Vince Gilligan Talks Breaking Bad

[ethsnafu]

Hi folks,

As we love all three shows (we all at least I do) this is a great interview from Vince and nice to hear him talking so fondly of his time on The Lone Gunmen and his regret that the characters were killed. The blurb for this new interview with ifmagazine states..

The series creator talks about how the show works and what his 'LONE GUNMAN' characters would think of 'BAD' protagonist Walt White

So true! I haven't recovered from the blow that was the season 3 finale over a week ago! What a show! From the little show that could, in season 1, Breaking Bad has developed to one of my all-time favourites, up there with The Wire in non-genre shows! (and that's saying a lot!)

I've been reading several interviews with Vince since the finale, they're all excellent. There are frequent kudos to Chris Carter and to what Vince learned during his work with XF: the four-act structure, the importance of the teaser...

I totally agree, it is one of the best and original shows ever, and it proves that it can still be done. Let there still be TV, as well as TeeVee!

I will have to come back and check out that interview, thanks for posting Eth!

Breaking Bad is superb. It is by far and away the best example of writing on screen at the moment and Vince deserves all the accolades he has received for his work and I thank The Old Man for turning me on to it.

Thank you so much for the additional interviews Oro, just off to check them out.
