IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
There is a photo knocking abaht of her with with Walt, but they might just be great showbiz buddies and she was visiting him on st.
Bit late in the day to start introducing new characters, woonit
Edit: here she is
Dean Norris tweeted out a photo of him with her and Bryan Cranston on set, which is where the rumour came from.
The Schraders have a Deadwood boxset --Anna Gunn was in Deadwood --so it seems likely that she does have a cameo.

Exasperated, not angry.
yes, I know, I have watched the show. But there is no way she would ever have 'confronted' Lydia if she was as under Walt's influence as they are now claiming. No chance.

IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
Looking at the pic, it looks like it was taken from a scene early in the half of the series - Walt all bald and with the tump Hank gave him. Must just be a visit i spose - i assume Bryan grew his hair and filmed the last scenes first, then shaved it for the rest of filming
Sorry, I misunderstood your question.
All she needs to say is that a strange woman turned up to wash a rental car and had a heated discussion with Walt. The date, the name of the rental company and a description of Lydia is all they need from her.

Is anyone else going to be pleased when it is over? I'm getting sick of the endless speculation, parodies, etc. Even though I've indulged in them a little myself 
I'm all for enjoying a show but this has gone beyond anything I've ever known. Is it like this with other shows? I didn't watch the Wire when it was 'live', or the Sopranos, so have no reference point. I know Lost was pretty big but this feels moreso?
And then after next week it will be loads of people whingeing about post-BB depression or something.

I binge watched the first four and a half seasons the week before 5B started. I did prefer that way of watching it. Weekly episodes make me hunt out reviews and forums and it does ruin it a bit.Is anyone else going to be pleased when it is over?

People who discovered it earlier have been waiting a very long time for this. Season 5A was shown two years ago I think.

I've been watching it since series 1 was first broadcast
In honestly wish they'd left it at series 4. The ending was perfect. This series, despite what everyone has been saying, hasn't been up to the standard of the others.*ducks*

I do like the discussion between episodes, but it's just gone crazy. I also like binging on 3 in a day etc.
We should have a TV club, like the book club. Where we rewatch a series, week by week. Like the wire or whatever. And discuss it. Not sure how much discussion there would be though if we've all already seen it before?
Probably a shit idea

Vince: ... and then for the last episode we can combine Fi Na Le to spell FiNaLe !
Other people: Theres no Fi and no Le.. Fe Li Na?
Vince: Fuck it, FeLiNa! Anagrams Bitch!
*episode name revealed*
Producers/whoever: Vince, some people are saying Fe Li Na is boffin code for blood meth and tears. Wasnt it just an improvised anagram?
Vince: dont say anything

With The Wire and Breaking Bad, when I've rewatched them I've seen things I haven't noticed before, points where something has changed for a character but it wasn't writ large, little things and sometimes big things, like season 5 of The Wire was a ridiculous story line but in rewatching it I decided that was the point - it was ludicrous, yet for everyone who knew and had the power to stop it, it was in all their interests to keep it going, building on the theme of institutional corruption that becomes evident in the series.
I don't reckon I'd join in a TV club thread but these shows are definitely rewatchable and discussable, I talked on here quite a bit about BB when I watched it again, bringing up things I hadn't noticed before.

Sopranos fan base had massively shrunk by the end and the fanbase less geeky about it all. I watched the Wire after it finished....but I believe it also had a smaller crowd seeing it to the end. There was some 'uproar' after the sopranos cos people felt short changed by the ending. Dexter ended this week. It was shit.
Breaking Bad seems to have grown.....with more and more cramming the whole thing into their month of freebie netflix. It's everywhere right now....

What would Badgers do?
I've just started watching some of the first season again. It's interesting watching it again knowing what happens later on, Walt knows exactly what he's doing right from episode one.

In terms of manipulating/abusing Jesse definitely, I don't think the whole "become the king pin" thing happens until his cancer goes into remission, every move towards it before then is borne out of the feeling of desperate need to make enough money before he dies, which means selling more meth than Jesse can sell. I can't remember when the whole Jesse dealing with a crew bit happened though, or if the deals with Tuco would have been big enough if Tuco hadn't been psycopathic and then died.

I am certain this means Ben Kenobi will make it all better.....

I've come to realise that binge watching series is more fun. I didn't see breaking bad until xmas where I binge watched it with my mate and it was fantastic. This second half of series 5 is the only time I've watched it week by week, I've still found it immensely enjoyable but I find the excitement of the episode you've just watched fades fairly quickly and the anticipation of the next episode isn't as intense. Binge watching is like doing a line of good coke and then topping it up every 45 minutes! I guess that's why it's called binge watching eh?

perhaps, taking the long view, the whole thing was actually DESIGNED to be consumed like meth itself, in massive jittery nervous heartpumping dayslong binges. form and content and all that. hmmmm

Just looked back at my first post about this back in 2008... Seems like my prediction that it "Could go big" is a bit of an understatement! Glad I was around from day one... /smugmode ; )
We owe you and your ilk a debt of gratitude!
Gilligan credits Netflix for rescuing them from bad scheduling by the networks. The interviewer then asked if piracy also helped and he had to admit that it played a big part in getting the word out.
Thanks man!

Good. At least they don't have an agendum, like Sky/Fox.
