BREAKING BAD Last season

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Well, they say the last season is actually 2 seasons of 8 episodes apiece. IT STARTS A WEEK FROM TOMORROW! I expect Walt to be the new Drug Lord of Albuquerque, although I really haven't yet seen a write-up of any kind on it. I can only assume Gus actually is dead. He sure looked as if death was imminent after having half his head blown off. Will we be seeing more, or at least hearing more of Lily of the Valley?

[soonerhubs]

Hurray! I can't wait!

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Will Hank discover that Walt is Heisenberg? Will Jesse discover that Walt prolly gave his little boy Lilly of the Valley? Will Jesse ever find out how Jane died? Will Marie go nuts on a shoplifting spree? Will the Mexican drug cartel rebound somehow? Will Sheriff Joe stop arresting illegals?

[Jacie]

I felt that final close up of the plant would have been a great ending to the series. What more can they do? They killed off all the bad guys. Who among the recurring characters are left? Walt, Jesse, Skylar, Hank, Marie, Walt Jr., Sal and Mike. Don't see any conflict there. Is there enough time to introduce new characters central to the plot? Gus was on long enough that we learned his back story, essential to understand his motivation, where he was coming from and realized that his dealings with Walt and Jesse were based on business while his enmity towards the cartel was personal. One season is not long enough to develop another bad guy to play off of Walt.

I like this show and look forward to more episodes. I just can't see where the writers can take it from here.

Oh man, you've missed out. I'm as straight laced as they come, and have loved it from the first episode. It really hooks you, then sets you up to root for the characters, who have gone bad. All the while, the undertone of the show is that crime is a bad thing to dabble with.

You're hoping against hope and reason something good will come of all this.

I don't like what I consider dark shows/movies that involve "bad characters," lots of drug culture and the like. I was pretty sure that was what this was gonna be from the start and never got interested in it. I even flip the channel when previews for it come on. Obviously this is some folks cup of tea, and that's more than cool by me, but it's not for me.

The premise, a man just turned 50, with a wife, a son and another child on the way, is dying and now conflicted over how to provide for them after he's gone is one ordinary people must deal with everyday. What is not ordinary is how the man chose to deal and that is the draw. Over the course of the show we have watched this ordinary man change from mild mannered high school teacher to a hardened criminal. He manufactures drugs, has killed, committed fraud but his focus remains the same. It is the transformation that has kept us transfixed on this show.

For me, part of the attraction was the actor Bryan Cranston. Previoulsy he played the bumbling father on Malcolm In The Middle so it represented a huge change for him. It is similar situation to that guy who was the main character in The Shield who previously played The Commish and the actress who played Peg Bundy now the wife of the head of a motorcycle gang in Sons of Anarchy, playing characters so different from what we had associated them with as to be unrecognizable in the new role.

[Curly Bill]

I "get" why people watch it, but I just don't like what I consider "dark" shows. This is going to be blasphemous to many, but for that same reason I don't like the Godfather movies.

Too bad for you, and what you've missed. I agree with you on the Godfather (and the Sopranos, for that matter) BB is cool to me because of what Walter White came from, and the curiousity of WTF is coming next. Of course, it also appeals because it is so well done. I doubt whether many folks expect you to get interested now, and catch up. If you won't tolerate the violence, this one ain't for you.

[Jacie]

My guess is this season, Hank gets drawn into it and becomes just as conflicted as Walt and Sky. He wouldn't turn in his brother-in-law knowing it would ruin the lives of his wife's sister and their children would he? And it is not like Hank hasn't already flirted with stepping over the line having bailed out Marie and Hank, while seeing his career advance more on sheer luck than his own wherewithall. As Walt, Skylar and Marie before him, Hank is ripe to break bad.

Well, it's off and running! I have a few questions. 1) Will the people at the salvage yard have any way of identifying or connecting to Walt, Jesse and Mike? 2) a)what was that written on the corner of the laptop the cops got from Gus Fring's office?b) Who was it in the photo they showed in the evidence room that came from Fring's office? 3)Why is Walt so certain they got the job done of messing up the evidence? 4) is Ted's as* grass? How will he bite the dust? 5)Did the IRS get the $600K that Ted was to give them? 6) would Mike be just fine with offing Walt?7) when and how does Hank re-enter the picture?

[yermom]

Ted signed the paperwork for the IRS, all that needs to happen is his keeping quiet

what they saw in the picture was information about an account in the Caymans

the junkyard guys were a little odd. how did Walt know he could trust them?

