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

SKC = AMC

xxxxpost

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

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.

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.

Yeah, at this point it's kinda hard to remember how much humour there used to be in the show. I think up until the end of season 2 you could've easily thought the show would end up being a Coen brothers style pitch-black comedy; it wasn't until Jane's death and the plane crash that it was made clear it's gonna be a tragedy.

it's still kinda funny - in places. the nazis are sort of funny without having any punchlines.

I wonder if they has used Tuco as the Big Bad, as they had planned before the actor left the show, would the show have remained a black comedy even longer? Tuco was definitely a more comic (though still scary) villain than Gus.

Nah it's been comic all the way through, even/especially when Fring was in it. That's a big part of why Saul's in, Walt attempting to explain the petrol on the carpet to his family, all that stuff is funny.

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

are you seriously suggesting that's why he changes his mind at the end of the episode

It's not any one thing, there are like four or five reasons for him to change his mind and as many motivations not to just give himself up. Walt is mad paranoid, we already know he believes in tying up loose ends and there's no way he'd let a loose end like Jesse keep walking around. That plus hating the idea of Jesse and the Nazis getting rich(er) off his product, compounded by the Grey Matter slight.

Walt arrives at compound. Nazis point guns at him, Todd points gun at Jesse. Walt raises hands in air. "Just give me five minutes of your time," he said. Camera slow pans across nazis whose facial expressions say: "what the fuck??" Camera back to Walt: "I know these circumstances seem...extreme. But there was another man who once faced extreme circumstances, two thousand years ago. Possibly even more incredible circumstances than ours." Camera pulls back to show full scene as nazis approach, curious about Walt's tale. Breaking Bad music montage set to "El Shaddai": Walt explaining the good news and reaction shots of nazis and Todd: interested, outraged, holding faces in hands and crying, looking up at the sky. As music fades, we hear Walt, Jesse and the nazis praying the sinner's prayer. Camera slow tracks up to the sky where Jesus Christ holds Tuco, Gus, Krazy 8, Hank, Tortuga, Gomie, Drew Sharp, and Andrea in his giant hands. When the camera tracks back to earth, we see Walt giving communion to his converts: wine from a coffee mug and some crusts of bread. The camera tracks to the nearby dust where we see a crushed, unsmoked cigarette.

I like it but can we work in a Walt crucifixion?

Walt touches Walter Jr and his crutches fall away and he does a little dance including a backflip.

Gale and Jane don't get to go heaven... Or just difficult to get Gale because of LWS obligations?

Saul becomes a missionary after being temporarily blinded by a Thai masseuse.

Gale and Jane don't get to go heaven... Or just difficult to get Gale because of LWS obligations?

Suicidees and gays don't get to heaven, haven't you read your Chick tracts?

Turning water into wine=turning common chemicals into crystal meth.

Walt arrives at the Nazi camp - a silver-haired man stops him at the gates. It's... Walt's father.

"It's time to stop running Walt."

"No. I can't, my meth..."

"Walt, it's time to give in."

"But..."

"This is the place, where we meet the ones we love."

Uncle Jack opens the gate and we see a slow motion of Hank, Tuco, Gus, Skylar, Holly, Walt Jr, Crazy-8, the twins, Jane, and Jesse, all eating a barbecue.

Piano music plays softly as the Br/Ba symbol slowly fades into a black screen.

A mysterious long-haired man approaches Walt in the desert. Walt sees that Gus is walking alongside the man, so he grabs his gun. But Gus smiles and lifts his hand, talks to Walt with a gentle, soft voice: "The time for that is over.". The gun drops from Walt's hand onto the desert floor, and Gus proceed to hug him. Walt then sees Hank behind Gus, and behind him there is Krazy-8, Gale, Tuco, Mike, Uncle Tio, the eight people killed in prison, and all the 167 passengers of Wayfarer 515. They gather around Walt, all smiling. The long-haired man walks through the crowd to Walt. "Walter White," he says, "instead of breaking bad, isn't it time to break bread?". He then gives Walt five loaves of bread, which Walt somehow manages to share with the whole crowd. The final shot is of tears falling down Walt's cancer-ridden cheeks, as the scene fades to White.

we're joking not posting actual spoilers!

. . .

sorry, that came across as a statement more than the faux-rebuke i meant it as.

Walt travels back to NM, kills the Nazis and Todd, rescues Jesse, apologizes to his family, takes the ricin, feels himself being pulled out of his body, discombobulatedly finds himself sitting in a diner and surrounded by another man's family while "Don't Stop Believin'" plays on the jukebox, exclaims "Oh boy...", Al explains to him that he's a mob boss in NJ, etc. It writes itself, really.

maybe the final episode will be a musical

First one of you to throw in a Suzanne Pleshette reference gets a midnight visit from Todd the Ninzi.

75 minutes of the camera trained on Vince Gilligan giving the camera the finger.

Was it the Onion that said something about the next Ken Burns documentary just 16 hours of a pan across his laughing face?

i had a dream todd was sitting in a diner laughing about how angry coach taylor would be if he knew what he was up to.

I like the idea of walt going back to wipe out the nazis so he can finally realise heisenberg's full potential unfettered by petty family worries and maintaining the walter white persona and living a long and successful life

daily mash is unfunny

just occurred to me that walt might think his last chance to "save his family" now that he cant sneak the money to them might involve killing the only people that can testify against his absolvement of skyler and walt jr. (jesse, lydia, nazis kind of)

daily mash is unfunny

Mostly. I chuckled a few times at that piece though.

assuming he has read the blue meth to mean that jesse is still out there. its a much more straight line than the more grandiose "my product must not be besmirched" vibe motivationwise. xp to myself

Walt demands that the Nazis start adding hot-pink food dye to their product to avoid infringing on his trademark. They agree and shake hands.

back to hot sauce

lol gilligan's next show is a procedural for cbs

i dont think its his real next show tho

Heisenberg killed White power long ago.

maybe the final episode will be a musical

Excellent CSI meme material here.

Walt rolls up on nazi compound w/ M60, wastes Jack & co., mutters "How's that for ... White power?"
