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

tbf that's easily as bad as anything walt white has done

i might've gone w/ 'jesse is a murderer and meth cook/dealer - he is not a better person than walt white' myself, but 'jesse bought a house in a buyer's market', potato potahto.

i think basically everybody on this show is kind of a shitty person
deadwood had more likeable types

i still like skylar

I like every episode of this series. This is just good good stuff, even if at least half of this one had me mystified at why they were showing so much puttering around at the carwash, so much slow, glacial manoeuvring, etc.

skylar was great for my money, jesse is getting more detailed as a character, mike was even great just being in the background for like five minutes.

Skylar's schtick was a+++
I like how that storyline came back in with potentially diasterous consequences.

haha there was one bit of Mike's dialogue to Jesse that was such pitch-perfect old-school hollywood tough talk, can't remember what it was now but it reminded me of the cop in Sweet Smell of Success who yells up to the Tony Curtis character - "Hey Sidney, come back! I wanna chastise ya!"

also, remember what Jesse did to his family. (Not just his mom + dad - his brother lived there too.) Jesse is not a better person than Walt in any way, he's just moderately more likable.

Not to Jesse, but when Mike told Walt if he called the cops on one of his guys again, he was going to need two barrels, I did a little fist pump yesssss on the couch.

yeah Mike was just killin it. he must thrive under pressure.

FUCK YOU I'M AN ANTEATER

Mike can do no wrong IMO, he just has such presence.

I know he's never killed anyone and dissolved their body in acid or manufactured industrial strength quantities of highly addictive poison or ordered the murder of a child but seriously Ted is the worst human being in this.

Nah

It's probably only being a bit rubbish that prevents him from doing it.

next time dont stand there like an idiot, move yr feet run and so forth

A BIT rubbish?? The guy waits until the day before an audit that could land him in prison for the rest of his life to even seek out help..

When he called Sky a "carwash cashier" it was breathtaking. But I immediately sort of mentally rubbed my hands with glee wondering how she was going to make him pay.

haha yes cr?m - it was exactly the "and so forth" that I was thinking of there

love watching him mull over giving advice against his better judgement to this no account fool

I'm loving Hank and Walt's little drives together. Hank doing Eye of the Tiger was hilarious.

listen, kid

what's interesting is how the more walt tries to think of himself as some kind of criminal kingpin, the more petty, narcissistic and small he seems

This is so OTM. Gus and Mike so obviously have minimal interest in getting revenge on Walt and it's all that Walt thinks about. I doubt they'd be turning him over to the cartel unless they absolutely had to - assuming that's what they're planning, we don't really know.

Reckon Skylar is going to turn over that $650k to Ted in self-preservation only for Walt to suddenly and urgently need it for something.

thats like three weeks pay for walt tho

Maybe, but how much has he got readily available at short notice, rather than tied up in car wash/paying Hank's medical bills?

"You open your mouth one more time, I'm gonna have to remonstrate with you."

Walt needs to be careful, cigarettes is a gateway drug to meth and huffing gas.

there are literal millions in vacuum bags under the floorboards in Skylar's house. the problem is going to be Ted asking questions about where the money came from if she gives it to him.

surely $650k outta nowhere doesn't exactly clear up accounting discrepancies

No I think it does. Fines + back taxes. Incompetence, not criminality.

Anybody else get the sense that the "send Jesse to Mexico" plan is a load of horseshit?

Skyler telling Ted to sell the BMW and then cut to Ted starting up his Ford Festiva or whatever was pretty great.

Broke my heart when she told Walt they were making enough profit that he could quit his second job.

Anybody else get the sense that the "send Jesse to Mexico" plan is a load of horseshit?

no, it was apparent the other week at the Cartel meeting that what they wanted was Walt. remember he was meant to go and work in their bunker in the jungle a couple of years ago, before Gus decided to cut the cartel out.

well those dudes are going to be a little disappointed when X-Box McGee shows up

which surely Gus knows, as he also knows Jesse is going to come to Walt for help about this supposed plan

Xbox McGee!!!

Even if Skyler gives Ted $650K, problem's not solved. Don't banks have to report large cash transactions? And he can't exactly go to the IRS with bricks of crisp fifties.

yeah one might say surely $650k outta nowhere doesn't exactly clear up accounting discrepancies

heh...yeah, sorry, conrad otm

On the other hand this is a world where people are stupid enough to fall for Skylar's airhead routine.

i was expecting her to bust out a cigarette again, but she let me down

calls a number of walt

Jeez ever heard of a spoiler alert?!

Actually this dialogue captures Jesse's voice pretty accurately.

lol wait were u reading a jpg of what pretends to be an unreleased script and you didn't expect spoilers?

its just the ways it is

to be continue?

that leaked script thing is like The Internet Justified, 2011
