Wife and I have been binging this, and cranked out the final three episodes last night (Ozymandias-Granite State-Felina).
This was my second go-round, and her first. Show is still an epic masterpiece in every way.
You definitely notice more than a few things in a different context watching it the second time. Off the top of my head:
-Walt spinning the gun in his backyard, which eventually pointed to the Lily of the Valley
-Walt's discussion with Saul about hiring two hitmen, which no doubtedly sprung the idea for keeping Gretchen and Elliot in check in the finale
-Gus visiting Jesse at the hospital when Brock was poisoned, then slowly figuring things out during the walk back to the (rigged) car
-in the desert, when Hank had Walt cuffed up and called Marie (for the last time), that conversation took on a whole new meaning and was absolutley gut-wrenching to sit through while knowing Hank's fate:
"Things are gonna be a little rough the next couple of weeks, but they'll get better."
"I gotta go. It may be a while before I get home. I love you."
A few more thoughts:
-count my wife in on the I-Hate-Skyler Club. If there was an ep where Skyler had a minimal role, my wife would be like "See how good that episode was? It's because Skyler was barely in it!"
-Gus was just trying to run a business, man
-hated Fly
slightly less the second time around, but I still think it's by far the worst episode (and so does my wife)
My personal top 5:
5) Peekaboo
4) And the Bag's in the River
3) Dead Freight
2) Face Off
1) Ozymandias, probably the single greatest episode of any tv show ever
HMs: Full Measure, One Minute, Better Call Saul, Salud, Half Measures
Maybe I'm exaggerating (maybe not), pretty sure TV has been forever ruined for me now as I can't bring myself to watch anything else. You hear people say "I wish I could watch it for the first time again" for a great show or movie. With BB, after last night, I also wished I could watch it for a SECOND TIME the first time again.
