I love how they explained why Walt is still alive through the flashback.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Oh and, from AVClub...

Avclub Review.

 

[Wanda/Wander]

Great foreshadowing with the naming of the scholarship

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

Watching the repeat...
he said the scholarship was named after Max "something" (couldn't make out the name.)
What was Gus's brother's name??

 

[big ander]

Just read the AVClub review and this entire TV season I haven't been understanding their reviews. I feel like they'll consistently give As to episodes I think are good and then something like a B+ to an episode that I loved while having pretty much the same content in each review.

EDIT: Yeah, awesome stuff with the scholarship name.

 

[dave is ok]

You fucked me Manny

 

[Amir0x]

Sepinwall Review.

Yeah, I immediately noticed the parallel to Walt and Jesse as partner and Gus and his "brother" as a partner. It's actually quite fascinating and I wonder what precisely that will play into when considering the ultimate conclusion of Gus.

 

[dave is ok]

Gus could actually have a soft spot for Jesse based on that flashback, but probably not.

My guess is that Gus is Kaiser Soze

 

[Lonestar]

Excellent how they gave Gus motivation and built his past. Gives context to why he's such a cold moutherfucker.

Cartel could have taken the proposition

I know, right.

Gus and Chef gave them what I'd feel, a great opportunity. Something they'd have control of, something that would bring in as much cash as Cocaine, for pretty much all the profit.

Nope, We've got to kill one of you out of principle!

who the fuck is gus?

Wow, thinking back to the DEA interview. The "Brother" being the one the scholly is named after. Neat.

 

[ezekial45]

who the fuck is gus?

Gustavo Fring? The manager of the fast food chain and Walt's boss? The character that this episode was mostly about?

Since buddy boy is on vacation

Episode 9 Sneak Peak


:lol hilarious soundtrack.

For all of those who like Gus, you should check out Giancarlo Esposito's best acting performance: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109842/

What.

Good lord. The Emmys are going to have a mighty tough decision to make for Supporting Actor next year.

From the reviewer's Twitter account:

#BreakingBad scorecard: Flashback structure didn't do it for me, but man, Gus's interrogation + placing the GPS tracker = incredible TV.

From the reviewer's Twitter account:

Bleh, but the flashback structure was perfect. Whatever.

 

[Drewsky]

This show is so fucking good.

 

[mysticwhip]

What.

exactly.

 

[big ander]

Interesting inference that didn't come to me but did come to people like Todd of AV Club: Gus and Max were lovers. Maybe some of you found that obvious but I completely didn't realize it until now.

I was thinking that the entire time. Especially when he thought that they were going to kill him.

 

[BlueTsunami]

I didn't catch that either but that would make the scene a couple of magnitudes more powerful. I'll have to watch it again now.

They thought came into my mind during that scene.

 

[dave is ok]

I don't buy it. If Gus was gay, he'd have fucked Ted by now

 

[LM4sure]

So Gus is gay now?

And why is Gus going to visit Hector at the hospice (or wherever he is)?

 

[big ander]

:lol :lol

To taunt him about cartel deaths and hope that Hector dies in pain.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I went into this episode expecting Gus had to fall, but now I need him to stick around for a LONG time. Like, longerthan Walt. Walt is kind of the worst at this point.

Nah man, he's a fucking great dude. Walt is so nice and caring and sweet and a good man and kind.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Listen man, I'm been privy to the next episode's contents and lemme just tell ya'll, I'm just gonna spoil it out right, Walt fucks Ted, okay, I said it, fuck you, Walt, we're done here, Breaking Mike starts now.

if walt fucked Ted, he would have a good reason like protecting his family from ted's asshole or something. Either that or Ted has a small dick so walt just had to fuck him for the ego boost.

Dude, it's clearly this:

 

[brianjones]

loved the shot of the moneybags under the house

like corpses in a morgue

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

what was the deal with the ending scene? why was gus saying "is today the day?" to hector? just went over my head.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I thought the same thing

 

[big ander]

He's hoping each new day will be the day that the bell stops ringing

 

[BlueTsunami]

Waiting for Hector to die. It seems like Gus goes there every now and again to give him news in hopes he'll croak, is what I got from it.

 

[mysticwhip]

At thought at first I thought that the uncle still had some power within the kartel and could make Gus' problems disappear but after hearing some of the other theories(turturing him by killing his family members and close friends or making him tense about when he's going to die) I don't know what to think.

 

[99hertz]

You guys are blessed that don't pick up on their horrible accents, it's like the Cartel was negotiating with a retard.


Besides that, I really liked the episode. I'm just waiting to see what Walter is going to do. I don't get the Skyler hate. In a way, she's even more cold than Walt. Hmm...I guess I can understand it, I can't stand Rita on Dexter.

 

[cacophony]

The wait between episodes is going to start feeling longer and longer

 

[sixteen-bit]

So, in One Minute, Gus warned Hank confirmed?

 

[Black Mamba]

So, any theories on Gus's Chilean past? he was obviously someone important or related to someone important. Perhaps the son of a politician or drug kingpin out there?

hmm..


Man, what a damn good episode that was.

 

[Game-Biz]

Sorry, my spanish is shit. But what did gus say in the beginging when talking to Hector? He said, "This is what comes of blood for blood, Hector." Then says something like, "Songray por songray." No doubt I spelled it wrong, someone tell me what it means?

Sangre. Blood.

He just said blood for blood in Spanish.
