Todd and the chemical lady, didn't see that coming. Now these guys will be a lot more ruthless than Walt, esp the "new " Walt.

Walt should have killed Lydia when he had the chance... I bet she is gonna try to get Todd's crew to kidnap Walt so he can become her slave cook.

Yup. I figured Todd was coming back somehow, but didn't anticipate that he and Lydia (and his psychotic uncle's crew) would team up. Looks like there's a new team in town with serious muscle, a total lack of regard for human life (Todd is crazy in a way that's dangerous beyond Gus or even Walt) and no competent cook - that's not good for Walt. Though I don't see them just kidnapping him; I'd imagine they pressure him some other way (threaten his family? kidnap Holly?), and maybe that leads to an alliance between Walt and Hank to shut them down.

Whatever happens, I'm stoked on the next six episodes. The waiting sucks, though - I binge-watched the rest of the series over the last couple of months, so having to actually wait a week between episodes now is torture.

Well, starting to finally get caught up again with some binge sessions on Netflix, finally in season 4.

Peg - that would explain the M 60, Walt's abandoned house and the retrieval of the ricin. And remember - Jesse's a pretty good cook - way better than Todd.

Also - really like Todd's psychotic duality: alway trying to be helpful and attentive in every situation, guiding Lydia through a maze of dead bodies so she doesn't have to see the carnage, smiling and waving at a child who unexpectedly appears out of nowhere. Then, a split second after, executing said child or slaughtering an entire drug cartel. He's like a cross between an Eagle Scout and Ted Bundy. Gus and Walt both started out as pussies and became evil bastards because circumstances demanded a hard heart. Todd has a weird Anton Chigurh quality - he's not driven by ego or greed or any desire for power - he just sees killing everybody in the general vicinity at the drop of a hat to be the simplest and most effective solution to nearly any problem.

Shit, that's true. They're going to rope Jesse in. That's it.

I think Hank under appreciates the fact that Walt has not had him sent to Belize.

**Pow4Brains** · 08-20-2013, 12:29 PM

Who is the Ricin that Walt goes back to get for?

**ICEHOCEY77** · 08-20-2013, 01:37 PM

himself.

**NoPostholio** · 08-20-2013, 04:08 PM

The machine gun is for showdown with Todd's gang and ricin is for Jesse or Hank, or hisself....

That's ridiculous. Ricin results in a long and painful death. No way would anyone choose that as a means of suicide.

**NoPostholio** · 08-21-2013, 04:39 PM

Can't wait to see the great 3 way conversation btwn Saul/Hank/Jessie next week - maybe Saul will offer up a vacation trip to Hank on Walts behalf...

But at least it would appear he died of his cancer.

One thing that is a bit unbelievable , Jessie getting arested for throwing all that money on the street. Wouldn't it have been all gone before the COPs arrived?

**Benny Profane** · 08-22-2013, 11:56 AM

I'm guessing that the old guy was honest, and called the cops after he found Jesse.

You have to suspend belief in a lot to enjoy this show. Like how well that train robbery went, or the eight (nine?) guys getting offed in different prisons in two minutes.

didn't work out so well for kid

**Benny Profane** · 08-22-2013, 01:50 PM

Well, up to that point.

I dunno, I don't think you're asked to suspend too much disbelief. The train robbery went cleanly (up to the end, anyway), but there's no reason it shouldn't have - there was no factor that necessarily led to the conclusion that it wouldn't work. Same with the money thing; even in a poor neighborhood, there can be honest folks who might realize that Jesse was clearly in distress and call the cops even if it meant they didn't get to keep the sketchy money. I guess you suspend disbelief in the sense that things generally work out when they need to for purposes of the plot, but that's true of any plot-driven fictional story. I haven't noticed many glaring moments where I just thought "no way that could possibly happen," which to me means I haven't had to suspend my disbelief too much. Maybe the scene where Gus somehow sensed that his car was boobytrapped; but then again, someone in his position has to constantly worry about that kind of thing and he must've known that Walt was out there somewhere, so it's not impossible.

I hate those software installing sites....

I just went to my nearest car wash, because the Ru was incredibly filthy, inside and out, so, I had to. And, before you start, I don't even have an outside hose at my shack.

The place is just screaming red flags everywhere. Typical mañana service, for 20 bucks. Always drive away with major streaks and spots, after like 5 mexican guys wave at my car with towels. There's some woman practically screaming at the girl at the cash register for her Mercedes, which she said she was waiting two hours for. I think it was a quick wax. And, all that time, there are signs and renderings everywhere for the new, exotic three zone wash they are fucking building from the ground up down the road. I mean, wtf? The dude has car washes everywhere around here, and he's the only guy, no competition. He even advertises on the radio a lot. And customers generally hate the experience. I have my suspicions. The IRS and maybe attorney general should take a closer look at his books.
