DAPSIHFAiuhgf;;saigdfpsiah I love it I love it I love it!

 

[kenny g]

Great. Should be a good few months ahead.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Good episode and nice to see that some of the scientific bits have come back - plus it was Jessie coming up with it.

Not sure about waiting for this time next year to see the last eight episodes

 

[Orang Utan]

I forgot what happened last season: why is Mike so cross with Walt at first?

 

[belboid]

y'know that thing they go on about at length in this episode? That's why


Most enjoyable opener

I forgot what happened last season: why is Mike so cross with Walt at first?

I don't think he ever liked or trusted Walt, considers him an amateur and a liability and now

Spoiler

Walt's killed his boss and

Mike just sees a lot of unnecessary hassle and possible exposure for himself.

Nicely understated start to the series I thought. Can see this getting even more unbearably tense than the last one, especially with the gap in the middle of the series!

 

[dogmatique]

Threatening Walt. No wonder Skylar is scared of him. Great start to the new season!

 

[Orang Utan]

I didn't think of Mike as being particularly loyal to Gus. I thought he'd admire Walt for his chutzpah

 

[Iguana]

In their first scene together Mike told Walt and Jesse that they don't know what they've done. Gus was most likely not the head of the cartel he worked for. We already know that a lot of his equipment was coming through a company in Germany. With Gus dead it's likely that his organisation is not dead as Walt assumes but that someone from the German company is about to come find out what happened and re-establish control of the area.

Which thing?

 

[belboid]

Your sense of humour is weird.

I dont believe for a second you dont know full well its because he'd just killed Gus

 

[Orang Utan]

I thought Mike was a mercenary type. Angry maybe cos his cash supply had gone i suppose but not that pissed that he'd want to kill him. I assumed he would just come and work for Walt cos he Walt proved to be a bigger badass. But Mike was hopping mad like Gus was his brother.

So maybe he's pissed cos Walt's endangered them all even further

 

[Iguana]

That's what I think anyway. I thought that from the end of last season and I think that line from Mike in this episode may confirm it.

 

[twistedAM]

I thought at the end that Skyler was going to another anal probe (see pilot episode) but instead Walt just went "I Forgive You". He really thinks he's the big man.

Not a bad season opener at all. Lots of characters not used (e.g. Hank, Jesse's girlfriend etc) but good to see:

 

[D'wards]

Can you remind me again - why did Skyler need to bail out Ted financially? The fake inheritance and that?

 

[Orang Utan]

Cos she would have been prosecuted by the IRS along with him for cooking the books.

 

[joustmaster]

... but instead Walt just went "I Forgive You". He really thinks he's the big man.

And the bit in the car after the magnet job, where he said something like "because I said so"
Seems to be coming across like he thinks he is some sort of demigod

 

[Ranbay]

Hank was in it, he was suited up and spotted the CCTV

 

[Iguana]

Thinking about it last night, in the episode with the flashback to the Mexican drug lord,Don Eladio, killing Gus's partner-cook. Eladio says that he knows who Gus really was in Columbia and knows better than to kill him because of it. So even if the German company did belong to Gus, for some reason anyone who knew who he was, knew he was untouchable because killing him would result in something worse than the worst Gus would do.

Because he thinks he's completed his bloody ascent to 'scarface' now and resents being challanged by his minions?

 

[Orang Utan]

I imagine his hubris is gonna set him up for a few shocks and maybe a mighty fall

Oh yeah and the bit with Saul as well.
Walt has gone up in his own estimation.

I must rewatch the opening sequence when he's in Denny's playing with bacon again. Not that it's probably going to give me much of a clue as who would have guessed the plane crash in series 2 from those particular opening sequences?
I'll take a punt in the dark and say Walt opens up a nuclear attack on Canada as they were the ones funding Gus all along. It's all going to go a bit South Park.

 

[belboid]

I imagine his hubris is gonna set him up for a few shocks and maybe a mighty fall

That is the law of TV (and most good) drama

 

[Metal Malcolm]

Really enjoyed the new episode, and you know it's a question of when, not if, Walt's going to suffer. BUT:

Spoiler

There's no way Ted Benenke is still alive. They really would have mentioned that sooner. When did he smack his head, end of S3?
