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

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.

I have the same problem IRL

I'm debating whether to type "lol" in lowercase or uppercase, because I fear uppercase might be a bit rude.

If Mike was around now Walt and his family would be fucked pure and simple.

yeah he'd kill hank and marie and skylar and walt jr. and holly and all those dea guys and saul and ted and badger and gus and jesse

And General Pinochet.

can't wait for season 5's buddy comedy of manners starring badger and huell

lol @ buddy comedy of manners

Well, I mean Fring is a German last name...

it's also french fries + onion rings. because he's in fast food you see.

The obvious logical endpoint of all this is that Jesse kills Walt, and ends up back on the corner slinging street-grade crud. And that Gus is gunned down by a little kid bro of someone he offed long ago.

Skyler can enter witness protection or something, who cares about her. Am I right that she's only met Jesse that one time, in the first season?

Anticipating.

i feel a little nervous about it tbh

I got Gus -7 so I hope he covers the spread

haha

I think he'll cover it like a motherfucker.

But I will be very surprised if he kills Walt, or if Walt kills him.
