Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[frogwoman]

that bit where she was reciting poisoning methods to the therapist

 

[Jon-of-arc]

Hank showed himself as a bit of a cunt, in his willingness to exploit Jesse. The "that murdering junkie dribbling on my floor back there" was particularly telling. As much as Walt, he's losing sight of everything that's important in his single minded pursuit of his goals. Zero empathy. He was the same with skyler, and managed to fuck up a situation he could have turned very much to his advantage. He's seemed more likeable in previous series.

I'm hoping for a bad ending for everyone.

STFU. I want pinkman dead. And Walt to get away with it.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Marie was fantastic in this episode.

"Will this hurt Walt?"

"Yes"

"I'm staying. I'll heat up a lasagne"

 

[frogwoman]

STFU. I want pinkman dead. And Walt to get away with it.

why do you want him dead?

 

[frogwoman]

i thought hank was a bit of a cunt in the episode as well. I think he is that angry at Walt that he's not really thinking about what he's saying, taking down walt has become a bit of an all consuming obsession for him.

 

[xslavearcx]

yeah it kinda sucks that hanks lost his moral compass a bit

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

But that's kinda the point of the show. People finding out just where their line is and what it takes to get them to cross it.

 

[frogwoman]

when is walt jr going to find out? it will fuckin destroy him as he worships walt.

 

[xslavearcx]

when is walt jr going to find out? it will fuckin destroy him as he worships walt.

i reckon hes gonna go full blown support of hank and marie. he always kinda looked up to hank in a way he didnt look up to his dad - saw him more as a 'real man' and admired the way he was going out to get the 'bad guys'... also him calling himself 'flynn' and his propensity to blame his mum for everything (often thanks to walts manipulations) i think will draw him to hank and marie when it all gets revealed to him...

 

[frogwoman]

skylenberg tho proper calling for blood. that shocked me a bit.

seems that walt has kinda run outta steam at key moments and shes the one thats gonna take em over the finish line..

 

[frogwoman]

Can't wait to see the next one.

 

[xslavearcx]

how many left are there?

 

[frogwoman]

i think 4? It doesnt feel like that, feel like there's still loads to go. I wonder what's going to happen in the next one.

 

[xslavearcx]

seems like there is a real danger of it getting rushed to a conclusion here. although vince gillingam and all the actors seems to be pretty satisfied with the ending according to interviews done

 

[madamv]

I could smell petrol the whole way through that episode

 

[xslavearcx]

it was good to see him back to the kinda lame shit excuses with that like the way he was in early season 1

 

[madamv]

He never talks so much as when hes (badly) lying

to be honest i'm glad they're not making a 6th season as I don't want it to be shit.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Yeah, Just 4 to go and I can't quite see how we get to the machine gun.

Still, will be fun finding out

 

[Smyz]

seems that walt has kinda run outta steam at key moments and shes the one thats gonna take em over the finish line..

I think the point is that Skyler makes the same choice as Walt did with Emilio, Krazy8, Tuco, Gus and Mike's guys. He killed for self preservation and now that she's faced with the same choice she's making the same decision. Walt can't make that decision so easily when it is someone he cares about.

It's the first time Skyler's character has made sense to me.

skylenberg tho proper calling for blood. that shocked me a bit.

But it fits so perfectly with the whole pont of the show - every fucker will break bad if its for the 'right' reason. And, from what she knows, she's right. Jesse is just some junkie no mark to her, so considering what else has gone on, and if it is protecting her family... Of course we know that it is making Walt cross (another) line, but how should she know that?

Pretty much the same with Hank. A 'good guy' who'll fuck over anyone to get Walt. Tho in his case he should know that his actions are fucking himself over too - it could be seen as if he is trying to get Jesse out of the way as cover for him being their boss.

I hope Jesse's plan is about more than just hitting the money, especially as I doubt he was calm enough to spot the lottery ticket and make the connection.

 

[Smyz]

Hank has never had any respect for "junkies" and dealers, that hasn't changed.

His "breaking bad" decision is to make it complicated instead of going straight to the DEA like Marie told him to. He's taking it personally.

No. He was a sensible cop who knew when to fuck someone and when to play nicely. It's not about respect, it's about good long(ish) term planning. Now he's just out to fuck the people who fucked him.

 

[Ted Striker]

that was the best episode ever.

I didn't think so tbh. Just didn't click with me. No nail biting scenes, few super lol's, pretty one dimensional plot threads, skipped Jessies confession, and Hank bringing Gomez in (which would have been a good scene).

Not complaining, nor was it bad, just had IMO 3 really endearing episodes, and didn't 'click' personally with this one.

Either way, seems bonkers that in 3(ish) episodes time Walt will have all his stuff stockpiled and will be buying an m16 (or whatever it was!)

 

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, I'm with Ted.
How dare they not show Hank telling Gomez?

 

[belboid]

Cos it'd be boring.

"Gomez, you gotta come and be a witness to this confession. I've got Pinkman at my house, he's willing to explain everything. Why is he at my house? Well, you'll understand when you hear what he has to say."