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Skyler must have gotten an earfull about her weight last season. No telling how much weight she's lost. Also, she actually seems to look more like her on-screen sister Marie, than she used to?

[Jacie]

If I remember correctly, Ted blew through the cash Skylar gave him to get square with the IRS.

Now that Walt knows how she gave away $600k, she has more reason to be afraid of him.

And it looks like even Mike might be a afraid of Walt now. Sal certainly is.

Poor old Hank is walking around looking like he is in over his head and has been all along.

In the opening sequence, did Walt buy himself an M-60 and whatever for would he need that kind of hardware?

Hank has the surveillance cameras on his mind, it seems, but it's unlikely that will help him, now.

Ted is SO cooked. I'm sure he realizes it. Skyler has to be totally frantic, as well. I have a feeling next show will have a little violence in it.

he spent some of it, but was trying to use it to get the business going again and look successful. the thugs went to his house to convince him otherwise, and there was an "act of god" as Saul said. reminded me of Fargo a little.

[GDC]

He spelled out "52" with his bacon, so that opening sequence was two years later on his birthday. Hard to say what the gun was for, but we now know Walt survives, at least to that point.

[soonerhubs]

I waited until today to post because we watch this show every following Monday.

Holy cow! The confidence of Walt is so powerful! He's certainly getting somewhat of a god complex, and it's intriguing!

Testing one, two three...I am believing this website is working again. Well, the show is on again tonight, 2nd episode of the season.(Longmire is too. I completely forgot about that show last Sunday) I'll try to catch both shows tonight.

I predict Walt will take down at least one person tonight, and will make an attempt at making/distributing drugs, or at least acquiring some for resale, in this episode.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Poor Saul, he just wants to be over with all this crap, and it's not anywhere near close. SO many questions and developments in this episode!

[Jacie]

So wanted to see Mike waste the b*tch . . .

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Mike is not to be ****ed with.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

7-29 show:

Things are SO messed up, I feel like every person in the show now is a big potential for screwing up everything for everybody!

BTW, I wonder if Jesse's 2 buddies that got those rectangular bins for the portable lab realize the seriousness of the danger they are now in. It seems that subject wasn't very well covered in the show.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

In the past, Hank was looking hard at Jesse for potential drug making. They can have him return to that quest, and put more heat on Walt and Jesse. That would give Walt even more incentive to want to get rid of Jesse...

[Jacie]

Get rid of him? Jesse is like a son to Walt. Walt is way beyond being afraid. The person in danger who doesn't know it is Hank. If he even sniffs the Walt-Jesse-Mike operation I think Walt would take him out himself.

The obvious weak link in the chain now is Skylar. Her strength, which helped get the money laundering business started, is gone.

Jess's buddies are okay. An operation that big needs people the primaries trust. Mike was simply appraising them the way he does everyone. Look what he is doing for the guys who worked for him before. If Mike vets em, the only thing they have to fear is the law.

Seems to me just about anybody is a potential hit anymore. (I'm not quite as sold on Jesse's safety as you are) It will be very interesting to see how Skyler behaves now.

[jk the sooner fan]

Skyler behaved poorly and she is going to be Walt's undoing

great episode last night - a lot of "stuff" going on

[Jacie]

I can see her point what with hitmen dropping by, Walt cooking meth, building bombs to blow people up, the money laundering scheme and she recognizes that she is in it too. So who can blame her for wanting to shield the kids from all of this? That she is acting erratically does not help her make the case, however, and only serves to give Walt the excuse he needs to have her put away.

Hank trips and manages to fall up the stairs instead of down, lands himself a job that will get him off the case.

And maybe we'll get to see Mike shoot Lydia after all!

[GDC]

Should have let Skyler drown...

She has plenty of reasons to be terrified. I was surprised that Hank was offered to go to El Paso for work, again. Lydia DOES need to go!

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Who dies on 8-12-12?

I'm calling for Lydia, but I don't feel real strong about it. She's quirky and interesting enough that they might want to string her along. Also, she is the only known person who can get the Methlomine for cooking the blue Meth.

[SCOUT]

If we were voting to decide, I vote for Skylar.

[cleller]

It seems a little TOO clear that Mike should have hit Lydia. So obvious. Lydia is a mess, Jesse is traumatized by all the killing and has lost his nerve, and Walt has an absolute power syndrome going on. Just foreshadowing the inevitable fall of the empire. A little sad. I just hope when its all in ashes Sol walks away. Mike, too, but that seems a long shot.

