You could see how much it tore him up when Hank was praising Gale thinking he was Heisenberg (Hence Walt's subsequent actions).

Not long to wait!!

I love it when Hank makes that joke accusation of Walter. When you're the viewer and you know the whole truth, it's just superbly ironic to watch.

The same as when he grabs the carry bag filled with cash and Walt tells him there's half a million in cash in it. Flying very close to the sun!

It's not what the show's about anyway. We've never really been watching to hope for the happy ending. You could say that at the start, when Walt feared death and genuinely wanted to make money for them, but he seems to have reached a point where he doesn't really give a shit. As a result, neither do we. Obviously we care what happens, but I don't think we're that bothered if he dies or not.

Him leaving that book lying around was neither careless from Walt nor the writers. There's a part of him wanting to get caught; wanting to see an ending.

I think the AV club article was right, his pride is his major flaw. It's not that he wants to get caught, he just doesn't think anyone can catch him. Leaving the book around and telling Hank there was money in the bag all comes from his pride, it's him flaunting what he's doing in the (false) knowledge that he's too smart to be brought down.

You're right about us not caring if Walter lives or dies, he's done too much to deserve his happy ending. I'd say it's Jesse who most people care about at this stage, he's become the moral centre of the show. That's another point the AV club article made well; Jesse is the protagonist now and Walt is the antagonist.
 
I'm getting a girl I know into Breaking Bad. We watched the first episode the other day, my god Walt was meek back then. You have to see his transformation to believe it.
 
OK, finished what we have of season 5 last night again. Honestly, for anyone who hasn't recapped before the next 8 airs, I'd advise you to do so because there's so much I had forgotten already. Totally forgot about the European operation and how much cash he had stashed away.
 
Some people call it filler but I see it as a great example of what you can do with two superb actors in just one location.
 
The fly episode was probably my favourite at that stage. The tension when Jesse is on the ladder about to get the fly and Walt is on the verge of telling him about Jane was quality.

In other words, watch the last episode that aired.

;)
 
Not sure how I missed this the first time round but I just realised Hank was watching Lesbian porn when his leg was fecked up
 
He responded to me in an AMA on reddit. I told him he was awesome.
 
Anyone who follows Netflix UK on Twitter seen what they've been retweeting last hour or so?

Essentially people have been getting these buckets delivered, in the style of Los Pollos batter, like in the show, as well as a Heisenberg bowler hat. Inside the bucket are the Blue Sky Candy "crystal meth" sweets and a bunch of other stuff related to the show.

Very cool. Want.

Just finished rewatching Season 2. Jesse's reaction and self-hatred after Jane's death is brilliantly acted by Aaron Paul. Her death really is a turning point, for both characters. I still find the whole plane crash thing a bit odd though.
 
Apart from Cranston's shenanigans at the beginning that was a very mature panel Q&A. The writing for this show has been great and (a bit like Game of Thrones) every character is their own shade of grey. Cannot wait to see how this pans out.

The whole plane thing was arguably a bit far fetched and over the top to try and demonstrate the whole "actions have consequences" theme, but I'm not too bothered by it since the reaction was handled well, ie Walt's speech in the school to all the pupils which was very good. My only other complaint about it is that it seemed to be forgotten about fairly quickly though for such a major event and then wasn't really mentioned again. You'd expect something which had such a major impact and would've been such a massive event to be mentioned more often, even just in the passing.

It was in a way, you had Saul regularly making phone calls throughout the season trying to get a class action started! :lol:
 
Quite an interesting theory I found, it may contain big spoilers so read at your own discretion:
"In Breaking Bad, Walt has a habit of taking on some little traits of the people he has killed.When Walt killed Crazy 8, he started cutting off the crusts of his sandwiches — just as Crazy 8 had done.
Gus drives a Volvo. After Walt kills Gus, at the beginning of Season 5 (at the Denny’s), Walt is driving a Volvo (w/ NH plates).

When Mike and Walt meet at a bar in an earlier season, Walt orders his drink neat while Mike has his on the rocks. After Mike is killed, and Hank offers Walt a drink in his office — he asks for it on the rocks.
At that same scene at Denny’s, Walt arranges his bacon into his new age. Someone else used to do that. On top of that, he’s using Skyler’s maiden name on his fake ID.

Based on his history of picking up traits from his victims — I believe Walt is going to murder Skyler before the series is over, and it probably had already happened before he showed up at the Denny’s in the Season 5 cold open."
