Suppose you knew the Walt that existed in Season 3 or early Season 4. He was a longtime acquaintance of yours. Somehow you became aware of everything he had done up to that point. He was trying to flee the country, but he needed you to go grab a suitcase that contained a fake passport and some traveller's checks. If you bring him the suitcase, he disappears from the United States and never cooks meth again. No one dies on his account. There is a 0% chance that you will be caught. No one knows where Walt is, and you're on nobody's radar.

Do you bring him the suitcase?

I'd do it. I wouldn't do it for Season 5 Walt though.

It's pretty hilarious the kinds of lawyers these guys are using despite how much money they have got and how careful they are (especially Mike). Compare that to Avon/String in The Wire lol.

Saul is pretty much one of those low end TV lawyers. He made sense in terms of when Jesse and Walt were starting out but the fact he's still there is kind of ridiculous (though I and everyone else loves him which is probably why they kept him around).

I still think that idea someone had of having a Saul spin off with him handling hilarious/stupid domestic cases with the occasional very serious Walt and Jesse pop ins just to contrast how ridiculous the situation is lol.

Remember that they're in Albuquerque.

If it said "Greatest" I'd buy 4.

If it said this instead I'd buy 4 too (spoilers):

He is ridiculous, but he's been extremely loyal.

 

[rekameohs]

Saul actually seems like a pretty great sleazy lawyer, just posing as a more incompetent one.

No matter what season of Walt we're talking about here, this is not a reasonable scenario. He'd never do what you're describing and it'd never be 0-risk.

So no, because I wouldn't believe a thing he said about my chances. Or anything else, for that matter. The man's a pathological liar. I don't even see how that could be argued.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

They're not accounts, they're deposit boxes. And probably not in his name (they'd be in the recipients' name, probably). The ones he got her to open that time, they probably have probable cause for. But probably not the Kaylee one, unless the woman with the bank key told them about it.

exactly, so her money might be there still

 

[Darth Pinche]

I lost it at the shot of Saul's drawer with like 30 cell phones.

Great episode. Will Walt give Mike's cash to Jessie?

 

[BobTheFork]

exactly, so her money might be there still

Wouldn't the box have to be listed under her name for her to have eventual access? When they found her name on the holding account, they took that. Saul even mentioned they took his money twice.

Wasnt Mikes cash the stuff being put into the deposit boxes?

It should say Knocked out.

 

[thekad]

The moment he refused Gretchen and Eliot's offer everything was about his pride and ego. He had a way out right at the beginning, no different from the $5mil out he just had.

Whether you think that's a valid justification for everything he's done or not, that's pretty much fact.

Mike said they had a "good thing going" and Walt's pride and ego and need to be "the man" got in the way...which doesn't really make sense. That little kid dying and Jesse wanting to get revenge got in the way.

 

[Acrylamid]

Can Jesse still be saved?
I have the feeling he wants to make up for his sins.

... either that way or by by stopping Heisenberg. I had the impression he really considered talking to Skyler to make him stop - or was the meaning of this scene just to show us that he really wants to get away from Walt? I think it would fit Jesse to help others, especially since he knows that Walt's two kids are affected, too.

 

[Greg]

I'm still cheering for Walt.

 

[Cake Boss]

I am not, I hope he gets caught by the DEA. How many seasons are there suppose to be left.

Everytime he tries to be badass, I am just there cringing as hell. "Say my name" lulz.

I think she'd just need a key.

 

[Darth Pinche]

Wasnt Mikes cash the stuff being put into the deposit boxes?

The bag of cash that Mike had stashed in the trunk (with the gun).

 

[Stet]

The bag of cash that Mike had stashed in the trunk (with the gun).

Likely considerably smaller than 5 million considering how much was packed in his grand-daughter's safe deposit box.

 

[UrbanRats]

You could say Mike "got what he deserved", cause he wasn't a saint, but i would've liked him to get arrested. :\

As for Walt.. you're a piece of shit, man.

 

[SKINNER!]