My wife has an interesting theory on Skylar's future plans.

Oh, on the Hank promotion, I thought Hank was staying, and the other guy going to El Paso....

[yermom]

Hank was certainly off the reservation with some of the stuff he was doing to catch Heisenberg/Fring

he was in a strange place for a while

Mike just has a different set of rules he goes by.

Saul is shady, but knew he was lucky to have survived and was ready to get out. Walt wasn't having it though.

[jk the sooner fan]

this series is famous for foreshadowing - when the ASAC announced he was stepping down - because Fring was "right under his nose the whole time"......makes me wonder if Hank wont give that comment some thought later on this season

It lead me to believe Hank MIGHT be thinking about Walt's involvement again. It starts in 15 minutes!

[SicEmBaylor]

What do you think SHOULD HAVE been done about the kid?

Nothing. The kid wasn't there for the entire train robbery. He pulled up right at the end. The kid didn't have the slightest clue what was going on. They should have just acted cool and the kid likely would never have thought a thing of it.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

i'm assuming Friday Night Lights

Landry seems like a believable name for a kid from Texas that plays football (or New Mexico, i guess)

[SicEmBaylor]

Aye, Friday Night Lights.

[cleller]

Spoiler Alert:

I did not like that ending, but it did fit with the way the show has progressed. Just as I was thinking their new recruit (Todd?) was a pretty cool customer, he does something unbelievable stupid. That desert is going to be crawling with people searching within hours. Not time enough to remove their work.
The only logical option is to take the kid and bike somewhere he will quickly be found, but I bet they don't do it. Shoot, what if he's still alive? Even more hysteria, and worse outcome.

Frustrating as heck.

[jk the sooner fan]

if they shot the kid they sure as heck are going to dispose of the body

i cant imagine a scenario where they dont

[SicEmBaylor]

Walt would never let a loose end like leaving the body of a small body who was shot in the middle of the desert.

Jesse is going to flip the hell out though. He's sentimental about this kind of thing. Just as Jesse finally becomes somewhat mentally stable, something like this happens that sends him over the edge.

[yermom]

i'm thinking there is likely going to me more gunplay in the next few minutes of show time. they'll likely be digging two holes

I think they should move him somewhere he will be found fast. If he disappears, there will be searchers combing that desert for days. No way to get their buried tanks emptied or moved, and the site put back to normal. They're already had heavy equipment in there, hard to erase all signs or that. If they move him somewhere else, where he is found quickly, the investigation with focus there, and not where Walt, Jesse and company were at work.
Further, if he is found near the location that the dump truck was stalled, you've got two more potential witnesses in the train crew.

Lastly, this IS a young boy after all. Jesse certainly and even Walt probably would not want him dumped into a shallow grave in the desert.

Maybe move the boy, if he is indeed dead. a couple miles away, and set up a decoy amateur looking meth lab that he may have stumbled onto?
I'm beginning to think the boy is not dead, that would really be impossible to deal with.

I took a course in elementary Arthur Conan Doyle thinking.

i think the character development on this show is on par with the Sopranos - having said that - i think its also easy to speculate about what will happen - or could happen with any of these characters - simply because of how the writers have laid out the last 4 seasons

[12]

well i think thats what the producers want you to think - but there was also a great deal of uncertainty on the part of Walt, Jesse, etc on how long he was there or how much he actually saw

Another crime scene and that much more law enforcement are on them now. What a great show!

[cleller]

The way these writers manipulate you into pulling for people doing awful things, then inject some "what goes around" morality at crucial moments is gut wrenching. Not often a TV show can leave you thinking and talking about it all week.

I think Mannix, or Banaby Jones was the show that affected me this way.

[jk the sooner fan]

there have been a few shows in recent years that featured "likeable *********s".......Dexter was a serial killer that most people like......Tony Soprano, there are others

but your point about the karma morality is spot on

[GDC]

This show is unique in that Walter has actually changed so much over the course of the entire story. In most series the characters are pretty much the same from the first season to the last.

