Shall we anticipate the FIFTH SEASON of the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

and Jesse probably saw it in Fight Club or something

lol @ sharp-eyed commenters

He idly arranges his bacon in a mirror-image snake pattern in honor of his inspiration, Thulsa Doom.

hahaha

Pretty good ep. I had a serious visceral creep out reaction to "I forgive you." God, Skyler, RUN girl! Also scene w/ Ted was wrenching with Skyler being horrified and then being like "Damn right you won't breathe a word." Woof.

I didn't really catch as much of the latter, but maybe that's because Gunn was kind of overselling the former.

I thought she sold the turn really well, actually. And I'm not normally a very big fan of her. Just the single "good" was so fucking cold. I loved it.

Yeah totally (though I like Gunn/Skyler).

I liked how they waited another two seasons before some meth head explained that you the pizzas are cheaper if you don't get them cut into slices.

Wait... what?

xp I gotta give Gunn credit for that, she sold both genuine concern turning into icy malice amazingly well, that I bought them both. Also used to hate Skyler but as a character she's gotta a lot more interesting the past couple of seasons.

The pizza he throws on the roof isn't sliced. If it had been, it would have gone in 12 different directions.

Later, last season, Badger or somebody at one of Jesse's meth parties explains that the pizza place gives you a discount for not having to slice it.

Pawnee, Ind., still uses AltaVista and apparently, Albuquerque has this thing with unsliced pizza (to cover a plot hole.)

i love that they apparently got just enough pedantic emails about that to cover their asses a whole year or two later

lol

I wonder how many pizza delivery places got calls the night that episode aired asking for discounted, unsliced pizzas.

there is an actual place in albuquerque that does this unsliced pizze iirc from a previous thread

Icey, it's a television show. there isn't really a place called albuquerque.

don't tell that to neil young!

Seriously, it takes what, 20 seconds to slice a pizza? Why would a restaurant give up revenue to save on something that doesn't appear to be all that labor-intensive.

its a gimmick

its real all real i know because i went there and there was a pizza on the roof

Just the single "good" was so fucking cold. I loved it.

OTMFM. If I had to pick just one word to represent the best of Anna Gunn's acting in this show, that would definitely be it.

i want jesse to be more than a punchline delivery device
i hope they increase his humanity, and soon

jesse is the most realistic person on tv

They can make token visits to the not-dead kid that Jesse likes, and his mom that Jesse may or may not be seeing.

I say this with all respect, and do not mean to start any kind of flaming, but Jesse is the show's most human character but a long way.

jesse being not very intelligent is his humanity! i actually love his character--he's a bruised sensitive soul surrounded by maniacs.

yeah that mom-and-kid plotline bores me -- i want to see him sitting around his house repairing shit or putting up a new shower curtain or something

I don't know, Badger seems pretty real

I enjoyed the fact that they were planning next steps at Jesse's house, which is now pretty clean, but still has eight foot tall speaker stacks

I crush on Jesse hard in every single incarnation the show has given him.

evidence room cop is the realest character on tv

Without Walt, Jesse would have just been a fuck-up, which is mostly a step down for him. He feels what's happening around him in a way that no one else does. Re-watch the episode where he talks about how he killed a "dog".

Tortoisey Von Headrest is the realest character on TV

The papasan chair kills me.

Walt was still very much in character when he jacked the electromagnet up to 11 just to make sure he did the job right. Walt being thorough is the cause of, and solution to, 90% of the show's problems.

i like it when jesse gets to do normal stuff and interact with people who are not walt -- it gives us a chance to see him in a different environment. like when he was shopping at home depot? i loved that part.

I'ma be so pissed if it turns out Jesse is just a figment of Walt's imagination.

What was your take on Jesse's plot arc with the next-door girlfriend?

I liked her, sorry about what happened. The scene in the car after the art museum was great.

^^^ So good.

I'm with Eric re: crushing on Jesse

That gif made me grin. I loved the enthusiasm, plus you know, the magnet was his idea! Of course he's pumped!

Yeah, loved that reaction so much, but, tbh, what was going through my head through that whole scene was, "fuckin' magnets, how do they work?'.

Just a really great 45 seconds or so:

Haaa jvc! me, too!

So walt turns 51 in a few weeks = exactly barack obama's age?

50 is starting to sound freakin awesome

My wife and I have a long-standing discussion about why men love magnets, prompted by watching the exclusively male fascination over a tub full of "natural volcanic magnetic rock" at an airport gift store in Costa Rica. Like, every dude that passed by, whether "he" was a guy in business attire or an eco-hippy or a 5 year-old kid would stop and play with the magnets, while women seemed resolutely uninterested in them. Anyway, this episode kind of made our point for us. I still think magnets are great.

maybe guys are made of metal
