Gus knows all about Jesse. When he and Walt first got aquainted he warned Walt that Jesse was an idiot. Which makes it funny that he agreed to let him be Walt's assistant. But then again (like I said earlier) the top secret meth lab would be an ideal place to kill somebody and dispose completely of the body. Really -who's gonna miss Jesse? Gus has always come across as a professional but very polite guy. This last episode he revealed how ruthless he really is. He doesn't shoot you in the face - he get's one of his enemies to shoot you in the face. I don't think Jesse's gonna end up getting murdered - more like an attempt which will maybe jolt Walt and they'll both end up on the wrong side of Gus. Who knows besides Mike the PI?Quote:

I liked how the quest for Walt with the twins pretty much ended the same way it began, crawling on hands.
how on earth is mad men going to beat this season to keep their emmy. the past three episodes have been the best i've ever watched.
last night was WEAK. chasing a fucking fly around the lab. Boring.
Terrible episode last night.
did they just run out of ideas?
I think I get what they were trying to do, but they didn't need a whole episode to get the point across.
Maybe it was meant as a spacer? The previous two episodes were pretty breakneck. Still, it's like listening to Slayer, 1349 and.... Enya.
they needed to mix it up a bit. Character development was key last episode. the real question is WTF is going on with walt. Walt acting batshit crazy is going to resurface somewhere.
AND...... I was on the edge of my seat for a bit. I could have sworn Walt was going to tell Jesse that he watched heroin-chica suffocate on her own vomit and did nothing to save her.. That was really well done-- the suspense created there with that dialog was A+.
He was damn close to saying something.Quote:

it reminded me of the one where they got stuck in the desert, just the two main characters playing off each other. storywise, it doesn't seem really significant other than showing walt's ability to be a bit crazy. seems like we're getting set up for something coming up. walt must realize he is partially responsible for jane's death, which affected her father, which caused the crash. a lot of people died. perhaps walt is going to go on a guilt trip and confess to jesse and/or contact jane's father, setting off some chain of events...?
Same here, I thought for sure he was going to spill it and Jesse was going to FLIP. I liked the episode, there were so many moments where you thought "this is not going to end well" and it didn't, Walt throwing his shoe at the ceiling and hanging from the railing in particular. It really set you up to expect carnage at the ladder scene so there was great suspense.Quote:

I'm gonna disagree with Jer on Hank going back to the DEA, I still think he's done. I'm eager to see how his partner taking over the investigation plays out.
I think Hank is done with the DEA. I Still providing his humor, "everyone stop staring at me hanging here like ?'s ball sack". Whether working for the DEA or not, I think he is going to start putting the pieces together and start investigating. Skyler made a huge mistake telling Marie about Walt's money, I think at least. They should have played something similar to the savewalterwhite.com website Walt Jr. ran, completely insulating themselves. Gus and Walt having dinner at the end was interesting. Up to this point, everything Gus has done was so carefully planned and set his next move, so I don't just see him inviting Walt over for dinner without him having something he wanted to accomplish. "Don't make the same mistake twice." Was it really advice, or was it a warning? Jesse's story line is getting really intresting. Does Gus know about him skimming meth from him is that the "mistake"? What is he planning with that kid?
VERY interesting dinner party indeed. I think Gus's gotta know about Jesse skimming. Maybe Walt was right about the lab being surveilled?
Good episode, that.
last episode was rather meh but i sure didn't mind seeing jessie's girlfriend again. :)
i'm still not buying the pollos character. it's just not possible (or credible) for big drug dealers to work that way.
^^^ sad to say, but a long time ago in a land far away (which is completely fictional) I could tell you they can and do. Not me of course. There's certainly some flight of fancy in the show, the state-of-the-art lab under the laundry I like but isn't too credible. But guys like Pollo owning small businesses which they use to launder illicit gains, and living modestly while getting rich? Absolutely!
I liked Jesse's GF too. Who the hell is that actress and where can we see her nekkid?
Ripzalot,
Read this, [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yogurt_Connection"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yogurt_Connection[/ame] .
Very similar to Gus' character.
what a hell of a great opening tonight,.... song/ editing/ acting.... wow..
That was a good one.
holy shit what an episode
The season finale is gonna be great!
"RUN!"
that was wild...
That was good T.V.
Once again foolish question time-
1. Was that the first time that Walt had met the P.I.?
2. How important is Walt to the boss?

Incredible episode last night. The PI's monologue about half finished deeds was unbelievable. Total double edged meaning relative to how the episode ended.
OK. I wasn't expecting THAT.
I read that the last two episodes were going to take an unexpected twist, but didn't see that coming either.Quote:

I really hope we don't have to wait until next March for the next season.
I was wondering about that. Was he talking about Jessie there, or was he talking about killing the drug dealers. Or was he implying that Walt take down Gus and take control of the whole operation. Or all three.Quote:

Jesse is the loose cannon voted most likely to fuck shit up, yet his character is so perfectly tailored to fit. I think he'll have to get a letter in a lead envelope before he comes to his senses.
and you can see what hiding in plain sight got them. anyways, i doubt these people were running day-to-day operations serving yogurt and cleaning tables. but the part i have a problem with is being so exposed. any rival gang could walk in and gun him down. i don't care who he knows, there ain't nothing stopping a rival from hiring or coercing someone to assasinate gus. all too easy when he works at the same place every day without any protection.Quote:

In a real-world model like that the street thug dealers - and maybe not even a guy like Jesse - would EVER get face time with the big kahuna (Gus). There would be several layers of intermediaries in between and only one layer would ever know who or where Gus was. Way to much risk with that kind of exposure to the entire operation, but it certainly makes great TV.