8-19-12 Episode:

I was looking on the AMC site, and there was a comments section for Breaking Bad, in which someone offered the following, that I thought was pretty interesting:

"Didn't catch this at first but ....
Skyler and Walt PLANNED THAT DINNER WITH JESSE !!!
She (was acting), then did what Walt wanted her to do and left the table at exactly the right time so Walt could work his magic on Jesse.
Walt insisted Jesse stay for dinner so they could play their mind game on his head. Walt's playing on Jesse's sympathy telling him, "Kids are gone .... This business is all I have".
Previews show Walt getting a little stronger with Jesse too ....
Jesse is stuck, and Walt gets what he wants."

i'm not sure that i'd agree with that - but who knows

[jk the sooner fan]

well my thoughts from last night were that Jesse has now witnessed first hand that Skyler and Walt dont see eye to eye - whether he is smart enough to translate that into a problem for the team - remains to be seen

if he were to tell Mike there was a problem,i think Mike would take Skyler out in a heartbeat

i didnt think Skyler was acting at all or that it was a put on -i'm not sure what benefit they'd get from that

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

i didnt think Skyler was acting at all or that it was a put on -i'm not sure what benefit they'd get from thatIt's just something to think about. That's all. We'll prolly never know. Remember that Skyler had told Walt in an earlier episode that she would do ANYTHING he asked, if he would agree to keep the kids away from the house.

[yermom]

did they ever explain why he left Gray Matter? it certainly seemed like a love triangle thing

his ego is all he has left. how can someone be planning on hundreds of millions of dollars from meth instead of cashing out for a quick five million now? who is he going to impress with his meth empire at the end? it's not like he's going to have enough time to spend that much money, most likely.

Yeah, he was not far into his diagnosis being public.

[Jacie]

Walt is fearless in the way only a man who is already staring Death in the face can be. Twice this season Mike has had a gun pointed at Walt ready to shoot him dead and Walt was cool as a cucumber.

As for hanging on instead of selling out, certainly it would be the best thing for Jesse and Mike but Walt done passed the point of caring. He has lost everything he cared about before he got into the business. The business is all he has left so why not go for $300 million instead of a measly 5? Heck, a kid died so they make could that kind of money, might as well make it mean something.

[jk the sooner fan]

moral relativism is alive and well!

[yermom]

well, looking back, you know Walt isn't going to flinch on that kid. after Lily of the Valley, and Jesse's junkie girlfriend, he has not exactly shown too much concern for human life, even kids. he's come a long way from killing the dude that crashed through Jesse's bathtub

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Well, the previews showed Walt meeting with Decklan out in the desert, so the cooking presumably goes on. I'm looking forward(kinda) to Skyler's coming unhinged upon finding out about the 14 yr old boy who was killed by the star's team. Also, WTHeck will Todd do next?!?!?

Ah, the previews for the non-Dish privileged again. So that may partially explain Walt's plan. Maybe he's going to contract with the Decklan guy somehow, getting the money fronted for Mike and Jesse? Doesn't quite fit with Walt's empire plan, though. He's got to be at the top now.

I guess Walt could pitch it like "You are now MY customer." Buy out my partners and divide the profits someway.

One thing he does have going for him is the expertise of the blue meth, which right now is his lifeline.

Mike WAS a likeable scoundrel. So, I guess Walt is now going to dispatch the 9 guys in prison, after he gets their names from Lydia?(maybe add the lawyer who just got arrested at the safe deposit box vault.)

I think Mike was going give up Walters name to hank because between Hank and Walter they were both pissing mike off. If they would've caught mike and interrogate him he would've said to Hank hey dumbass your brother-in-law is Heisenberg

[cleller]

I thought it was good the way Walt was Mr Big Tuff Guy at the start with all the "say my name" bravado, then at the end his true colors showed. He flinched in the showdown with Mike, then acted like a rash, insecure goof.

We all know terrible stuff has to happen, but still (like suckers) hoped all would turn out OK for Mike. Now I'm worried for Saul. Maybe he'll be the one person oily enough to slip thru.

This comment made by someone from another internet conversation I read:

"Hmm… her name is Gretchen Schwartz. Indeed, Schwartz is “black” auf Deutsch, but would she refer to herself as “GB”? Anyone know this character’s maiden name?

Todd has been taking detailed notes, and his loyalty is to his uncle, not Walt. I think the big gun is for the well-armed white supremacists, who (along with Todd) decide Walt needs to go."




People were saying Walt got the book from Gretchen Schwartz, from the Gray Matter connection. Walt could have just spaced about that book, if its origin was not really noted by him. IOW, the content of the book forgotten about.

