Lmao at the cries for "confident" or "cornered" Jesse. The Jesse depicted in today's episode is the only resolutely human personage on the show, the only person not subjected to gratuitous caricaturing by the series' writers. It's as though everyone her has not a clue how actual human beings work.
This show is entertaining, but it's obvious with this first episode of the last stretch that it's never joining the pantheon of the greatest shows on television. Breaking Bad is an elaborate, beautifully shot, well-performed farce and just doesn't compare to television's best.

oh my god that last scene.
Future Walt has another loose end to deal with...Carol! What's interesting is Walt didn't look like he had any intentions to do anything about her yet. I expected an evil "it had to be done" look on his face but we didn't get that. He probably have lost his Heisenberg persona by then also due to the fact he isn't walking around with a shaved head.
It was naive of Walt to think he can simply walk out of the game. Lydia's request of Walt giving a tutorial is totally the logical and I'm glad the writers addressed this and pretty much everything so far. They got their shit covered!
Well except for one thing imo - the book. Walt knows Hank knows of the book (*prior to Hank finding it in the restroom I mean). Hank is a regular guest of the house. As meticulous as Walt is, I find it hard to believe he'd just leave that book lying around in the restroom for Hank to easily, accidentally find. It was hard for me to believe.
But anyways, that last line. You know Walt was willing to go far, but that line was pretty much a statement that he may be willing to take out practically family at this point.
The party is so anti or pro-Walt, I just don't see how BB can have a satisfying ending for all. I honestly wouldn't even know what I would want as the perfect ending. I just know I will be sad to see it end. :_:

About the Jesse emo thing. How is it even possible for him to maintain it for soo long? Jane's death was pretty damn tragic, and he got over it. Then his new gf's kid being killed. Then being forced to kill Gale! Who he also got over, which has got to be the apex of his emo ways. I guess he found out Walt offed Mike because him still being so down over that bike kid dying is a bit much. He should've been waay desensitized to all this tragedy by now.
You basically missed the entire episode then. Holy shit.
There's totally an amazing Walt/Hank scene after that, yeah.
What the hell? Did you take a shit afterwards?

Can somebody tell me what Hank was referencing about a phone call, Jesse, and Marie in a hospital when he was yelling at Heisenberg?
I can't remember what that's all about.

haha, yep.
Yeah. I was watching Gliding Over All before the episode tonight and I realized something: If that first guy Hank and Gomie talked to had just taken the deal on offer instead of trying to haggle, there's a chance he could've been saved from the neo-nazis.
Jesse isn't going to do something like that. It's clear he'll take any deal on offer or even none at all.

oh my goooooooooooooooodddd at that ending.
Wow, I'm so glad they didn't try and stretch it out or anything. They both know, right at the beginning. So fucking awesome.
Team Walt all the fucking way. Tread lightly. Can't wait to see what he does in response.

The quality of this episode alone makes me confident that Breaking Bad has regained its step, such a relief.
What happened to the

What happened to the
house in the intro? Will Walt be exposed to the world and chased out of his house by a lynch mob? The way that scene opened, with a row of abandoned houses, almost felt post- apocalyptic.

Jesse tried to be like his father figure and justify it through self-serving morality situations, suppression, etc. But he can't because he doesn't have Walt's sociopathic tendencies/spectacularly large ego to back it up.
3x06 - "Sunset"
When Jesse and Walt are in the RV and are trapped by Hank. Hank gets a fake phone call telling him Marie was in the hospital.

The shot of Hank spitting right at Walt when he says the word 'family' was an absolutely incredible moment.

Sunset, I think. When they destroy the RV ("this is my own private domicile, bitch," etc.), Walt gets Saul's secretary/receptionist lady to call Hank to divert him from getting a warrant on the RV.

Amazing episode. I think they're definitely building up to a Walt v. Jesse confrontation. Jesse is wrecked with guilt, and is searching for ways to atone for his past sins. He can't simply buy off the kids of those that were murdered, and giving the blood money away to strangers will provide no comfort.
The only thing left is to kill Walt, to avenge all those past wrongs. Or at least help turn him in by working with Hank. If Hank needs evidence there is no better witness than Jesse.

lol people said the same thing when the soprano, wire and the shield ended.

Sure, but the point is that having a grieving, morose, broken, etc. Jesse should not automatically mean having a boring Jesse. There's plenty of ways to convey what he's feeling without having him become a bundle of gloominess.

Guys, I'm literally shaking.
Came prepared with my new shirt, though!
Tony Harris art? Awesome. Vince wore it on Talking Bad, too.
When Hank was about to bust into the RV, Walt has Saul call him posing as a hospital saying Marie was hurt. Big mindfuck how he could have had the cellphone number, now it makes sense to him.
Oh, and how about the Skyler being badass threatening Lydia? I think she might just harden up/join Walt fully (as if she's not halfway there already) by the end. What if this was the season of the corruption of Walt's family?
Like I said they did a good job doing that with him throwing the money around. The only scene that bothered me was with him with Badger and Skinny Pete because he really didn't do much and it took him a while to actually do something. Every other scene he's actually doing something or conveying how he feels.

Do you understand that realistic characters and situations do not necessarily translate into entertaining ones?
The problem is that is character arc has the least direction of any character. It's realistic, but when the rest of the characters have these obvious, more linear arcs, it makes Jesse stand out and feel like he's not keeping step.
Little reference that SPECULATION

adds some more evidence to the Skylar dying theory because Walt copied her bacon birthday

Just stop trying to categorize people. it's just annoying. "Walt haters" are who, exactly? People who think he's evil, pathetic, and twisted? I think those things, but I also though he was out of the business. Am I a Walt Hater?

Not gonna lie I was like no fucking way they are gonna pull this. Think they pulled it off better in the show though.
A good show will come up again. Breaking Bad though is the first show that is considered one of the greats and that I follow. I watched The Wire two years ago, well after it has ended. The Sopranos I am watching right now. The Shield is next.
Its' definitely different watching those shows after it has aired than watching it during it was airing.
So a character should just be always artificially "doing" something in a scene? They shouldn't be challenged to reflect grief, loss, or the feeling of being completely broken down in a realistic way?

Fucking legit upset that we have to wait week after week.
Can't wait until netflix/internet takes over TV so that'll stop and we can watch it all at once.
