I hated it when they split season 5 years a part but now that its almost here, Premieres this Sunday, I couldn't me more excited! Move over Dexter, Breaking Bad is my number 1 priority now. ****s about to get real! Hope Hank flushed! Whats in store for W.W./Heisenberg/Mr. Lambert!?
I just started BB. I'm part way through the second season. Solid show so far. It has a very BBC feel to me. I like how so far there's no loose ends. Many shows have something happen as the main or secondary issue of an episode and it gets resolved and never comes up again. This show, so far, doesn't suffer from that. My only 2 real complaints is that there are no interesting women on the show and Jesse sometimes has this weird speech impediment where he adds a sharp "shh" to ends of words when he's angry.
Also, first part of season 5 is on netflix now. Wife and I will re-watch this week to freshen up. That feeling as they panned out Spoiler with hank on the toilet realizing its Walter the entire time is indescribable! I can't wait till Sunday.
I actually rewatched the first season of 5 too. And noticed in either the first or second episode of the season when Walt is moving his stuff back in the house, he takes the book out of a box, looks at it and throws it behind the toilet with other magazines, etc. Such a small little detail that was done that ends up being a huge moment later one, much like the plant in Season 4. Just such great writing and attention to small details.
dont worry, you'll grow to hate Hank's wife here shortly. PS: Have you started watching Suits and Rake yet? If Rake isn't up your alley I don't know what is (as far as shows go I mean).
[video=youtube;ovlK-WXJ-pQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ovlK-WXJ-pQ[/video] Can't wait to watch the GOAT tonight. Final 8 episodes are going to be epic. Sad to see it end.
Pay closer attention. The beginnings of it w him at the carwash w Lydia. He has Gus' status and a lot of his personality traits.
wow that ending. THAT ENDING! I love it, went right to the meat and potatoes. I am glad we don't have to wait 5 episodes before Walt realizes Hank knows. Thats one thing I love about this show. We didn't have to wait until the final season for Skyler to find out the truth about walt, they had her find out quick! They don't drag things out like shows like Dexter does. Its going to be a fun ride!
funny you say that Slick. I just read something about Walt picking up mannerisms from his victims throughout the series. Potential spoiler inclosed. Spoiler
It's not a "spoiler" really. It's a series of observations about Walter that may turn out to reveal a plot point.
Yea I don't think it's really a spoiler to say that his family will be dead or gone in some capacity. Sure seems that way.
Also I see Walt as Gus too. The scene in the car wash where he tells Lydia to have a A1 Day is like when Walt came to Gus and gus wanted nothing to do with him
Aaron Paul's twitter: Aaron Paul @aaronpaul_8 15h “@BarackObama: Breaking Bad *****!!!” It's that time Mr. President. lol. edit: About the star trek monologue from Badger. Possible foreshadowing that Walt is Chekov (SP?) and in the future, tries to "win" using a trick (Ricin) and ends up killing himself by mistake? Walter outsmarts himself? Then again... cancer is back, so... That already gives him a death sentence, right? I have a gut feeling that the writers were telling us something there. Maybe my idea is far too simplistic, and i don't know **** about Star Trek. Don't even know who the Russian character is... But that trek eppie idea is going to mean something.
Anyone else find it ridiculous that Hank took the evidence from the bathroom, which almost certainly would have tipped off Walt that Hank was on to him? After the initial shock of how stupid Hank was, I realized that this fit his profile - As much as I love Hank, he is disabled by his emotions, and making an emotional decision to take evidence due to overwhelming anger and shock fits in to his narrative... You would think that with smartphones and other technology he could have taken snapshots of the evidence, walked out calmly and started playing Walt's game. Even when Walt went to his garage, poor Hank couldn't even look at him - Or talk coherently. I'm part of the Hank fan club but his inability to control his emotions will lead to his death in the next few episodes. And I will be upset when that happens.
Anyone else notice the lawyer told Walt the kid had left "5 million dollars" when really he had left 6.1 million dollars?
It's an interesting observation. And Lydia seems to be following Walt's trajectory of getting deeper and deeper into the drug game. She seems frazzled and out of place right now, but maybe we'll see her develop into a stone cold killer?
Couple of things, first this episode was great. Just when you think they will stretch the Hank/Walt thing out a few episode they hit you with it right away. I thought for sure the episode was going to end with the garage door closing leading to the conversation in the next episode but bravo to the writers for giving us that instead of the tease into next week. I guess it makes sense they get it right out of the way because there are only 7 episodes left and we need to jump almost a year forward to find out what the heck Walt is up too soon. Regarding Lydia, she's now a series regular along with Todd so we'll be seeing them again. I still have no clue where this series is going to go. I think we may not get the obvious either way I'm really enjoying the ride. I love how tense even Walt going back into his empty house was followed by him saying hi to his neighbor and her freaking out. I thought it was interesting that Walt said hi and didn't seem to be too concerned she saw him.
I have a feeling he fakes his death. He has hair, and told Hank he has 6 months left. Its clearly a year later when he arrives back to his abandoned/condemnd home. He may of lost everything. Who knows. And why the gun? Jesse coming to kill? Hank?!!?!?? Cant wait to find out!!! edit: episode 1 of season 5, when hes at Dennys, he gets the gun the guy says "i have your word this wont be leaving over the bordr?" Walt says "its not even leaving this town" Scarface ending? Everyone dies? He goes out guns blazing? Intense!
That's the big question, why does he need the protection? Who is he planning on using it on? I doubt he fakes his death though, I actually believe him when he says he's been given 6 months to live. The one thing that's been consistent to Walt's character from the first episode to this past one is he's all about his family. I can't see him faking his death and being away from them. Especially after he tried so hard to get them back and keep them together even during the whole Gus thing when they could have been in big danger. They have certainly hinted at the Scarface ending, even had Walt and Walt Jr. watching it last season and even had some former actors from that movie in the series. I still think that ending would be too obvious for this show.
The wife and I hated her from the first episode. She's not a strong character at all. To me right now she is plot device. As was Jesse's girlfriend who ODed. I'm in to Season 3 right now. i hope an interesting female character comes along soon...its not a deal breaker though if one doesn't. I have not tried those yet. We tend to obsess over a show if its good and binge watch it...so we are on the BB train right now.
Faking his death isnt 100% meaning hes leaving his family, remember in season 4 while Saul was in the crawl space he mentioned he knows a guy that can erase everything, his families names, socials everything, and give them a new start but it was like 250k a person or some **** like that. Keep that in mind too. My thing is, why is he back at his house, not worrying about being seen, and driving mikes car? (isnt that mikes car?).....almost like hes not affraid to be back. Its all sooooo crazy!!! haha
