Trolling LOL.
I love that scene. Think I'll watch it again now.
I love the detail they give to cars in this series. I'm sure they had Skyler's sensible stationwagon backfiring when she couldn't find a space cos of the muscle cars.

Another of the things that makes the writing great.
US characterisation of women is often either the 100% loyal to her man type or the pycho nutter bitch.
Either saint or devil.
This is a lot more real. Characters who aren't always likeable because people aren't always likeable in real life.

I don't think Skyler has ramped things up really, she's largely capitulated to Walt, albeit in a way that tells him she might be a problem. She's said she is a coward, and that she is waiting for the cancer to come back to kill Walt.
Anyway, another episode tonight so we might find out more, or not.. is it 7 episodes in this half of the season?

fucking awesome but wrong
16 episodes in total 8 per half... potentially there maybe a 6th series... or alternatively this tweet on 31st May might be referring to the second part of this series, but previously he's mentioned that they are splitting the series so maybe not ...

Fucking hell the new episode is mindblowing. My favourite of this series so far.

I'll wait for people who might foolishly look at this thread before watching the episode before saying anything else.
Nah, fuck 'em.
That was epic. I'm wondering if Todd might not come to replace Jesse in Walt's estimation now, having proved himself to be untroubled by guilt, pity and things of that nature. Walt's clearly gone beyond the point where giving a fuck about other people is gonna get in his way, so that could be very bad news for Jesse.
I loved the scene in Hank's office as well. Walt clearly knew that alpha-male Hank would have to leave the room when he saw him go all emotional, letting him plant the bugs but also winning him some sympathy points for use in his power struggle with Skyler. Brilliant writing that, and it illustrates the interesting fact that Walt is willing to completely humiliate himself if it gets him what he wants. Walt's not in the market for respect at this point, all he wants is power and complete control over his little world of drugs and crime.
I was expecting this show to tail off a little bit towards the end, the way most US drama series do as more episodes get comissioned than there is enough plot to fill, but it just keeps getting better. When you hear someone talking about a TV show where a chemistry teacher becomes a drug baron you think it's gonna be something throwaway and comedic, a one-trick pony. What we've got instead is a multi-layered greek tragedy and a genuine moral fable.

Nah, Jesse is the man with the plan this season - the magnets in ep1, designing the flightcase container lab (though not the original plan) and now the heist here.. Walt's not happy with Mike though and I said earlier I could see Walt seeking to take mike out of the operation, and do that role himself with Jesse becoming the cook.. Todd could be the person Walt needs to do the dirty work, but I can't see him replacing Jesse in Walt's mind/emotion - if anything Jesse is coming of age this season in Walt's eyes, he's impressed with him at key points, not dissapointed like it was all the time in season 1 (and maybe 2-4 as well but I just watched s1 again with a friend so I can remember that properly).

YESSSSSSSS BITCH!
A touch of suspension of belief through the 'job', though an utterly brilliant episode, and a true return to form for the series.

It's possible Walt could start to see Jesse as a threat as well though, precisely because of his growing confidence. Jesse is now following the same path Walt did earlier in the series, becoming increasingly audacious and crafty with each successful enterprise.
Walt has no sentimentality left for anyone else, even his kids are just more pieces on the big monopoly board, it doesn't seem likely that his attachment to Jesse will last longer than Jesse's usefulness to him, or his subservience...

I don't wanna start foaming at the mouth or anything, but visually Breaking Bad blows everything else out of the water as well. The desert scenes are a thing of rare beauty.

Does anyone else find it hard to get their head around the fact it all started (in the story) around 1 year ago?

Yes, feels like too short a time period to me, like it should have taken place over 2-3 years at least.

Holy shit that was a good episode
That was fucking good Walt is an all out shit now eh. I think Hank is going to find out he is bugged at some point and start sending out false signals. He has been good police for a while now, he'll piece the bug together with the reappearance of the good meth somehow and use it to set a trap somehow.

As soon as Hank realises he's been bugged he must suspect Walt...Not to mention his fingerprints will be all over it. I assume a retraction mission is on the cards later on in the series.
