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

the lidia no-looking thing was the best part of this episode. any other show would have made her the ultimate calculating badass

i'm not so sure Pinkman is going to blab.

one thing to steal spoons, but babies?

i like lydia and todds relationship

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

what I liked about this episode was how Skyler reacts to Hank's dehumanizing/depersonalizing of her - she is tired of being treated like someone without agency and she has learned that when people tell you they're acting in your interest, they're usually lying, or at best they're exaggerating their ability to take care of you

feel like there's some cool feminist subtext/s to Skyler's realization that she is on her own and holds all the cards

this one's for sunny. i'm going to work today on getting this done by Christmas.

otm + otm

lol be srs skylar just kinda freaked out

its funny to have so much money and no way to really spend it

cool feminist subtext to completely losing yr shit whimpering and compulsively calling yr abusive husband

lol owned

i think whatever direction skyler was heading in with hank, and it was not apparent, shifted when he told her the cancer was back. her demeanor changed instantly, she went from frozen to galvanised. but hank, despite all his expressed concern for her and marie and the kids, didn't notice because he was thinking about himself and walt and not about them at all.

it's funny how lydia's constantly freaked out demeanor almost works in her favor because you can basically never know if she's setting you up to be massacred in the desert or not. a perfect liar!

monkey in the banana patch

sees no evil or hears no evil

i remarked to my viewing partner that she seems like Walt's mirror image in some ways--just that the demeanor is different. but i wouldn't underestimate her.

mirror image in that part of her motivation for doing all this is a certain pleasure in "because I can."

Yeah I doubt it with the way Hank is approaching everything. He's too desperate.

everyones going to their happy places

feel like maybe Jesse's the one guy Hank might be able to get to because Jesse is also desperate in an I-don't-know-what-to-do way. also Jesse feels guiltier than anybody else so he could be looking to expiate his guilt by getting Walt arrested. but yeah Hank's interrogation techniques kinda telegraph "I don't give a shit what happens to you I just want a win here"

maybe hanks gathered himself a little by the time he talks to jesse

seems like hes gonna chicken out on that conference call no

this could get real bad for hank

GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT NEXT WEEK HUH

DUN DUN

But yeah Jesse has said, what, like six words over the last two episodes? Who knows with that guy.

id be surprised if jesse broke, feel like all of them walt hank jesse skylord and marie are tangled so bad in this web of secrecy, the truth is prob gonna come out in a way with none of them in control or looking good, of course as mentioned this show is usually surprising

it's not so much Hank's approach so much as i'm pretty sure Jesse still hates his crusty ass.

Probably both

jesse seems generally pretty committed to the code of the streets too

jesse breaking is way too easy; this somehow digging Hank into an even worse situation with the DEA seems more likely to me

I didn't buy that Hank would go to jail if he spent a few more days getting his case together and someone caught Heisenberg first

yeah who knows but its def dangerous footing

what if hank goes to jail and walt gets off free

considering a criminal enterprise paid for his physio, it could look very bad if he sits on it.

xpost - interesting thought!

i like the way this situation is cementing the marie-hank bond

yeah, this is gonna be great for their family

this show really enjoys having people fall face first onto hard floors and it disturbs me every time.

hank really hit the deck

my favorite thing with Skl'r this episode was that moment at the end where she tells Walt, "Well everything Hank's saying is just suspicion, there's no facts"

Like, yeah she panics at first with Hank but it's reasonable that she would be in OHFUCKOHSHIT mode because she's probably been dreading this from day one and she can't distance herself enough to just chill and not show her cards and see what the crux is because so much is at stake for her...but when she uses the next few hours to chew everything over, she's ice cold.

aero otm, btw.

stop trying to make feminism happen

literally skylars every action in this ep are symptoms of being mindfucked and debased by a sociopath, that or she was herself a sociopath the entire time, either way

or she was herself a sociopath the entire time

Not an unpopular opinion among the BB fanbase.

and her plan is terrible! my brother in law the obsessive dea agent is on to us but maybe we can just ride it out
