Am I morally bankrupt, or some kind of weirdo? I have a massive thing for Gus from Breaking Bad.

actually, i thought skyler seemed to be alot prettier towards the end, especially in the last 8 episodes although i didn't fancy her :-D never had a crush on walt though, i thought the nicest he ever looked was when he was daydreaming about a time when he was working out some chemistry using a blackboard and gretchen was sitting in the room with him.. best drama i have ever seen, dh feels the same and he is a fussy bugger

I think the show reacted in part to all the hate Anna Gunn got online for her character. There were complaints that she dared to get 'fat' in season three (in my opinion her perceived weight gain was largely due to an unflattering jaw length haircut). I think she was quite hurt by all that, so the show let her become a bit more glamorous.

I too am a bit obsessed with Gus - my God he ran a tight ship (meth empire)

ChilledGhost · 24/10/2013 19:15

I thought Anna Gunn might've been pregnant over season 3/4 as she looked not fat a bit swollen in some episodes

ChilledGhost · 24/10/2013 19:16

Anyway I don't care, I'm missing the show a lot! Sad

sickofsocalledexperts · 24/10/2013 19:23

I miss it very badly, odd for a tv series. Anyone got any ideas for a replacement (love the Wire too, done the Killing)?

minouminou · 24/10/2013 20:33

Weirdo OP here.
Glad to see that it's not just me after all....even though there's not many of us in Camp Gustavo....

Yeah....I think it is the controlled nature that does it, especially as you know it's not the real him.

Sigh.....such a beautiful face.

I found a very satisfying wikipedia entry re Gus, kept me happy for half an hour!

sickofsocalledexperts · 24/10/2013 20:35

And i have the los pollos t shirt!

minouminou · 24/10/2013 20:35

I know....I keep finding rubbish excuses to stop work for a few minutes to go on YouTube....

sick have you seen 24 or prison break they are both amazing

I read an interview with Anna Gun recently where she said the reason she put on weight was that she had some sort of (unspecified) illness and had to take cortisone, which made her swell up.

I can just about get why you'd fancy Gus. But whoever said the twins - they terrified me! I've had nightmares about them. Had a weird fascination with Mike though (despite the fact that he's old enough to be my dad). Funny that no one's mentioned Todd (Skyler's boss)?

Hallowhuey · 24/10/2013 21:38

My DP has a man crush on Jesse. I'm sure of it Grin

Solaia · 24/10/2013 22:03

Hands off, all of you, Jesse's mine, bitch! He is so incredibly beautiful, there were entire scenes I had to rewind because I wasn't listening I was just staring at the contours of his face Blush

Skyler's boss was very handsome in a conventional way but not all that phoar-sexy. If you get my drift, yo.

CurseOfCurves89 · 25/10/2013 21:12

It makes me a bit sad that no one else like Kuby. Although I like him mostly because bill burr is my favourite comedian.
All for me I guess :)

KristyThomas · 26/10/2013 09:33

Winter - I know what you mean - I started watching BB just a few weeks before the finale, so I watched all 5 seasons in quick succession. After the last episode, I went straight back to the start again. I can't normally watch TV shows over again that quickly, but BB is exceptional (in more ways than one!)

Needadviceandfast · 26/10/2013 11:38

Jesse - beautiful, though it took a couple of series for me to realise as he just seemed too skinny and hip hop to begin with.
Walt - some sort of attraction with the power and I think he has a sexy voice but something doesn't feel right there.
Ted - very attractive indeed but he became pathetic which is a massive turn off.
Gus - sorry, but no! He just seems plastic.
Mike - no. And Ps. No.
The twins - hubba!
Saul - too greasy looking.

Definitely best tv drama ever in my opinion. We've been struggling to find a replacement too sick , and previously we were obsessed with The Wire. Just discovered Weeds and Orange is The New Black, also The Shield was really good.

roughtyping · 26/10/2013 11:58

Ooooh Weeds! Haven't watched that in years, only watched the first couple if seasons I think

minouminou · 27/10/2013 22:13

Sigh.....finished BB last night.
Trying to persuade DP to start at the beginning, but he's not having it.

I've never been so engaged with a series before!

Needadviceandfast · 27/10/2013 22:56

I found it the same, minou. I was totally obsessed! Actually felt bereft when it ended, so my sympathies are with you this evening... Wink

roughtyping · 28/10/2013 19:13

Finished last night as well! How cute was wee Baby Holly.

I did like the ginger guy.

Will def need to watch it again!

LimitedEditionLady · 29/10/2013 12:35

Ohh yes jesse is lovely

LimitedEditionLady · 29/10/2013 12:37

walterwhiteswife · 30/10/2013 19:49
