I just started this, LTTP and all, and I'm really loving it. Fifth season is the last huh? Damn, such a shame, but it makes sense for this show I suppose.

I'm thinking the first 4 episodes of S5 pt 2 will be Hank piecing everything together, how Walt pulled it off. Then in the last 4 episodes, the shit hits the fan lol.

Just a quick reminder on the spoiler rules for the thread:
On Spoilers:

Regular TV thread rules apply:
  • Once an episode airs in the US on the East Coast, it's fair game. Feel free to discuss anything that has aired without using spoiler tags.
  • Anything that hasn't aired yet should be spoiler tagged including information from previews, loglines, trailers, interviews, and a few other places.
There is a spoiler thread if you'd like to discuss leaks, photos, and other content without spoiler tags:

If anything leaks, please use the other thread for discussion.​

Episode titles aren't typically considered spoilers, but please don't post anything else that leaks if/when that happens. Thanks for your help.

I think it's going to go way faster than that. I think Hank pretty much can piece it togther while he's sitting there in the bathroom.

He'll convince himself, but he needs to put together a thorough case before anyone believes him. Which could be tricky since Walt is out of the business.

I wonder Hank will try to confide in Skylar, lol

I don't think he's going to go the legal route.

I think he's going to (disasterously) try to deal with it himself.

Aiii

So not worth it
He won't go the legal route simply because it would end his career if everyone found out his brother-in-law was the biggest meth cook ever.

None of his superiors would accept that he didn't know or forgive him for not realizing for years. Esp. because he involved Walt in the investigation so often.

In the middle of my re-watch right now (Just finished Negro y Azul, next is Better Call Saul - sidenote these are probably my two favourite cold opens in the show's run). One thing that really strikes me is how massively fucked up the US Health Care system is. Walt has mandatory medical care for his fugue state and then is charged 20 grand for that privilege, messed up. That's not even to mention the six figures spent on cancer treatment. Ridiculous.

Another thing I've noticed is that this is about the time I started to find Skylar insufferable the first time I watched the show, but she's totally in the right for acting the way she does towards Walt. I guess the first time I was just invested enough in his lies to feel she shouldn't have seen through him.

edit, no amc logo so i assume not

That is official , it's a little flyer that came with the season 5 part 1 bluray. Just picked it up today

Edit:


Incase anyone wants to know the extra chicks with guns scene

Jesse is having a stripper over and is blowing his cash on her with his buddy (forgot his name) then Saul comes to the door, Jesse let's him in, they go to the back of Jesse house and Saul hands him a bag that contains a gun. Jesse freaks out wanting to know what it's for. Saul explains to him that in Canada if a bear kills a hiker, people will go looking for the bear so they can kill it. Jesse doesn't completely understand but then figures out Saul is talking about Walter. Saul leaves , Jesse sits down on the couch and looks shocked, and unsure on what to do.

That's the best I can do on explaining it. I'd upload the scene, but i have no way of ripping it. Could record it with my phone if anyone wants to see it. But I'm sure it'll be on YouTube soon enough.

Would be cool if we got a scene of a dealer approaching Walt asking him if he wants to buy some blue meth, mistaking him for some junkie off the street.
He does look pretty beat up in the flash forward scene, so it would be ironic if someone confused him for a junkie.

I can't think of many other, if any, actors that could pull it off. Michael Shannon maybe? It'd be amusing to see a compilation of different actors trying the scene...or maybe that'd just make me cringe.

I don't think anyone else can but to be fair it helps Cranston that he has been the character for years and evolved with it. He is walter white! Others would just be imitating.

AMC just 'officially' released the teaser poster, so here's a big copy for anyone that wants one:

I've been rewatching the series and I've been skipping a lot of scenes. There are just so many parts of the show that are boring on my second watch, such as the scenes with the cartel.

I reaaaaaaaaly hope they don't go for some bullshit Walt redeems himself by saving Jesse ending or something along those lines.

I can handle Walt winning and getting away with everything, but trying to frame Walt in a positive light at the end of the show would be too much in my humble opinion.

I don't think it's going to end like that. Episode 1 of season 5 shows a machine gun, I hope he goes out guns blazing. But that probably won't happen though. I think Walt will die but how I'm not sure, maybe by Jesse or something. Or Walt Jr. poisons his breakfast.

There will be no Walter White redemption. Scarface never redeemed himself.

Let's see how far they take the Scarface thing. I will be disappointed if Walt does go out "guns blazing," as Tony Montana did. I'd honestly prefer to see some good people die instead and have Walt keep doing the crime thing indefinitely. I realize there has to be closure though, meaning Walt dead or in prison.

So why is he in New Hampshire buying automatic weapons? He told Lawson the gun wouldn't be leaving town, so he's probably hunting someone he needs to kill. He's obviously on the run from someone because he's out of town on his birthday, unhappy, and basically in disguise.

There are a few ways this could go. Hank obviously can't go public with his knowledge of Walt, at least until he has proof and even then it will be a huge embarrassment to Hank and his family for not catching Walt sooner. That being said, here are my best guesses as to the conclusion:

1) Walt is forced to kill Hank (maybe Hank is going after Jesse?)
2) Hank is forced to kill Walt (maybe Walt kidnaps or harms Marie?)
3) Walt gets careless and has to kill Jesse, and gets himself caught
4) Walt loses his mind and harms or kills Skyler/Flynn/Holly, getting himself caught or killed in the process

And Jesse doesn't have much collateral in his life, so I can't really see a scenario where Jesse is forced to kill or turn in Walt.

Aiii

So not worth it
Started a rewatch yesterday. Wanted to do one ep a day.

Ended up watching the first three episodes. Damn this show! :lol

I thought Walt was in California, not New Hampshire. Gotta go rewatch that.

oh damn, his ID is New Hampshire but apparently he's still in Albuquerque, according to the Wiki. I would guess he went ahead and called the instant-disappear guy.

Another possible conclusion is Walter quietly dying of lung cancer. Just sayin.

He did it for charity. Think he raised more than a 100,000 dollars.
It's not like he practiced or rehearsed it for a long time or anything.

Give the guy a break jeez.
