Breaking Bad - Season 5 interim thread - the series concludes Summer 2013 on AMC

It's in the OP. :)
Can I suggest some podcasts? David Chen from /film has a recap podcast called "The Ones Who Knock" that has guests from the show and a nice piece he did involving the music of season 5. Also the Breaking Good has some great episode recaps as well.
Put up some links to the content, and I'll add them to the OP. I've listened to David Chen's Justified podcasts, and he usually does a nice job with them.

There will be many epic scenes in the last 8 episodes, questions will be answered, the most epic being Walt JRs final breakfast. What will he have? Toast? :D

You BITCHES think additional seasons could work ? If they can keep the quality up I'd watch this show forever. Too bad Gustavo is dead, I think the show was at its peak when he was around all the time.
 
Is anyone planning a rewatch of the whole series before S5.2 starts? I'm considering it. Would have to pace it out though.

Thanks for compiling all that content Cornballer, you do an amazing job with these.
 
Will this show be able to surpass The Shield as my all time favorite?

Of course not, but it will take a mighty challenger indeed to dethrone Breaking Bad from my number two spot

I am so damn pumped, bitch

I still haven't watched the first eight episodes yet. I've got them recorded and I'll probably wait until late June to start them.

I wasn't even aware all of this info existed about the show. Gonna have to spend some time reading through the OP's.
 
I wonder how heated Hank/Walt will be. Hank seems like a really prideful guy, I expect him to be MEGA PISSED at Walt for using him and tricking him this whole time. Man...things are going to be so complicated it will be amazing.

I'm especially interested in how he handles it once he steps out of the bathroom. I can't imagine how I'd act.
 
Season 5 has been a breath of fresh air, S4 was great and all but I thought they really stretched out the Gus conflict after S3. Never understood the mentality that the show was about Walt vs. Gus or that it should've ended with the S4 finale, no way should it end with Walt on top.

I actually think the opposite; I think Hank will compromise his morals and his job in order to cover/protect Walt and, in the end, Walt will drag them both down. Either way, complicated is an understatement :lol

Well I think he'll obviously keep it close to the chest, why reveal the card when you don't have to. But I mean how can he not be steaming mad at Walt. But yeah if he brings it out in the open it puts him in a bad position considering it's his brother in law and he took money from him as well in his rehab..

Don't forget that Hank has a lot to lose and explain to his superiors how is that Heisenberg was his brother in law all this time.
 
Imagine the first ep being titled "poker face". Hank steps out of the toilet cool and calm and asks Walt for a game of cards since he's supposedly so good at it. As both of them are playing privately, Hank starts to drop indirect comments about the blue meth to see what Walt's facial expressions are.

But seriously guys do you think we will ever get
a flashback scene of walt teaching jesse in school

I'm half expecting the first episode to be a few days after that bathroom scene Hank. If it is right after, I can't see him showing any signs of him putting it all together.

no way they're going to pass up the potentially awesome scene of hank going back to that table straight poker facing. So glorious. Dropping the death stare on Walt.

Yea thats true, that first scene between them will be awkward as fuck tho. Also can't wait till Jesse puts 2 and 2 together. That will be an insane moment

dunno. I know a lot of people think it would be cool, and I think it could be cool, but there's also the potential for it to be impossibly cheesy, what with a 33 year old man pretending to be in high school

I want to do a re-watch, but my heart can't take the reminder every time I watch an episode that it's coming to an end.

If the show had a call out to one of the show's internet memes would that be bad or good?

Amazing job on the new thread. Fuck me I can't wait for the last 8. I've been with Breaking Bad since the beginning, and as much as I'm gonna miss it, I'm really happy that they are giving it a defined ending (unlike shows like Dexter). Day 1 on the blu-ray box set.

Wow. I just saw a pic from behind the scenes. It's very spoilery. Game changing.

If you want to see it, PM me.
