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

Def gonna be tempted to start over once 5.2 is on netflix

to think if Walt had never been distracted by boobs in the window, he might never have seen Jesse escape

Just got done watching tonight's. The dual funeral scenes were a little hamfisted, though I liked the shot of Jesse and Brock eating ice cream.

i was really pulling for walt jr, nice to see him get those college acceptance letters

Bogdan as Skyler's new love interest is an odd one, think she's trying to weasel her way back into the carwash game?

Huell's closing dance to Dire Strait's 'Walk of Life' was inspired

best scene by far was Marie killing Walt with the pillow after they revived him.

Anybody else tear up a little at seeing Holly dressed head to toe in blue?

I sure hope Badger's restaurant remains a subplot for awhile.

I think my problem with this episode is that it was just a little bit farfetched, even for Breaking Bad? Now I will admit that I don't practice medicine, but I would wager a guess that a comically large syringe labeled "Reanimation Goo" would not actually succeed in reviving a human being?

And then after all of that buildup, Marie just offs him anyway? I just feel so let down after last week. And don't even get me started on the extremely misguided cameo by Darrell Waltrip...or the decision to have him on skis for the entirety of his scene.

I will say though, the reveal that Walt actually killed a fake Ermentraut was expertly done.

so obvious. all you had to do was look at the ears!

put me in the "this one was def walt's dream" camp.

or the decision to have him on skis for the entirety of his scene.

Yeah, but ski pole-cam shot kinda redeemed it

Huell's closing dance to Dire Strait's 'Walk of Life' was inspired

This is beautiful.

Door opens. DEA AGENT sticks head into room, sees HUELL seated on couch.
DEA AGENT
Hey, man. Forgot to tell you. You're safe. You're free to go at any time.
Camera pans to HUELL's face. Lone teardrop streams down cheek.
HUELL
Really?

lol at Jim DeRo saying "Baby Blue" was too lightweight of a song to end BB on. He'd have preferred "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"

Them version of course?

No he said dylan

Surprised he didn't argue strenuously for why whatever Flaming Lips song has the word "blue" in it should have been shoehorned into the scene -- a scene that also suffered from not being authentically psychedelic.

that dylan song is shite. im so glad they didnt go there. i mean, my god.

I just heard a convincing argument that the opening scene with Walt receiving the keys from God was not meant to make us think that this was fantasy or delusion, but that Walt was working the 12 steps throughout the episode--and that was the "recognizing a higher power that can give strength" step.

this is an interesting idea and given some weight by the NA key ring. Walt is praying to get home and keys drop down with a keychain that says 'Just for today'. Its kind of brilliant.

should've played "for you blue" by the beatles.

and had him die with a krystal burger in his mouth.

would have used Blue Man Group.

also, didn't Jesse originally tell us about his woodworking safe place at a NA meeting?

would have used this (xpost):

holy moly, just checking back in this thread for laffs and this is what people are saying with a straight face now?

well some ppl think it started with this week's episode, some with last week's. we'll see where it goes from here i guess. i'm voting 'afterlife'.

I would say no one's stupid enough to believe Walt would be dreaming about Badger's restaurant and Huell dancing, but people DID like Mulholland Dr, so

wow

over/under on her getting fired?

"So you think no one watches LOW WINTER SUN? Check out how few witnesses there were for this weekend's mass shooting!"

I'm just amazed she hasn't apologized yet

Delete and mea culpa seems like the way to go instead of defensively responding to a couple offendees and then radio silence

Rewatched Dead Freight yesterday (and the 2-3 following episodes, and the finale) and I think that's my favourite episode. So much happens apart from the heist (I'd kind of remembered it as just being the heist), and it seems like a key fulcrum for the final season(s) now.

My favourite one is definitely the one where they're being held hostage by Tucco and trying to poison him with the ricin.

and Tuco chewing all of the scenery

"I fucked Ted" still the most ice cold moment.

just re-watched the first few episodes in season 2 where skylar knows walt's up to something w/ his extended disappearances and over-eager breakfast making but she doesn't know what. when she starts freezing him out and disappearing herself for hours at a time and he starts getting nervous it's portrayed so well.

one of the most underrated parts of the whole series imo. #teamskylar

yeah i agree. the tension of season two, all the micro-lies, all the little domestic strategies, had me gripping the edge of my chair at least as much as the more conventional action sequences that would come later. the stakes seemed just as high. or higher.

season 2 was when i really turned around on Skyler, was so glad they could write her as more than shrewish wife

funny, she doesn't look shrewish

Just rewatched "…And the Bag's in the River". That's an amazing episode.

is that the grill in the river ep?

Think it's the Krazy-8/plate episode

ohh. way early
