Time To Check Into "Breaking Bad" Again

Since I'll be in ABQ next week, it's time to dust off my camera and look into locations again.... Here's some links (mostly from Duke City Fix).

First day of shooting.

At the rail yards.

Catholic-oriented (but unarguable) commentary on Breaking Bad.:
I have never seen a show which portrays the addictive and destructive nature of sin better than Breaking Bad. Walter White uses the very good desire to provide for his family to justify some very bad behavior. At first, Walter convinces himself that while he is doing a bad thing, he is not a bad guy. He just can’t see himself as the bad guy.

What makes the show so brilliant, in my estimation, is how the story telling stays true to the title of the show. Becoming bad is a process.

...At first Walter tries to convince himself that what he does isn’t hurting anyone and that those who choose to take the drug would do it whether he provided it or not. But the reality of the lives destroyed through drug use is vivid and unavoidable. Beyond that, the show brilliantly shows the unintended consequences of sin and its destructive force on the completely innocent, including the family he sought to protect.

...The amazing part of the show is that you know that the show will, nay must, end in disaster. The wages of sin is death and Breaking Bad would have it no other way. For that reason, it is my favorite show on television.
