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

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.

"freakin internet. find anything on it these days"

Dying at Hector using his first message to tell Hank to suck his dick

I figured they were going to use Hector as a dude to drop a dime on Gus, but he's not a snitch. It'll make Gus go visit him, though...

mid-ep prediction. gus wears a vest, hector has a bomb wired to his dinger, and blows himself up but fails to kill gus. gus survives to next season, but is stuck in a chair and has to communicate stephen hawking-style

old lady "hi, hello" re: walt is the fucking funniest thing

WHOA EVEN BETTER

walking dead crossover gus fring is a zombie

I just witnessed the birth of one million .gifs

Nice tie-in with the zombie show

btw, the actor who has played Hector (and many other roles I've seen over the years) is amazing. The fury in his eyes just then... so good.

most of this ep ive pictured as his emmy clips 4 next yr tbh

I thought gus walking out was really lame, smelled like writers brainstorming and not checking their impulses..."what if he WALKS OUT, STRAIGHTENS HIS TIE, and then falls down?" "oh yeah Gus would totally do that!" yes, he would. if he hadn't just survived an explosion.

*_O

but this ep was almost all "no, that wouldn't happen, either" shit

yeah, this is mostly character grandstanding so far. except for hank, he's just our hero

can picture the gif of fonzi surf jumping over zombie gus and probably agree w it

walt is now the don btw

the best part is that hector didn't have to snitch -- gus getting blown up by him is a big giveaway that something is shady

when did walt switch to a yaris?

oh jesus christ you guys were right about the gun pointing at the plant

walt is pure evil!

same time he put on this green shirt

hasn't he had a pontiac aztek or something ridiculous for seasons? it was obvious they had no car sponsor since that's a completely defunct auto

The Aztek got wrecked when he had to create a diversion to keep from going to the laundry with Hank.

Damn, zombie Gus!

thats what he drove out of hte desert after gus threatened him iirc xp

lol I thought the season was over at the explosion
