Cranston and Paul dress up for the wrap party every year. These are two of their better costumes. First one is a still photo from the crew and the second is from one of the dvd extras, iirc.

Haha, I just saw this. Seems like the prop team decided to have a little fun when designing the Pollos batter buckets.
I don't know why only some of the stuff is underlined. The whole thing is great.
Thats Arrested Development levels of awesome. Why is chicken semen on there twice
I have no idea, since she didn't have a baby. She must have just legitimately gained weight. I think they noticed the hate she got in season 4 for her weight, so she slimmed down in season 5.
I'm pretty sure there's no story reason.
Because even if her maiden last name is something with a B, the fact that the inscription refers to "my OTHER favorite WW" in a book by Walt Whitman, when Gale's inscription in his notebook is to his obvious favorite W.W. goes beyond them simply being linked by the "G.B." Unless Gretchen also just so happens to be a huge fan of Walt Whitman (that makes TWO GB'S that love Walt Whitman and have taken to referring to him as W.W.). There are far too many stretches there for it to ever be believable and I would want to punch Vince Gilligan in the mustache if he made Walt or Hank that dumb and assumed I would be that dumb too. (Vince Gilligan would never do that though, so his mustache is safe.)

Grilled.
Grilled? Tuco takes Walt and Jesse to visit uncle Hector.
Oh yes, very tense episode. The dinner scene was crazy suspenseful.

I'm really hoping that the whole thing with Gus' mysterious background is revealed in the last episodes, but I'm worried that now we have the 'main' storyline for the rest of the season that it will be dropped, and then it will forever grate on me! It seemed really significant but has been essentially swept under the carpet now.
You know, the fact that "she" wrote it in Leaves of Grass could infer she's a Walt Whitman fan right? The connection is W.W. and G.B. Initials are hardly a smoking gun, however Walt can use the ambiguity to dodge the question assuming her maiden last name starts with a B. (Hell, even if it doesn't he can buy time to initiate his escape because he knows Hank is about to find him out after he lies and says it's her.)
It wasn't her belly they showed in the first place anyway. Marie was the one that was pregnant on set and they just ended up using her belly for shots of pregnancy. She might have IRL had a baby during S4 tho.

I'd guess the end of bullet points where walt is looking everywhere for jesse and goes up to the camera and does the WHERE IS HE thing and then it cuts to mike driving jesse out to nowhere
Yes, and that has absolutely nothing to do with what I said. I'm not having a logical issue with Gretchen giving him the book because she happens to be a Walt Whitman fan. I'm having an issue with the logical leaps involved in her being a huge Walt Whitman fan in the first place, while also happening to have the initials GB, and taking to referring to him as W.W. (and having the same handwriting).
If Walt tried to play that card to me and I was Hank, I would shoot him right then and there on principle.
Not to mention the fact that that book looks brand new and probably has a copyright/print date inside it that mentions it was printed within the last 20 years -- roughly the age the book would have to be for it to be an accurate inscription from Gretchen since they haven't been "working" together (present tense) in decades.
It is an asinine excuse and neither Walt, Hank, nor the writers would ever entertain it for a second.
You're giving the writers wayyyyyyy too much credit. Hank tracked down the RV and huge lead regarding blue meth to Jesse in the junkyard. He has a confrontation in which he CONVERSES THROUGH THE DOOR OF THE RV to Jesse; gets drawn away by a call claiming Marie is in distress and then beats Jesse to a pulp. Next thing you know he gets reprimanded and shot and then what? He's not worth keeping tabs on anymore because the RV is gone?
Bullshit.
He followed Mike to the ends of the earth because of a suspicion yet Jesse is given a pass why? Hank can only be as perceptive as the writers make him. Of course Hank could go back and place all the events together and figure it out. Of course the inscription was the match that lit the fuse; but all Hank has right now is a suspicion. Walt most definitely can use Gretchen as a temporary scapegoat in this situation, because Hank has absolutely no evidence. Even if Walt does use Gretchen as the excuse for the inscription, it's not going to get him off the hook. This isn't Dexter where everyone is willfully obtuse and is this case we know time is running out. But to say he can't use it as misdirection because Gale used initials and the ironclad argument that no two people can like walt whitman doesn't make sense.
I think this is absolutely true. Hank will not say a word. He has the upper hand now (Walt doesn't know that he knows) and he will use it to his advantage as opposed to showing his cards immediately. I see this as 100x more likely and more in line with the series than him confronting Walt and Walt throwing him off with such a contrived excuse. On top of all that, Hank is going to have a retroactive epiphany about the litany of obvious things Walt has done now that he has finally been un-blinded. Walt's bullshit excuses/stories worked before, when preconceived notions about him led to Hank not even entertaining the idea of him being anything but a geeky pushover. This glowing neon sign: "WALT IS HEISENBERG" changes everything. No bullshit like that would work, not even temporarily, not for a second.
I'm not sure about that. Hank likes to be personal in how he conducts his investigations. Riding along for the raid at Mike's place and showing up in person for the Fring questioning show that he wants to get a read on the situation.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Why would he waste time chasing around what he considers to be a street level dealer, when he has Gus Fring's fingerprints at the dead chemists apartment. He gave up on Pinkman because he found Gus.
I think you're missing the point Hank isn't corrupt and hasn't Broken Bad yet.
He bowed out when Kramer told him he needs a warrant, and called one in. He stopped chasing Jesse because he knew how fucked up it was to beat him to a pulp without any actual evidence. He tailed Mike within the confines of the law.
Hank isn't stupid. He's a frustrated law enforcer who keeps getting his hands tied.

