I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass.

Yep. I think Walt's downfall is gonna happen sooner than we expect, and more than a few episodes are going to be about what he does when he actually HAS hit rock bottom/lost everything.

That's the only reason I hate her. I've become more sympathetic to her during my second viewing of the series, but the Ted stuff is just disgusting. Fuck cheaters. It's never justified.
lol, they were separated.

It's not so fucked up that she fucked Ted, it's fucked up that she went to work specifically to seduce him after Walt showed her the bag of money and opened up about why he did what he did. There was nothing she could say to this so, per usual, she acted out childishly. Haha, Ted's cum hadn't even dried inside her before she ran home to throw what she'd done in Walt's face with a god damn salad in her hands.
I was really hoping they'd fuck, tbh.

THR looking into to what Vince Gilligan might do next:

Speculation based on that NYT video, Gilligan interviews and what could happen in the second half:
So, they discuss how the long-talked about plan to kill Jesse in the first season never happened. What I found interesting is how Aaron Paul mentions how "Jesse dies then it drives Walt into this big revenge arc" or something to that effect. Knowing this, and how they've mentioned that pieces of unused Season 1 bits are being incorporated into the finale, I'm really not too sure that Jesse's gonna survive

Skyler fucked Ted specifically to try to get him to sign the divorce. It was a pressure move.
Remember when Walt tried to make out with the principle?
edit that was covered i see
Same here. That'll mean more Carmen screentime ......
Wasn't that scene supposed to justify that they need a break from the kids or whatever? Like, wasn't she trying to get Hank and Marie to take Holly and Walt Jr.?

Yeah, I've been watching the series again in anticipation of the end, and Jane was definitely poison.
Something different, Tuco's cousins are still about the dumbest shit ever.
She was trying to make a scene in the most dramatic way she could think of. It wasn't her literally going insane or anything.
Mmmmm, all for that.
Also: she did imply that she was there for anything so I was hoping she wanted him to jump her bones right there.
That was a great great scene I thought. Probably wasn't a realistic course of action but it was partly done for symbolism's sake and I thought it turned out great.
Jane is far, far more annoying than Skyler.
Basic human decency = hitting on.
It just seemed like a little scene in Peekaboo where her and Walt are alone. The way she says to come to her if he needs anything might have implied something. The way she acted seemed like how things like that start in TV shows. Maybe it's something that the writers just didn't care about and moved on.

Bad timing. She was definitely throwing him the ass throughout S2, but she's a little concerned/creeped out by his behavior in S3.
Dat gymnasium speech.
Is that you, Dennis?

I found all of that wholly believable as well, but YMMV

The resolution in 5.1 is also so good. Watched it again this week and forgot how incredible that scene is.
I'm finishing my rewatch of the entire series and I just experienced one "THAT SHOW" moment that I don't remember from this thread.
Fifty-One. Final scene. The scene where Walt shows Skyler the watch he was given by Jesse, goes to the bedroom, and puts it on his nightstand. The clock is ticking away, which yeah, is pretty much on-the-nose knowing we are nearing the end coupled with Mike's earlier quote about Walt being a ticking time-bomb. Pretty obvious moment.
Only what it really was saying actually wasn't that obvious. He doesn't simply put in on his nightstand. He puts the watch on Gale's copy of Leaves of Grass that was there.
And we even get a nice close-up with only watch ticking away Walt's time and Leaves of Grass. Episode 4 right here and there indicates that this book will be Walt's ultimate downfall.
Damn. It might not be as mind-blowing to some, but it was to me.

Hey the Beneke thing led to amazingness from Bill Burr, so it was all worth it for that alone

No sympathy for Jesse. Jane was a great person sober and Jesse dragged back into something that killed her. That's was his guilt was about and he was fucking right.
Great catch.
No sympathy for Jesse's mother. If she didn't kick Jesse out of that house, he never would have met Jane and lead her toward her eventual death.
She was definitely teasing him in season 2, but I think the reality of him reciprocating and how in your face he was about it freaked her out.

When I heard Cranston go "ooooooooh" when Vince talked about that episode/director, I got chills.

No sympathy for Jane or Jesse in that period. Jesse is at his least likable and once Jane started using she became a different person.
She didn't deserve to die though, that's the crime I couldn't forgive Walt for.

I thought Jesse was at his most likeable during that period. :/
They were both alright and they just ruined each other :'(

I might be remembering wrong, but once he was using he was pretty annoying. Before that he was quite likable. (and fuck his parents)
Come to think of it, if Jesse's little brother wouldn't have had the joint, Jesse wouldn't be kicked out of the house, the Pinkman parents wouldn't find the meth lab in the basement, they wouldn't force him out of his house, he wouldn't meet Jane, Jane wouldn't OD, and Donald wouldn't cause the plane crash.
Walt, stand aside. You're not the true villain of this series.
