[ridge]

maybe the best episode ever in any tv show

 

[Spades Of Aces]

I'm already anticipating buying the Ultimate Breaking Bad Bluray set.

I'm right behind you. This is some legendary stuff we're watching here. I've been on the edge of my seat all season. Its so breathtaking as we don't know what will happen next. Only two more episodes left...ah man!

Hopefully they didn't raise the bar too high with this episode. They could have added 10 more minutes of content to tonight's episode and it easily could have passed as the season finale. It's scary to think that there are 2 more episodes left so I hope they don't blow it.

Two eps of Breaking Bad left, and the two biggest lose ends still not tied up.

1. What happened between Walt and Gretchen?
2. Who was Gus, really?

#1 will probably never be revealed on the show.

As far as #2, I explained that a while ago. In season 3, episode 7 (the flash back with the cousins) Tio referred to Gus as "the grand generalissimo" aka "the general". So some sort of military back ground.

In Season 4, Ep 8 the DEA is interrogating Gus about Gale's death. This part is very important for 2 reasons:

1. It establishes that Gus left Chile in 1986.

2. Gus mentions Augusto Pinochet, who was the dictator of Chile in 1986. '86 is the year Reagan and the U.S. government asked Pinochet to step down.

You might wonder "what's the connection?"

Augusto Pinochet was a monster. During his reign thousands of people were killed and tortured. But more to the point he had super labs built that would create color variant versions of common drugs. For example they created a black colored cocaine that was harder for DEA agents to track.

Pinochet 'sold cocaine to Europe and US' | World news | The Guardian

Does that sound familiar? Gus worked for Pinochet until around '86, got the super lab idea from him, hired a chemist (Max) that the cartel killed, and since then he's been trying to get a Pinochet style super lab up and running. Then he meets Gale/Walt and makes it happen, with the blue meth.

Fred.

OMG!!! HELL YES!!! Lol! Give Bryan Cranston the damn Emmy award now! Hell, the whole freaking crew! I loved every second of this episode. Brehs, this is getting better and better....I just loved how Walt just completed the heel turn on Skylar! About damn time. Whew....this show is too much for my heart, lol.

is cranston gonna be nominated this year for last years season 5 and then next year for this season? meaning he could end up with 5 best actor awards?

Foreshadowing?

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

I was worried after the last two episodes that they weren't going to end this right...The previous episode was abysmal but Vince came throuh and crushed buildings tonight with an all time classic...

Walt putting Heisenberg on the phone to spare his wife from any possible implication was pure genius and I could of swore I heard that ether beat when he told Jesse about that hoe Jane...That was that shyt that makes your soul burn slow through several reincarnations...Meth Damon turning that pathetic snitching fakkit into a slave was comedy to...

I can't believe its almost over...
