Because it was his job to protect Gale, I'm guessing.christ0phe said:
Also because he was seen by a few people at Gale's apartment. Mike prolly told Gus that.

That's what I heard. Pretty serious foreshadowing, imo. This season should be a blast.HIGH DEF JEFF said:

Victor was seen at Gale's apartment, but the mind games are just as important. What Jesse said at the end was a call back to it, the "if we're not going to kill you, we're going to make you wish you were dead" line. Walt and Jesse show Gus they're up for killing, Gus calmly cuts Victor's throat with a box cutter in front of them, everyone's on the same page.

I think the phone will be a problem. Chances are his phone rang more then once when he got shot. Connect the phone and the book some how shit will go down. These cops can't be this dumb in this show.
Overall, a good episode, and it makes me excited for the season. I am still a little confused on why Gus killed Victor, it almost seems like the most likely reason was simply to show Walt and Jesse that he could, and would. I have to say I'm going to miss Gale's character, even though I think him being killed off was the right way to advance the story. And that last scene, the mixture of humor/heartbreak is so awesomely typical Breaking Bad, it was great.

I can't believe you all saw that coming. I was convinced Gus was going to mutilate Jesse or Walter, slam a fucking finger off with that thing. And holy shit, Gilligan knew it. Walt waving his hands around, pointing his fingers, I mean WHAT THE FUCK MAN!!!!!
It was like the show was looking me right in the eyes going WHAT. ALBUQUERQUE, WHAT.

Victor failed in every capacity.
He couldn't keep Walt and Jesse apart, he couldn't protect Gale, and he likely ruined a number of chemicals by dumping them in so carelessly.
He wasn't at all useful to keep around, but at the same time he could serve as a demonstration for what Gus was willing to do to someone who crossed him.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
haha I couldn't stop laughing at that shit. Great performances, as usual.KarmaCow said:
Jesse's gonna have one hellish season. I'm dreading what's in store for that dude.

I expected him to hurt Walt and Jesse enough without preventing them from cooking.

I was thinking along the same lines. It seemed that his first reaction when Gus slit Victor's throat was to point his gun at Gus. He seemed pretty unsure of himself after that
*edit* This was supposed to be a quote, not a reply. I was talking about the old dude, can't remember his name now

i think its because he was tasked with getting rid of walt and he not only failed, but also let something happen to gale. or maybe he knew walt was right but didnt want to go out like a sucka. really it could be a number of things, but the bottom line is that walt outsmarted him. that says something about competence
edit: beaten...

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
That dude had way too much screentime in this ep to not get killed off later. Saw it coming by the time he got up to go cook. And with this much tension in the room, somebody had to die, and since it's the beginning of the season, it's not gonna be a major character. Shit was like, visual storytelling 101.
Still fucking LOVED it regardless, though.

Wow. I watched season 3 over a year ago, and within two minutes, I was back in.
Am I the only one that hopes this Hank and Marie shit doesn't continue like this for the whole season? I understand why Hank is the way he is, but dude get over it. You should probably be dead right now, but you miraculously survived multiple gunshots while killing two criminals.

Thoughts:
Skyler got chubbier? What the hell.
I thought Gus was terrifying enough in the third season but God damn. I knew his assistant had to go because he was seen in Gale's apartment...but damn!
Speaking of his assistant he got more lines in the first 20 minutes of this episode than in the entirety of season 3 lol.

Jesse seems to have hardened up a lot but it's hard to tell, especially with him, how much of it is just hot air. His silence when Walt kept pressing him about Gale was telling, though it could be he really has decided it was simply necessary from their point of view.
But since the show has made it a point to show that Jesse can be very emotionally vulnerable, I don't know if we've seen the last of the Gale thing coming up as a problem for him.

dude has to shit in a pan in his bed
kinda hard to get over
Victor was seen at the scene of the crime by multiple witnesses. They take very special care to point this out in the episode, by showing his interaction with the people there and then Mike very specially asks him not once, but twice, if he got seen at the crime. Gus arrives at the lab many hours after the shooting, so it's entirely possible he was able to wait and then see that Victor had been identified by the witnesses and was being sought as a person of interest. This is the main reason Gus kills Victor.

Good to see the thread moving so quickly. Hope it wasn't just us watching and we get some good numbers for the premiere.
Oh, and Paranoid Saul was pretty funny this episode.

Here's an inside look at the episode, if anyone is interested.

I doubt it. It was just to show that nobody was allowed in the store. He was probably a client of his, since he had sling on his arm.

Obviously I wasn't serious. There's no way anyone could possibly eat that many hamburgers in an afternoon.
But seriously, everyone thought someone was going to die? No one thought some fuckin' fingers were getting chopped? I don't buy it!!
