That was indeed Gus.

Edit: OR WAS IT?

Gus definitely ordered the call. A soldier probably made the call.


I am also leaning on the new guy calling Walt. It could be Mike though, after the interaction in the bar he says you better learn how to tail better or something of that nature.

I don't understand though. Why would Walt need to know how to tail? He had dinner at the man's house.

I don't think it would be Gus for the simple reason he is the boss, or at least that is how he is portrayed. Why would a boss make the call. It makes much more sense that a couple of soldiers are protecting Gus. The soldier sees Walt, calls Gus's new second in command and the second in command calls Walt.

Gus has more to worry about than just Walt. He also has the cartel to worry about. So it stands to reason that Gus would have some protection around his home. Right?

No, but it was mentioned in pre-season interviews that various characters haven't really broken bad yet as much as they can, and at least with the physical therapist there, right now it seems too good a set-up. I'm not saying she couldn't do something else, but let's not ignore what we have in front of us right now.

Whatever happens, she's going to do something this season that is out of her normal character.

Oh, I thought he requested a meeting with Mike. But yea your right. That makes much more sense.

Then the call cannot be Mike, or he would have mentioned it at the bar right?

Infidelity is breaking bad, not women fucking.

Like when Walt was trying to get with the principal.

I think it's going to be one of those things where, since her husband doesn't even talk to her anymore, she does something on impulse and will probably immediately regret it, kind of like the thing with Ted, except you know, she'll regret it right away.

Then together after their reconciliation becomes their story for a little while, they'll be strong together when something really bad happens later. If I had to guess anyways.

Marie is a character that hasn't really "Broken Bad" yet, minus the tiara anyways, and I think the physical therapist is the perfect character to start this with.

Difference with Ted is that she and Walt were separated, and it was in response to Walt forcing himself back into the house. In this case it would be Marie cheating on her crippled husband because he's reasonably upset at his current state. That would be worse than anything Skyler has done so far, although Skyler herself is starting to get deeper into Walt's shenanigans. And that's also how Skyler is breaking bad, it wasn't the Ted thing.

Hank and Marie function as a contrast to Walt and Skyler, as a family who is non-criminal but still has to deal with their own set of issues. And I think Hank's paralysis is enough of one without having to also add Marie cheating, which would make her character very difficult to care for again. But we'll find out soon.

Does this look like Cranston wearing a wig to anyone else?

That's what I thought too. I guess they could have given him a fake one, but it seems like such a silly thing to do for a 2 or 3 second shot when there's already 30 extras in the scene.

I was trying to figure out what this was all about. The way it was shot seemed way too intentional for that person to be a nobody.

I'm convinced that Hank smuggled that tiara out of evidence, and Marie was simply covering for him.

I think the Janitor from Season 1 that got busted for marijuana possession called Walt.
No wait, it was Mike. Because the AMC summary said so.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I'm surprised people thought it was anyone but Mike. Never would've thought about it if not for reading this thread. It sounded like him and made the most sense to be him.

A lot of times marketing / random interns write that kind of copy. A lot of 'official' summaries have had mistakes only to be corrected later on.

That said, it makes sense for it to be Mike, but it *really* doesn't sound like him.

Just watched last nights episode. Loved all the Jesse and Walt stuff, glad Badger and Skinny Pete are back. The Skylar stuff, not so much. Why does she feel like she has to be the driving force behind the car wash purchase? Oh and I hope we never see Andrea (Epyck) again, that stuff just sucks.

Because Walt outright displayed, in this episode particularly, how far in the back of his mind that is.

It's fun to watch Skyler sinking deeper into the shit. She's been compared to Carmela Soprano but they're not quite the same since Skyler continually and purposefully gets herself more and more involved in her husband's business. Carmela was complicit in that she knew what Tony was about, but Skyler is taking a much more active role.

Does anybody besides Mike regularly refer to Walt as "Walter"? I assumed it was him on the phone from that. Especially since Walt seemed to acknowledge it in the bar.

AMC usually only streams premiers, don't they?

I think that the entire season of The Killing was available for streaming at some point (not that anybody would have any use for it), but I'm not sure. They usually don't put their shows online.

I predict someone will end up uttering the phrase "get your rocks off" in proximity of Hank at some point during this season.

And I thought it was Gus who called Walt, not Mike. Sounded more like Gus to me anyway. And at this point it wouldn't really make sense for Mike to be hanging around Gus's house unless Gus saw Walt, called Mike and told Mike to call Walt.

Not that it's of any real importance to the episode at first glance.

Hank sucks now. It's really amazing how they've swung his character like a pendulum. He is back in the "audience is unsympathetic to his douchebaggery" arc that he started the show in.

Hank has a reason to be all douchy, he explicitly told marie he didn't want to be in his own house in that condition.

Hank hasn't really gotten unsympathetic to me yet. It's normal for him to take his anguish out on others, since that's his only outlet.

Well, I guess that gives him a free pass to be sullen and emotionally abusive then.

Begrudgingly.


The whole time I was thinking "don't do it they're separate parts of your nervous system!" Which she knew, being in the medical profession and all.

A reason doesn't have to mean a free pass. I did say he's being a douche.
