Breaking Bad (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

[zora]

The darkest bit for me in a pretty dark episode was Hank and Gomez being dragged in the grave that Walt had dug.

RIP Hank, you were one of my favourite characters and I hate to see you go.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Walt didn't dig the grave, he was still in handcuffs when Hank was dragged away but yeah that bit was dark.

 

[neonwilderness]

I thought it was the hole from where's they'd dug up the barrels?

 

[belboid]

it was. Which Walt had originally dug. So is it the same hole or a whole new hole?

you never got that kinda philosophical question in The Wire

 

[madamv]

I do wonder if he comes back for the ricin for the nazis to free Jessie and announce its quits. Then, he and Skylar and their kids head off into the sunset with their new identities.

I noticed the purple orchid between Marie and Skylar when they were having their chat. Marie was in nearly black the purple of her clothes was so dark. I wonder if the purple orchid showed that she is heading back to her lilac phase, all stupid and dim. Maybe the loss of Hank makes her give up.

I also noticed how Walt was wearing his beigest beige... He lost control of that situation so he was back in wishy washy colours.

By digging that patch earlier, you could say he laid the groundwork for what was to come...

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Oh yeah of course, they buried them and fucked off with the money didn't they? Yeah proper dark then, Walt actually dug Hank and Gomey' graves!

There was an interview with the actor who plays Saul Goodman on NPR just over a month ago, he obviously likes the character he plays and almost everyone who watches the programme does too so I don't know what your problem is

I like his turns of phrase, his vocabulary and verbosity reminds me a bit of Boyd Crowder in Justified, probably one of my favourite characters in a TV series. I'm quite excited for Call Saul! Has potential to be much better than Breaking Bad IMO

Hello. Welcome. What a pleasure it is to have you. Just gonna call you Skyler if that's okay. It's a lovely name. It reminds me of the big, beautiful sky. Walter always told me how lucky he was, prior to recent unfortunate events. Clearly his taste in women is the same as his taste in lawyers: only the very best with just the right amount of dirty.

I love Saul.

pot/kettle! you could try not being such an insulting arse yourself, y'know. Especially when you follow it with a comment like:


which just shows tht by just bothering with the 'gist' you actually miss massive chunks. Like the fact that the house isn't derelict, it isn't destroyed or wrecked. Its just empty, like someone moved out. And there's some graffiti.

If you just wanna get the gist of it, well...Walt gets cancer, cooks up meth, it all gets a bit heavy, and then everyone dies. That about covers it.

Except it is derelict. The swimming pool is in a state, the kitchen is in a state and it's been cordoned off. Looks
like its been neglected for a long time

Not really. They need a wash and a sweep up is all. I've been in a fuck sight worse student houses, and they weren't derelict.

The roof did need a fair bit of moss removing, and there's a carpet pulled up in the kitchen/entrance bit, but the pool was absolutely fine.Sorry, but you have made me watch that bit about five times now! I'm bloody well right.

And it cant have been left that long, cos its Walt's 52nd birthday, and Holly is 18 months old in the episode we just saw.

The pool was empty and the diving board was ripped out

Spoiler

Anyone else think at the end when Walt was being so horrible to Skyler that he was giving her an alibi / way out knowing the cops were listening? He was clearly having a terrible time saying those things but knew they needed to be said to save his family, I think.

This. This is exactly what I thought as it was happening. I also watch that "Talking Bad" companion show, and I cannot beleive that none of them thought this, the idea was floated but got shot down.

Spoiler

I think he may have snatched the baby in the heat of the moment but even then he could of done that to ensure the police would take it as seriously and almost guarantee they would be listening in.

 

[belboid]

The pool was empty and the diving board was ripped out

of course the pools empty, what kind of idiot would leave an empty house with a filled pool? Its dangerous and would get full of shit that would be a bastard to clean. The diving board has been removed, quite carefully from the look of it. Certainly not 'ripped out.'

It's an empty house. Empty ≠ derelict

 

[FaradayCaged]

I read this article which may shed light on that flashforward. About Walt inheriting traits from people he killed.

Ever since he killed Crazy 8 in season one we see him cut the crusts off his sandwiches. Also when Walt and mike are in the bar when Walt floats the idea of killing Gus, they have whiskey and mike has his on the rocks and Walt doesn't, then after he kills mike he has a drink with hank and he has his with rocks. I think there may have been another one but I forgot, but anyway, we see that it is a tradition that Skyler makes Walts age out in bacon on his birthday and in the flash forward we see Walt do it. I think its a long shot and he could of just done it because he misses her, but if it is true I don't think Walt kills her or if he does it is an accident.

Nerdy teacher gets cancer, then starts cooking meth and growing balls the size of space hoppers.

 

[D'wards]

Could be a new Gale situation, if Jesse can somehow overpower and kill Todd, then he's the only one who knows the cook, bitch

They've got $69 million, I think Todd's the only one worried about keeping cooking.....

 

[FaradayCaged]

Is that the first time anyone said fuck in BB? Can't remember but there's a lack of swearing.

Its not the first apparently, but its very rare about once a season or so Chris Hardwick (Talking Bad) said. Even then they have to quieten the sound for it. Only fuck and cunt are quite rare in popular prime time american tv series, the others especially bitch and piss are quite common.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Yeah I've found the lack of swearing allowed by the network extremely odd, yet they have no truck with showing footage of people being dissolved in acid, children shooting dead and themselves being shot dead, crushing people with cash machines, gassing, child neglect, deprivation from drug addiction, a severed human head on a tortoise, strangulation with a D-lock, turning a disabled bloke into a bomb to blow someone's face off, drug overdose, drug manufacture, poisoning, savage beatings, countless shootings, prostitution to feed drug addiction (do point out any I've missed) but no, no cunts or fucks uttered in this series thank you we want to keep it clean

And only cos he fancies Lydia.

Didn't Walt give Skyler one up the arris in the pilot too?

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Didn't Walt give Skyler one up the arris in the pilot too?

Yep and I believe a hand shandy was administered too.

 

[madamv]

Of all that's stuff, none was actually seen. Its all inferred

 

[Orang Utan]

Well they weren't ever going to show it going in

 

[D'wards]

Yeah, i think an inferred bumming is still probably stronger than a "fuck" when someone is about to be shot dead, and they know it

 

[Fez909]

Was it a bumming? I never realised that.

 

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, i think an inferred bumming is still probably stronger than a "fuck" when someone is about to be shot dead, and they know it

Was it an implied bumming too?

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Of all that's stuff, none was actually seen. Its all inferred

Not all of it. You did see Crazy 8 strangled, the kid shot by Todd, Combo getting shot, gristle from Crazy 8's mate falling through the ceiling, the back of scary cartel man's head blown out, you did actually see Fring's face all mangled, you saw the severed head 'Hola DEA' etc etc.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Haha I dunno why but I just thought of this bit:



That arms dealer says one of my favourite lines in the show 'schooz, shred ya momma's head like a cabbage.' It's more his face and the way he says it than the line itself

 

[xslavearcx]

it was. Which Walt had originally dug. So is it the same hole or a whole new hole?

you never got that kinda philosophical question in The Wire

absoultly. the wire would just spend its time analysising why the underspend of the DEAs budget for this financial year was prevented by getting spent on pens or something
