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

JESSE HOLD ON A SEC NOW

jesse mad

wait can somebody break down this one for me? who actually took the fuckin deus ex machina smoke from Jesse and when?

hule did it both times

Huell took it at the end of season 4 to make jesse believe that Gus had poisoned the kid with Ricin, when he did a patdown at saul's office xp

kinda unsatisfying thing that requires a depressed high dude to suddenly have a realization no? or no? idk I was just like "hold up how do you miraculously just get clarity on this just now"

yeah it was kind of a reach in logic, I kinda felt the same way. took me a moment cuz his elocution was fucked when he said "poisoned Brock".

also lol at Huell getting easily overpowered by Jesse on his trip back into the office.

the realization was obvs brought on by the 2nd pick pocketing but i think jesse was primed by the recent realization that walt was just 100% full of shit and psychopathic

yeah - lol @ huell having no idea what to do, i liked that

so is walt jr at home right now?

haha I didn't even know Saul's bodyguard's name, nerds

heul doesnt seem really mobile enough to be of much help in that sort of situation

Walt Jr breaking down at his dad telling him his cancer was back broke my heart. He still loves him to pieces, but he has a son of a bitch for a father and doesn't even know it.

also lol at the very theatrical waiter in the taqueria

"I got this part on Breaking Bad! well...I'm supposed to try and sell guacamole to Walter White. No...I mean real guacamole."

didn't jesse correctly infer that walt poisoned brock to begin with, & walt BSed his way out of it? do i remember that right?

scene with waiter guy reminded me of office space

i found the waiter wholly realistic

It's just not very plausible that they would just assume Jesse is so dense that they can pickpocket him twice. Saul's too smart for this but oh well.

it resulted in Jesse pouring gasoline in walt's house which is a cool development for sure

lol daria me too.

the whole thing was that Jesse guessed ricin was what the kid was poisoned with, and then it turned out to be Lily of the Valley (or w/e it's called), which Walt had in his own backyard, but Jesse assumed that the kid had just eaten just random flowers and that it was a weird coincidence.

It's just not very plausible that they would just assume Jesse is so dense that they can pickpocket him twice. Saul's too smart for this but oh well.

idk it was just a snap decision by saul

What was it about the cigarette pack that made Jesse realize he had been pick pocketed?

next episode i'm waiting for the camera to pan to the elderly neighbors walking into the living room and looking on in horror while a crazed guy with a hoodie and shaved head is pouring gasoline in their house.

my take was that he couldn't find the drugs that was in his jacket, but he found his regular cigarettes, which triggered him remembering that is where he used to keep the ricin, which triggered him remembering....

yea weak plot point

Ah so Ruell pickpocketed the weed

Huell?

yeah

idk it was just a snap decision by saul

I think based on what they did and the consequences of it that pretty much every time Jesse was in the office they'd be walking on eggshells

they've all consistently underrated Jesse though

When Jesse discovered the missing ricin cig last season, what made him think it was Walt behind the poisoning?

ya saul def thinks jesses an idiot

I also don't buy that ultra-efficient ruthless secret identity guy would care that jesse has a pinch of weed in his jacket

yeah who knows

not trying to defend the scene really it def smelled a lil weird

I thought Jesse had a replacement/facsimile, and that Huell stole that one too, on Saul's order, because Jesse couldn't be trusted with it (mainly if he committed suicide, as seems fairly likely, an autopsy report of *ricin*, so possible *terrorist* might stimulate penetration of new ID). And it turns out that AMC's recap of Season 5 pt. 1 incl. this:
Jesse, meanwhile, is preoccupied over the missing ricin cigarette. Walt agrees to help him look for it and stashes a fake in Jesse's Roomba, having hidden the real vial behind an outlet cover in his own bedroom.

So for it to go missing again, in this situation, was just too much of a coincidence--- and yeah, alreadyjesse was primed by the recent realization that walt was just 100% full of shit and psychopathic

Oops, but if it's fake, no prob w suicide--unless a failed suicide would lead to the same realization, and he might come back, like Mike did--or go to the Feds.

there was no fake ricin, though, when Walt pretended the Roomba had picked it up he also pretended to flush it. And I was a little uneasy with Jesse epiphany too but on reflection I think it made sense, he had already suspected Walt of doing the poisoning before Walt weaseled out of it with the bullshit that Jesse now recognised in him. So the pieces fit.

is every episode this season going to end on a jesse cliffhanger? I didn't see that confession video coming at all.

these fake cliffhanger endings are somewhat uncharacteristic of BB (except for the wonderful "walt goin' crazy under the house because the money's gone!" classic)

yeah, they bugged me at first but now I'm kind of getting into the rhythm of it.

kinda unsatisfying thing that requires a depressed high dude to suddenly have a realization no? or no? idk I was just like "hold up how do you miraculously just get clarity on this just now"

daria is totes on point with this one. when jesse went over to kill walt after he found out brock had been poisoned walt says something like 'what am i supposed to have done?' and jesse recreates the entire story hitting the truth perfectly including huell lifting it. so yeah not THAT miraculous.

also I took the walt hugging jesse to mean okay you understand what im saying so i dont have to kill you. have a great time in alaska.

xp iirc there was a point before that happens where Walt goes to Jesse's house and blatantly tries to lift it but fails, they get into a shoving match, which i think tipped him off initally

when he first saw brock?

while watching this latest ep, i was so sure jesse was going to pull out a gun and shoot himself when saul stepped out to get the moneybag. then when he was waiting, pre-pot missing realization, i thought the vacuum cleaner guy wasn't coming at all. I figured walt via saul would send someone to show up and pop him.

idk that Walt/Jesse hug kinda got to me

a) super creepy Walt with his Sociopathic-Dad-MO going in for the hug so he doesnt have to confirm or deny

b) Jesse stiff as a board crying like a little angry kid & just the longshot of him buckling at the knees

whatever you guys are all hard gangsta but it made me tear up

oh yeah of course it was super painful to watch jesse but i think part of his reaction was at last getting confirmation that walt killed mike and that walt wasnt the father figure he made himself out to be.

also i love how unimpressed Francesca looked through the whole jesse being the shit out of saul scene

being = beating obv

not sure if this has been posted but its pretty awesome. no BB spoilers in case youre the sensitive type

the hug totally got to me too. damn you cranston!

the cigarette bit was nowhere near as improbable as you guys make it seem. jesse did not have a magical realization - he discovered a new pack of cigarettes that was not there before. it was huell!!!

huell is basically the varys of this show i'm thinking - just operating behind the scenes like a magical negro ogre wizard. he planted the new pack in jesse's pocket on his way out. i've been able to rewatch the episode and you can clearly see him putting something in jesse's pocket. for whatever mysterious reason, he wanted to change things up, and made sure jesse knew what had happened.

wanted to vote for him as my favorite character in that old poll, but voted for hank instead. still think hank/rocky has some gas left in him but right now i kind of wish i had voted huell after all
