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

yeah rearrogance Hank confided to Walt that he'd concluded Gale was Heisenberg RIP, so that part of the meth case was closed, anyway. But Hank visibly couldn't stand this, so he's like, "Ah I bet there was someone else; Gale couldn't have done all *this*", and Hank's like, "oh yeah--?(!)", and Walt's the egghead chemist and Hank's showed him Gale's notes, so time for more adventures after all!

Great how he wants Hank to be the ride-along equiv. of the brainiac and frequently lab-bound team members on shows like NCIS.

I wonder what Skyler was thinking while Walt was taping it though -- it had to be realization of even newer lower depths of his badness

Yeah, this was crazy. How can you ever live with, work with, or trust someone again when you've seen them film something like that. Once you've seen how easy it is for them, how good they are at lying about being concerned about your (and your children's) death?

Wasn't it suggested that it might have even been Scalar's idea? Walt says something like "you sure about this?" and she's like, it's the only way.

Do they think it'll somehow hold up over time? Their threat to Hank? That they can just go on living their car wash life? And like, not have Hank and Marie over for BBQs any more?? What exactly do they imagine is going to happen? The window of their lives is closing and is almost shut and they need to grab their shit and dive for the gap like NOW.

But in Walt's convo w/Flynn he's like hey - be positive! We just, you know, keep on going! Like we always have! Buck up kiddo!

>>but closing the garage door and laying his cards on the table when he didn't have a strong hand was pure ego driven by outrage

Currently watching from the start in order to hook my wife on the meth that is this show. And boy did I think of this current scene when Walt bluffs big on the Texas Hold Em hand in season one. My how the worm has turned.

Wasn't it suggested that it might have even been Scalar's idea? Walt says something like "you sure about this?" and she's like, it's the only way.

Flip this -- she asked are you sure and he said it's the only way. I remember that specifically because I would include him saying that in any BB drinking game.

yeah & then skyler kinda sat or stood around in shock for the rest of the episode.

y'all noticed uncle adolph & crew were towing THE big tank of methylamine across state lines right? why would todd telling them how the heist went down be any kind of indiscretion?

walt has been batting above his weight for so long & getting away with it i think it's cool that he's clearly going to be brought down, in some way, by a bunch of aryan nation dudes he treated like car wash peons & who are clearly jumping up out of their own league

hah

Poor old new identity guy, always getting jerked around.

where are the ms paint bb comix coming from?

Apparently from http://breakingbadcomicmaker.com/

This show is going deeper and deeper into "Godfather II" levels of darkness, with none of that movie's eerie calm. This story is like a giant rage bomb filled with decomposing corpses, exploding in slow-motion.

Anyway, per the above, man did "The Shield" set the TV standard for this.

i wonder how (in)famous walt will be once this is over - maybe that's the victory of sorts that gilligan has mentioned? for it to become publicly/widely known that he was heisenberg, that's what he really wanted.

i'm assuming todd is going to be not all that accomplished at cooking so those guys and lydia will try and drag walt and/or jesse back into the business?

What exactly do they imagine is going to happen? The window of their lives is closing and is almost shut and they need to grab their shit and dive for the gap like NOW.

Preserving his home life has been a fixation of Walt's throughout every season, no matter how insane everything gets. From Walt's perspective the window of his life has been apparently closing several times over and he's kept it more or less together. Obviously this is different this time but it's all part of the same arrogance and I think that illusion will only finally be shattered when Walter Jr finds out what's been going on.

That's probably the thing that will finally break Skyler as well, which is presumably been why the writers still haven't got round to that scene.

What would happen to the real ricin if it caught fire in jesse's arson attack? We know it doesn't as Walt goes back to get it. But presumably it could poison everyone?

c'mon guys huell obv swiped jesse's gasoline and left him w/ water

jesse abt to light walts house on fire stops thinks no wait i have a better idea drains pool and shreds

Where is the baby!?!?!?!

Baby's presumably with Skyler at the car wash or else in daycare or something, where working families usually offload their infant kids.

I dunno, you'd think after what went down with Marie they'd keep a close eye on her. Maybe they have a nanny cam?

final image is going to be of the money still buried in the desert, a coyote sniffing round

Btw, the Walt hug was absolutely genius as acted and filmed. It's impossible to tell whether it was honest or still more manipulation, let alone whether Jesse recognized it as the latter but appreciated/needed it all the same.

If it weren't in the total middle of nowhere I'd guess the final image would be a "condos coming soon" sign planted near the money.

or a bizarrely unexpected rail expansion

Or a bunch of baby Huells gathering on the spot and lying on their backs where the money is, not entirely aware why they're doing what they're doing.

Or a post apocalyptic nuclear winter future where someone discovers the worthless money and burns it for fuel.

Or a post-apocalyptic nuclear winter future world where someone discovers the money and uses it to buy meth.

i really hope holly doesn't reappear SUDDENLY and TRAGICALLY

negligent Skyler had left Holly home, house is burned down, Aaron Paul has to somehow up his anguished face game even more.

I like how Saul has kept Huell around long after the threat of being taken down by Fring stooges has passed. Then again he is working with Walt and Jesse.

idk, he has the cash to have a bodyguard, might as well

huell is fun to have around

The parlor tricks that dude must know.

Hope the spinoff is essentially a buddy show about Saul and Huell.

what a brilliant episode.

don't worry, not a real spoiler

They're almost all pretty much dead inside already.
