I just have to say how much I love Mike as a character. He's grumpy, pretty world-weary, but is also the best at what he does. He carries himself with a sense of his own history, and every little mannerism shows you so much about his past. Such a fully-realized performance, and an amazingly written character. I miss ya, Mike.

He was the douche bag who Axel Foley flipped over the table at the club in Beverly Hills Cop...lol

Yeah man, he was such a memorable hood in that movie. When I first saw him on BB I was instantly thinking of that.
 
I was really hoping "Buried" was going to be about someone, not just Walt's money.

Lydia/Todd was the highlight of this episode IMO. Mike was dead on about everything. She's the real threat.
 
The line "Oh I'll send you to Belize..." is probably foretelling Saul's fate. What do you think ?
While being Walt's best ally, he definitely knows too much.
 
He definitely will. The whole point of this episode was to show that Walt even had Skyler on his side, when before she probably would of quickly ratted out on Walt. It's a vice-versa with Jesse. Jesse would of never rat out on Walt but I don't think that is the case now.

Yep that's a good theory/analysis.
 
Hank, Walt, Skylar, even Marie are so desperate right now. Lydia and Todd are the only calm ones left. they are trying to get on with business. I bet that wont last (except Todd, that guy is a robot)
 
Hmm, Promo..

The way Saul sounded, my thought is, Jesse finds out about the Ricin/Lili/Huell/Brock deal.
 
Oh btw, fuck Saul for suggesting Walt kill Hank. I was on the fence about his moral compass before but he's no doubt and asshole. Also Skylar has shown her true colors finally. She's broken bad fully as we'll just like Walt. Jesse is a hollow shell right now. He won't rat bu Walt will probably believe he will and kill him. His days are definitely numbered now.
 
Everything is just falling into place for Hank so perfectly. First Gale's book just happens to be on the shitter. Now Jesse just happens to be throwing around cash and is now in custody.

Given the flashforward, and recent present events, things clearly take a terrible turn at some point soon.


  • Lydia and gang are willing to kill swaths of people to get what they want (which inevitably seems Walt back as cook), and obviously don't want anyone talking; what will happen if they hear that Jesse was in custody?
  • Jesse was taken in custody, deep suspicion has fallen on him due to his ghetto fabulous charity, and Hank is about to grill him about Walt
  • Walt and Skyler don't want to divulge anything and Walt no longer wants to be involved in the meth business, but he's still willing to take incredibly dangerous and unpredictable risks to keep people away and stay in control
  • Hank and Marie are steadfast in getting Walt but have no idea of a) Skyler's money laundering on top of her refusal to talk (and as such possibly get immunity), and b) the murderous threat posed by Lydia, Todd and his crew, and Madrigal as a whole
It's all bad news. Just a mix of shitty things that are about to coalesce into something really unfortunate for all parties involved.
 
it was a okay episode

Told you guy the 68% was from the distribution guy :P anyway it was depressing watching Jesse like that in the beginning and love hank and Skyler conversation
Hated the whole Marie and Skyler part though. Just wanted to push Marie in fucking face
I laugh at Kuby response to Huell comment on going to Mexico.
Anyway can't wait to see if Jesse flipped in the next episode.
 
My god

AV Club Review said:
Everyone has chosen sides and identified goals. Now to address the question that will set in motion the end of this story. What will Jesse want?

If you had told me a show this good ever could have existed, without compromising or disappointing in even a single aspect, I'd have laughed in your fucking face.

He suggested to Walt and Jesse that they should hire someone to kill Badger so Badger wouldn't rat out Walt and Jesse back in season 2. This is when Walt and Jesse kidnapped him, and Saul was Badger's lawyer.
