Breaking Bad

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,

Very similar to Gus' character.

**orlowskij** · 06-06-2010, 09:26 PM

That was a good one.

**ICEHOCEY77** · 06-06-2010, 10:03 PM

holy shit what an episode

**funkendrenchman** · 06-07-2010, 12:11 AM

The season finale is gonna be great!

**buckethead** · 06-07-2010, 06:35 AM

"RUN!"

that was wild...

**Stu Gotz** · 06-07-2010, 11:17 AM

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?

1. No
2. Extremely

Incredible episode last night. The PI's monologue about half finished deeds was unbelievable. Total double edged meaning relative to how the episode ended.

**splat** · 06-07-2010, 04:46 PM

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.

**Jer** · 06-07-2010, 04:59 PM

The whole show kicked ass, but the last minute was beyond amazing. Walt picking up the guy's gun and blowing his brains out was cold. "We're not murderers Jesse".

**funkendrenchman** · 06-07-2010, 05:00 PM

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.

**orlowskij** · 06-07-2010, 08:36 PM

I was thinking Jessie the whole time while he was talking, but Walt's actions at the very end certainly fit too.

**splat** · 06-07-2010, 10:29 PM

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.

WOW! Great episode. Loved the PI visit, the meeting at the chicken farm, that las 30 seconds. That hooker character was damn well cast as well.

As for the dope dealer/kingpin model they're using, I think the most unrealistic thing about it is how many people know who's at the top of the chain. 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.

I thought he was implying don't fuck with the boss man because he pays my bills and I have his back, but also implying, if you're going to piss off the boss man, you better make sure to get him out of the picture completely, in which case we're cool.
