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

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

he could always sell his speakers

or his house!

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

but then he had to pay for the train heist afterwards

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

but the entire arc of the series is walt's descent into total psychopathy, with every go around he proves that other people are just means to his ends, with increasingly horrific results. at the beginning of last season I would've said he'd do anything to kill gus, but he'd never poison a kid who was practically jesse's stepchild. and if the intent is for walt to become scarface, the sidekicks did not fare well for either hawks or de palma.

I'm not saying jesse is doomed, but I don't think it's off the table either.

or his house!

Pssh, in this economy?

it's a lovely irony that the De Palma Scarface was ruined because he refused to kill innocent kids.

It seems like, in the classical tragedy tradition, Walt has to die. But I think Jesse won't - he will probably end up with nothing, starting a new life, but not dead. Not De Niro at the end of Casino, more like sad music at the end of the Incredible Hulk TV show. He should probably be the one to kill Walt (fulfilling his oedipal duty as Walt's surrogate son).

Problem is, that all seems kind of obvious. Depends on the degree to which the writers feel the need to surprise us.

Perhaps neither will die - maybe one or both of them will end up arrested/imprisoned. That would be more of a humiliation for Walt - he's not unused to the idea of death, but being judged? He wouldn't like that. Of course, showing any courtroom stuff would be out of character for the show.

This series is in two 8 ep parts, yeah? If so, I presume there will be a cliffhanger at the end of the next ep, probably a character death (or in the case of the main two, possible death (like Cooper at the end of season 1 of Twin Peaks).

)

not to be the pedantic plot complainer from lagoon's otm description of ilx tv threads butttt

as much as i liked this episode the one thing that struck me as lame was how EASY it was for hank to break through. all of them have the same lawyer, and none of them will flip, we suspect they're getting paid off, lets tail the lawyer, hey look, hes putting money into deposit boxes

~everything crumbles~

idk i could have used a lil more intrigue or something

every breaking bad thread has been non-stop speculation about how walt will die, i so hope he doesnt just to fuck with you guys

BTW, in this most recent episode, there's a surveillance photo that Hank squints at. It looks like Mike waiting in the diner, alone, but there's something that catches his eye. Is it .... Lydia? Did anyone else notice?

the stills were posted here monday

i dont think the point of that scene was him figuring anything out, it was just supposed to show him being distracted by that case

My god it's a glass of milk.

is it? or is it... something else

Hank already knows Mike and Lydia worked together tho...? don't see what would be the big revelation there.

does he?

no he doesn't.

No

guess Shakey's not so good at watching this show after all

tbf I did miss an episode. but it doesn't seem like a giant cognitive leap of detective work to determine that two people who used to work for the same company might know each other/work together

rong rong rong

this is where shakey's house of cards comes tumbling down

idk what you guys think you're after - they know she's connected enough to the operation to raid her office and place bugs on her tanks

so they suspect her, and they suspect Mike - OMG WILL THEY EVER PUT IT TOGETHER

well, Gomez doesn't suspect her, because he as an idiot. but lol hank knows better...

you're panicking

it's just fun watching you squirm, shakey tbh

they don't suspect her personally of anything. She's just another person who works at Madrigal.

in fact, i'm pretty sure Hank didn't really know who she was when she called him about the bug

At Madrigal in Houston, Lydia (Laura Fraser) receives a call from Mike (Jonathan Banks), who warns her that the police are about to arrive. She escorts Hank (Dean Norris), Gomez (Steven Michael Quezada), and other officers to the Madrigal warehouse and points out foreman Ron (Russ Dillen), who was supplying her with methylamine. Mike reassures Lydia that Ron will not talk, adding that she will have a new guy in the warehouse soon.

they went to her office and interviewed her, Gomez said he thought she was too high-strung to be involved, altho Hank suggested otherwise

guess you have the upper hand now

wow this totally proves your point about the DEA knowing of the Mike-Lydia connection, good job

try to keep up here bro

that was in response to Number None asserting that Hank/Gomez didn't know who Lydia was

and all I said was that the DEA already know Hank and Mike work together/for the same company. which is true.

but OMG you guys have totally figured out the super-secret clue in the photos Hank was looking at, blowjobs all around

and all I said was that the DEA already know Hank and Mike work together/for the same company. which is true.
