Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

Loved all the references to earlier seasons throughout that episode, brilliant again.

The book also had Gale's initials in it and was addressed to "my other WW" (or something similar), so it does matter - and as has been discussed on here already, there's the question of whether Hank really knew already but was unable to admit it to himself as he couldn't understand Walt as a person doing something like that.

The check up imo was a reference to the scene somewhere in s1 or 2 where Walt's cancer is clear and he goes into that toilet and hits the paper towel dispenser that you see with damage in this episode - somewhere earlier in this thread I said that when he does that there's a shot with a particular look on walt's face where something changed for him and cooking meth wasn't about him dying anymore but was about something else. I think the checkup scene was a reference to that rather than hinting his cancer is back, though you could be right, don't think we should assume it - there were lots and lots of references to earlier episodes and series in this one.
I think that when he saw that he had more money than could be counted, that was when he changed. He wanted to be worth more than grey matter and seeing that huge pile of money did that for him.

I really thought they were going to end this episode with everything seemingly wrapped up and the cliffhanger being completely about how the second half of this season pans out.. now we know that it's going to be Hank trying to prove Walt is the cook..
 
hmmm, final episode downloaded.....should I watch it now or got to work? dilemmas dilemmas...

I got a ton of stuff to do today. I couldn't start any of it till I saw this episode first.

So how long till the second half of the series again?
 
He always knew, deep down, just needed something to hit him in the face so the blinkers could come off.

No other way the (half) series could end.
 
Why the hell would he keep it there like that? I am disappoint

Yeah, after five series of evading the DEA, cartels and everyone else out to get him he leaves a clue where full-of-shit Hank is likely to see it.

Crap (sic) end to the series.
 
Really? Makes sense to me - bear in mind how when Hank though Gale was Heisenberg, Walt just had to correct him and stir shit up because he couldn't bear someone else taking credit, how he wouldn't take Mike's advice just towards the end. Didn't he see the book a few episodes ago, chuckle to himself about it, and then throw it back in the pile?

Walt isn't some criminal mastermind that always gets things right. He fucks up A LOT. Makes perfect sense to me that he'd leave the book lying round as a memento, not even thinking about how it could connect him to Gale.

Maybe I've just become an action junkie and I like to see Lydia smile. It just had an anti-climatic feel to the ending.
 
I know nothing about Breaking Bad, but apparently Aaron Paul (aka Jesse Pinkman from 'Breaking Bad') was filming in Brixton yesterday.

Nice, i'd seen on twitter that he said he was in London. You should watch BB btw, it's good :)

You have to admit though, it's a hell of a cliffhanger. We've been waiting for 5 series for Hank to find out, and now he knows.
 
I stand by what I said a few pages back - this is now Hanks breaking bad moment, will he bring down Walt (and the familly with him) or will he choose to cover him?
 
I think the book was a cheap plot device, Walt is willing to take risks but leaving that book with the note in it just doesn't seem believable.

I think Hank is just going to go for Walter all out. No mental debate from him at all.

I think its just his style, as Metal Malcolm says above
 
Tbf guys, it was hardly the least predictable of all outcomes :p The program could never come to an end without the Hank issue being resolved.
 
I agree, I think Hank will go for Walt now. He'll be furious at being deceived and having potentially put his career at risk.
 
Yeah, I'm sure Hank will go for Walt, though the DEA will take some convincing I'm sure, especially if Walt has actually stopped.
I think the book was a bit odd tbh, my memory is that Walt has always been very meticulous about clearing up clues and I'm surprised he kept the book after Gale's death, but perhaps a rewatch of the earlier series will change my mind on that.
