As always, please spoiler tag discussion of preview material. Thank you.

Wow. You can just feel the

foreshadowing for the rest of the series.

Holy shit holy shit holy shit

 

[soul creator]

for me, I associate Gale with Season 5 of the Wire, and Gus as one of Spike Lee's frequent collaborators

S5 of The Wire:

Damages:

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Yeah, he'll always be The Wire S5 to me.

 

[LordPhoque]

Wait, what ? Gale was the douchebag journalist in The Wire ? Mind blown.

 

[markot]

Damages:

:O

Yep. The fact that I can look at Gus and not see Buggin Out is a testament to how good of an actor he is.

SERIOUSLY.

"I was born in Albuquerque!"
"AWWHHHHH!!!!"

Yep. David Costabile has done some great work on a variety of shows. I always enjoy seeing him show up in something.

He's way more versatile than you'd first think. Compare Gale to the duder from The Wire.

His character on Damages was the biggest deviation from the mean, for me. He's done a lot of great character work on tv the last few years. I can't think of too many other actors that have covered such a wide range. Garret Dillahunt, maybe?

 

[dark_inferno]

Wow Season 4 gets more and more thrilling. Hopefully Walking Dead gets the same treatment.

Sorry, I had to >_>

EDIT: Watching that video has made me miss Jesse's hair, bizarrely. I don't know why.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Obviously, Jesse wants to fit in with the rest of the baldies on the show.

Fantastic!

 

[Beaulieu]

ffs people, they were not testing Jesses skills, just boosting his ego to manipulate him easier and maybe turn him against Hank.

each week I read this thread and Im baffled by most of the theories here.

 

[ThanksVision]

I just finished season 3 and I want to catch up on S4. Any good places I could watch it at?

Boosting his ego?

Pretty sure putting him in a situation to see how he would react. Mike calling to get picked up shows that they though he had bitched out and left him abandoned. It was a "swing your balls over your shoulder" test.

 

[Beaulieu]

and whats the fuckin obsession with gifs

"everything happened exactly how you predicted, the kid is a "hero" now...."

pretty clear man.

pretty clear man.

bingo. he says it right in the show.

 

[Uno Venova]

and whats the fuckin obsession with gifs

1. Quick way to see great/funny scenes from the show.

2. Can sometimes be used as reaction gifs.

 

[kehs]

"everything happened exactly how you predicted, the kid is a "hero" now...."

He did what gus expected, that doesn't mean it was guaranteed. Saying it was just to boost his ego would imply that there was no other outcome.

 

[Seraphinianus]

S5 of The Wire:

I KNEW I knew him from somewhere!

 

[Ramen]

So what's the point of boosting Jessie's ego or making him feel like a hero? Gus hates Jessie, thinks he's an incompetent druggie and wants to get him out of the operation as soon as possible. Gus could probalby just let Jessie kill himself with drugs.

Well, there's a few possibilities I'm split between at the moment:

1) Gus actually does want to use Jesse to act as a Victor-type person. Now, it's true that he didn't like Jesse much in the beginning, but since they've been employed by Gus, Walt is the one who's been nothing but trouble. Sure, Jesse was miffed about Gus' guys using children as dealers, but perhaps he could respect Jesse's objection to that, versus Walt's constant attempts to understand or undermine Gus. For the most part, Jesse came to work, did his part, and went home, without incident.

2) He's knows that he can't kill Jesse without pissing off Walt, so he's trying to drive a wedge between them so that he can eventually kill Jesse without Walt freaking out about it.

Of course, it could be something entirely different. The show's done a pretty good job of being unpredictable so far.

 

[VariantX04]

Boy, it's not looking too great for the other nominees for lead and supporting actors come next year's Emmys.

wtf

 

[dave is ok]

This is my guess. Something like this

Lol, BB monopolizes that shit

- Aaron Paul in a Funny or Die video: "Quirky Girl"

A man (Aaron Paul) meets an incredibly beautiful new girl (Teresa Palmer) in his building and she's so quirky that it's hard to see any problems with her at all. This is the indie film of the year for quirky girls.

This is... fantastic.

Nice cameo from Christina Hendrick's husband.

lol, he was ACTUALLY IN the film they're spoofing

- Aaron Paul in a Funny or Die video: "Quirky Girl"

I hope Aaron gets cast in an actual romantic comedy sometime soon, he obviously has a gift for it.

 

[Cornballer]

- Very brief video interview with Giancarlo Esposito (Gus) discussing Walt's fate in the series *no spoilers, just speculation*
- TVLine interview with Dean Norris about this season and what's to come for Hank and Walt *spoilers towards the end*

 

[TheOddOne]

For the love of god no.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Yikes, I don't know if that would be a good idea. I don't think he plays romantic parts very well. He was pretty awful in Big Love.

New episode tonight.

Cornered

Spoiler

Skyler makes an unsettling discovery; Walter Jr. pushes his dad into a questionable purchase; Jesse offers Mike some help.

I always forget that Breaking Bad is on sundays. I just see the timer on my dvr and go "OH SHIT!!!" Great way to start the week.

for me-
Thursdays - Louie
Sundays - Breaking Bad + Curb

and all 3 shows are having amazing seasons!

 

[Granger Danger]

But that wouldn't be unsettling, since she knows it inside and out.

 

[Spire]

She's preggers with Ted's baby. The scandal.

 

[blahblah...blah]

She's preggers with Ted's baby. The scandal.

It upsets me that this is actually a genuine possibility. It better not happen!

 

[AlternativeUlster]

I always associated Gale with The Wire and still do even though this season added more depth to his character and during his video karaoke was the first time I didn't tell myself it was the guy from the final season of The Wire.

These are basically the only shows I watch too.