[jk the sooner fan]

dude, - GB is Gale Boetticher - the chemist that helped Walt in the lab - the chemist that Jessie murdered with a gunshot to the temple

do you even watch this show?

When Hank was talking to Walt a couple of seasons ago about the writings found in Gale's book - he mentioned a W.W. and Hank asked who he thought that meant - Walt's famous "you got me" - then he says Walt Whitman

the inscription in the book said 'it was an honor to work with you"....

I'm only pointing out that it's possible it's from Gretchen. I never said it was likely, but found the comment interesting. Maybe even something you might have found interesting, if you weren't such a hateful guy. Are you still hanging out on that other board, as well?

and to think, I was about to commend you for appearing not to be such an angry loose cannon lately.

[jk the sooner fan]

oh geez, was i really that close to a commendation from you? boohoo

it cant be from Gretchen, it doesnt even make sense and isnt remotely consistent with past episodes

[Jacie]

Once again, Hank through dumb luck, gets a break. By my count, this blind pig has found four acorns so far? (Coming up on an angry Tuco who is armed with an M16 and killing him, surviving the bomb blast that killed the rest of the DEA agents, besting the Twins and now this).

My long-range story prediction, Hank will end up killing Walt.

Has any casino posted odds on the survival to the end of the series for the remaining characters?

[jk the sooner fan]

i cant imagine a scenario where Walt beats the DEA - whether its represented singularly by Hank - or an army of agents....that said, i also cant see where they end the show without Walt taking a few characters down with the ship

my original thoughts before the ending was that Skyler was going to be his main antagonist - but that's changed now. The show will likely become a spin off of The Fugitive

i'm racking my brain trying to figure out what Hank's next step is.....if he goes right to the DEA management with this news - he risks the same fate of his former boss for being shown the door because Fring was "right under his nose the whole time".....well hell, Hank and Walt are related - they break bread together, etc etc...the relationship is even worse in the eyes of the DEA than the one was with Fring and the former ASAC

so does Hank address it directly with Walt - putting Walt on the run? all sort of scenarios are likely - can't wait to see how it plays out

[yermom]

i think Hank has to start watching Walt now, off the record

would Walt go as far as taking Hank out if it comes down to it?

what would Hank see if he starts watching him now?

you could tell the episode was building to something. something had to go wrong. Walt can't just make a clean break from that world. someone is going to drag him back in and Hank is going to be there to watch.

can Walt convince him he was only cooking? does Hank know that Heisenberg is the boss now? i think if he thinks he was only cooking for Fring and to pay for cancer, etc... he might look the other way. if he figures out the truth, it's on.

Todd, Jesse, Jesse's uncle and cohorts, Lydia, the exterminators, the auto salvage yard, and the Phoenix drug operation. Maybe more?

[Jacie]

The snizz is, Skylar is in it up to her neck, too. Once Hank uncovers everything, is he going to turn in half his family? He stands to lose Marie if he busts her sister and Hank Jr. as well. Now Hank must become complicit.

It's not like Hank has not had the pieces of the puzzle in front of him already. The clues have been all over the place but, in his defense, it simply never occurred to him that his own brother-in-law could be a involved in the manufacture of crystal meth. Still, about all Walt has not done is jump up and down in front of Hank yelling, "I'm Heisenberg!" and you have to wonder if that would have been enough.

yep - he has to be really careful how he goes about this

you know - it just dawned on me that Hank has been told by his boss to lay off the Heisenberg case....only because of his doggedness did he start tailing Ermantrout's lawyer to circumvent his supervisors directive

now he's got an out at work - he can ignore the heisenberg case - and pursue Walt personally on his own dime/time

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

The boss said specifically to not do any more surveillance of Ermentrout. Hank then pursued surveillance on the lawyer that represented one or more of the guys in jail that they had apprehended in the Fring case. (who were later executed by Walt's hitmen in jail)

But yes, Hank has to deal with all thinking he too looked stupid or negligent if he prosecutes his BIL Walt. He prolly CAN become complicit, if he wants.

[WA. Sooner]

Has to watch out because his wife took drug money to pay for hanks medical needs. That would cast a shadow on hank and his wife

Yeah, I read one analysis that Walt is so big headed he keeps the book around out of arrogance. But putting the thing in the bathroom when you have a DEA agent for a brother-in-law? A pretty big reach, not worthy of the rest of the show.

We had to get to this stage somehow, I guess.

