alright. i'm still not sure.

hahaha

i mean if we're being strict about it he also appears not to have changed shirts between new hampshire and the diner

I think that's intentional, in the flashforward at beginning of season 5B we see his shirt is stained and grimy. I guess at this point apperance isn't a priotity to him anymore?

This didn't get the props it deserved:

BWOWNGG.... DONK-AH BWOWNGG.... BWOWNG BWONGGGGGGG

it's the same freak late summer snow storm that killed Osama Bin Laden in 2009

somehow totally missed that it was andrea's brother killed combo

also forgot how walt's not always been the sole mastermind behind his criminal enterprise. skyler gave him both the gambling cover story & carwash idea

Reluctant to actually link to Slate for any number of reasons, but they recently ran a (fair and favorable) comparison between "The Shield" and "Breaking Bad," basically summing up their parallels (right down to the central casting against type) but concluding (thus far) that the final season of "Breaking Bad" is doing as well as the final season of "The Shield," and perhaps better.

I see the parallels, but the Shield showed you that the Commish was a cold blooded cop killer in the first episode. There was no journey.

In America, these establishments are called "Denny's".

thanks for playing it safe and not linking to militant far-right website slate

you mean $1at3?

But he did it for his family!

Anyway, Walt was cooking meth in ep one, which ends with him killing those dudes. You have to set the moral bar pretty low for that to get a pass. Walt's tragic journey is that it all gets so much worse despite numerous chances to turn back (fatal flaw!). Vic's story is equally, classically tragic: nothing he does can undo the events of that first episode.

xpost Ha. I just meant it's ugly as fuck right now and so stupidly compulsively contrarian ("You're Doing It Wrong!") that I don't want to encourage them.

slate was founded by fucking kinsley and had mickey kaus as their most prominent blogger for a number of years. if anything it's less contrarian now.

Slate's Not More Contrarian Now. You Are.

this reminds me, has anyone else half expected to hear The Wire's episode-ending hi-hat tap in the last few eps

this is mostly true! just probably not with watery bud/millers/coors stuff.

i also sometimes prefer warm beer. don't want to be told to by an article though

You're Reading It Wrong.

i haven't read it

That's the worst way to read it, duh. No wonder.

seriously. coors has to market their beer for it's coldness because it is a shitty excuse for an alcoholic beverage. i don't know who these guys are - but they're right!

nice

Gilligan says walts been at the cabin 4 or 5 months so if walt is shooting directly to an ABQ dennys and its his birthday doesnt that mean its been snowing ALL SUMMER???

Maybe the winter in summer is a metaphor for walts world being upended

could take awhile to drive across the country in a stolen car but I dunno

maybe it wasn't his birthday and that's just how he likes his bacon

maybe the writers of breaking bad just assumed it's always cold in new hampshire

could take awhile to drive across the country in a stolen car but I dunno

another interesting bit in that cold open, waitress asks how far a drive is NH, walt says "30 hours if all you do is stop for gas"

I've totally forgotten the cold open, so remind me why he shows her his driver's license at all...?

ha, I was just trying to remember the other day and couldn't

maybe he was getting the bday discount

He says it's his birthday and she says breakfast is free on your birthday. So he has to show the id as proof.

also he was getting iced tea and they need to see you're 21 or older or the cops will shut your denny's down

so he got a fake id with his actual birthday on it?

yeah idgi
