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

so the crime part of breaking bad is now Walt and Mike bickering while Jesse finally interrupts with a brilliant idea. Maybe it will all come together and seem right at the end but I think I would have been happier with Mike coming back for 501 only with maybe a few cryptic warnings and Walt, Jesse and Saul figuring out how to reestablish.

the closing ten minutes was i think the tensest the show's been, alongside when hank was trying to get to walt and jesse in the rv. despite the unlikeliness of it i was sure jesse was getting squished.

i'm guessing that the crime team dynamic will be changing a little now, don't think that mike would be one for letting walt almost killing jesse and todd slide, and jesse and todd may not be too pleased when they find out about it either. also, todd is a psycho.

did seem sort of unlikely that JEsse would bust out two mind blowing plans one after the other.

I can buy it. Fear of going to a dark(er) place kicked his higher brain functions into gear. I don't think Jesse would ever admit as much to himself, but he's not stupid.

Also, yes: you get creative in the service of trying to make mommy and daddy stop shouting at each other.

lol

Just listening to the BTCE Bryan Cranston interview:

BC: "We promised from the beginning we are going to take a character and change him from a good guy to a bad guy. That's what we promised. And we also promised he only has 2 years to live"

I guess this puts to rest my feeling that Walt was somehow coming out of this alive.

Readjusted end of series Dead or Alive predictions:

Walt - Dead. Probably Jesse's doing.
Skyler - Dead. Not sure but doubt it will be Walt himself. Maybe someone walt paid?
Jesse - Alive and prob out of the biz
Mike - Dead
Hank - Alive
Marie - Alive
Walt Jr - Alive
Holly - Alive and raised a Schrader
Saul - Not sure yet but prob alive

oh Gomie - Dead

Things will really get awkward I bet when Landry shoots Brock.

RAISED A SCHRADER

*awkward*

everyone stares at their shoes, slightly embarrassed, as Brock's brains slide off the wall. Mike sing songs "Awwwwkward".

Maybe Brock and Lydia's kid will hook up in the future and make meth out of soybeans.

Hope Gomie doesn't die, but frankly I'm surprised he's survived even this long as both the well-meaning if unimportant cop sidekick AND as a minority character on this show

I hear he's going to retire in two weeks and sail the world with his wife.

too old for this shit, iirc

:O

god dammit landry

yeah this was another san andreas mission episode

"What's the matter, Hank, that desk job get you soft? You've never seen a man's butt sewn to the back of an armadi ––– KABOOM.

at the cold open when the kid was looking around in the dunes, I thought he had found hank's head strapped to the back of a tortoise

I always wonder if Hank knows more than he's letting on about what Walt has been up to for the past year.

I also thought, no way a moving freight train can see a guy waving at them on the tracks and stop in time to avoid hitting whatever they're waving about.

They might be able to see the truck though.

But it seemed like they were coming around a turn that was blocked by some trees, so it would've been even harder.

if hank knew something about walt, walt would have been busted already. Gus is gone and people are getting killed, there'd be no reason to wait it out.

I'm starting to think Hank is never going to find out about Walt's secret life via investigative means. He'll get close, but it just seems too pat from a dramatic standpoint. After all of his hard work, he'll probably discover Heisenberg's identity from Marie or something.

Yeah totally
Horrible end to this episode :(

Yeah.

But it did prove the point that we're rooting for some horrible people.

they havent really set up todd as horrible person though is the thing, more like a (worryingly) dopey puppy henchman

the point it proves is that skyler was right basically

We just got home and there was a GREEN AZTEC PARKED IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE

I went back to take a photo & it was gone ;_;

It's so depressing that I was a) excited enought to take a photo & then b) bummed out

Check your roof for pizza

fuck that, check under the floor for hidden cash

But it did prove the point that we're rooting for some horrible people.

I'm interested to see how the house of cards comes down, but I can't say I have a rooting interest in anybody on this show. The kids, I guess. Maybe Hank, though he makes my teeth grind.

Not much to do with this episode specifically but it's weird how divorced these three guys are from the actual operation of distribution. They make all this meth and it magically gets sold. They don't even think about the misery that it causes, or seem to have to deal with the street-level operations at all. How does Mike do that stuff? Who is distributing? How are they distributing?

NO BOB BARKER NO

lol nice

How does Mike do that stuff? Who is distributing? How are they distributing?

Mike is magic crime guy, I figure he just knows a load of low key mid-level dealers or whatever. Probably inherited some off Gus.

"magic crime guy" is right.

fuckin TODD

skyler was right basically

yeah. amazingly it seems like walt even comes around to, if not exactly agree, not disagree either. that or when she said "i'll be whatever kind of partner you want" all his power pleasure ganglia started firing at once and he couldn't resist going along with it, for the moment at least

brilliant moment keyed off the soundtrack to reveal the kid on the bike; shutting off the generator, there's still an engine on somewhere.. eek

"The point is, no one, other than us, can ever know that this robbery went down. Nobody. Got it?" -Jesse
"Yeah, absolutely." -Todd
"Are you sure?" -Walt
"Yes, sir." -Todd

All this time I thought that Todd was a criminal-in-training when it turns out he was a meth-criminal-in-training who could give criminal-for-real lessons to Walt and Jesse

holy shit the ending of this episode was an INCREDIBLE bonerkill.

jesse screaming "nooooo" kinda echoed in my head, it was awesome

I can buy it. Fear of going to a dark(er) place kicked his higher brain functions into gear. I don't think Jesse would ever admit as much to himself, but he's not stupid.

i was starting to think that maybe jesse is the smartest one, or at least the one with the most 'potential' of the three stooges

Flynn!!

We don't know if the kid is dead, which in many ways sets up an even larger quandary. Regardless, no doubt Jesse will snap (again) and join Skyler in the coalition of the shellshocked, In fact, I wonder if Skyler and Jesse will ever cross paths again.

the teaser for next week made it pretty clear the kid is dead

ya, i didn't need to see the preview to know he was toast.

Won't anyone think of the poor spider?
