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

idk who is Jesse gonna tell? Badger/Skinny Pete? Randos on the street? He is not a trustworthy source. and while he may not care how Walt gets caught, Hank certainly does, and Hank isn't gonna go along with a cockamamie scheme that will expose him as well.

plus I mean everyone who knows there IS a Heisenberg already knows Jesse

i had the impression jesse knows plenty of people connected to the drug trade, badger/skinny pete are his friends so they're around more
but anybody who knows there's a heisenberg prob doesn't know that heisenberg poisoned andrea's kid & had all of mike's guys killed. and they all had families/friends/associates i assume so what happens if the word gets back to them that this person is heisenberg and that's who did this.

So the question is how do we get to all that in the next two or three episodes.

due to loads of killings and the jesse tape being found by the dea.

and they all had families/friends/associates i assume so what happens if the word gets back to them that this person is heisenberg and that's who did this.

this would require introducing a bunch of new characters to be set up as adversaries for Walt which, frankly, is not something any decent writer would do in the last 5 episodes of a series

the "end" as seen in the flash-forwards is quite far into the future anyway, relative to the latest episodes which are honing in on very short periods of time. i'm sure it will become a bit more macro again as it nears the finale.

i don't think there would be a need to introduce new characters. also i wasn't trying to start an argument, tbh

what if Mike sank into the water but was taken in by bog creatures who live at the bottom of the river and they nursed him back to health and he rises gigantic from the water in the last episode to exact his terrible revenge

this is my prediction anyway

*crosses fingers*

Wouldn't the feds have taken Walt's house apart? Including checking behind any switches/electrical outlets and discovered the ricin? I reckon he has already defeated Hank and needs the ricin for some outrageous, unexpected target. If the feds had Walt at this point all the internal drywalls would be ripped open, no stones unturned. Which is not the scene in that episode.

Hiding shit in socket outlets is not exactly original, low wrung drug dealer stuff.

anybody who knows there's a heisenberg prob doesn't know that heisenberg ... had all of mike's guys killed.

But wasn't the whole point of killing all Mike's guys within minutes of each other precisely to show the underworld not to fuck with Heisenberg?

Walt insisted on them all getting killed within minutes of each other - I guess it could have been to keep them from getting put into protective custody once a pattern of killings of Mike's guys emerged, but seems like a pretty showy move - and Bill Burr's character refers to it this season as a reason why he's afraid to steal from Walt

hey wait - do you think the flash forward is Walt coming back after faking his own death?

I think that Marie "why don't you just kill yourself" thing might point to something

yeah that why dont you kill yrself did seem pointed

it's kinda hard to casually suggest somebody kill themselves tbh

hey if you've gotta minute can you just

i meant it seemed pointed in the way even it was portrayed on the show the direction and what not

I was wondering about this too, but I naively assumed that an electrical socket was a good hiding place.

Don't know if anybody else noticed it, but some faceplates in the house were removed in the flashforward, but not all of them (obviously).

kitchen island is gone also iirc

It could have been Walt jr or Skylor who spray-painted Heisenberg throughout the house. Walt dwells on it for a few seconds, but didn't look surprised.

Or Hank wrote it after he is discredited and framed by Walt, shortly before he gets murdered by him.

Suddenly craved a spin-off pairing Saul and Wynn Duffy.

Sad reminder that when Justified returns, Elmore Leonard has absolutely severed all links with us.

:(

;_;

This occurred to me as well, mostly due to the neighbour's reaction.

Also OMG at that 'Badger as master archer' storyline.

Regarding the more immediate future, where is Hank taking Jesse now? I mean he can't post him up at the schraderhausen now can he? Is he taking him to jail like he threatened to do if he didn't meet Walt in the plaza? If so, then wouldn't Walt's call to Todd about needed Todd's uncle to do one more job most likely be a prison killing like the last job. That's like his thing, right? Connections. Also mad timing and there was some line about timing in the 'Next on BrBa' trailer.

I still think Jesse's plan is to somehow expose Walt to the world. Maybe if they could arrest him based on Jesse's tape it would be plausible that the media would be interested in a suspect in the retirement home bombing since it was all over the news.
If jesse is going to get him where he really lives couldn't that be reference to his dual personas / web of lies /pride which would all be exposed/damaged in a public outing. And his kids would get taken away from him. And Skylar would probably run to her divorce lawyer who was all for exposing Walt in the beginning. 4am speculation, man.

Regarding the more immediate future, where is Hank taking Jesse now?

To the clink, which means Jesse has about 5 minutes to convince Hank of his plan. Which I suspect he will.

it feels to me like each time hank moves further away from pursuing the case within the dea that he embroils himself deeper into the world of it all, and incriminates himself, and that he's going to suffer for this and these decisions will haunt him, or be the nails in his coffin.

Was thinking about the thing with Hank's medical bills the other day, and you'd think the DEA would be more understanding given they were taking Gus Fring's drug money for years.

they'd still have to can him in terms of pr you'd imagine - esp assuming there was a shitstorm after gus was killed.

what if hank frustrated by walt's slipperiness blows a fuse and tries to murder him and is brought to justice for it !

but is found innocent and then builds his own meth empire.

final scene: hank driving away from desert with walt's money while kid rock's "american badass" plays. hank smokes a cigar and smiles the smile of a newly-minted millionaire.

wait, didn't Jesse slip away from sight successfully?

No they picked him up in the surveillance van, which he got into happily.

surprised that Jesse was still (sort of) willing to co-operate with the DEA after his initial anger subsided. hope he escapes Hank somehow and gets some freelance revenge

Jesse is pretty fucking scared at this point and thinks Hank is the lesser of two evils.

I like the potential for a Hank and Jesse buddy cop movie dynamic. Really hoping Jesse's plan will necessitate Hank and Gomie reluctantly bro-ing down with Skinny Pete and Badger.

If so, then wouldn't Walt's call to Todd about needed Todd's uncle to do one more job most likely be a prison killing like the last job.

todd is hanging around guys who casually wipe blood off their boots in diner bathrooms, don't think he'll have to look too far to find somebody to hit jesse, tho if jesse confessed to killing gale on that video yeah he'll prolly be in an orange jumpsuit next eps

ugh that boot-wiping scene, and the tank of chemicals in the parking lot, just made me kind of amazed at how far we are from Gus Fring perfectionism

gus and walt really were a match made in some fastidious heaven

i haven't seen an episode of this show, but people seem to like it.

waltr whites

Is he taking him to jail like he threatened to do if he didn't meet Walt in the plaza? If so, then wouldn't Walt's call to Todd about needed Todd's uncle to do one more job most likely be a prison killing like the last job.

Walt doesn't know Jesse has hooked up with Hank

Eww

I don't feel like 乒乓 having not watched the show should stop his contribution to this thread, because I wonder if some other people actually watched it

Oh duh yeah. I knew I should dismiss my minds 4am conclusions. Especially those based on an episode where act 1 and act 2 run in parallel.
