Its unlikely but maybe they'll show that conversation via flashbacks at some point. Its very strange they left that out. I would expect that from the writers of Dexter no Breaking Bad...
Television Breaking Bad
- Thread starter Burndogg
- Start date
I was thinking that maybe not showing everyone's reaction to Walt being Heisenburg was because it would get a bit old if we saw everyone do it.
I am in no doubt that it wasn't shown to save time for other things, and although I would like to have seen it, I'm not too fussed we didn't. As long as the other stuff is good.

Personally I don't care for seeing hank telling "gomie". Things are moving at an epic pace right now so there wasn't a need for a scene like that. I can totally imagine how it went anyway. Hesitancy from Gomez with Hank explaining how he's convinced by it all and telling him to "trust him on this one". feck it.
My main problem with them not showing it, is that it was built up like a really big deal. Then all of a sudden; apparently no longer a big deal. If they simply ran out of space to show it, it's poor planning to spend time building it up really. For a show that's so well written it seems very odd.
Interesting still from the last episode....
Hmmmmm.
Hmmmmm.
Nice. I bet you'll be able to write pages and pages about the foreshadowing in this season when it's done.

Absolutely. It's a Media Studies teachers wet dream.
It's more than that for Hank; he needs to see Walt burn. He'd happily let Jesse free as in reality, he doesn't have a great deal against him, it's all on Walt. Or so we thought. He's led Jesse (and us) on, into thinking he genuinely cares about him, so long as Walt goes down. In reality he couldn't give a shit about Jesse.
Jesse is probably the only character universally liked. Walt cares for him, Hank does not.
Disagree. I've been for Walt all the way through, but Full Measure, Crawl Space, End Times and Face Off were all brilliant, and Walt's up against it in them all. As long as it's carried out really well, I'm not sure I'll be bothered what happens. For me it'd be preferable if it has a good ending for Walt, but I've been prepared for him to die for ages. I can't see how they can make Walt die and leave people like me satisfied, but that's why I'm not a top TV writer, and these people are.
The TV show is nearly over, what difference does it really make who lives and dies? They're fecking characters on a TV show, not people whose funeral we'd attend.
I don't know what pyrrich is, but I think it should be that too.
Fair point. Why do we even watch this anyway? It's not like any of it's real!
My point was about attachment, not whether or not it's real. We're watching the story of breaking bad, not the Hank vs. Walt show.
Right, and part of writing a classic TV show is creating characters the audience grow attached to. What are you watching if you don't care about Walt/Hank/Jesse?
Them dying doesn't intrinsically make the show better or worse, only the way they're written to die. i.e, if Walt gets hit by a bus on the final show, it'll be an anticlimax, if his death makes sense to the story then it's a good thing. Walt's death, then, doesn't actually matter, just the story of how he died.
Agreed mate. This show is about the development of the characters and basic morality. The outcome of the characters is the most important facet of the next few episodes.
I'm going to miss breaking bad so much when it finishes.
Why should Hank care about Jesse! He's a bloody drug peddler in the eyes of the law and needs to be put behind bars for it!
And yes hank wants to see Walt burn, and rightfully so. He's a cop for whom his job is his life. And here sitting under his nose is this famous Heisenberg who been selling meth for the last year in copious quantities and is responsible for almost 10 murders in that time too. As far as hank is concerned, brother in law or not, Walt is a psycho who needs to be put away.
Only a day to go, yo!
The very first poster for Breaking Bad Season 5, Part 2
I think we can assume what is going to happen.
Why do people keep saying that Jesse is universally liked? I, for one, don't subscribe to that train of thought. The sympathy Jesse receives - seemingly more so than any other character- from viewers of the show is very peculiar.
Exactly, some weird posts in this thread. I honestly don't a give feck about who'll live and die, I'm just hoping the ending captivates.The Shield's ending was brilliant in that aspect. Everything was so fecked up that even the living characters were in the shit.
Well I can tell from reading this thread that you're clearly bloody mental so we'll chalk that down as an anomaly.
Next person to spoil The Shield ending is thread banned........err Solius said.
Right, which is pretty much what I've said, I just don't see the issue with hoping there'll be a great ending (which I'm sure there will) AND your favourite character comes out on top.
It's not necessarily that he should care for him; this isn't my point. My point is that we all care about Jesse, right (apart from Silva who doesn't care about anyone)? You've also got what seems to be a majority of people wanting Hank to send Walt down. Well we've now seen that Hank doesn't give a shit about Jesse, despite pretending he does, whereas Walt does, when it appears he doesn't. It's a nice contrast, but in my eyes it makes Hank a prick. Like I said, sure he doesn't have to care about Jesse, but it's the way he's leading him on, when the audience above all seems to want Jesse to come through this okay.
Forget Jesse, if we look at the overall picure, in terms of "badness"'it is (as of now)
Hank>>>>>>>Jesse>>>>>walter white
Not caring for Jesse doesn't make Hank a prick. It makes him a cop doing his job. Walt cares about him because they made a lot of money and spent time together doing illegal activities. It's totally not comparable.
Anyway I don't care about who wins, I just want to enjoy the last remaining episodes of an utterly brilliant show.

Damn I got it the other way round.
Walt loves his children, that's his one redeeming quality.. that and his cheekbones.
It's the thing about Breaking Bad, every character is massively flawed and is a complete douche if you focus on the negative, but there is just about enough humanity in most of them that you should get mixed feelings about 'who you want to win'.

Erm... and he cooks the purest blue meth anyone's ever laid eyes upon...
Watched all the latest 4 episodes on the bounce yesterday evening. That confession scene is literally made me drop my mouth.
Yep, his best quality is that he is an absolute genius, whether it comes to cooking meth or manipulating people and situations.
Aye. I don't give a feck about how much he cares about Walter Junior. Humans are preprogrammed to love their children; who gives a shit?
He's pretty much MacGyver as well.
Same as that man. That was one mindblowing episode!!
I hope Walter Junior dies a horrible slow and painful death. Maybe leave him in the desert with no crutches.
I hope Hank kills Walter Jnr with a sniper rifle while he is eating breakfast.
In the last episode, I hope we see a montage of Walt Jnr eating cereal over the course of nine months and then it cuts to Walter in the diner.
I hope he dies of salmonella.
Walter Jr chokes on his breakfast pancakes when Jesse tells him Walt is Heisenberg.
Come on now guys, you're talking about a crippled kid here...
There are far easier ways for him to die than the ones mentioned above.