Reading the reactions in this thread is absolutely delightful. So much rage and anger towards Walt :lol

 

[Finalow]

rip Mike

 

[Pimpwerx]

Walt is Scarface. Yeah, he's done some wrong, but he's the protagonist, and the best character on the show. He deserves to survive the maelstrom he's created. PEACE.

 

[Puddles]

Remember that scene in Season 2 when Walt is holding baby Holly, showing her his money stash, and he says,"You see this? I did this for you." That was one of the most touching scenes I've seen in a television show. It feels like decades ago.

[The Chef]

Mmm well thats a huge disappointment. Mike was such a great character. For Walt to stroll back over and shoot him through the window just didn't make any sense to me. There was just no reason to do it.

 

[LuchaShaq]

Those comics fucking slay me even though it's exactly the type of shit I usually hate like Dolan.

These comics are actually good though.

This. Saul is nowhere near as incompetent as he wants you to think. He seems like he's got a lot of ''connections".

 

[Kuroyume]

Totally agree. Would be so awesome if he lives.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Camera in Hank's office is a red herring. I've never seen a camera in a special agent's office before, but then again, this is a tv show.

That wasn't reason talking.
He just had it up to here of Mike, they were to part off one last time, and Walt was furious, so he shot him.
It was an anger guided decision.

Pretty,pretty...pretty good.

 

[Vlodril]

Just the transformation of him realizing he has to take everything into his own hands has been incredible.

Slowly but surely over these past seasons it's like every season was a lesson in him learning that he himself if the only one he can count on. And even crazier is that not wanting to back down he just keeps getting pushed harder and harder. This transformation has been amazing, and seeing him just finally fight back for the things in his life compared to how he has been all this show has just been really well done.

I agree. I like walter a lot. What i like about this season is that its no more half measures from him. He is all the way in. Empire building, train doesn't stop etc. He knows he has killed and will kill people before because he comes first so he doesn't care anymore.

I like that a lot better than jesse's naivete/hypocrisy. Not only he has killed people with his own hand what does he thinks the product he has been making the last years has been doing? Curing cancer? Please..

As for mike he fell victim to his own pride i think. Not only he was full of half measures this season, he just couldn't bring himself to work civil with Walter. Even in the end he had to have the final word. Also hypocritical since Gus planed to put Walter in a grave. So sorry Mike Walter didn't lie down to die conveniently for you.

 

[solarus]

So what are everyone's predictions about what will happen with Todd in this season, he's going to betray walt at some point once he gets cooking down right?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Is it Sunday yet? X_X

EDIT: Maybe Walt is gonna give Todd the Ricin cig to Win Jesse back :lol

 

[Syracuse022]

Well they just brought in Matt Damon, and he's been great so far.

I lol'd.

Getr done. finally someone who gets it. mike would be alive if he didnt chew walter out the way he did.

*sigh* ....yeah.

 

[Puddles]

Vince Gilligan doesn't have the balls to let Walt get away with it.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

The house is crashing fast around Walter now. I mean, hes not going to be able to kill those nine guys.

Can pretty much guarantee those 9 guys will be taken care of before the next episode is over.


The plot protection for Walt don't come off until the final 3 eps or so.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

I've read and heard complaints about the logic being flimsy and inconsistent with how and even if Mike should have died, but I think they handled it really well...excellently, even. Still wish the show would have gotten two proper thirteen-episode seasons to finish out with something more comfortable or a bit less dense than its current breakneck pace, just to match the spacing the show had in the last three seasons.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

On the real though, can we talk about how much Gilligan was directly trollin the internet with the cake pops and bacon cookies?

They're having a lot of fun with this bonus season / Overtime Breaking Bad.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Vince Gilligan doesn't have the balls to let Walt get away with it.

I'd like a Vic Mackey ending. Prison and/or death isn't the worst thing you can do to a character.

 

[Stet]

So what are everyone's predictions about what will happen with Todd in this season, he's going to betray walt at some point once he gets cooking down right?

Nah, he doesn't seem like the betrayal type. He seems more like the over-eager fuck everyone up by going the extra distance type.

Mike's lawyer was definitely a redditor

I agree with this, wonder why they opted to do it how they did. Still enjoying it anyway.
