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

ok - so that fucking CNN piece did the same thing everyone here was doing when Walt "Let Jane die".
he had previously handed Jesse a gun and told him to take care of the guys the ripped them off. literally ordered him to kill some people. but everyone flew off the handle later on, when he watched this attractive young girl choke to death on her own vomit; saying that he had "gone too far" and yadda yadda.

just a thing that always bothered me about peoples reaction to this show - letting an attractive girl die is in no way worse than ordering the murder of two junkies, people!

"the guys that ripped them off"

really wish this show never did a musical montage

Q: (and who the fuck has that kind of james bond thought process to zap yourself with a defibrillator under your tongue? dude prolly shoulda just jumped off the roof but I guess that's less compelling tv)

ha ha, that was the answer in my head too!

for a second I was trying to remember when the cast broke into song

xps

of all the big HBO/AMC shows from the past decade or so i think only The Sopranos was really adept at using music

and yet The Sopranos had the worst theme song of them all

you had the worst...etc

you woke up this morning and forgot yourself a zing

I grow to love even the mot horrible theme songs if I love the show

not me, i'm like "this again? really?" every time

all that time on the IA thread I thought *I* was the grump

:)

The Sopranos theme worked because it was exactly the dumb kind of edgy song some mobster would pick as his show open.

Used to goose sunny at the end when it would do the whip-pow! thing.

The Wire had the best theme music

i wasnt super crazy about the cold open cuz it was so obv the guy was gonna kill himself in some inventive breaking bad way, i kept thinking, the only way this scene is gonna surprise me is if he doesnt do it

Terriers had the best theme song of the past few years

I love the Terriers theme song. I liked John from Cincinnati's better, but that one was kind of cheating.

is this the Terriers theme song?

sadly no, but I think "Gunfight Symphony" is an able replacement

Wow, Thermo. Thanks for new avatar!

At this point basically everyone needs to go to jail except Walt Jr., and even then, they should send him to useless character jail. It almost seemed like an in joke when they made a point of showing that he .... DID NOT FINISH HIS BREAKFAST

uh, wasnt that a shot of skylar's breakfast, the point being she still hadnt left her bedrest?

That's how I read it s1ocki.

yup

Who pours the milk onto cereal served for someone still in bed?

also did skylar not have a single line of dialogue this ep? kind of awesome if so

a drug dealer?? i think we've already established that walter white is not a reasonable "good" guy

I don't know, who around their table might be really stupid and presumptive and never think about the consequences of their actions?

I am the one who pours

Once again Walt's last interaction w/ Skyler was off the creep-o-meter. Yuck yuck yuck yuck.

Anyway they seem to be setting up Walt and Skylar as adversaries for this season with Saul in the middle. Once Hank's rehabilitation is through (and this seems to be happening very quickly) does Skylar have any reason to continue receiving drug money?

the way they snapped to black in the middle of her inhalation was fuckin fuhreaky

its prob not easy for anyone to stop receiving huge amounts of money

they've really throttled down the NEED for money; seems like the carwash provides enough where walt really could just pay jessie in installments and call it a day. also: except for the HARBINGER OF DOOM cold opening on ep 1, cancer is nowhere to be seen

didn't Walt say he was broke in this episode?

nah, he said he was 40k in the hole to jessie; i feel fairly certain he's not thinking about the car wash. that's SKYLAR'S money now and it doesn't count

* jesse

Car wash probably doesn't actually make that much money, it's for laundering purposes really, certainly not enough to justify a year or two of abject hell and life threatening situations.

But it's not really about the money at this point.

i think the net profits from the car wash were discussed in a previous season (definitely when Sky was negotiating w/the former owner), and i think they were higher than the Walt's pre-meth income

hope we're treated to a fun montage set to this sometime this season!

I have images off but I hope it's Yakety Sax.

You're totally right about the breakfast cereal. Though surely someone has put together a compendium of Walt Jr. eating breakfast then leaving the table.

i just typed walt jr into youtube search and the first thing in the pulldown bar was 'walt jr breakfast'

yeah but you're into some real weird porn so

I'm not going to turn this into tumblr, but the Breaking Bad MS Paint comics are hilarious.

Does the car wash seem like the most likely location for Walt and Jesse's new meth lab? Is this possible? It would implicate Skyler majorly.

Also, Lydia's body language during the meeting with the DEA was a pretty strong tell, particularly the way she looked at the Madrigal CEO or President or whatever following the 'alleged' comment. I read it as: ok, the Madrigral boss is definitely involved and possibly the terrifying heart of the Fring operation.

And I've been really loving and noticing the hairstyles.
