Breaking Bad

[Dantheman]

If Walt goes in with the guys who want the methylamine won't that kinda shoot his dream of total control in the ass?

Yeah, but the total control he currently has is an illusion anyway. Without Mike's connections for distribution he has nothing. He could justify it to himself somehow, he may be even better at cognitive dissonance than he is at cooking meth. I could be way off too, the clip was just them driving up to what looked like the same guys way out in the desert somewhere again followed by Mike saying, "Your move Walter." I figure it has to be the same guys.

[TahoeJ]

Can anybody name a single action movie in the past two decades that was 100% believeable?

City of God since we're talking drugs. But I still get your point.

[Tuckerman]

That dinner scene was awesome.

[DougW]

That dinner scene was awesome.

this, loved the look on Jesse's face after Skyler dropped the affair thing

[Ripzalot]

I'll have to check the DVR tonight but I believe that Saul called Gomez "Fonzie" in the most recent episode. Coincidence? I think not.

I thought it was hat tip to tarantino...

[Rasputin]

Hmmm....didn't expect Mike to retire like that.

[vinzclortho]

Hmmm....didn't expect Mike to retire like that.

definitely not.

the look on Walter's face when he shot Mike was kind of shocking. He's spent so much time being a hardass drug makin' bad guy that to see him actually look vulnerable for the first time in many many episodes caught me off guard.

So do we think the DEA seized Mike's safe deposit box he was keeping for his granddaughter? I'm assuming they did.

Todd is an interesting enigma wrapped in a puzzle wrapped in a vest. He seems kind of dumb, a bit of a psycho obviously... but he's connected. Almost like Tommy in Goodfellas.

[Jer]

Hmmm....didn't expect Mike to retire like that.

I expected him to retire like that, just not now.

Todd does appear kinda dumb, but I think that's really just a manifestation of his complete and total psychosis. I truely believe he is going to end up being the superfreak of all superfreaks. Tuco was a methhead maddog, Gus was a businessman seeking revenge, Mike was a pro looking to provide for his granddaughter. Todd doesn't have any motive for anything - he doesn't need one. He's psychotic.

[NoPostholio]

Wow, what an episode.....that episode alone prob secures another emmy for BC - looks like some future locking of horns for Jessie and Todd, who Walt will groom like a lapdog. Is this this season the end of the series?

[Soups]

I bet they use Todd's connections in prison to try and wipe out the 9 loose ends from Mike's gang. Was kinda shocked Mike went out like that, sucked I wanted him to get away.

Is this this season the end of the series?

Kind of. It's a short Season 5 only one episode left. "Season 6" starts back up in late winter after a short break with another 8 episodes and that's it.

[HankScorpio]

I really hope they off Skylar. She's the only one left who's got it out for Walt and could tip off the DEA, I bet she dies in the mid season finale.

Kinda had a feeling Mike was going to die, once the DEA nabbed him he was going to talk or get killed off. It wouldn't be very dramatic if he got out and kept his mouth shut.

[DougW]

I disagree on Todd. Todd is just a kid who wants to fit in. The spider in the jar was just like the kid at the beginning of that show. Mission - want to belong to the unit like in the army. Walt is like a father figure. Todd will end up doing anything at Walts command. Totally amoral. Just like walt has become.

[TahoeJ]

Agreed on Bryan Cranston being amazing with his reaction after shooting Mike. Few actors could have pulled off the conflicted mix of emotions like that.

[Jer]

Did anybody else notice the weird camera angle when Gomez walked in on Hank and Walt in Hank's office? Almost like it was from the viewpoint of a surveillance camera. I would think a smart fella, if he were involved in any sort of nefarious activity in or within 50 yards of any building, would automatically assume that he was on camera.

Then again it may very well have been creative cameraplay on the part of the director. Like Anton Chigurh waiting behind the door at the crimescene when he wasn't actually waiting behind the door. It's gonna suck when this all ends....

Mind blown if that comes into play. Went back and watched and it was a very security camera-esqe angle. Although if it does it's got to come in the next episode. Could be the season break cliff hanger?

It was a weird angle, but I'll be surprised if that's the case. It seems like they would have touched on that when they first planted the bug. I'm hoping Hank finally makes the Walt-Heisenberg connection some other way.

Mike's death scene was simply beautiful. Is that the start of Walt recognizing the monster he's become?

[Obstruction]

Todd's going to be the instrument of Walt's undoing. (He's got a little chubby psycho Matt Damon thing going on.)

Of course Walt is going to crash and burn because of his own hubris. I was surprised to see his character develop as such a classic tragic hero. Someone's been reading his Shakespeare.

I can't freaking wait for Hank to make the Walt connection. I really hope he pieces it together slowly instead of instantly figuring it out.

That could be , maybe as Todd is so easy to maniplulate Walt will make a careless mistake thnking Todd isn't that smart but Todd will just be smart enough.

Walt's undoing will be in the middle of a firefight where Hank kills him without knowing who he killed. When he finds out that he killed Walt, he won't know why. The show will end showing Hank's confused and terrified face, with Walt dead next to him.

Epic.
I think I will re-watch that last episode today. The scene with Mike was amazing. "Shut up Walter, let me die in peace."

What will Jesse do? I think Jer is probably right. I hope he is wrong though. If Jesse is smart, he will follow Mikes advice and leave. Just disappear.

There is no way he will just disappear though. He is too integral of a piece in the show. Unless they couldn't reach contract agreements with the guy who plays Jesse? I heard that is why this season took so long to start and is so few episodes...

I think Jesse will be back but I don't know why, loyalty to Walt? Or maybe greed? I doubt greed because it seems like he is over the money.

Didn't get your wish.

And now we wait again......

The look on Hanks face = PRICELESS.

Yeah, good thing he was sitting on the crapper when it dawned on him, because he surely would have shit himself otherwise.
