I am so fucking hyped. There is nothing that will stop me from being in front of a television on Sunday night at 10pm EST. I will go Terminator Gus on anyone who tries.
 
If you're counting indirectly you have to count the people that died in that horrific plane crash. Walt has killed over a hundred people.
 
Feel like waiting until next fall and going on blackout until then just so I can watch them all during a 1 day marathon.
 
Starting a sort-of-rewatch. On "...And the Bag's in the River" now. I thought I'd just skip a few after the pilot but I needed to see the body dissolving and Crazy 8 stuff. Too good. I'll have to start skipping around soon if I want to make it in time, but I don't know if I'll have the strength.

Sky's gonna live through the end of the series and write a best-selling memoir. Watch.

I'm hoping all of Walt's family survives.
 
I just got this image in my head while I was out walking today. What if there's a scene again with both Hank and Walt Jr. together just hanging out like they were back at Pollos. Hank would be giving his typical uncle Hank talk until Jr. brings up the Pablo Escobar book. He tells Hank he finished reading it, which then leads to Hank bringing up a relative subject: Heisenberg.

And then I thought what if Jr. sparks the thought in Hanks mind that allows him to figure out or at least speculate that Walt is in fact his Heisenberg? Maybe Jr. asks Hank about how Escobar's drugs are made and who makes them for him, which Hank replies scientists/chemists and people looking for easy routes to mad cash. And Walt Jr. goes ''lolol my dad could do that'' and Hank is like :|
 
I became a Breaking Bad fan a few months ago by watching all the seasons in the span of around 5 days, It's going to be tough waiting for an episode weekly. The wait between the first and second half of the season is going to be even harder. :(

Hm, realizing it'd be kind of impossible for Jake Pinkman to return. Unless they just get a new actor or have a huge time jump forward. No way that actor looks close to how he looked 4+ years ago.

I think he meant that Hector doesn't really count, since he was a suicide bomber.

Oh, yup, that makes more sense haha

For me, the plane crash part was probably the low of the series. I don't think it was necessarily bad, per say, but it always felt like it was trying too hard, really forcing the themes down ones throat. It seemed so unnecessarily unsubtle. And then the way Walt reacted to it, and the implications of taking partial blame for the incident... I don't know, it just never sat right with me.

Still, I wouldn't really count the plane crash in Walt's corner... like, the Dad was grieving or whatever, true, but he shouldn't have been at work anyway at that time.
 
Yeah, Walt's indirectly responsible for the plane crash in a way, but not really in the same way as most of the ones people have listed. It'd be a bit silly to include them in a tally of deaths he was responsible for. Bad enough he basically killed Jane, he couldn't have even guessed that'd cause a plane crash.

And I don't think it was a low point for the series and I think it was fine.
 
In my books that's killing her. If you can save a life without risk of immediate harm to yourself and you don't, you're at least part responsible for that death. What he did in that scene was stone cold and that fact showed in his face. He knew damn well what he was doing.

Jane killed herself with a bit of Jesse's help, Walt simply didn't save her.

Saving Jane would have simply required putting her in the fetal position so she doesn't choke on her own vomit. Walt was right there and willfully chose not to save her life when he easily could have, thereby causing her death through inaction.
 
I agree with that, BUT the cause of her death wasn't initiated by Walt. He could've saved her but he didn't KILL her per say.


Oh well, interpretations.
 
Walt almost always acts entirely in his own self interest. Him going to get Jesse from the meth house, and killing the two dudes in 'Half Measures' were rare exceptions

It was. Walter, while trying to wake Jesse knocked Jane onto her back. Without Walter she may still have vomitted but she would not have died at that moment (this is explained earlier in the season when Jane explains to Jesse that he should lie on his side and never on his back). He without a doubt caused her death in that scene, both directly (by knocking her over) and indirectly (by letting her die).

It can be seen here to confirm it:

EDIT: Oh well, guess I was too late to clarify this.
 
Walt saved Jesse from getting vomit all over his back.

I remember my initial reaction to this whole thing...I went from really liking Jane to hating her guts in the span of a few minutes, and then this happens.

The show does a good job of making you cheer for a real shitbag of a human.

This scene is so surreal, yet rooted in reality. My experience with a major drug addict in my family was similar.

I saw this and i was wondering what was the point of the digging and why it affected him like that.


Also during Hank's talk with his DEA friends he mentioned a company called Madrigal who has a hand in Gus's fast food chain and then i remembered that after looking in the op earlier and seeing the episode titles there is one with the same name.

So i wonder if it means they are gonna go deeper on this company?.
