I'm sure it's a ways off, but I can't wait for Hank to figure out Walt's involvement. THAT will be classic!

I'm thinking that one or both of those DEA agents are involved with Gustavo's business.

I am really looking forward to Walt getting everything that he deserves. I also hope that skylar goes down hard. I seriously hate her character.

The only character I really care about is Jesse. I hope that somehow he comes out of this o.k.

One of the things I find intriguing about this show is that I can't remember another, where the main character is someone to be disgusted by. I don't see how you could have any sympathy or empathy for the man. He is truly an immoral scumbag full of personal defects.

You are one interesting contradiction, DBS.

How is Walt that much different from Jesse?

Is Jesse's shooting an (for the most part) innocent in the face excuseable simply because mean old Walter told him to? Jesse is just a poor innocent twig being swept down the mean old stream of life, isn't he? He is just a poor victim. Remind you of somebody?

I just feel that if it wasn't for Walt's manipulative involvement in his life, and for his use of meth that he would be a good person.

Walt on the other hand, doesn't use drugs, and has nobody manipulating him. He is just a piece of shit through and through.

I had this same thought. Dug the way Hank dropped the hammer on them after they looked at him like he was full of shit.

I was thinking before that day comes something happens between Hank and the DEA that pisses him off so much he'll never turn Walt in.

Strongly disagree, Walt is everyman being slowly but surely corrupted by the money and by the power over others he is realizing he has. I'm rooting for Walt.... Jesse, meh... I hope he gets chopped( by Walt)

Bullshit. Jesse has had every opportunity to end his relationship with Walt and chose not to do so every time.

doughboyshredder · 09-01-2011, 12:03 PM

I guess you guys are right. For whatever reason I have sympathy for Jesse, but none for Walt.

**Jer** · 09-01-2011, 03:53 PM

I think they should come up with a new charactor:El Jer.

El Jer would be some sociopathic loner who rolls into town, cuts everybody's head off and replaces the whole blue meth cartel with a Taliban opium cartel.

Oddly enough, Sasquatch-looking snowboarders would be totally turned off by El Jer.

Seriously tho - I like everybody. I'd hate to see anybody get whacked. Except maybe Walt's son.

**Rasputin** · 09-01-2011, 04:19 PM

Jesse would have been busted by the DEA if he hadn't got involved with Walt, after all he was using heavily, cooking, and his product was known by the DEA to be associated with his knickname, which he had on his license plate.

Walt's influence has wizened him, and has caused him to lose the romantic view he had of his life as a meth cook. My guess is that Walt will find the bottom of his fall into darkness, but Jesse will somehow get out of the business.

a seriously unimportant part. walts wife is just as uninspiring, and i think i would like to see her go first? but at least at the same time

**funkendrenchman** · 09-04-2011, 10:05 PM

Wow, that was intense! I think more happened in that episode than the previous 6 episodes. Can't wait for next week.....

**Rasputin** · 09-05-2011, 01:28 AM

They continue to flesh out characters, and the plot. I don't get the "nothing has been happening" comments, I think every episode is intellectually gripping, and they use the graphic violence as punctuation rather than every letter in the script. It's masterful really.

**arild** · 09-05-2011, 07:05 AM

Ep 8 was fantastic.Why Breaking Bad hasn´t been bought by one of the major networks in Norway is beyond me.

A lot of people equate intense action with "happening". Many of the more "boring" episodes turn out to have a whole lot going on in retrospect.

Hank rolling up in broad daylight in the parking lot of Los Pollos to GPS Gustavo's car? Really?

Arild - I would pay to watch BB dubbed in Norsk. That'd be as good as German-speaking Conquistadors floating aimlessly down the Amazon.

I just shot coffee out of my nose! I´d pay for that, too. Funny thing is, I could picture the actors responsible for the voice overs right away. Sad to say, no shows except those for children are dubbed over here.

I agree, Breaking Bad is a great show! It ranks right up there with The Wire for a good TV series.

Anybody else reading Sepinwall's Breaking Bad recaps here?

He has some good takes and always sees stuff I miss.

**Scotsman50** · 09-05-2011, 11:13 PM

Last episode was a great one. During Gus and his partners "interview" with the Mexican gangsta you could feel the sense of menace and fear. I was totally absorbed. The writing is great but so is the acting.

yeah, and of course tio (wheelchair guy) was one of sosa's hitmen in scarface. he planted the bomb in the congressman's car and tony blew his brains out. i always thought gilligan was paying homage to scarface by casting him.

anyone pick up that gus and max were gay?
