That seems a bit odd to me. You've never seen a condemned home before? I'm in pretty clean/expensive Vancouver and I've seen one here and there....

I don't understand why everyone assumes Walter would/will best Hank in a final showdown. Both can kill, but Walter mostly goes about it indirectly. Hank has personally killed Tuco and one of the Salamanca cousins (an impressive headshot no less). Give both men a gun and I think Hank comes out on top.

Amirox is having fun fucking with people who for some reason still think Walt is a good guy, when he clearly isn't. I'm on Team Walt and am rooting for him because it's fun to root for bad guys on a TV show, but I completely acknowledge that he is an absolute psychopath. If it were real I of course wouldn't root for him.
But for some reason there are people who genuinely want to defend Walt and pretend he's still the season 1 version. I think there's some overt masculinity at play, like people who do this are living out their fantasies through him. The idea of having absolute power and the ability to control every aspect of your life. That's why people still root for Walt because that's desirable for a lot of people. And that's okay as long as you recognize that Walt isn't the good guy. Logically/morally you have to accept he's the villain, you can defend rooting for him but you can't defend the character itself anymore as any kind of grey/good guy in a bad situation.

Yep. His ego has been the source of a lot of the trouble that has befallen him throughout the series.

I don't know man, it just seemed really out of place to me. Especially if it happens on his 52nd birthday which is just one year after they were all living there.

Regarding the home, it's pretty typical of what happens with drug busts. The property was seized and they tore it the fuck apart looking for evidence.
I wouldn't harp on the condition at all. I've seen medical marijuana home busts in Cali in nice areas that looked quite similar from the outside and I'd imagine the inside. It's been a very short time, relatively, since Walt's home became that way.

Give an abandoned house 6 months and it will look like that. I work in the business and see it all the time.
Assuming that Walt has paid the mortgage completely from his laundered money, there is no owner and no one who can legally sell it yet. The house will literally rot like that.

It depends on what happened there, of course. But if a building were condemned (crime scene? Un-sellable?), and teenagers were skating there on a given day, that's about what I'd expect the place to look like after a year.
We used to party in abandoned places like that when were were kids... and they were once happy homes, gone to shit. This stuff happens.

So sad to think that Jesse was literally holed up in his house for those 3 months unable to do anything productive. He didn't even have wallow in the shared miseries of junkie parties and stoners like after Gale, he just...sat in his big empty house and played video games.
Does anyone know much money he had before Walt dropped off his $5m?

Nice! Removing the logo would improve it a lot, though.

Idk why Jesse is also still upset over Gale. I mean dude died and was resurrected as a Detroit Detective. It can't be that bad.
I love that scene when he walks in, tosses some meth in the air, and says something along the lines of, "Eat it up, bitches!"

It seems to me that this show is becoming Breaking Good for Jessie.
He started as a kind of amoral thug kid... but going through these events has proven to him, against all odds, that he has a highly developed sense of morality.
I don't know if I would be as beaten up as he is over these events... Turns out that Jessie is a pretty sensitive guy, who's emotional wiring is going to force him to do the right thing.
Its just the reverse of Walt, who started as a "nice guy", and going through these events has revealed that he is capable of being a monster.

As long as you accept that Walt's got Hank tied up during the discussion.

Any body else watching the mythbusters episode in a bit?
He's in the closet. The only other time you see such a rabid defense/attack of a position is republicans who suck dudes off in airport bathrooms.
Nah, I can see it happening as simply as Hank knocking on Jesse's door, raising the white flag, and just saying up front he's not there to bust him for anything because he now realizes Jesse isn't who he was really after.

Remove the sore thumb BrBa logo and I'd print this on a t-shirt and buy it in an instant
You mean when will the flash forward content become "current time"? At the current pace I'm guessing episode 6ish. 5 or 6 will be working up to whenever Walt runs away, probably another month or so in the time of the show. And then he'll have been gone for 6-8 months and we'll get a snippet of whatever convinces him to come back and then the summary to what happens upon his return.
My guess, at least.

Might as well go straight to into hell /jk
I still think that Jesse will redeem itself by killing with his own hands the one man that dragged him into the hole he is in right now, or at least will be the key to his downfall, they wouldn't focus so much on him otherwise.

That will be a really cool scene happening. Just Hank and Jesse on his couch talking drinking Hanks beer out of all things. Would be cool if they do go this route.

Had this been anyone else in law enforcement, or if Hank had made the discovery before the cancer returned, Walt might have come to the garage with a Full Measure and gotten over with. Clearly, Heisenberg is a mode he can still seemingly flip on and off like a switch, but the cancer revelation brought Walt nearer, if not back down to earth.
I do wonder if Hank will cool down atleast somewhat, or if he sees this as a gross betrayal from which there is no coming back. The flashforward points to B, but I like Hank. Hopefully he veers away from the Sun before it's too late.

He's on the borderline.
He got mixed up in some bad shit with some bad people. Killed some bad people out of necessity. Decided he was done with it. Got out, and is trying to stay out.
Todd, on the other hand, is evil personified.
Even if that's what he thinks he's doing, his "fun" is making the thread unreadable for everyone else. There comes a time when people have to realize that they can't just get their kicks at everyone else's expense.

Thanks for the heads up. I had heard about this and now it's DVRing for my viewing enjoyment tomorrow.
Ehrm well how do you mean major figure? At the moment she's Walt's former business partner who is hurt by his quitting and desperately wants him back and seems determined to find a way to rope him back in. And we know from 5A that she's wont to panicking and doing things irrationally. I don't see how she's not already a major figure to watch out for.

I wrote about 4 responses and deleted each. You're right, anything rash she does is in character. I stand corrected.

Anyone who hates Walt is a misandrist.
I just finished listening to the Breaking Bad Insider Podcast installment for 509, "Blood Money," and the final segment of it answered a question I had during the credits.
"Blood Money" was dedicated to Kevin Cordasco, and for good reason; he was a young man that frequented the Reddit Breaking Bad subforum. Many spoke fondly of his unbridled enthusiasm and genteel demeanor. He was impassioned about the show and resilient even with his grim prognosis. Kevin suffered from a rare cancer called Neuroblastoma, a malignancy of the nerve tissue.
Bryan Cranston visited him in his hospital room.
Vince Gilligan had him visit the writer's room afterward and he asked him if there was anything he would like to see happen in the final eight episodes. Kevin offered an idea and it was implemented into the series. Vince chose not to reveal this, but promised to do so when it was appropriate.
Gilligan asked Kevin if he wanted him to reveal the ending, as it was planned late last year, so long as he kept it surreptitious. He refused. "I'll watch it when it airs." Kevin passed away on March 11th, during the filming of the final season.
I wish you could have watched it with the rest of us, Kevin. My condolences to his family and friends.

How so? Hank has only just confirmed his suspicions, and I believe the episode only passed a couple days. He's not an idiot - he's going to go through this very carefully.
Walt was right under his nose all this time and Hank couldn't sniff him out. Hank won't underestimate Walt and needs to be quite careful and diligent in every move.
Such a scene between Hank and Jesse will happen.
