Shall we anticpate the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

^exactly! Paul nailed the mix pretty much perfectly.

Also, the second speech WAS pretty righteous - Jesse in his Cap'n Cook days didn't have people constantly trying to kill him, he wasn't being put in the hospital after being severely beaten because of Walt (this is the second time!), he was just a small fry and likely would've continued to be a petty criminal cooking chili meth. He had no Scarface aspirations until Walt showed up. True, at least he's clean now, but he's also closer than ever to getting killed by cartel goons and going to jail for decades.

i was fine with the second speech. The first one just was so longgggggggg. We get it, you're gonna make things tough on Hank.

and his crusty ass.

just rewatching this. agree with too long on the first speech. i see the reasoning about jesse overdoing it for a reason, savoring the upper hand and all. i could maybe even see the dialogue working with a different delivery -- i just didn't buy it. if anything he was too verbose and collected. odenkirk's reaction was perfect though!

loved walt countering skyler's "hank's your family" line with "not currently." and i also learned that women who like to get peed on are always from the warmer climates.

man sometimes i forget the subtext for pretty much every conversation walt has had with jesse this season is letting jane die. i wonder if jesse will ever find out. watch your crusty ass, walt.

i hope jesse, hank, and the surviving twin don't all end up in the hospital together next ep. but then i kinda do

one problem I wondered about is the logistics of jesse cooking at Gus's meth HQ. Surely he'll be tailed by the DEA at all times? And if they follow him to the HQ, they're bound to see Walt and connect them both to Gus.

surviving twin - ??

Assuming you're not talking about the dude whose cranium we were treated to an overhead interior shot of, you must be referring to the one whose torso was basically sectioned in half by Hank's truck? I can't see him walking away from that, unless, of course, you know something I don't..

He probably knows that the preview for next week's ep shows the surviving twin with menacing glare ripping out his IV.

that was driving me nuts, I couldn't remember where I'd seen the gun seller before: he's one of the creepy twins from Always Sunny in Philadelphia!

MacPoyls! Yeah I shouldn't have inquired abt the twin - there is a reason I skip the previews.

that scene with him and marie on the bed was fucking amazing.

this is 100%. its like hes the first honest & ethical person in the show

that's why it seemed totally imminent was he going to die!

i dont know, that would have been pretty cheap, to cut the audience out seconds after giving them a character worth investing in (finally!) I mean i could understand w/ a longer arc, but that would have been super tacky in literally the next major scene

how did i not see this:

lmao @ 'office webcam' -- "francesca ... find a better video poker app for me. one thats more fair."

oh that badger!!

Enjoying this season loads, but it hasn't topped 2 for me yet.

man gustavo is a g

ok - at first i thought Gus was getting rid of the twins because he wanted to keep Walt around - but this is a little ott!
i would hope he had been planning all this stuff for a while, regardless of the Walt situation.

i like gus's "now shake my hand and thank me"

lol @ s'all good man

Jesse was flat out hilarious this episode.

this show has made me wanna finish a phone call by ripping my cell in half so bad

^^^^^otm

why did walter not suspect jesse had something to do w/hank's getting shot?

maybe cuz he looooooves jessie?

walt surprisingly quickly picked up the connection b/w Tuco and the cousins. also it's not like Jesse has the connections or brains to pull that off

Does Gus realize that Walt's hired the same guy that Hank beat up?

I mean he must, right? But won't that connection endanger his operation?

Gus is so ahead of everybody in this game, that's why there was that assumption that Gale was planted to eventually replace Walt in the meth factory. Surely Gus knows about Jesse and how unstable he is, and probably has reasons for allowing Walt this much leeway for now (compared to his opinion of Jesse from last season), though maybe since Jesse is clean now he's more lenient. Or plans to kill them both anyway, who knows?

gus knows

Right - I totally forgot about Gus meeting Jesse at the restaurant in season 2.

not really feelin the skyler/walt detente in the hospital waiting room, but the character development with hank and marie this season has been a+

loved the fryer's eye view of gus taking the call from the cartel boss too - it gets said, but seriously some of the best direction and set design anywhere on tv

this season so far is four not so great episodes and three great ones
i like where we're going here

it's like all shiny up in here!

Wow it's like Walt is just addicted to lying.

good ep...i guess walt is safe for now.

totally kafkaesque... majorly

i loved the moment where they both leaned in to hear skyler's story of WALT GAMBLOR THE MASTER GAMBLER

Yes!

yeah that was hilarious

scene with Badger and Skinny Pete at the recovery meeting was evil!

"stay strong bro"

Sober Jesse's way more petulant and downright nasty than fucked-up Jesse, huh?

felt like a callout to the dickensian aspect, which made it funnier if anything.

getting bored with jesse
