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

thinking abt mike wanting to kill lydia it occurred to me that hes prob too risk adverse to be in charge, tho tbf he is dealing a bunch of fools he never shouldve gotten involved w/in the first place

i like how walt was all

More Godfather 2 than Scarface now. Leasing a couple of new Chryslers isn't exactly the kingpin lifestyle, but there was a definite "it was a son, Michael" vibe to Skylar vowing to keep the kids away from Walt. "...until the cancer comes back" = icy icy cold.

I had to laugh at "wow it was only a year ago? Seems longer, doesn't it?"

lol yes

gotta say props to this show for getting even more fucked up than it already was

also i totally loled at sky's lackluster bacon 1, which she begrudgingly replaced after eagle eye flynn called her out on it

rip pontiac aztec

if I was skylar I would have thrown both plates at the wall and screamed HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY

but that wouldn't have been quite as tense

Has skylar worn only black this season? with exception of pool scene? 'blue is good' yo

If they've spent 5 seasons to get through a year, do you think they'll take one and a half to get through the next? Either they're going to have to do some major compression or we will be left with an ending where Walt drives off into the sunset with the 52 diner in the distance.

...which would be lame. I wonder how they will handle the time.

"it'll be clear sailing from here on out, i promise!"

LOLOLLOLOLOLLOLLOLOLOLOL

i'm anticipatin' a time jump at the end of the first block of eight episodes

I think so too. I think the last eight will be largely age 52.

yeah it's hard to fathom how we're going a year in 12 episodes. It adds a constant tension to the season much more successfully than the previous flash forwards. xp

ok this is going to be the worst birthday party ever

ya i really cant fathom how'd they'd break a year down into 12 separate pieces

"it was almost exactly one year ago that i got my diagnosis"

"seems like longer!"

ya i really cant fathom how'd they'd break a year down into 12 separate pieces

!!!!!!!!

what if you called it

Only 365 episodes left

maybe the last episode will end 2 weeks later in show time and the 52nd birthday was just a weird flash-forward epilogue

maybe it wasnt actually his birthday and he was just looking forward to his birthdya and what he would do on his birthday

holy shit

this is the darkest hole they've ever been down

maybe it wasnt actually his birthday and he was just looking forward to his birthdya and what he would do on his birthday

To be fair, this is probably how everyone's 50th, 51st and 52nd birthdays progress.

still bitter about failing the re-take on reading comprehension eh

Man, this episode was directed. It was like a Coen Bros. stage play.

rian johnson was the director!

Johnson did Fly too, for ppl who don't know

still bitter about failing the re-take on reading comprehension eh

SOUL PAINT

he's gone to a better place

i can't imagine having to wait a few days to see a new ep of a favorite show and thinking 'welp i guess i'll just read an online recap instead'

The sooner I can be apprised as to WHAT HAPPENED, the sooner I can check this thread to see what you guys have to say about it

rian johnson was the director!

Well, there we go. Director be directing.

tyrus' salt & pepper hair is tripping me up. i thought he was young...

i don't think we did this yet: http://flavourmachine.com/breaking/

Horrible and uncomfortable and amazing episode. Brief thoughts:

- Skylar's obviously thinking largely rationally about the situation but has completely discredited herself with Hank and Marie now, they really won't believe anything she says if she goes to the DEA.

- I've never really held with the drug mole in the DEA theory but Hank being promoted above the Fring investigation just as he was on the right track seemed... suspicious in its timing.

- Jesse is totally the one with all the power now and he doesn't realise it. Also Walt and Jesse's relationship is as good as it'll ever be and it's only going to be downhill from here.

Like if Mike saw that Lydia was enough of a liability to kill then he'll do the same thing to Walt (who is a similar liability) without thinking twice about it and it's only Jesse standing in the way.

Agreed

And I was pondering this too: Hank being promoted above the Fring investigation just as he was on the right track seemed... suspicious in its timing.

Not to mention the whole steez of new AZ DEA chief which if you saw him on the X-Files you'd be like OK, this guy is definitely in cahoots with Alpha Centauri

if the dea is in on it who is pulling the strings

and then why would the station chief be fired

there might be a mole in the DEA's office (though you'd like think Mike would be a little faster giving crazy exec lady the warning if that were the case) but to me it seems more likely political pressure is going to force Hank to close the case, as it's already such an embarassing situation for Fring to be so close to them, Hank's new boss already hinted they want this case to go away
