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

Did anyone get what Hank saw in the photos of Mike during the DEA meeting?

those were photos of the lawyer, not Mike

Mike was in all those photos, iirc?

the last one Hank lingered on was a picture of Mike at that diner where Mike met Lydia, but I didn't see anything in the photo to indicate that Hank could connect those dots. but maybe he just had a brainstorm about the lawyer? I dunno.

oh sorry I was thinking of the photos pasted up on that board in Hank's office

i think hank was just determined to see some clue that wasn't there.

(for a few seconds at the beginning of that scene i thought it was saul on the video screen, i had no idea what was happening.)

he may have seen a car in the parking lot?

First photo that he kind of ignores:

Second photo that he kind of lingers on:

Third photo that he really lingers on as ambient soundbed swells:

I don't know, its totally possible he's just looking for clues that aren't there. But remember, this is the guy who figured out that Gus Fring had a meth lab hidden beneath a laundromat, pretty much based on a hunch and the electrical hookups.

there's white crosses in all 3 pics. Hank is just thinking for a minute about all the good things Jesus has done for him

although the way the raid was staged seemed a little implausible, that moment when mike decided to abandon his granddaughter in the park was a powerful one

I felt so sad for Mike at the playground...part of me wanted so bad for him to risk saying goodbye to her.

is that third photo anywhere we should know? i don't think it's the place he met lydia.

third photo is the Cake Shop in Brooklyn. Mike was a hipster and Hank was building an air-tight case against him

i assumed it was the diner.

how did Mike get from the playground to the airport

cops were on his car, had him surrounded etc

he walked away fromt he playground to the place where his getaway car was stashed

the cops were on his car but didn't have him surrounded, he was hiding behind a tree (which suggests there was a way out behind him.)

he was hiding behind a tree (which suggests there was a way out behind him.)

so he climbed a tree into a magical getaway car (which looks suspiciously identical to his actual car that the police were standing by) and flew to the airport

when he was behind the tree he turned around and saw cops coming from the other direction (ie from behind him) so yeah idgi

i don't want to ride the nerd train to details town too much here but my guess is he was not in fact actually surrounded and it was a different car.

i am happy to accept that mike is a better magic crime guy than i am.

prediction: jesse kills walt, marries skyler, has face torn off by chimp.

calling it now:

baby shoots Walt

really, really hoping all this baby talk is gonna be way off the mark

for this show... too easy

lol it was a totally different car mr veracity

goddamnit when is Walt gonna say what the fuck and try his own product? Has he ever drank a Coca-cola?

it's possible that all boxy black 4-door sedans look alike to me

xp

Coke Inc. can't be too thrilled that their product got compared to meth last night.

ya but it was the best meth

counterpoint: crystal pepsi

btw theres no way this declan guy is planning on honoring his deal w/walt is there

Anyone care to speculate about what Walt is gonna use the big gun for?

kill a bunch of doods

I don't even know what kind of gun it was. Is it a sniper rifle or heavy ammo or what.

it's an M60 machine gun

On the contrary, WmC, I think Walt's sine qua non suggestion made Coke look pretty good, all things considered. I wouldn't imagine many Breaking Bad fans who've made it all the way to season 5 would boycott Coke based on an illicit analogy, and I wouldn't be surprised to see some product placement in a later episode.

Ctrl+F "Skylar". Common misspelling makes her name look like a space shuttle. xxxxxpost

offhand I would say an M60 is likely to be used to kill multiple people, it's not a sniper rifle or a close-range weapon.

it's also a pretty difficult weapon for just one person to use

the other cops were also in front of him and the airport car was a different colour

This.

Ellingon, too.

less calculated mastermind, more 'i have a gun and im furious with this guy'

seemed like some part of walt was planning to shoot mike from the get-go. driven by saul's warning that mike would roll on them if he got nabbed, plus the possibility that walt realized the only reason mike wasn't already in DEA custody was total chance. he took the gun out of the holster for a reason.

preparing myself for next weeks cold open with walt n todd painstakingly dismantling mike's car

imo, walt was planning to threaten mike with the gun to get the names. but he couldn't bring himself. but mike made him mad and he did something crazy

Walt is a horrible person!

"Goin' Down" was a brilliant choice!

Okay bye!

I feel bad that Mike's dying emotion was yet more irritation with Walt.

Yeah. The Curb Your Enthusiasm music on blackout would have worked even better with this episode, something tremendously comic about how thoroughly Walt fucks everything up

I'm addicted to this show, but I'm only on season 1!!!

stay out of this thread you fool!
