dude, internet...
Been trying to find it man. I only found a 2 minute bit on YouTube, not the whole scene.

Also, I'm re-watching the episode again. Why did Hank use the master bedroom bathroom rather than the one Jr would use. Is there only one bathroom in the three bedroom house?
 
Let's all refresh on Evil Juice Box Man.

A fan thinks the moment Walt turned into a full-fledged villain is when he poisoned Brock, and wants to know how Walt physically administered the poison. “That’s an excellent question,” Gilligan says. “The writers would always tell the story of the Evil Juice Box Man. The way we worked it out on our timeline is he had just enough time to do it, but it would’ve been very tricky indeed.” They figured he crushed the poison up, stuck it in a juice box, and got into Brock’s school. “That’s our inner story, the writers and I, for how it happened. It would’ve been very tricky timing, but he was a motivated individual at that point.”
 
One thing that bugged me about this episode is Walt's ultra-grim, super serious persona.

Specifically, he abandoned it. I didn't think it was something he could just switch off.
 
To me, it seems like it would be way easier just to say that Saul put it in a juice box and then gave it to Brock as a gift on his regular visits to drop money off to Andrea.

Either way, it doesn't matter how it was done, just that it was done.
Like how mike handled the remaining twin
 
Awesome episode. I totally called it that they'd have Walt find out that Hank was on to him in this episode. They really had no other choice.

"I think Hank returns, makes an excuse to leave suddenly. Walt thinks it's strange... might find his book missing or something and gets suspicious."

Yeeeeep.

So ultimately this episode wasn't really full of surprises but it damn well delivered on performances.

+ to the hilarious "Star Trek script"
+ to trying to make Skyler likable

You are a nice boy :)
 
Dat final scene. Jesus fucking Christ, I have no idea how this show continues to pull this off. I haven't seen TV this good since The Wire.
 
Badger and Skinny Pete's nerd talk....i dont watch Star Trek :( didnt know much of what they were talking about.

The video game zombie was cool though
 
Holleeeeee shit just seen it.

Superb. Most shows would have not dealt with the Hank fallout that directly. Was not expecting a Hank vs Walt showdown already.

Epic.
 
Breaking Bad has ruined other tv shows for me. Nothing compares anymore.
 
Final episode: Walt beams his entire meth empire into space.

Hank looks through a telescope and sees Lydia floating by with bags of 68% pure meth tied to her arms and legs.

Skinny Pete plays the theme to Star Trek on the piano.
 
That Jesse and Walt scene immediately made me think of The Last of Us.

Gawdayum.

Why did Hank use the master bedroom bathroom rather than the one Jr would use. Is there only one bathroom in the three bedroom house?

I was thinking about this too then I realized I sort of do the same thing. I figure its common courtesy to not stink up the general bathroom especially if its at a family gathering.
 
how do you think the next episode is going to open

1 year later. Walter Jr. and Louis are smoking meth. They are the new playground guys, riding around in Walter Jrs charger. Holly is on a tricycle; she is the new Tomas.

Circle of life.

Alternate: Jesse teaches Chemistry in high school.
 
If they stick the landing, even minutely? Like, say there's a wobble. Or even a step forward before rebalancing. But say they land it?

This is easily the in the top 5 television programs that have ever aired.

EASILY.
 
how do you think the next episode is going to open

Walter manually lifts up the garage door and kind of tumbles out in a mildly hilarious way after a small amount of struggle, while Hank watches with the same disgusted look on his face.
 
I'll say this one negative about the episode.

Jessies character is complete bullshit.

Him acting all weepy, emo & bitchey.
He was a freaking stoner who banged milfs. Now he 180'd into this suicidal teen who doesn't care about material possessions.

Do you not understand character progression or three dimensional character.
 
He's a guy who thought putting Chili Powder in meth was a fucking super-cool move to make.

He's a guy who voluntarily hangs out with a couple of tweeker dorks who will, if allowed, spend hours on end talking about the vagaries of resident evil, call of duty, and star trek.

He just wants to find some semblance of belonging in the world, a belonging that doesn't involve his having to shoot, kill, or witness the killing & shooting of relative innocents.

Of all the things about Jesse that have shifted/changed - that fundamental underpinning has NEVER shifted. He's a dorky white kid in over his head who is consistently seeking external validation of his person, a validation his own family never gave him.

Keeping that in mind - how the hell is his reaction to the events of season 5.1 even remotely out of bounds, much less "emo" - which is a phrase that worked back in 2003 if you were talking about Dashboard Confessional albums, but is otherwise completely fucking meaningless in 2013.
 
naa the problem is more ''what kind of business did you think you were in all this time?''

Jessie's over protectiveness of kids has been a pretty consistent theme of his character throughout the series, though. The mute kid in Peek-a-Boo, Tomas, Brock, Jesse has always reacted pretty passionately to anything that mixes kids up in the drug trade. Given that the five million is the result of a plan Jesse came up with that directly resulted in the murder of a child, and Walt rubbing the blood money in his face, him wanting absolutely nothing to do with that money makes sense for reasons that don't have anything to do with the normal meth making/selling business.

Plus isn't he still relatively well-off from the previous ventures? His expenses can't be anything compared to Walt's, so it's not like he needs the money.
 
What an ending. Damn good.

There's more happening in this episode of Breaking Bad than the whole last season of Dexter so far.
