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

closeups of her pumps = Lydia means trouble

ha, knew dude from justified wasn't a one shot cameo

xpost
nice coat too

I don't have a giant home theater complex and I've been playing loud music in clubs for the last 20 years. Fuck do I ever hate episodes where half the dialogue is whispering.

Props to a friend a couple days ago who proffered the theory that Hank would hesitate to turn Walt in on his own for career reasons.

lol the Low Winter Sun scam again

just a lil understated family drama with a neo-Nazi massacre thrown in to add spice.

imo the show only really starts to come into its own when Saul shows up

that reminds me that Saul has one of the greatest introductions of a character in all of fiction

lol AMC I'm not watching that shit even if you give me five dollars. just give up on low winter sun already

best merry go-round creak i ever heard.

a storage locker never seemed like a great idea in the first place tbh

so did todd start a fire while working for declan on purpose?
and if the dea finds out about all the dead guys, is hank going to assume heisenberg is responsible?

i like that drug kingpins on this show have v good taste in pea coats

but not in desert shoegear

best merry go-round creak i ever heard.

I can't see those things without thinking of Dream Deceivers and getting all creeped out

it's amusing that Declan just turned out to be a mediocre kingpin with low standards

she was at least wearing low heeled louboutins. it was a good idea though, those guys were probably even less on their guard with this poor lady who can't even walk around

so did todd start a fire while working for declan on purpose?

Probably! And I bet he sandbagged the quality on the first 2 batches too.

my inner tweaker loved the supposed heirs to the territory getting dressed down and then offed after producing shitty meth. fuck with your customers and get the horn

that scene with Skylar and Marie was....just...wow.

Loved the rotating overhead shot of Jesse on the carousel. Such Filmmaker 101 artifice, but still hilarious and great and fun.

also bringing things back to the origin with Walt saying "don't let me have done this for nothing". I think even he forgot his original aim in doing what he did. although there were obviously ulterior motives even then (ie, proving he could do it on his own without the help from his ex-business partners).

this was a big episode of facial expressions. Saul looking unusually grim when talking to Hank, the whole "Belize" conversation, 'Gomie' looking quizzically at Hank when he asks him how he's doing, Jesse's vacant dead-eyed stare.

also, one of my favorite tropes of crime cinema and television is the whole having conversations about illicit and violent activity in mundane places like a diner. every time I go to Denny's I keep wondering if the dudes in the booth next to me are talking about the rivals they iced in cold blood, but it always turns out to be about some boring family vacation.

also love Walt's full of shit demeanor re: Hank. Hank is FAMILY!!! I didn't mind driving into oncoming traffic with him in my car, or indirectly causing him to get shot and walk funny....BUT YOU GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT 'BELIZE' CRAP.

ha yeah, suddenly Walt is a man of great principle.

it's like he doesn't even know what his own muddled code of ethics is anymore.

he just one episode ago said "tread lightly"!

also the lotto ticket with the coordinates of his money stash was a nice touch. I love little flourishes like that - it really is what puts the show at the next level.

interesting skyler thinking about 'our next move'
but she's been in this abusive situation for a long time and i wonder how this is going to be addressed in the future - it was sad but not surprising that when hank started pressuring her immediately to give a statement to the police and take the kids and walk away, she wasn't ready and went right back to walt. i wonder if she will change her mind. lydia doesn't want to look at what happened to declan's guys & skyler really is trying hard not to look at/think about everything walt has actually done

shes in too deep

huell is awesome, someone please post a gif of him in mcduck's money bin
i like how skyler's let's be quiet echoes walt's tread lightly
like the whole thing might end with a whimper not a bang

'i am giving you permission.. you MAKE HER get off the phone'
ugh

hank handled the talk with skyler incredibly poorly

yup

shoulda sweetened the deal

"if you rat on Walt, i'll take you to McDonald's for a McFlurry later..."

Hank behaved exactly like Walt

send him to belize? I'll send YOU to belize

kind of a stressful, unsatisfying episode

maybe unsatisfying on purpose but gawd, all tension, no release.

skyler's crazy trauma face

marie, the baby crying

walt and skyburial doubling down

this was def a setup episode
i groaned loudly when the end credits and dedication came up. Wanted to see Hank/Jessie scene badly!

xp yup same here

new prediction: series ends with Walt Jr finding a grubby but intact lottery ticket. It's a winner, and he invests his funds starting up a meth superlab.

the huell/bill burr scene a "hey you want more of these guys on a SAUL SPINOFF right?!" scene that was still real enjoyable

more of those guys on TV is OK in my book!

"Fire in the hole" when Declan got offed made me lol

Gah I wanna see Hank & Walt wtf no fair

Marie v Skl'r was crazy, I was afraid there would be baby injury or gunplay or violence of some kind, ugh FUCK so stressful

Team Huell

love huell + bill burr

ya. I quite liked that we got some Huell skills on display with the lock-picking, he can do more than stand around being huge.
