Trying hard for that tag quote, huh?

They had to kill the kid, they've fucked up so much its about time somebody stepped up and didnt let there "morals" cloud the right choice. You dont go half in with this type of life, theres no room for it. Eithier you go all the way in, or you make for another run of the mill show.

All Im saying is, bad guys make movies good and the "good guy" schtick is common and tiresome in almost all TV and movies, bad guys are another demension we never see fully cause theres so many sad sacks who relate celluloid to real life and cant deal with them without them getting thier comeuppance sooner then later.
So many great "bad guys" have let moral choices lead to thier demise, be it Scarface or Walt numerous times.

We all know what will fail, we know the ending cant be flowers and sun shine, but till then the more they all fall into deeper into the darkness, it makes for way better then TV then "Bad guy is bad, good guy is good"

I had a hunch that Todd couldn't be trusted or something like that.

... I didn't think he would do THAT. D:

 

[crimzonflame]

I honestly thought the ending would be Todd dying or getting seriously injured jumping off the train.

 

[triplestation]

What do you guys think Walt and Mike will think of Todd's action?

 

[Judderman]

skyler continues to show her complete villainy. kudos to walt for remaining the lone reasonable voice of the show. and to todd, the young go-getter with a heart of gold.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

I LOVE Bill Burr. He needs to be on the show more often.

 

[Thoraxes]

Was anyone else hoping for a hug after the "YEAH BITCH!"?

 

[beelzebozo]

that seems to indicate that within the context of their needs he can be trusted, in the ways that matter to the business.

 

[Cornballer]

I honestly thought the ending would be Todd dieing or getting seriously injured jumping off the train.

That's what I was thinking, too. Maybe he'd get the hose wrapped around his leg and get pulled under the train or something.

 

[blame space]

I'm not reading this thread any more too much trolling. great ep.

 

[Plasmid]

Overall from tonight

The heist, very well done. Although we had 20 minutes left until the end of the episode (including commercials) they did very well to pace it and make sure it didn't seem too short.

The kid? holy shit, i can't wait to see jesse's reaction.

THIS SHOW.

 

[beelzebozo]

I LOVE Bill Burr. He needs to be on the show more often.

hey, you know, i hadn't even thought about it, but i love when this guy is on screen. you're absolutely right. the mark of a good character actor is that i don't even realize how much they're elevating the material, or how much i'm actually enjoying it, until someone points out just how much they bring. he makes every scene he's in really fun.

 

[Mindlog]

You absolutely knew a kid picking up a spider

The train horn was a bit much.

I honestly thought the ending would be Todd dying or getting seriously injured jumping off the train.

Some part of me thought that Todd was a narc. Too baby faced and clean-cut.

 

[Deleted member 81567]

Anyone wanna take a guess of what the spider symbolized?

 

[Black Mamba]

That's what I was thinking, too. Maybe he'd get the hose wrapped around his leg and get pulled under the train or something.

I thought he was going to fall into the tank. Would have been hilarious and set up a lot of problems.

Anyone wanna take a guess of what the spider symbolized?

Technically, a tarantula, no? I really don't know.

 

[Nameless]

What do you guys think Walt and Mike will think of Todd's action?

I wouldn't be surprised if Walt does to Todd what Gus did to Victor. Walt did come to the conclusion that Gus' killing of Victor was a result of a soldier over stepping his bounds.

 

[triplestation]

Anyone wanna take a guess of what the spider symbolized?

I donno the kid was just a kid being a kid fascinated by nature and shit but then Todd.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Anyone wanna take a guess of what the spider symbolized?

Skyler being a cunning female

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

It's kind of funny how Breaking Bad is a perfect measurement of how morally bankrupt you can be.


"How far did you get into Breaking Bad before you started to think what was going was unforgivable and that things had gone too far?"


"Middle of S5"


"Mother of God." *backs away slowly*

THIS SHOW.

He's gonna put a gun in his face and shoot him, but he isn't gonna be nervous and shaky about it. It's gonna be like

Spoiler

Stanley Richmond killing John Goetz

in Jericho.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I'm not reading this thread any more too much trolling. great ep.

Yeah, I hate to say it but the trolls won. It was one horrible thing when they were just victimizing Skyler with their faux (or real I guess) misogyny, but a kid gets shot and they're still going with the gag. It's a little much. I like having a place where I can make my amazing Uncanny X-Force/Friday Night Lights mash-up references without spoiling all of the internet on Twitter, but it's not worth it wading through these fake (and occasionally real) Walt Hero posts.

Congrats dudes, here's a picture for you.

 

[Salaadin]

Anyone wanna take a guess of what the spider symbolized?

I thought the spider was going to crawl through spilled methylamine and then bite the kid. Kid becomes spider man and swings through the desert, stopping Walt and his evil drug empire.

 

[Sean]

Holy shit, that episode was directed by one of the writers (George Mastras) in his first directing assignment ever.

Uh.. nice rookie effort.

Wow, this dude should be proud.

I figured such a complex episode like this (involving trains and such) would be directed by a season vet, definitely didn't seem like a first time director. Guy did a fantastic job.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Anyone wanna take a guess of what the spider symbolized?

Taking things off their natural course.

The meth, the kid's life, Everyone's "no killing" morals, etc.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Skyler being a cunning female

As stated earlier she did call the fact that he would be burying a body. IT FITS.

 

[Talon]

Why does Todd look so familiar...

 

[Beelzeboss]

You absolutely knew a kid picking up a spider was going to die during that episode? I just get a kick out of the fact that the more shocking the ending, the more people who come post they saw it happening all along.

Yeah like I said they pretty much hit us over the head with it.

I even posted he was gonna see them pull off the heist after the opening.

 

[Stet]

Why does Todd look so familiar...

He's Matt Damon's son.

 

[brianjones]

jesus that music when hank comes back into his office over walt's shoulder

this show is fucking tense

and that opening shot with lydia in the chair was like a horror movie

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

"It's always darkest before the dawn"



So Hank is Harvey Dent, right.

 

[beelzebozo]

[TripOpt55]

Great episode. Awesome heist. Ending was crazy. I want to make an FNL joke here. I really do.

 

[Black Mamba]

"It's always darkest before the dawn"



So Hank is Harvey Dent, right.

I thought he was florance and the machine.

I thought everyone was joking, that idiom dates back to like the 17th century.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Haven't watched the ep yet but a rerun should be coming on in like 10 mins on AMC right?

 

[Plasmid]

[EYEL1NER]

Haven't watched the ep yet but a rerun should be coming on in like 10 mins on AMC right?

Started like 15 mins ago.

 

[Black Mamba]

Started 20 mins ago. Sorry. Another one on in another hour or so.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Well, duh, I know that. I've read history books dude, I know Harvey Dent was a real person.

don't even bother, the show is so predictable you already know the outcome.

 

[Thoraxes]

Skyler being a cunning female

It said something about fertility in there...

So fertile... for the Earth...

worth mentioning that the walt-jessie-mike trio are currently holding both skyler and lydia under (implicit and explicit) threat of death in to the scheme.

 

[rCIZZLE]

Yeah like I said they pretty much hit us over the head with it.

Well, like I said... the more shocking the ending, the more people post that they predicted it. I'll just leave it at that.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

fuck me

 

[Talon]

Thank you!

They forgot to kill the tarantula. They're fucked.
