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

let's see 'em

hey I watched this whole series in like the last month, it was like an episode to episode thing

but I did call Mike's murder at the beginning of this most recent episode. I called Fring killing Victor, and Walt using Salamanca to kill Fring. And the kid shooting Combo. And Jesse's girlfriend dying (altho not the manner in which she died). I did not call Walt running over those two dealers, that was probably the biggest surprise moment/WTF to me.

but I have no internet trail to prove this sorry

^this is the post i want to start the Breaking Bad Prognosticator thread

this show really just does not strike me as remarkably unpredictable. no one can guess what's going to happen in the next episode? really?

Walt hatches plan to whack Mike's 9 dudes on the inside. things go wrong. Hank inches closer to discovering Walt, finds some random piece of evidence from Mike's murder or the kid's disappearance that could potentially lead him to Walt. Lydia probably gets murdered.

I've been watching the entire series over the past month as well - so I hadn't seen the Saul website before. I heard the show was very good but the first time I went to check it out, I flipped on AMC and caught the @)!#* BOX CUTTER scene with no context whatsoever and after that happened, figured I should really try something else, it seemed way too grim

I totally predicted he would kill someone with a box cutter that episode.

Gus will kill someone with a box cutter.

And you all made fun of me.

brock

that was another thing I don't get, how did Walt poison that kid exactly? was this covered in this season's premier (which I missed?)

it's a mystery, but my bold prognostication is that he used a hypodermic needle and a Capri Sun

I don't think it was ever explained? probably so that it can be explained this season & Jesse finds out

makes sense

from this: http://www.vulture.com/2012/08/breaking-bad-jonathan-banks-interview-mike.html

The first project that pops up on IMDb for you is Linda’s Film on Menstruation.

[Laughs.] No good deed goes unpunished. Years ago, my friend George Eichen, who was a manager of a summerstock playhouse, said, “Will you do this thing?” I went, “Sure.” And then they go ahead and they post it up there! It’s like, “Guys, really?” I just did that as a favor. They were going to try to send it to the public schools as some sort of health class (movie), so they could make some money.

lol Shakey you're earnestly claiming "I called all this stuff but I didn't do so on the thread about the show in which I participate actively"?

lol Shakey you're earnestly claiming "I called all this stuff but I didn't do so on the thread about the show in which I participate actively"?

these were predictions expressed to my wife while we watched the show - I waited til we were all caught up to get on this thread. that's just how it is. sorry I can't subject my claims to rigorous ILX scientific analysis

I was not on this thread at all until last week in case you were wondering

all right well you're here now and this is yr call

Walt hatches plan to whack Mike's 9 dudes on the inside. things go wrong. Hank inches closer to discovering Walt, finds some random piece of evidence from Mike's murder or the kid's disappearance that could potentially lead him to Walt. Lydia probably gets murdered.

Plan to whack 9 dudes has been telegraphed since the list was introduced by Lydia, no surprise there. "Hank inches closer to discovering Walt" is the theme of the last two seasons. Mike goes missing, who Hank was investigating, and Hank takes notice? The hell you say. And then Lydia, a minor character with almost no substance, dies? all right then

I know right? So unpredictable!

i predict that show about crime will feature crimes, and i have been right 100% of the time

underrated shakeymo predictions I have pwned

Maybe we should let Shakey watch and we just let him tell us what's going to happen. It would save a lot of time, guys

Walt trying to kill Jesse...please, he's kinda already tried that a couple times, I'm waiting for the big one when Walt kills Skyler.

? when has walt tried to kill Jesse

flynn catches walt and todd up to their elbows in meth todd caps him

I don't think it was ever explained? probably so that it can be explained this season & Jesse finds out

no way, 'my' prediction is that this is going to be the show's pine barrens russian

lol i just saw that episode again the other day... "he killed 16 czechoslovakians! the guy was an interior decorator!"

His house looked like shit!

My god the dialogue between Chris and Paulie in that episode brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.

Walt killing Jesse. Really.

Flynn is Keyser Soze.

the entire series is just so rich with that stuff, it's almost hard to pick standout lines when everything, even the off the cuff dialogue, is so amazingly entertaining

Jesse's a total liability to Walt now - Jesse is in a position to rat him out, blackmail him, undermine him, etc. in so many ways. And his desertion of Walt is a personal blow to Walt's ego and self-image. tbf s1ocki is right that Walt is the more unstable one - altho this only makes it even more likely that Walt will kill him imho.

I dunno, it makes sense on a narrative level. but maybe it's too obvious for this show, the Sopranos parallel is pretty clear.

Chris and Jesse are two different characters w two different histories leading to two different fates. Feel like the other shoe has to drop on Walt w/r/t him letting jesses girl die in S2.

Walt's not as far gone psycho as many think IMO.

what the plane crash wasn't a big enough shoe for you

xp

Like maybe he'd pragmatically kill some hoods w whom he has no relaysh but Jesse? Idk.

Sorry I meant shoe personally fitted for Walt but Jesse.

By jesse

Chris and Jessie are two different characters but the similarities are pretty clear (just like the similarities between Skyler and Carmela) - both have a history of being unreliable fuckups with substance abuse problems and daddy issues, both are bound to their respective father figures by their complicity in murder/gruesome crimes that no one else knows about, both have suffered repeatedly at the hands of their respective father figures' tempers, egos, and hubris, both eventually became liabilities/threats to their father figures. Even speaking in broad strokes that's some pretty close parallels.

xp

oh and Walt killed Jesse's girlfriend, Tony whacked Adrianna, etc

i'm sure glad i just got around to watching the fifth season of The Sopranos last week!

oops sorry

I guess I should stop listing stuff cuz I thought of some more lol

Jesse should just disappear

how much money does Jesse have, anyway? He should have more than enough to just get out right now. No reason for him to stay.

Walt's not gonna let him get out

how much money does Jesse have, anyway? He should have more than enough to just get out right now.

he's bankrolled the gang's entire activity so far this year, thta's going to have put a dent in

I thought they paid him back for that in the first big money split