He had actual evidence in those cases.
There is infinitely more dramatic irony to be had in a situation where Hank knows, but Walt doesn't know he knows, than there is in a straight-forward confrontation over a book. Imagine all the scenes between Hank and Walter where Hank was a fool because of what Walter knew that he didn't... They can now be turned on their heads and Walt can be the fool for once. It's a no-brainer from a writing standpoint. I'll be very let down by the writers if they fail to realize this potential and instead have some stupid immediate confrontation that drains all the suspense out of this situation.
edit: maharg's nailed it again. When he suspected Fring did he go after him immediately? No... played it close to the vest, watched him, secretly got his fingerprints from him, all while never letting on to Fring that he suspected him. It was fun to watch, and he'll do the same with Walt.
A loose affiliation to madrigal for Fring and the fact that Mike was Fring's security guard?
If hank makes a statement on the book it's not going to happen right away. I think they can play the Hank knows and Walt has no idea angle for a couple episodes before Hank reveals his hand. I think the season will concern Hank pursuing Walt unbeknownst to him before the reveal happens and Walt has to fight or flee in the last couple episodes.
He got Fring's fingerprints from a refill on his drink when he was ostensibly just having lunch (to Walt Jr. and I believe the audience at the time). All the while he was actually quietly stalking Fring, gathering evidence. Walt Jr. even directly references this game of cat and mouse in S5E1... possibly foreshadowing what Hank will do to Walt in the near future.
In the former, enough to talk to him on the level that he did (I don't recall him showing his whole hand), and in the former... yes? Exactly? Are you implying that's not reason enough to bring someone in for questioning?
Hank will talk to Walt. He'll dance around it. But if they have him blurt out "hey so where'd you get this book" it'll be the dumbest thing to ever happen in this show. So immensely incredibly dumb. Wasted potential both narratively and in terms of investigation.
By the time the book comes up, Hank will have something real. I'd bet on it if I were a betting man.
Here lies W.W. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDqq_13IIyo
I came up with this theory first you jerk!!! Give me credit.
Now I have to ask: did you know this answer the whole time and decided to quiz the thread? or were you crowdsourcing your intense search for the answer?

corniest shit ever.
I hate that phrase.
I don't believe that at all. The opening of Season 5 should be the testament of that. I just think Walter is reveling in this..."mode", and he was clearly showing regret and longing during that denny's scene. Some heavy shit must've happened to knock him back to his senses.
As incredibly cheesy as that statement is, Bryan Cranston even said the same thing, regarding "Crawl Space".

Without reading the rest of this thread yet (hey it's a game!) I think this is from S04E13. Start of the episode with Walt under the car. Probably am completely wrong but eh!
edit : awww, wrong.
Some part of it is in it though! ... I think.Call it what you like, but I think it's true. The irony of the series is that cancer did kill Walt, just not physically.
Yeah.
But I think he was about to ditch his Heisenberg mode for good. And he will, until he finds out Hank found out about him.
He can't. He can try to hide it, but the fact is that it is his true nature now. He revels in every little thing about it. He enjoys the respect, the power, the dangers, people being afraid of him, etc. He has drank his own kool-aid.
This isn't going to be a series about redemption. It's the opposite.
