Television Breaking Bad

We still need to see what happens to the house. I assume next week will be more of a set up than the last 2 tour de forces. I'd even guess that Cranston may not be in it much.
I think that's a possibility. They may just deal with "everything pre 52nd" in the next episode.
 
:eek: My word that was some cracking tv.

Kudos to all the actors involved in that. Everyone brought their A game. Thought they resolved the A-Team gun battle last week in a satisfactory manner (still a little odd that they didn't at least peak with the Hank thing) but after that just wow, new levels of cuntishness from Walt...but at the same time Cranston played it so well that you felt his pain as everything slipped away from him.

Phenomenal 45 minutes of television.


I honestly thought that was some of the most uncuntish Walt's ever been. He risked $80million dollars to save Hank's life and cleared Skyler's name ("I built it, I alone!!").

Thinking about it now, previously I was a bit against the idea of Walt being a bit on the fence in terms of his moral aligment at this point, but it was absolutely worth it just for the phone call scene. That was like...one of the best pieces of acting ever. Incredible.

I think the vast majority of views of this video are mine!



Not really, that would be about 10 hours worth...
 
Except for, you know, what he did to Jesse.


Yeah, that was a big vengeful to be fair. :lol: It would never have happened had Jesse not got all up in Walt's territory though, yo.

Do we? It's possible that the graffiti was just done by the skateboarders who were fecking around in his yard if that's what you're referring to.

On another note I was so glad they didn't do the old tv cliche of someone getting accidentally stabbed with the knife when they were rolling around the floor. I thought he was gonna stab Skylar or worse still, accidentally stab his own son.

feck, I'd forgotten about them going back for the tape too. Possibly some more repercussions for Walts family next week then and maybe more reason for him to return for vengeance.

It was giving Jesse up that was the cnuts trick although again it was perfectly understandable at that moment as Walt clearly blamed him for what had just happened to Hank.

We can be sure that those two have unfinished business at least. I have a few ideas as to how that might play out.
 
Not sure how much to read into this, but given the show's propensity for foreshadowing, it's something worth noting:

That'll come true just like the Hank behind bars shot came true.

Are you sure that's genuine btw? It looks shopped.

Capped it myself when I couldn't find the original I saw earlier. But yes, there have been a lot of false "foreshadowings" (Walt Jr. getting in a car wreck, Hank killing himself etc.) and I am treating this one with the same sense of skepticism, but just felt it was worth posting as I'd seen it mentioned on other forums.
 
Walt dies of cancer


Nice one, that's that then. The whole rest of the show has lacked any deep element at all.

Or to mention the fact that his hair is back, suggesting his cancer might have gone.

Well done.
 
The best thing about that phone call is he also lowkey managed to get a lot of shit off his chest too.

Actually that's suggestive only of him not having undergone treatment. Which wouldn't be surprisingly since he's America's most wanted criminal.

The show begins with cancer and it ends with cancer. I don't see what's particularly shallow about that.

However, the time between stopping chemo and him dying probably wouldn't allow for him to grow a full head of hair or a beard would it?

I think the cancer is the one thing Walt can't escape, but trying to predict this show? I don't buy that one bit.
 
Marie is a target for the neo-nazi's now though, at least indirectly because they need jesse's confession tape.
 
Also, I understand that they have commitments and all but anyone else wondering why the hell a bunch of guys who just inherited the best part of $70 million are bothered about cooking meth in a shitty little outhouse in the middle of buttfeck Arizona?

I'd be on the next flight to the Maldives.
 
Okay, what exactly was the "information" that the nazis wanted from Jesse?

Greed. Without it the premise of the entire show would be obsolete.
 


Well this is what a doctor friend told me less than an hour ago, I speculated about the cancer killing him, he just said their is every chance it has gone.

Think about it, he's found in Vermont a year later, with hair and a beard. So it means the chemo has stopped.

They're greedy. If anything the money was probably a realization as to how much they can actually make if they get it right.
 
I thought it was because they knew he talked to the police and wanted to find out what he said, no?

Blue meth may make sense, not sure why they had to beat him senseless for that though.


You have to teach a rat a lesson. Plus they had to subdue him into cooking and they like violence.

Right but, I'm pretty sure it had something to do with what he told the cops.

If anything the cooking seemed more of an afterthought as they said they'd kill him after he told them what he knew.

A doctor. Right.
 
:lol: I was just stating the obvious.


Yeah but I disagree on the level it's obvious, I don't disagree that his cancer will kill him, it most likely will - the show loves a framed narrative, fine. But it also likes an absolute fecking wild-card and suggesting BB isn't deep, that's baffling. Even just from a cinematic perspective it has many levels. Not to mention narrative-wise.
 
They took Jesse to find out how much he ratted and whether there was anything out there that could hurt them. He told them about that tape he recorded with Hank and Gomie after they beat/tortured him.

That was it but what could he have said to the police about them? Did Jesse even know about them prior to the shoot out?

It does but Todd needs to up his meth game, jesse can teach him, then he can bang Lydia.

They need the confession tape, but that indicts Walter mainly.
 
Yeah Todd said "he was out there with those feds, shouldn't we find out what he told them first?".

Unless that was a cover up in front of Walt (doubt it), then that was clearly the main intention.
