn't going to let anyone beat him (at the moment he was in Gus' control), not even a fly. Walt has a tendency to obsess on minute things when things go bad or loses control. When he gets the cancer diagnosis he points out the mustard stain. When his life was in jeopardy he fixated on the rot in the house. He has fixated on cleaning the pool, cutting the crust off of sandwiches, and fixing tables. It was a bottle episode due to budgetary reasons, but still had meaning.

The fly buzzing is also symbolic to Walt's cancer eventually returning. If you remember back to Jessie's story about his aunt and the raccoon under the house. After it had been removed she still swore she heard it and Jesse said that's how we knew the cancer had spread to her brain. The fly is symbolic to Walt's cancer. Keep in mind the first time we heard the fly Walt was laying in his bead curiously listening to the buzz.

When Walt says "It's all contaminated" at the end of the episode, I think he is referring to his own life rather than the lab. He had his chance to get out but instead has gone past his original intentions, joined Gus and pushed things past recoverable. I personally liked the episode but I could see where others don't like it.

Here's a good breakdown on the episode:
