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

what really

OK, all these references to "Beaver" were baffling me cause I thought y'all were talking about BADGER! Forgot about the gun guy.

his character name is Lawson or something

99% sure the "bitch!" is gonna happen after the episode snaps to black just before the credits roll, and is whispered

"breaking bad forever...biiiiiiiitch"

haha

Walt kills the nazis. Final confrontation between Walt and Jesse. "Jesse, you look taller than I remember. And that's a very long trench coat" "stilts, bitch" Jesse opens trench coat. Brock walks out with gun and shoots Walt. Fin.

say hello to my lil fren

bitch

feel that TwaüghtHammër is a loose thread in the narrative here, Jesse's gonna get over his tough year with a rise to stardom and a collaboration with Meredith Brooks.

Did Aaron Paul's Price is Right video make an appearance itt yet? I've only been following since catching up to actual TV in the last to episodes...

He does not say "bitch" in it, sadly.

I think somebody posted a gif of it once

Phone call with Walt Jr = Walt no longer has any motivations for running from the police. So Walt gives up

Gretchen and Elliot on tv = oh yeah, Heisenberg still has plenty of motivation. Walt's given up, but Heisenberg hasn't, so from here on, Heisenberg's in charge. It's not so much one person changing his mind as it is one person giving up, and another person stepping in to fill the void.

Final ep will be mostly flashback, first Walt in college as the only kid among his peers getting high, then Walt hooking up with his friends to found Grey Matter, then he and the other guy doing a bunch of coke and speed to stay up and finish their project, then the other guy cleaning up and kicking Walt out of the band. Walt is angry since no one will hire the former bassist in Grey Matter.

What, did you all assume Grey Matter was a business and not the biggest band in the world after Drive Shaft?

Mr. White was punk as fuck.

I do predict the cold open will be a flashback to Walt teaching Jesse in high school, as I think I've mentioned before.

nb I don't believe I've ever made a correct BB prediction.

maybe thats where the greatest bitch of all time will be

he answers a difficult question everyones stuned he looks around and then bitches

I do predict the cold open will be a flashback to Walt teaching Jesse in high school

oh man will it be fat jesse with big forehead like in the last ep

We'll get to see him draw his "Why Mr. White loves science" doodle

very interesting theory, kinda surprised tuomas or josh didn't come up w/ this - http://avc.lu/18Xafvw

av club recaps/"reviews" are so weird. like the "stray observations" at the bottom of this piece are just... things that happened in the episode? good lookin out!

http://www.avclub.com/articles/granite-state,102660/

haha they have separate recaps and reviews now and i'll be damned if i can tell the difference. i think my favorite thing about the netflix model (beyond even just enjoying orange is the new black, arrested development 2.0, and house of cards to varying degrees) is the extent to which it has just exposed the laziness and complete lack of imagination of the tv crit community in general. the whining of 'this isn't how tv should be, they need to role it out one a week or maybe two a week, stick to the traditional model, my recaps are even more pointless now' and the inability to explore how the netflix approach has say offered up new narrative possibilities (a few have acknowledged it but none have really committed themselves to say an entire paragraph on it. gotta save space for 'here are some lines of dialogue i liked', the critical equivalent of the guy who thinks he's funny cuz he quotes snl catchphrases. i'm down w/ sepinwall and i loved twop way back in the day (when it was mightybigtv) but that avclub model of tv crit makes most gamer crit look like the fucking london review of books.

sean o'neal writes for the onion proper right? i'm trying to figure out why he's still there, considering how many sites are basically just 'what if dennis miller hosted entertainment tonight' you'd think maybe vulture or gawker or grantland (though grantland doesn't seem to be as much a 'react to everything in the entertainment newswire', i almost never read anything in the sidebar there so i could be wrong) would've grabbed him by now.

what if netflix stopped making episodes and just turned it all into really long movies

"sean o'neal writes for the onion proper right? i'm trying to figure out why he's still there, considering how many sites are basically just 'what if dennis miller hosted entertainment tonight' you'd think maybe vulture or gawker or grantland (though grantland doesn't seem to be as much a 'react to everything in the entertainment newswire', i almost never read anything in the sidebar there so i could be wrong) would've grabbed him by now."
--I dont get it

Hell, maybe the whole lead up is a giant bait and switch. Maybe Walt is going to head back, find Todd, and give him a choice:

Todd: Mr. White, I'm not sure you should be here.
Walt: Shh. Just listen, OK? Listen. Put down the gun, Todd.
Todd: Well, OK Mr. White, but just for a little bit. If Uncle Jack saw us here like this ...
Walt: Please, stop talking, we don't have much time. Todd ...

Walt reaches over and puts his hand on Todd's shoulder.

Walt: I can teach you to make an even more pure form of meth. You will be more powerful than you could even imagine. You're just a kid, and I, I am a dying man, But I could make you great. People will whisper your name and quake in terror. Anything you want will be yours. Charlie Rose will be begging to come on your show. How ... how does this sound?
Todd: Gee, Mr. White, it all sounds great, but how are you going to make this happen?
Walt: With this ...

Walt extends a chemistry book.

Walt: ... and these.

Walt offers his Heisenberg hat and the ricin pill.

Walt: It's easier than you think, Todd. All it will take is a little time and a little ... Todd? Todd, do you know how to read?

Todd smiles.

Todd: No, Mr. White. But I sure can learn.
Walt; Good.[coughs, smiles, pats Todd avuncularly on the shoulder] Good. Now let's get to work.

Cut to black.

"Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake plays.

I'm watching the beginning of the series-long meth binge marathon that SKC is running and Emilio just fell through the ceiling.

SKC = AMC

There is a weird part of me that wants to see a callback to "Fallacies" in the finale. As inappropriate as that would likely be.

It was such a tender time

http://www.savewalterwhite.com/

Didn't that site used to link to cancer charities instead of the AMC homepage?

i guess the reason that would disappoint me is that everything in this show has been driven by a sense of urgency... whether you're "team walt" or not, it's always been about him trying desperately to survive, or not get caught, or protect someone, etc. etc. "walt goes hunting for his wounded pride and some cash he left behind" just doesn't have that tension.

For all Walt knows Jesse could be planning to take out his family in revenge for the Jane thing.

Let the record state that the best 'bitch' ever is when Walt and Jesse are hiding in the RV with Hank outside and Jesse is reminding Hank of his rights.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpDSn6odVzs

that clip misses out walt's amazing withered look he gives jesse

that era of the show was so incredible.

hank turning up at the hospital with a face like 10 simultaneous heart-attacks.

I really miss Walt and Jesse as comic double act.
