More and more I feel like the kids staying at Hank and Marie's is going to signal the death of Skyler by the end of this season.

More and more I feel like the kids staying at Hank and Marie's is going to signal the death of Skyler by the end of this season.

The mixture of that and the flash forward... yep, I can see that. Its going to be fucking crazy if this goes down and you've got to wonder if Walt is too far gone in trying to achieve some sort of redemption (as far as revenge and rectifying things, as much as he can) from that.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

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.

They knew what they were doing when they got in this business dude, c'mon.

 

[blainethemono]

wonder if they used the same tarantula that crawled on Walt's hand in 4 Days Out

 

[Lumpy Onion]

WTF I had no idea this season was being split up in half until just now. Now I feel kinda sad.

 

[squidyj]

sweet sweet podcasty goodness #islanders

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

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

Hahaha.

"'SOME HEIST'? What does that mean?"

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I saw this

[LuchaShaq]

The kid was just collateral damage. Still morally neutral!

Wait Walt pulled the trigger? Or said shoot? I must have been watching the wrong show!

Regarding scene from the sneak peak

Spoiler

Oh god Sky is the worst actor on the show, my decision to fast forward on her scenes begins now

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I think the one thing about Todd that made nobody expect him to kill the kid was the fact he isn't bald.

He'll shave his head next episode

I'd laugh

After dumping the woman and kid

Spoiler

maybe they're going to the "cleaners" to get their new identities or something. Idk. The desperate part of me doesn't want that to happen, and I don't think both of them would turn themselves in like that just to stop Walt. And Mike seemed to be tired of getting tailed all the time now too.

Don't freight trains have to back up first to get some slack in the connected cars before it can move forward again?

dude, this is tv

 

[Lonestar]

"It's always darkest before the dawn"



So Hank is Harvey Dent, right.

I said so earlier during the broadcast

 

[Curtisaur]

Maybe Walt's reaction to the kid's death will start planting a seed in Jesse's mind that Walt had something to do with Brock's poisoning.

 

[Emily Chu]

Can only imagine how sweaty her feet are getting under all this pressure.

nnnnnnghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I said so earlier during the broadcast

Todd was born in the darkness. Molded by it.

 

[oatmeal]

Damn.

Awesome awesome episode.

This show.

Sky- "Are you out burying a body?"

Walt- "No. Robbing this train....with no survivors."

nnnnnnghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh[/QUOTE]

Creepy :lol. But I have a huge crush on her.

Todd really looks like Matt Damon's son or something.

This episode was holy shit amazing. The ending was just... how he waves at the kid and then shoots him.

Like Aaron Paul said, things are getting darker and darker on the show.

 

[squidyj]

Last season I watched all the promos, this season I'm not, so much better.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

This kids kind of dense. When I was little and I saw something shady you know what I did? I KEPT WALKING YO.

That's right. I'm hating on the innocent child who just got popped in the head.

#teamSociopath

 

[giancarlo123x]

I...I...think I shit myself.

 

[snack]

Tood looks like an ugly version of Matt Damon.

 

[MidnightCowboy]

What an episode. My favorite parts of the show are always the desert scenes, they're just so much more beautiful than Albuquerque or any set could ever be. The music during the heist was so frantic, I loved it. Masterful tension throughout, and then that ending, my god.

 

[Speevy]

This episode is actually a grim reimagining of Spiderman.

That kid will be back.

 

[EleventhDoctor]

Oh my lord this is quite the tenses

 

[MormaPope]

That episode is perfect. Best heist or operation in the show. Walter pushing Jesse and Todd to their limits, the entire delaying the train aspect, and Todd showing how loyal he is to Walter.

I mean, Walter pretending to be distressed about his family issues to bug his brother in law's office at the DEA? I was genuinely and pleasantly shocked at that.

One of my personal favorite episodes.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

i love this show

I am trying to think if I have ever seen TV this good before. Can't say that I have.

 

[Fry]

Look at this cold motherfucker.

If Walt had done this, GAF would've gone cray cray.

 

[Wario64]

lol Walt doesn't give a fuck

 

[MormaPope]

Lydia asking Walter to swear on his kids lives, Walter ignoring that and essentially not willing to do so. That's actually brilliant because Walter can't prevent unforeseen incidents that may or may not happen to his kids, he may or may not have dodged that arbitrary pact, but that doesn't change the point.

Look at the kid that Todd killed, would that kid's parents swearing their lives to their child mean anything when people like Walter and Todd exist?

I'm not even really against what Todd did, his ruthless demeanor and loyalty makes him a cruel professional.

Note I didn't say what he did wasn't bad, but man, his character is fantastic.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I feel really bad for Jessie. This shit's gonna haunt him till the end. He's always had a soft spot for kids. His reaction to Todd pulling out the gun was gutwrenching.

 

[Fry]

I think that if Skyler finds out that a kid died in the process of Walt's work, that would be it for her. She would go straight to Hank and confess.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Look at this cold motherfucker.

If Walt had done this, GAF would've gone cray cray.

If Walt did it, GAF would have blamed Skyler.

 

[wenis]

That's not entirely true, there is another drama show where that did happen, but well, I can't exactly say what the show was, because it would spoil it, but those who have seen will know what I'm talking about, probably.

what network?

and this episode was nuts... FUCKING NUTS

 

[dLMN8R]

Jesus what an amazing episode of TV.

EW described why perfectly:

http://watching-tv.ew.com/2012/08/12/breaking-bad-season-5-episode-5/

Bad moves at such a swift, assured pace that what, in another show, would seem ludicrously elaborate (getting a Vamanos bug guy to dig two pits with a back hoe alongside the railroad track; exchange the chemical for water to keep anyone from noticing a weight change; stopping the train by having a truck “stall” on the track) — all of this was set in motion so smoothly, staged and shot with such economy and clarity (you always knew where every character was, what he was doing, and when he was doing it), that the heist did indeed seem as though it was the most logical way for Walt and Jesse to be able to continue their bug-bomb-house cooks.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

what network?

Pretty sure he's thinking of a HBO show.
