It's sad what AMC has become at this point. I understand that they're a business obligated to try and make a profit, but the corners that they're cutting are absurd. At least we got two great shows out of them before they went public and started up with these antics.
Its such a cringe worthy difference between there shows from before and there new reality stuff
 
Oh, I thought I had read to do that in the OP! :b Sorry, boss

If your speculation involves the preview for the next ep, definitely tag it. If it's super spoilery stuff, use the spoiler thread.

But if you're simply and innocently speculating on future events - e.g. "I think Jesse and Hank will use the Necronomicon to resurrect Mike and send him after Walt" - just post it normally.
 
Who keeps the garage door opener on themselves while working in the garage? Hank does.

Ah, gotcha.
 
SO many callbacks in one episode:
-cigarette pack at Saul's
-the remote control car
-the cockroach

What else did I miss?

the Heisenberg emblem/drawing ? that you see for a a minute when hank got the stuff from the police station ? ( maybe? not sure)
also great episode, cant wait till next week.
 
am I the only one not liking the return of emo jessie
Yeah, Jesse was definitely annoying during this episode, but the season just started so it's not too bad. At this rate I hope we'll be seeing desperate Jesse and Walt sooner than expected.

Todd apparently sucks at cooking, and Walt refuses to help them, so I'm seeing two paths they can take here: either do something crazy to force Walt to cook for them again or kidnap Jesse.
 
Most of the critical and GAF reaction was that it's mediocre. I haven't watched it yet. Probably will get to it tomorrow.
eh, that could still change in the next couple of episode and a become a great show
I hope it's good - I want high quality television on the air regardless of what network it's on.

I would normally agree but I'm really sick of amc bullshit and oh god if it get good I probably going to watch it
 
Great episode. I like how they didn't beat around the bush and just let Hank and Walt lay it all out on the table. I wondered what Hank was gonna do after he read that book for the longest time. I couldn't see him sneaking around for an episode or two without Walt noticing, because...well, he's Hank. I was guessing that Hank will confront him head-on from the get-go, but I never thought that Walt would just come into his house and do what I was expecting Hank would do xd

It's surreal to see Hank's usual motorboat of a mouth stutter like that. Great acting by Dean. I want next Sunday to come here right here, right now
 
I really don't think that Walt will be using that ricin on himself, Walt isnt the kind of person to kill himself. If he does it will be in a shootout with police where he can at least believe just a little that he has a chance of coming out alive, Walt has always been a fighter. Remember the very first episode? When he thought those cop cars were coming for him, what did he do? He made a quick video for his family and pulled out a pistol, ready to engage the cops in a shootout to the death.

What intrigues me about the ricin and the machine gun is the fact that we know at this point Walter has been found out. Ricin to kill someone in a stealthily fashion so that perhaps no one knows he was poisoned, or used on someone not suspecting it. But considering everyone knows who Walt is who could he be possibly trying to kill?

I don't about the ricin but on that point on whether or not Walt's the type of person to commit suicide is interesting.
One of the main driving characteristics about Walt's character choice, right? It's been stressed quite a bit.Everything he's done to this point is the result of him making decisions for himself and whatnot. Ever since the first season and when he got diagnosed with cancer,Walt expressed that he wanted to make the choice himself on whether or not to do chemo. Choosing not to get out of the meth business when he had all those opportunities.
Walt will make his own choice, if he chooses not die by the hand of whoever I can definitely seeing him deciding how he dies so killing himself because he wants to doesn't seem so far off to me.

Or is that the point of the Cancer? Walt realizing that he has no choice since the cancer can take him whenever? Or maybe Walt will decide that he doesn't want cancer to decide when he dies and he takes that choice into his own hands?

I'm rambling.

This guy who's literally fucking broken from a year of bloody tragedy is just sooo annoying. Where does he get off feeling remorse? Why can't he be a nice sociopath like Walt?
 
Wasn't as good as I thought it'd be. At this point it's really hard to care about Jessie, I think they should just focus on hank and Walt. Jessies entire predicament just seems too forced and trifling compared to Walt/hank confrontation. Hope the next episode is better.

A lot of pacing issues. The whole scene at Jessie's house ant star trek was a draaaaag.

do you remember jesse when he proposed to walt that he's out and asked for his share of the money? he was fine

he became a crybaby after thinking about what walt said about the money being ''blood money'' as if it weren't already obvious

no shit jesse, that's dirty money, like what did you just start being a criminal yesterday or something?

This is what I find somewhat weird. From the flash forward this episode it seems as though people know Walter White is Heisenberg. If teenage skaters tagged his own house then that means it hit the news. However, from the previous flash forward we see him with a new identity. If Walt hit the news then someone in that diner would of known he was Walter White; I mean it's not like people in ABQ are as dumb as those in the Daily Planet. They would of could seen the resemblance, but no one recognized him.

Also, there's also the fact that Walt bought a machine gun and got the ricin too. Why would he need both? Better yet, who does he need to use the ricin on? If he's going to out in bang then why not use the machine gun for both situation (to kill himself and those he's gonna take out).

I hope all of it is answered in due time and not that the writers wrote themselves into a ditch.

Too forced? They've been building the issues Jesse has for pretty much the entire show lol. Not to mention that Jesse believes Mike is dead

I can see the star trek scene being too slow though. I'll grant you that. But that's only if you don't care about what badger is talking about
 
Mike was like the dad he never really had.

Eh, that's not how I would characterize their relationship. First of all Jesse has a dad who never, as far as we know, mistreated him. Jesse was just a bad kid. Second, if Jesse were to have a sort of father figure he looked up to initially that would be Mr. White.

I'd say that Jesse respected the hell out of Mike, unlike Walter he didn't treat Jesse like a kid or an idiot and allowed him to handle situations on his own. He also saved Jesse's life.

His dad didn't get him. Mike did. Walter started off in the surrogate dad role then Mike picked it up when Walt went over that edge.

Sure, but my patience is somewhat low these days with all of the great television that's on or has aired recently. No reason to sit around waiting for something to get good when there are so many other options.

Todd apparently sucks at cooking, and Walt refuses to help them, so I'm seeing two paths they can take here: either do something crazy to force Walt to cook for them again or kidnap Jesse.

I don't really get how Walt can think he could just get out of cooking without consequences. I know it's there to move the plot along and create the future conflict but it's still kind of out of place.

Lydia's gonna be the catalyst for everything going to hell. That's pretty certain. (Unless Vince Gilligan wants us to think that.)
 
That was pretty good, but right now I'm more interested in the "future" than in the present. Wonder what happened.
 
His character is so annoying when he goes through these phases.

While I do agree that the show shows too much of Jesse spacing out and making those faces where Aaron Paul is probably rushing all the blood he can to his face, it's totally in character. However in this episode it sorta bothered me only in the Badger/Skinny Pete Star Trek talk scene. I liked the scene where he gave the hobo money and started throwing the money around. It's when we see Jesse do something with these feelings the most interesting, not when he's staring into space.
 
Awesome episode. Very happy they moved forward with the Walt and Mike confrontation and how it was played out.

I still hope Walt makes it to the end. Maybe I haven't learned anything from the whole show, (which occurred to me when Hank was listing off the bad things he's done), but I still want him to win, or at least go out with a bang.

Oh, and Skylar at Lydia was awesome. The Gus stuff was great, too.

Characters feeling remorse and going through emotional changes is bothersome. Let's have every character be a cold sociopathic Napoleon-type like Walt and just have them bark threats and make plans for an hour.

Maybe his ego had him believe that nothing would of happen because you know, he's the great "Heisenberg."
