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

I keep meaning to ask a dumb question: do large scale commercial labs like that actually exist? Or is most meth cooked up "Cap'n Cook" style? I know there was that big acid lab in the missle silo or whatever. What was the most impressive known meth lab that got busted?

i read something recently abt the veracity of breaking bad and they said super labs often much larger than the ones depicted in the show exist in mexico but not the usa

I see. makes sense.

there was a massive one in the Central Valley in Cali, and another huge one in Texas (?) that I remember seeing on Frontline. The Cali one was in the middle of huge feedlot farm, kinda like Gus's chicken ranch

but those were shut down like 10 years ago.

ya iirc a lot of the cooking moved to mexico when they really started cracking down over here

They always seem to be busting labs in suburban homes around where I grew up

I don't know anything about the technology, but just visually, the kind of equipment they're using on BB seems really sophisticated. This stuff looks more like what I would expect. http://stopthedrugwar.org/print/28867

that's what you use if you want only 70% purity, some tepid off-brand generic cola

the more you know

Can you please point me to a Frontline on how to steal 1000 gallons of precursor from a moving train? Just wonderin'...

I think Andy Rooney did a segment on that in '96

Meth Lab Homes
@methlabhomescom
2.5 million homes are thought to be contaminated with meth lab chemicals in the U.S. Are you living in a former meth lab home?

2.5 million seems a little high

more like a little ~high~

ie, people who might come after Walt for killing Gus.

ie, Gus not the top of the pyramid

I think that is coming. Creator of the show in one of those interviews was saying the 'Darth Vader' of that German conglomerate was coming.

wouldn't gus be the darth vader and we're still waiting for the emperor?

What if Gus was just the grand moff Tarkin? O_O

Or Akbar. IT'S A TRAP

Jar Jar Binks is Walt Jr. right?

Aaron Paul ‏@aaronpaul_8
“@kanyewest: I usually never tweet questions but I struggle with this so here goes... Is the word BITCH acceptable?” Ummm...I hope so.

:D

instead of saying "bitch" say "yeezy"

lol

oh man the DVR episode description is tantalizing

Hahaha, I just noticed this show is described as a Comedy-Drama.

That's legit, although admittedly less legit than it was a couple seasons back.

pretty psyched about this

walt in the hat 'n shades is true comedy gold

that montage was too damn much

bugs > czech repub > $ >montage > $ > montage > hank solves case on the toilet

He caught Walt...with his pants down.

still hoping this ends w/ walt dying of cancer like a schook

Crystal Blue Persuasion montage was well done.

Walt rocks; Hank neat.

Penultimate scene was incredible; you knew a bomb was going to be hurled over the ledge, you just weren't sure from what direction or what form it would take...

Just wrote like 5 jokes about dropping bombs/Hank but I think you get the point.

Good turn of events imo.

I hate to be this person, but after all that time Hank finds a book.. really?

xxp yah so tense, wide shot long take, is also classic as instead fake out idle setup

if only walt subscribed 2 maxim everything'd be fine

I hate to be this person, but after all that time Hank finds a book.. really?

Yeah, really! I've been saying forever that Hank was going to find out about Walt via something other than legit DEA investigative means. I just figured it'd be because of some bit of information Marie had ferreted out from Skyler. Either way, Walt is really "Up The Junction" now.

Man, how many years have they been champing at the bit, waiting for just the right moment to drop "Crystal Blue Persuasion" into the mix? So obvious in retrospect.

there are like 200 plausible ways Hank could have figured it out, don't really care which way they chose tbh

I really wish they'd CGI-ed a light bulb over his head in that last shot.

the face he made was a little like the guy watching his wife get raped in clockwork orange
i was SO hoping they would go out on the season with SFX of Hank dropping a load

that's going to be all 8 episodes of next season

Or at least the sound of him breaking (wind) bad.

I so badly want the series to end on a really groanworthy shot that makes the title of the show overly-literal. Like someone smashing a Michael Jackson album or someone doing a particularly inept windmill.

kind of disappointing Breaking Bad resorted to a version of the ONE LAST JOB cliche

is hank gonna get ricinned

by "one last job" do you mean evading the DEA one last time?
