its abouttttttime walt and jesse started the dream team back up. Im glad I watched the 2 seasons building up to this it was well worth it.
you don like hank?! he's the only one with any sense of morals like his actor said at the end. he'll be back and im glad, i love the character. except for when he punched in my boy jesse's face I thought jesse was dead and I was literally yelling at the tv
Downloading the latest episode now.
I have a feeling that Hank will live. I don't know why, but at least if he died Heisenberg's wife couldn't blame it on Heisenberg since the dead mexican guys are right next to him. I don't like (the character) Hank because I feel like he puts up a front. Not that he feels superior or anything, but that he always wants to be buddy buddy and jovial with everyone when he isn't. I am neutral towards his job choice, and even somewhat sympathize with his slow disintegration into violence and treachery in order to catch Jessie.
At first I thought that Morpheus simply tried to give Heisenberg three months in order to train Heisenberg's successor. But I like that Morpheus exceeded my expectations and was simply stalling for time in order to save Heisenberg's life.
Heisenberg was smart in making Jessie his partner again, but I feel sorry for his old partner. I feel like somehow Heisenberg will be punished for this wrongful firing. Like it will come back to bite him.
I thought that Jessie's monologues in the last episode were very moving. Now that we know that Jessie's product is indeed as good as Heisenberg's (unless Heisenberg was just manipulating him) I am looking forward to seeing Jessie evolve into a more mature and in control individual. We already saw this when he decided to play smarter on the streets when he got out of rehab, even though he was stupid in leading Hank to the trailer.
My favorite thing about first season vs. second season was seeing Heisenberg go from being a total pussy chem teacher to holding a bag of money, blowing shit up to threaten gang bosses... and being... well, Heisenberg. I hope to see Jessie undergo a similar badass transformation. While all of Jessie's development has been a somewhat forced result of his stupidity, I am hoping that this punch in the face was a catalyst for a different sort of growth into badassness.

DAMN WALT!! DAMN WALT!!
He's past the point of return now. Don't forget to watch the season finale next Sunday!

Siiiick
I really thought walt was gonna rat on jesse, but in the end he had balls.
Victor shooting that guy through the wall was the best thing ever.

ya, i loved how he used the asian guy to get his target spot on lol.
I find it unbelievable that this show has so little discussion. Just a heads up, the first episode of season five (the final season) airs this Sunday at 9pm on AMC. After last season's ending, I cannot wait.

Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

Since it aired, it's ok to start a discussion about this, but if you have not seen episode 1 of season 5, then I strongly suggest that you avoid this post and all that follow it like the plague.
Alright, this season is going to be absolutely insane. In case you missed the hints about the direction Walt has fully embraced last season, it's crystal clear as of episode 1 of this season. Walt is through with ANY level bullshit and is sinister as hell...evil even. While it is quite entertaining to watch his new found confidence and air of just not giving a fuck, realistically speaking he should probably watch himself a bit. No doubt he's earned some level of machismo, but other than his wits and Jesse, he's still alone and without connections. Mike on the other hand, has a gun still, and probably still has connections. If he really wants Walt dead, he could still make that happen given that he's willing to off Jesse. To Walt's credit, he did manage to forge Jesse into a willing shield, which is (obviously) why Mike hasn't shot him.
Of even greater concern is Tyrus - the black dude that replaced Victor last season and escorted Gus to the nursing home where he got face-offed. The news reports mentioned 2 people dead in the explosion, Gus and old man Hector. Tyrus was there as well but there was no mention of him in the reports. I remember speaking to some friends of mine at the end of last season concerning that scene, and one of them mentioned that Tyrus was in a good position to duck into the bathroom and shut the door to avoid the worst of that explosion...given that he noticed what was about to happen early enough. It looks like that's exactly what happened. He'd then be able to hop out the back window and make a getaway. I don't think Tyrus is going to be Walt's ally at all, considering that bomb nearly took him out along with Gus. Not to mention that he did seem loyal, and unlike Mike, I don't think Tyrus gives a shit about Jessy.
Then, there are the doctors that took care of Gus and Mike in the deserts of Mexico/Southern U.S. I can't imagine that the people I've mentioned are the only ones left who know of Walt. His identity is definitely out there. To make matters worse, far worse, there's a power vacuum left by Gus' death. Gus was THE major regional distributor of meth (and maybe other stuff too...can't remember.) With him gone, you better believe others are going to want to come in or expand into this newly opened market and vie for supremacy. Knowledge of Walt's skills as a cook is also something that I'm sure is out there.
All this to say that, even if Walt wanted out of the drug business, I don't think he could get out. Luckily for him, it doesn't look like he's even thinking of that as an option.

Surprised there's not more discussion about this great, great show. I'm a bit sad that we've only got a couple more episodes before another long wait, but at the same time I don't mind so much because it's something to look forward to.
Walt has no reason to be sympathized with any more. He's one bad dude now.

Oh yeah, redemption at this point seems...pffft. This last episode in particular spelled it out for us. He won't take 5 million dollars to get out of the game. I was honestly expecting him to be unable to get out, not unwilling to get out. He also didn't really give a shit about the dead kid. That scene with him whistling as he got back to business after sending Jesse home was kind of funny.
I blame Skyler for pushing him over the edge btw. She wants to be afraid of Walt for the things he *had* to do on account of her spending money on Ted Beneke. No love or moral support, just fear and death wishing. I'm convinced that the real reason she picked up smoking again is to try and help his cancer along. She seems to make it a point to pull out a cigarette anytime they're around each other.
Now, it's just a matter of seeing how this ends. Does Walt die, or does he become a badass kingpin?

Oh there's no doubt in my mind he'll get his comeuppance. Whether it's in death or legal consequence, who knows. Hank probably has to catch him eventually otherwise his character would have been a bit pointless. But I suppose Walt can be caught and also die, they're not mutually exclusive.

Mike!!! NoooooO!!!!!!
"Shut the fuck up, just let me die in peace"
best quote of the series to date.....
.....other than "Yo bitch!" of course.
What about (also from this ep):
"You're Eisenberg."
"You're god-damned right."
or whatever it was.

Oh shit, yeah. That did made me giddy like a school girl with a vibrator on full blast.
Jesus, Walt's hubris is WAY out of control now. I don't think what he did to Mike will bring him back from the brink either. What else does he have?
But he was clearly still broken up about it... the instant he did it. And even as he was doing it. Then when he realized he didn't have to he was nearly in tears. He's yet to entirely break that infamous bad.
I didn't take it as him being upset about killing him, but rather that he didn't need to do it because he could have gathered the info he wanted elsewhere. To me it was more like "oh crap, sorry about that Mike, didn't really need to do it".

That is how I felt about it as well, with maybe a small twinge of regret. He literally has nothing left in his life but cooking meth. The thing that kind of irks me is that at first Skyler was shocked, then embraced the money and was more than willing to help Walt launder money, but now she seems to act like she had nothing to do with how Walt made his money. Yes, he is horrible to her, but I don't know how bad I feel for her.Originally Posted by Raven
1 more episode! then we wait a year...
