I'm sure this question has been answered before, but do we know how close we are to Walt's 52nd birthday at the end of Season 5 Part 1? Like 6 months maybe?

I think it's around 8-9 months.

- EW.com: Interactive 'Breaking Bad' digital book out today

Hank discovered some pretty scintillating reading material in Walt’s bathroom in the last episode of Breaking Bad that aired, and now Breaking Bad wants to provide the same for you.

The show’s studio, Sony, has partnered with the producers of AMC’s beloved drug drama to create Breaking Bad: Alchemy, the official digital multi-touch companion book. The book features more than 100 pages of original content and 350-plus interactive elements, including interviews with series creator Vince Gilligan and other producers, a guide to the chemicals referenced on the series, an interactive timeline of which characters have met their demise over the last five seasons, and blueprints and 3-D models of sets. Check out a sample below:

As each of the final eight episodes air, the $7.99 book -- which can be purchased exclusively at the iBookstore starting today -- will update with materials related to those installments. (Guessing that death timeline might see some healthy action during this final run.)

Short video tour via the link.

Anyone buy the iBook for iPad?

I just bought it and will post impressions shortly.

Let us know how it is.

 

[Alpende]

I'm not gonna read any interview and try to contain myself from watching a possible trailer.

 

[daw840]

I will kill my infant daughter.

I AM THE ONE WHO ROCKS THE CRADLE

 

[Grinchy]

This probably confirms that this second half will probably take place right after what we saw in the beginning of season 5.

Edit:

What a horrible photo. Someone clearly doesn't like Skyler.

You accidentally wrote "someone" when you meant to say "everyone"

Best character is back.

I don't dislike the character, but she sure is the worst actor. Much worse than ol' Bugeyes pictured above.

 

[UrbanRats]

That would be such a good twist....

That would make zero sense.

 

[kehs]

That would make zero sense.

You've never seen the departed?

 

[UrbanRats]

You've never seen the departed?

Yeah, so? We've seen too much of Jesse that disqualify him as a undercover cop, to pull a 180 on him now.

Good characterization > Cheap twists.

 

[gnarlyxcharlie]

I'm not sure I've ever been so excited for any entertainment, ever.

Gonna be a hell of a ride

 

[AlimNassor]

Man, Hank in that teaser looks fucking pissed.

Probably got outbid for a sweet rock collection on Ebay at the last minute.

He could get a deal with the DEA to talk though after realizing Walt is evil

Jesse has stuck by Walt through some truly awful shit. I think the only way he flips on him is if he finds out Walt poisoned Brock.

Costello?

You gonna have to tell me more than that, because i'm not getting at what you're trying to say.

Well that's one thing.
I'm disputing the fact that Jesse was a cop all along.

 

[BobTheFork]

It would be pretty funny in that Jesse would have spent all this time CREATING a meth empire he could bust.

Saul could tell him that, I hope he finds out about Jane too.

 

[sappyday]

Saul could tell him that, I hope he finds out about Jane too.

There's no way Jesse will ever find out about that unless Walt tells him.

 

[BobTheFork]

Saul could tell him that, I hope he finds out about Jane too.

I don't want Jesse to find out about any of that honestly. It's old news in the show and we moved on. I want either Jesse's guilt or something new want does to set him off.

Walt has put some serious effort into manipulating Jesse, I want him to get in trouble, try it once more, get in over his head and get fucked.

Honestly though, I've been assuming thatafter the beginning of this season, Walt was going to save Jesse. I figure everyone else is gone and JEsse is all he has left and he's going to go full Scarface mode to save him.

 

[MiKeD]

Finished my rewatch the other day. Realized the show isn't as insanely amazing as I remembered it to be the first time I watched it. Still high quality stuff with some fantastic acting, though.

It did lower my hype for its return.

My guess is that Walt finds himself in a situation that he needs or wants Jesse to shoot/kill him, Jesse won't or can't do it, Walt tells him everything to get him to do it.

Understandable, actually. So much of the show is the ridiculous amount of suspense and tension.

 

[Servbot24]

Bit far fetched but that could be really cool.

 

[Bigfoot]

I think if Jesse finds about Jane, it will seem really forced no matter how they do it. Like someone else said, it's old news. I think BB is above trying to close all loose ends just for he sake of it. Just leave it in the past.

I was conflating decaprios role with costellos. oops

no mention of a trailer debut on the comic con schedule. maybe they want it to be a surprise.

 

[Ermac]

Have their been any commercials or trailers shown? I haven't been watching much TV but I havent seen anything. Seems odd.

Just those 10 second snippets

 

[Sean]

Three short teasers you can watch here. The full trailer will probably be at Comic-Con later this week (and it'll probably just be a series recap with like one or two new scenes).

 

[RaySpencer]

haha, nice side plank. Cranston really seems like a fun guy.

whats the prank? what am I missing? The fact that he invited Malcolm in the Middle people?

 

[smokeymicpot]

Odd little thing I noticed while doing a rewatch. During Better Call Saul the block they park on to watch the fake bust going down. They go down a one way street found it pretty funny. Now on 4 Days Out the Fly before the Fly.

I have a hard time believe someone who got a screener would spoil anything. Maybe the spoilers are fake

 

[Bit-Bit]

Please no spoiler talk in here. My mouse hand is weak and will instinctively highlight and then regret soon afterwards.

 

[Cornballer]

In previous years there have been real and fake leaks for BB, though afaik none of those were because of screeners.

 

[Mindlog]

Thanks for the possible spoiler warning. I don't mind getting spoiled as with this show the journey is just as important. Still, I will cut a motherfucker.
