Odd thing that bugged me with the episode was how it fucked with the timeline. Bin Laden was not caught yet.

the montage took a lot of time
I remember reading somewhere that Breaking Bad has been said to take place in 2011(50)-2013(52.) Season 5 occurring in roughly real-time.
But the show started in 2008. S1 to S5 happened in over a year and three months, roughly.
Nah, the timeline's all fucked up. Walt's birthday is in 1959, as shown on the divorce papers, and he's 50 in the pilot and 52 in the M60 clip, so 2009 and 2011 respectively. But then you've got license plates and posters all over with the "current" year/year of filming on them. And the bin Laden thing also screws things up. It's not really meant to be at a certain time.
This is a contradiction?
Walt (50: S1, 2, 3, 4) - 2011
Walt (51: S5) - 2012
Walt (52: S5) - 2013
Probably not true, though.

After long over due, due in part to moving into a new apartment and all the hecticness that entails, I finally caught this seasons last episode! Loved the mixture of subtlety and abruptness in those concluding moments. That episode from every piece of acting, to editing and direction may gel to be Breaking Bad's best ever. Currently, it's unfair to place it as high as an elite selection of past episodes because I have watched the full show up to season 4 a total of 3 times, yet this episode sticks out easily in the top 5.
Also, what is going on with the poison? Any theories? Is it correct to connect that brief sequence with a sequence we saw in the first episode I believe? What discussion has been brewing from that if it is indeed true?

Haha, everything posted in that thread was fake it seems. I just browsed it now and thought I spoiled myself of Skyler's death, but then I remembered they haven't filmed next season yet thank god.

Not to mention that Walt apparently drives a prototype of a car just released last February.
Very nice.
Jessie opening a door, the watch, and Tuco/Lydia are a stretch. Does the painting have a point or is it just a hint that there are hints?

Fuck, I now have no more TV shows to watch from now until Mad Men returns.
If the networks are going to continue making these short 8-12 episode seasons, they should seriously rotate them so they end as another begins. Breaking Bad can be the summer flagship, Mad Men can be the Fall Flagship and put in whatever for the winter and spring flagship.

Exactly what I wanted! Thanks.

No probs. I didnt make it though - just found the link on another board and thought it was cool.
Edit: Treme, Homeland, Boardwalk and Walking Dead will help with the hurt but my heart will still be aching.

Entourage did. One if it's seasons is part 1 and part 2 on DVD. So yes breaking bad WILL do that. Without a doubt.

I plan on going all out degen on Treme actually. Watching The Wire as it aired was one of the most painful experiences ever; I'd much rather consume it all in one large gulp so I'm waiting for a couple more seasons to be banged out before I jump aboard.
Third season starts later this month and the fourth is probably going to be the last. 2013/14 for you, I guess.

I really want this made.
I'm upset these aren't being used. I've just heard this for the first time and it's so much more ominous than the normal one. It's so good I wish they put it in. And the fan made one is amazing.

Yeah, I'm basically trusting David Simon to make a good show (not exactly a great leap of faith). Because I know Breaking Bad is supposed to end next year forever. So I figure I save Treme for the long dark months ahead when there's no good TV.

Call back to that episode in which Walt sees it a bunch of times. :X
Definitely has some symbolic significance with the family and the man leaving his family.
From IGN's review of S02E03 - Bit by a dead bee:
"The constant for Walt this week was the painting on the wall and we see it three times: when he's first in the hospital, when he's talking with the psychologist and when he returns to the hospital after seeing Walt Jr. and Skyler talk in the kitchen with one another..."

Get into Boardwalk Empire if you haven't yet. Top-tier show.
This is really cool.

This has probably been posted ages ago as it's from seasons 1-4, but I just watched it and it is awesome:

Both shows I had planned to start a month ago. Still hadn't got the time yet.
But I should figure it out soon. Boardwalk Empire really excites me.
Spoiler for the finale of Boardwalk Season 2:
They fucking killed Michael Pitt! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Guess that was the ticking time bomb.
Nice find.

Dave Chen on the Breaking Bad podcast "The Ones Who Knock" tore this episode a new one, and I think I agree with him.
If you could sum up his argument in a few bullet points, what would they be?

Something about too much time passing in that montage and all that passing time going against the way Breaking Bad always does things and Skyler being too comfortable and happy near the end or something. I don't know. I just listened to it about 15 minutes ago, but I've already forgotten it.
Exactly.
If Hank suspected Walt had any involvement, then he could have easily figured it out a million times before this, because Walt would have no idea that he suspects. Is Walt checking HIS car for a GPS tracking device? Hank suspecting Walt = Hank is the worst DEA agent / detective / police officer ever. "Maybe my brother in law is the meth kingpin I've been after this whole time and the reason I almost died... you know what I'm not going to take a single second to actually look into that."
Edit: And what Dean Norris has to say about that in any interview is totally irrelevant.

Breaking Bad has always used a lot of time lapse though that's nothing new, it's strange that suddenly it would become a problem. As for the amount of time that passed, that didn't bother me, but to each their own of course. As for Skyler, I think she was felt relieved because she's thinking Walt's out of the meth business. Personally I think his line about being out is complete bullshit, but we'll see in a year what happened.
