I liked the previous episode more due to the pool scene, the bedroom fight with Walt and Sky and the ending scenes. this episode was cool more due to the fact that it setups the next episode to be even better. But the visuals this season have been amazing.

cinematography has always been amazing on this show. Way beyond any other TV show.
I don't know, Treme is a pretty strong competitor in that regard. It's not as experimental, but the lighting in particular is extremely strong on Treme.
Oh, and Luck was a visual masterpiece. Too bad about that one.
For sure. Full with creative shots. Shovelcam! One of my favorite shots from the show for some reason. It's so weird.

disagree, seasons 1-4 have been alright in that regard but season 5 has stepped it up a lot. Makes me think that they got a budget increase.

I'm mixed on this ep.
The lead-up was fantastic. The ending was one of those clunky BB twists that kind of drive me nuts (e.g. plane crash and Brock poisoning).

I do have to say, I'm really glad that (at least so far) they've avoided making Madrigal the next big baddie in Gus's absence. After Tuco, the cousins, and Gus, it would've been a bit formulaic to go that route and before the season started I was worried that that was where they were going.

Are you serious? Go back and watch 1-4 again. Some of the best camera work on television. The POV shots are amazing.

I wonder what else he has in his Mad Props folder.
How did I never notice this. I feel terrible now. I missed something!

We need less Mike, he's just the same action movie or detective show hard ass that we've seen a million times. We need more Saul, more Sky, more family dynamics in general, and for fuck's sake more Jesse.

It's not as embarrassing as the fact that Hank uses Internet Explorer.
Wondered that myself. Pretty clumsy move on his part. My guess is that it'll quietly be forgotten about, but that seems really clumsy for a show as meticulous about details as this one.

One of the best shot shows ever? Yes. "Way beyond any other show"...can't cosign that.

I was talking about the visuals, like the colors and lighting and whatnot. I've always loved the camera work in BB.

Has anybody mentioned Walt's hat? Sorry if this has been discussed.
Walts hat, the one he wears when he is Heisenberg doesnt the DEA have a sketch of an alleged Heisenberg which includes the hat and looks like Walt?. I feel as if it was in one of the earlier seasons, involving Hank and the DEA, just when the name Heisenberg was becoming a player in meth.
Am I wrong?

He'll probably go back for it next episode, that's what I'm assuming.
I dunno man, unless we see some shit tie together really good in the future this one kinda feels like a filler ep to me atm. Of course it was very great to watch, but still
That's the user name :lol, I bet Jesse made it
These are simple names, you know what else is simple? ...Being bald.
Next episode can't come soon enough. There will probably be lots or arguing, hopefully followed by a lot of Walt's one liners that we all love.
Does Top Gear UK count? Best in my opinion. The cinematography and lighting is great in Breaking Bad no doubt. Except last episode where they did that cheesy Car showoff in the driveway with the dubstep. I like how high contrast Walt... Heisenberg is lit up most of the time, strong key, strong rim and a softer fill giving him a harsh front shadow that splits his face.
This season is pretty great. 2 more episodes left until a long wait. :|
Below: Oh, thought Dead-Freight was episode 6, lol. Thanks!

That car scene with Walt and Jr was the first time I absolutely hated a song choice from BB, how do you go from Alexander Ebert's Truth to playing some shitty dubstep crap?
One thing about the finger prints on the receiver: First you have to assume that they would even be able to lift usable prints off of it which, considering smudging and possible degradation, is a long shot in itself. Then you have to match the prints against something. Any prints they get would be useless without being able to match them to prints on file, and why would Walt's finger prints be on file?
He's never been arrested, so it wouldn't be in a police database. He was likely printed when he was working at those high security labs back in the day, but it's unknown if the DEA would (a) have access to those files, or (b) would think to check them.
My point is that it's a bit of a loose end currently, but not a large one in the real world.

He got arrested once when he got pulled over and popped off on the cop over the whole plane crash thing in season 3. I'm not sure if he was processed though since Hank got him off the loose pretty quickly.
Good point, and yeah, I don't think it got to the booking stage, but I'd have to rewatch that scene to double check.

I feel like that whole train speech and the climatic train robbery sequence was a foreshadow for walter whites meth empire. Sweet perfect success but with a very bitter sad ending.

Dude....what the fuck. Crazy fucking episode this week. Breaking Bad is the one show on TV where I can't predict what will happen next.
FInally able to get back online....WOW what an episode eh?
This reminds me of the teaser:
I was laughing for about an hour when I heard that, the way he said it was too funny

Jessie: Are we in the meth business? or the money business?

Nope. They would've still celebrated, seen the kid and Todd would've reacted similarly.
Yep unless they got out of there in 2 minutes he kid was going to show up regardless. I'm guessing they needed to pick up the gear with the truck so they would've been there for a while.
nope.
Either way that kids fate was sealed from the moment they spotted him. Wrong place Wrong time.

Yes, and although I consider it one of the best shows of alllll time overall, I think the cinematography is better on this show. Only negative I have about BB is sometimes it gets a bit show-offy. But that's just a testament to how good they are.