[Jacie]

If you were Walt (with his ego) and your brother-in-law was Hank, you'd figure the guy couldn't spell CAT if you spotted him the C and the T so leaving the book lying around was no big deal.

Want to speculate on Walt's demise? Someone mentioned the new kid's prison ties might boomerang on Walt.

Letting her die was yet another of Walt's calculated moves. It was the only way he could distract her father to cause the crash of the planes over Albuquerque. This season it will be revealed that a DEA informant with information about Heisenberg was a passenger on one of the planes . . .

Walt: "If that's true, and you don't know me. Then your best course of action might be to tread lightly."

BAM!

I didn't much like that part. After all, Hank is the one that dealt the deathblows when the two bad-*** hitmen came around. Anyway, it didn't ring right for me.

I have a feeling that wrapping things up isn't going to be as entertaining as when the show was expanding every week.

Series creator Vince Gilligan will likely opt for a climax that's unexpected yet somehow makes sense. Gilligan told TV critics last month that "I think most folks are going to dig the ending."


hmmmm

Hank did deal deathblows to them, but isn't this situation complicated by the fact that Walt is his brother-in-law?

[Jacie]

Walt's body count is much higher than Hank's and does not include the times he has dealt with the hard cases when he didn't have to kill anyone. Hank was always the buffoon who fell up the career ladder and only after surviving the turtle bomb and getting shot up came to grips with how dangerous is the job of DEA agent.

Walt is not in danger, Walt is the danger.

I think it speaks to how evil/crazy Walt really has become.

He's so ego driven that it crazy. Even in that situation, where it's clear he's "caught", he couldn't keep his ego in check.

It's just like Mike told him (right before Walt shot him), if he would have just kept his ego in check and his mouth shut, he could have made as much money as he wanted (and it never would have gotten to this point).

Hank see's himself as the "Godfather", and even in the face of guilt he can't help but to flex his muscle.

I actually thought it was an amazing moment in the show.

Hank has been my favorite character pretty much from the start, so the thought that the remaining episodes will have this crazy tension/story-line excites me.

Hank is a goofball, no doubt about it. He tries so hard to be "hard", but his anxiety is eating him from the inside out. I think I like Hank so much because as hard as he tries to be a badass (and in some ways he is), he's a big softy that thinks he's the funniest guy in the room.

Hank has good instincts and really, has come out of a lot of **** as well. i think they are good as adversaries.

the fact that they just can't kill each other makes it so much more complicated. there is a lot at stake in their personal lives. one can't just kill the other and go home like nothing happened.

I think that relationship is also going to ultimately prevent Hank from busting Walt.


I thought that the White's might end up in witness protection (as it seemed plausible that Walt could make a deal to flip on anyone/everyone), but given the sheer bodycount, I don't think that's even possible.

Then, with the way they did the beginning of the show, and Walk looking like a homeless guy, I have no idea what the hell is going to happen. Also, when he said "hi" to the neighbor, and she looked like she saw a ghost makes me think he may have staged his death. Then there's the whole ricin thing, I have no idea where that's going...

Admit it , 8tc, you don't know much.

They have a discussion of this show's final season over at LT as well. Some interesting observations and predictions. http://www.landthieves.com/board/showthread.php?59389-Breaking-Bad-final-season-discussion

I love how they shifted Walt's exact moral dilemma that is the basis of the show onto Hank for the final season. Beautiful.

I don't think she looked shocked and horrified because he faked his death -- I think she looked shocked and horrified because he's a wanted man. That fence around the house looked like something law enforcement may have put up.

I think she was scared ****less when she saw him because the truth about him is out in the public by that point.

Could be. The first reaction I had was "she looked like she just saw a ghost", but something happened that caused them to put up a fence around the house.

[Jacie]

The graffiti in the house (HEISENBERG) was the clue that the house was empty because Walt was a wanted man. It also suggests that Skylar is in jail.

I hate when that happens.

Lydia's drug connections, and Tod's prison connections are possible players, too. The remaining episodes are sure to be wild and wooly.

Todd is creepy

[8timechamps]

I'm telling you...somehow, Todd is going to get the quality of the meth back up to an "acceptable" level, and Hank is going to realize that even though he knows it's Walt, the operation is still alive. Walt is going to agree to rat everyone out in exchange for witness protection.


Or not.

[8timechamps]

Here's a question:

What (if anything) will Jessie tell Hank? I don't think he'll agree to turn on Walt, but I wonder if he says anything...
