will Walt ever return with hair?
Maybe, at the very end... Maybe.
I wonder if they'll have any 'prequel' episodes involving Gus, or if the actor (forget the name) is done.
They do a great job with prequel pre-credits, two characters who died got there final moments of the show in pre-credit flashback segments, Gus should get one.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
Please don't know something I don't. Wouldn't the premiere be in July or so?

Has there been any official word on when they'd likely start the first half of S5? I honestly can't remember. July sounds about right, but I don't have a source on that.

I'm just guessing, since they seem to be following last years schedule of writer's room in November, start filming in January or February. But since it's only an 8 episode season they could push it back by a month. I'd say July or August
There's also that whole issue of the Emmy nomination window that they might consider. Given when S4 aired, airing S5 earlier might make it so that both seasons are eligible for the 2012 Emmys. If they want to spread it out more, they might make S5 air later in order to be eligible for the 2013 Emmys.
Of course, I have no idea what the nomination window is (and a quick Google search didn't turn up any relevant information in the few minutes I checked), so maybe they can get away with airing in the summer.
Has the 8 episode season been confirmed?

It's going to be 16 episodes for S5 split into two 8 episode chunks.

Came in the thread to post this. Amazing.
Do we know if they are going to consider all 16 episodes 1 season and split it into two segments with one airing in the Summer/Fall and then the other in the Spring similar to how Walking Dead is doing Season 2?
Or will be it 8 Episodes Summer 2012 for S5 and then 8 Episodes Summer 2013 for S6?
I don't think that anybody knows yet.

Just caught up on Breaking Bad. Can't wait until next summer for it to start again.
Also, screw whoever had the avatar of two-face Gus. Seriously.

What's the story with spoilers here? I just finished season 4. It's probably my favourite episode ending since 2-10.
Anyway the way I'd like to see the show go is

Hi, I'm Season One.
Two things:
1. Meth kid to his little bro after crushing his jib: "It was skunk weed anyway." - Where I come from, skunk weed is good. Made me say "who the fuck is writing this?" out loud.
2. "I've got the talking-pillow now!"

They probably don't mind getting spoiled.
I know someone who reads plot summaries of TV shows and films before she decides whether or not to watch them :/
What a horrible show to allow getting spoiled about. This show has the biggest WTF moments in it that slap you in the face when they happen. I can't understand knowing about them beforehand.
Not officially, but I bet "season 6" (the final half) airs in summer 2013.

Skunk weed does mean bad weed.
I think some pothead probably named their particular strain/product "Skunk Weed".

AMAZING.
Just watched all 4 seasons in about 6 weeks. So good.
When I started I really was worried that they were going to make Hank be a bad caricature of Vic Mackey but he ended up being one of my favorite parts of the show.
No idea how next season plays out. My favorite scene in the show still might be Walt's rant to skyler about "I'm the one who knocks" or the scene when he deals with Tuco the first time.

Holy shit I love this show. WHY U SO GOOD!?
Sadly I've finished it. Is there a good alternative? I've heard the Wire is amazing, but is it as exciting?
And this show deserves the bump.

The Wire is indeed amazing. It's much more grounded, realistic, and it focuses more on a variety of different characters as opposed to a single main character like BB does.
It's definitely the best show of the last decade, I'll say that much. Give it a watch.

You should watch Mad Men, Justified and Luther. I haven't seen The Wire but it has Idris Elba so it must be amazing.

Just watched the first episode of The Wire today. Bored me to death, but I'll keep watching a few more to see if the hype's worth it. It's not the "where are teh explosions" type of knee-jerk simpleton reaction, but I didn't feel immediately gripped like I was with Mad Men and Breaking Bad, plus everything was just really disconnected and lacked flow. Oh, and way too many characters to remember at once without proper introductions.
I understand that it's meant to be realistic, but it's freaking TV - there HAS to be some form of heightened realism at least. Please don't let me down, GAF hype...you haven't so far.

I'll definitely give the wire a shot (it not being on Netflix is upsetting however). But honestly it was hard for me to get into Madmen, even though I appreciate the quality. I'll give it a watch soon! Thanks for the responses.
Don't expect cliff hangers and intense drama from the wire, it's a slow burn but definitely worth it. My personal favorite show of all time.
I felt the same way when I first started watching it. It wasn't until episode 10 that the show really started to feel like something special. Now it's definitely one of my favorites. The character buildup really pays off.

The sopranos is more similar but the wire is also a good show. The wire is mainly about the business and political system behind crime and law enforcement. The sopranos is about the chemistry between the criminals and how they justify their jobs to their community and their families. The sopranos also goes pretty deeply into the psychological state that criminals have.
I'd also second agent's recommendation of watching Justified.

I really thought the back-half of season 3 kinda sucked. I keep waiting for Walt and Jesse to develop into "harder" characters in conjunction with everything they've been through. Skyler is an example. She went from goodie-two-shoes to kinda hardcore. Meanwhile, Jesse still doesn't have the balls to shoot someone? (I know assume he did, but the crying? God I hate him.) And why the FUCK hasn't Walt bailed on him? Dude, Walt, it's the underworld why are you protecting some fucked up kid who never did anything for you? (Oh, wait, I know: because he's a "flawed character." Yeah, I'll say. Flawed writing.)
And all that time devoted to Jesse's "love"! lollolololipops
And that "Fly" episode? wtf?
I think that's my whole beef though. Everything else was pretty fuckin' dope. Quality show. Agree with the Mad Men comparison.
