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

They're all different flavors of scum

Mike's code of honor is simply self-preservation imho

I do think Jesse's affinity for children/childlike character has been one of the more nuanced arcs in the show

his rent-a-family, his disowning of his own parents, his need for Walt as a father figure, his sentimentality about any child that crosses his path - all really well done

Mike's code of honor is simply self-preservation imho

Nah, If this were true he would have OK'd the murder of all his men on the inside. Or killed Lydia. Or been prepared to screw over his granddaughter.

Self-preservation c/o "Heat:" "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."

Lydia stood to help him make more money. and I figure it's probably more expensive/difficult to kill all those guys on the inside than it is to just pay them off and keep them useful but I dunno maybe I missed something. the granddaughter thing is strictly sentimentality though. I don't think it's a mark of honor to feel sentimental about your own flesh and blood really...

Walt sure doesn't!

as far as not cheating goes, a lack of free time plays into it, also wearing sunglasses AND heisenberg hat AND glowering menacingly in his ok cupid profile probably didn't help

Does Jesse have a money-laundering method, or is he just accumulating cash?

remember when walt made a move on the school principal? he isn't exactly smooth with the ladies.

I actually do like to think this and think of Mike's weariness as his best quality.

It is without a doubt his best facial expression.

It is without a doubt his best only facial expression.

when i was in high school there was this sub/detention monitor and everyone called him sad dog (who's the sub for ms johnson today? who else, sad dog)
mike reminds me of him

Mike is the only one in this show who knows how the story ends.

(pretty much everybody on the show is loathsome with the exception of Junior)

fuck Flynn, snotty little shit

PRESS B TO EAT BREAKFAST

Yeah, I hate Flynn. He's, like, half golly gee and half bratty teen. And he puts empty cereal boxes back in the cabinet without telling anyone he's finished them, the jerk.

siap

think Saul was laundering Jesse's money iirc

LOL @ Mentos commercial.

think Saul was laundering Jesse's money iirc

Jesse blew him off when Saul tried to get him to invest in the beauty salon, so I dunno about this

Here's a listicle with a lot of good observations and a few predictions:

http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2012/08/breaking-bad-allusions/

The Holly-always-in-pink thing is interesting.

Walt was always cutting off his own crusts - watching Crazy 8 tear off his own momentarily humanized him in Walt's eyes. IIRC.

I have now come across the Holly-is-going-to-die theory in several places, not least that crazy prominent spitball in the New Yorker:

The audience now waits along with Skyler, as the narrative builds toward a finale in which anything might happen, since there will be no need to keep us watching. (A baby might die, for instance, maybe by swallowing the ricin pellet that’s tucked away in the Whites’ home.)

Does that link there note that several viewers insist Walt was wearing a wire in the season premiere?

i am not sure we care enough / remember enough about holly's existence to care about her dying. but we'll see.

and, that ricin pellet is comprehensively tucked away! in a sealed pack screwed behind an electrical socket!

good listicle, nonetheless

and, that ricin pellet is comprehensively tucked away! in a sealed pack screwed behind an electrical socket!

Because we all know early crawlers never have a thing for electrical sockets ...

Don't get these crazy people started.

remember when walt made a move on the school principal? he isn't exactly smooth with the ladies.

He was trying to get fired. Do you really think he was trying to fuck her out of the blue and just hasn't bothered to try it with any woman since?

if he was trying to get fired I guess that was a win/win play then

i don't remember how that transpired - why was Walt trying to get fired?

it happened in the past year, how can you not remember?

(srs this is why i hate him just turning 51 for four years of storylines. i also can't remember obv.)

He was trying to get fired.

Plausible but debatable.

Don't get these crazy people started.

Spanx?

Walt hasn't interacted with any women as hot as the principal in the last year iirc

Walt was kind of a rudderless mess around the time of the principal pass - he was trying to fuck her, he wasn't thinking calculatedly enough at the time. It was less 'trying to be fired' and more 'not caring whether or not he was fired'.

I don't remember that at all. I feel like this programme has been on forever.

i am not sure we care enough / remember enough about holly's existence to care about her dying. but we'll see.

er killing a baby in a piece of fiction tends to get an emotional reaction out of the audience no matter what, especially if it's the child of major characters. you gotta be a cold motherfucker to go "well she didn't have enough screentime for me to care -- she never had ONE memorable line of dialogue!"

Those baby geniuses from Baby Geniuses had some memorable lines

"Something or other about 'diaper gravy'" - that one baby genius

ALL TIME

you gotta be a cold motherfucker to go "well she didn't have enough screentime for me to care -- she never had ONE memorable line of dialogue!"

have you seen this thing called the internet?

i realize that cold motherfuckers exist, yes

Looks like Badger's gonna be on AfterMASH that Office spinoff featuring Dwight. Hopefully they'll include all of those episodes as a bonus disc in the Office complete series DVD set when both shows end next year. He deserves to get some sweet derivative checks for a while.

mike all smh

why did those guys need to know that jesse was the second best cook?
