This dude Vince Gilligan had me thinking I was watching the X-Games for a second. Had me wondering what Tony Hawk, Bob Burnquist and Lupe Fiasco were doing hitting ollies and kick flips at my boy Walt's crib. What happened to Walter's house, doe?:why: shyt looked like a crack house straight out of New Vegas, my dudes. Was expecting a fiend to stumble out of one of those rooms and offer to suck Walt's dikk for a couple dollars. @hexagram23 , you better check your girl, Carol, breh:comeon: shyt was sweet when my man Heisenberg was sitting on his own personal Fort Knox, but he hits a rough patch, trades in the Gallardo for the rusty sedan, the Armani for the dingy shirt covered in barbecue sauce (or he earled on it), and this bytch wants to act brand new spilling citrus fruits on the pavement? I guess when the money goes, the honeys don't stay:wow: This nikka Hank had to be backed up like a motherfukker to still be taking a shyt since the finale last September. How you just gonna go to your brother in law's house, destroy the terlet and not flush? :aicmon: If I was Walt, Id be suspicious the second I saw that Lincoln log looking like Wesley Snipes' forearm just chilling in the bowl. That dude Hank left so many vital nutrients in that toilet bowl he was out of it on the drive home causing havoc on the streets like Brandy in her prime. Skylar's a goon now? She straight told Lydia to kick rocks:camby: Thankfully she didn't get the deluxe wash with the car detailing. They could have atleast let her get the whip dried off, doe. They didn't even give her a refund or a 50% off coupon on the next wash:damn: This dude Hank with the 80's musical montage, figuring everything out within strict time constraints. Surprised dude wasn't chasing chickens or putting the beats on a frozen rack of ribs too.

Jesse believed Walt about Mike being alive about as much as Ellie believed Joel from the Last of Us. As annoying as Jesse is sometimes, I have to salute dude for feeding the hood like that. Leaving a stack on nikkas doorsteps instead of giving out turkeys at Thanksgiving. That bum's funna OD on some good shyt at Heisenberg's crib with all that money he's got to blow:youngsabo:


Need a full write up like this from you for the rest of the season :heh:

I thought this was a good episode, but I'm not going crazy over it like some dudes are. I saw this coming with the whole splitting the last season into two parts thing. The show already feels like it's rushing things. So Jesse feels this way about getting rid of the money but he sits on it for a month and conveniently wants to get rid of it around the same time that Hank finds out about Walt which happens around the same time Lydia wants Walt to get back into the game? The timing stuff isn't a huge deal, but I definitely noticed that all of this shyt is hitting Walt in a day or two span nearly a month after he left the game.

My real gripe though is with how Walt is handling finding out that Hank knows. I understand Hank reacting the way he did when Walt confronted him. He's just now finding out what Walt is. All of the shyt he's been through all these years was Walt's doing. He's been lying to him all this time. I understand and appreciate Hank reacting that way when Walt confronted him with the tracker. I just have a serious problem with the thought that Walt would confront him with the tracker in the first place. Walt knows that Hank knows...so instead of being the intelligent person who used his brain and looked for ways around things like he always has, he just walks up to Hank and essentially says "I know you're tracking me?":dwillhuh: I've been siting here trying to figure out why Walt would do that, but I can't figure it out. Fine he knows he's a dead man soon...what about his family? Skyler has been a part of this from nearly the beginning. Walt can't go to jail, but Skyler can easily. That whole exchange was just so out of character for Walt, imo.

That said, the scene was so good it lifted my overall opinion of the episode:manny:

Fred/Hex posted a good piece that addressed this stuff the other day. Vince has admitted that some things on the show happen out of a convenience to the plot/need for them to happen. The show is grounded in realism, but in a way that other shows based in reality can't do, Breaking Bad pulls this off...where things happen with perfect timing in service to the overall structure.

Some of it is more glaring than others. In season 5 episode "Fifty One" they made a joke about "A lot happens in a year!" or something to that effect. In reality there's no way all of this show could have happened in a little over a year, but people accept a little bit of leeway with a show like this.

I chalk the timing up to "Hey this needs to happen, so that's why it is." The writing is so on point, the show is so well acted, that it's not the same as when Dexter does it for example. there it feels lazy. On Breaking Bad there's a level of surreal and overarching structure that seems to go beyond the boundaries of a hyper-realistic storytelling structure.

I worded that badly, but maybe Fred has the article.

But I understand what you're saying.

Its Kind Of Annoying How Easily Walt Manipulates Jesse, Granted I Know That This Will Eventually Come To A Head And Jesse Will See The Light

When Hank Turned Around And Took The Tracking Device Out Of His Pocket I Was Like ... "They're Doing This NOW!? :gladbron:"

Then When Hank Closed The Garage Door I Was Like "Oh...shyt..." :lupe:

Same here. I simply thought that Walt was going to gauge Hank's temperament by coming and talk to him to see if Hank is acting weird at all. Then when he stopped and decided to ask about it I was in "oh shyt" mode. Once Hank punched him I was up on my feet going crazy.

I just don't think there is any more reasoning with anyone. It's either they all die or they all die. Hank just doesn't seem like the type to lie down even if he knows he's family is at risk. You heard him he doesn't a give a shyt about family at this point. To me Walt died a long time a go and we're only dealing with Heisenberg whether anyone notices or not. He is always lying and manipulating everyone just to further his own agenda. Maybe that's why Badger was talking about the whole dying and coming back shyt.

Still can't believe what the final 2 episodes are going to look like in the flash forward.

Sunday, September 15th is when it all comes falling down. Ozymandias. We're going to see a crumbling of epic proportions.

It's going to be very interesting to see how they show us 2 hours of Walt looking like a homeless Rambo. What characters will be left for those last 2 hours? New enemies, old enemies, both? I'm glad they got the ball rolling. We only have 4 more episodes until shyt really really hits the fan.

I can't wait, but will be sad to see it end.

I hope Heisenberg puts one in Hank like he did the dealer after running him over. Or plugs Marie with one right in front of Hank

I need to see full Heisenberg mode! And I mean straight menacing, how dare you try and chase me! Me! Type of Heisenberg.
