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

Just wait until Walt gets chased down by a polar bear. I know, in New Mexico!? WTF, right?

treating like a bitch over a drug deal is fine because hes not going to go running to daddy - but if you murder him its another story

if you murder him he'll go running to daddy - this is scary

gus is the table

Augusto Pinochet is Walt Jr's spirit animal

Hearty LOL

i don't remember anything about gus having some hinted to military past.

In the flashback episode with Tio and the cousins last season, Tio called him "generalissimo" or something, on the phone.

yeah tracer but jesse always calls walt mr. white and walt isn't *actually* white

And Skylar isn't ~actually~ blue

But Marie is purple.

Giancarlo Esposito mentioned this in the avclub interview about Fring's past:

There are still many unanswered questions, and some of the clues to that are Don Eladio [the cartel kingpin], who says, “I know who you are,” and the whole reason they can’t take him out is the whole reference to him being part of the Chilean Pinochet Government.

welp

I get "Erotic City" stuck in my head a lot while watching Breaking Bad ("All my purple life...").

Eh, but in contemporary (show) context, Gus' past has little to no bearing, let alone if he was part of the Pinochet regime. Though even in the context of the era flashed back to, why would the head of a Mexican drug cartel have issues with taking out a fringe member of the Pinochet regime?

There are still many unanswered questions

the fring member of the pinochet regime thing is wack

your mom is wack

gus fringochet

a fring member of the pinochet regime

fringber of the gusochet fregime

Well, I mean Fring is a German last name... Gus is probably... descended from Nazis. Nazi crank.

your mom was a member of the pinochet regime

your mom can't remember which penis she's relieved

your mom's penis doesn't get any relief

this thread has certainly taken a turn

your mom's penis doesn't get any relief

I'm sad to miss the final episode as I am away til the end of next week hope you guys can work it all out without my help

i'll let you know if hank winks in a special way to let us know that he's onto walt

I'm still working on what swimming pools are a metaphor for, exactly.

hitler's germany and/or blue meth obvs

The first minute or so of the finale is up on Seppinwall's blog if anyone's really jonesing for a fix. Nothing actually happens though

i'm jonesing for a fix of nothing.

Fuck bathtubs, man. Bathtubs are for poor white trash. Walt is going to start cooking meth in the swimming pool.

love the magnet bit!

awesome one minute!

i think mike's gonna show up like marky mark at the end of the departed and off someone. BUT WHO?

yeah mike in play good call

or maybe mike being out of commission is a plot point

how long has it been since he got shot

2-3 days I think

The teaser is like, "Ok, so what is the first sentence Walt speaks?" Nothing really happens in that clip. As I had been warned.

Revisiting the last three or four episodes, I think mt favorite senteces that Walter speaks are when he's on the floor, and Jesse has a gun to him, and he explains what Gus is doing, and says, "Think about it! It's BRILLIANT!"

Props where they're due.

how about the little barrel circle mark in walt's forehead? i really dug that.

i saw that barrel mark and just thought "wow, that's commitment"

I love the way that at beginning of the back and forth over Jesse, I thought Walt and Gus were both trying to use him as a pawn. It obvious now that he can be used as a knight, and Gus knew it long before Walt did. Think about it. It's brilliant!

I seriously doubt we're going to see any dead Gus on Sunday.

Not after (from Jenny's link): "On March 21, 1990 members of the leftist guerrilla group, the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front, broke into Leigh's office and opened fire at him. Five bullets hit his body. Other than the loss of an eye, he was able to make a complete recovery." No Gus is doomed to live a long unhappy life, just like Hector. He will wind up at the end being able to do nothing but twist his face in a drooling rictus of hate. Walt will win the battles, but he won't kill Gus. That said, it is imperative to the moral core of the series that Walt, through actions he set in motion but can't see coming, kills himself.

Or at least suffers some sort of ironic humiliation, Henry Hill-style. But I think that's far too good for Walt. No, he has to die, and is has to be done tasty. (To appropriate Cronenberg.)

And by the way, the constantly looming henchman who has replaced Victor, the dude who tazed Walt, is a bad bit of casting, IMO. He can't stop looking like one of Madonna's backup dancers, no matter what he does.
