Breaking Bad

I'd agree with Jer about the PI, I'd bet anything he was indeed the one that warned Hank.

I think Walt has a soft spot in his heart for Jesse. Once he realized the "other options" included Jesse disappearing he figured out a way to keep him alive. He got the added bonus of making sure Jesse didn't press charges on Hank.

This show keeps getting better and better.

Holy crap, that was an intense ending!!!!

**Tap** · 05-04-2010, 11:15 PM

weird how almost every opening starts with that piss yellow overtone

i can't believe that Pollos agreed to have Jesse come back. What are the chances Walt changed the temperature to have something to complain about regarding Gil?

some intense acting this week. dayum.

**Ripzalot** · 05-05-2010, 12:19 AM

killer ending. the only thing better is if they had ended with filter's 'hey man, nice shot'.

one thing i don't get is Pollos - you have a kingpin dealer who runs a chicken fast food restaurant in the wide open without any protection? how long would it take for some rival gang to walk in and pop a cap in his head? plus he's making money hand over fist and he's got the time and will to fry chicken?

**krp8128** · 05-05-2010, 07:19 AM

Did Pollos hire Gil as the original assistant with the intention of having him learn the process/recipe, then getting rid of Walt?

Sure seems like it, as Pollos keeps telling the cartel that he isn't done with Walt yet....

I think people are afraid of who he knows.

Gustavo is a smooooove operator.

**Stu Gotz** · 05-10-2010, 12:43 PM

Here's a foolish question, but I just started watching.

Does Walt understand the big picture? It seems like there is a lot of movement around him, always just around the corner.

He hasn't really thought about bigger picture until he realized Tuco sent his cousins to kill Hank and probably Walt. Beyond that, I don't think he knows too much.

the fast food dealer is going to be pissed when he meets jesse. he let walt fire gale for this guy? i wouldn't want jesse to know anything about my operation.

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?

**pointedem** · 05-11-2010, 06:09 PM

That was sick that he used the buy-food-for-the-cops thing as a diversion to kill the other brother. Cool episode last week.

**BobMc** · 05-11-2010, 08:08 PM

I liked how the quest for Walt with the twins pretty much ended the same way it began, crawling on hands.

**ICEHOCEY77** · 05-16-2010, 08:36 PM

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.

**MMP** · 05-24-2010, 12:21 PM

last night was WEAK. chasing a fucking fly around the lab. Boring.

**slim** · 05-24-2010, 12:42 PM

Terrible episode last night.

**ICEHOCEY77** · 05-24-2010, 03:20 PM

did they just run out of ideas?

**funkendrenchman** · 05-24-2010, 08:47 PM

I think I get what they were trying to do, but they didn't need a whole episode to get the point across.

**Jer** · 05-25-2010, 04:55 PM

Maybe it was meant as a spacer? The previous two episodes were pretty breakneck. Still, it's like listening to Slayer, 1349 and.... Enya.

**pointedem** · 05-26-2010, 07:29 PM

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.

**Ripzalot** · 05-27-2010, 02:46 PM

fly was brilliant. if you can get past the lack of violence, guns, or drugs the writing, direction, and camerawork were incredible, a tour de force. i wouldn't be surprised if this one earned them an emmy.

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.

The last couple episodes definitely confirmed my suspicions from the beginning that Gus was a cold, calculating, ruthless SOB...and Walt is all to aware of it now.

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.

**jjdec5** · 05-31-2010, 05:34 PM

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?
