I must have missed this in the episode I missed, but who ordered the Mexicans to kill Hank? Or did they do it of their own accord.

They were pushing to kill Walt. Pollos gave them Hank to keep them satiated. He told them Hank was the one who actually pulled the trigger on Tuco.

So who tipped off hank? If it was the bagman, then he (or saul) have some motivation to keep Hank alive against Gus's wishes.....ANd why didn't Gus just take care of all the Mexicans ahead of time instead of letting them make a move on Hank, which would only serve to fire up the DEA?

I don't think Gus wanted Hank dead. He wanted Walt kept alive and the cousins out of his hair. I'm pretty sure either Gus tipped off Hank or someone did it by his orders. Also I think he wanted the DEA fired up at the Mexicans because they would push the Mexican Federales into actually taking some action.

I was positive that Gus brought the chemist in to help walt so he could learn walt`s cooking recipes...so at some point they wouldn't need Walt anymore and off him...so when Gus approved Jesse i was thrown off...but thats whats so great about this show...unpredictability

Gus wants the DEA all fired up about the cartel. Right now Gus has his own operation in action. He has Walt cooking for him and can distribute all he wants and doesnt have to be tied to the cartel if he doesnt want to. In essence, the DEA will take out his competition making him the only game in town without him so much as lifting a finger.

Did you guys know this? He's annoying ON PURPOSE!

In 2006 RJ Mitte was cast as Walt White Jr., a series regular, and character with Cerebral Palsy on AMC Network's Breaking Bad. And though Mitte has a mild case of cp, he had to do what all actors do, research the character, and even relearn many of the challenges he had endured as a child in order to convey a more pronounced version of cp.

I'm still pissed Hank's wife wasn't in the car with him.

I would drive by his "office" at least once a week going to my accountant that's in the area. All I could think of driving by was how bad I wanted to stop by.

I also went to middle school with the bag man. His name is Jeremiah, its good to see him working on this show.

Loved that reggae remake of Shimmy Shimmy Ya by Ol Dirty ******* that they played in the last ep. I think it was when Jesse was screwing around in the lab. Wu-Tang, for the children:

Or maybe he turns out to actually be a DEA agent in part of an elaborate sting operation. His only slip-up is when he didn't realize Hank was suspended and didn't have his gun in the ambush.

That's not really a slip up since he gave the brothers his blessing before Hank beat down Jessie. It was simply bad luck.

I dont think so -- remember Tio made reference to "the chicken man from south america" in that flashback -- based on the phone he was using and the age of the killers as little boys, that had to have been 20-ish years ago. that's one hell of an assignment for an undercover agent.

The bar I used to frequent at the time would actually turn off the jukebox for the hour that show was on every Friday night. We'd all sit around the bar watching.

Finally watched Sunday's episode. They've done a great job of painting him as a very "non-cartel boss" type of guy, but now we see he really does have some badass in him.A question I have after the episode ending, do you think it was actually the federalis that raided the house, or a hit squad? Just from what I see in the real world news sometimes, it doesn't seem like the Federalis do much of anything with the cartels, let alone raid a cartel guy's house - seems out of character for them in the show.Loved the scene with walt fixing the wobbly table in the waiting room. I thought that was hilarious and perfect for the character.

Me too. That's one of the great things about this show, the little "character nuances" like that.

Is Season 3 the best one yet? For some reason, I'm getting that Wire (Season 3/4) feeling that we're watching something special.

Jesse's Yo's and #####es (female dogs)

Any sympathy I might have had for Jessie up until now has just been completely erased.

How is Marie going to pay those bills without some sort of plausible explanation of where the money is coming from? SaveHankTheHero.com?

[ScottyFargo]

Good episode. Skylar's explanation for his $$$ was great. Building him up at the same time emasculating him further for having a problem. And Walt's bragging that he's good for 7 figures from gambling is classic bravado. Love this series.

 

[Major]

Pimping the blue meth at the AA meeting :(

:( Curious how Gus will handle this. Being a business man, he must appreciate Jesse's word of mouth/street marketing strategy but skimming off the top from Walt's special blend is probably not the best way to appease the chicken man. This is not going to end well for Jesse and his crew

 

[wildbill]

I wondered the same thing. I thought for sure Walt would go to the chicken man and work out a deal where Pollos would pay Hank's bills, since it has already been established that they support local law enforcement. The money would have actually come out of Walt's cut from the next delivery. But then Skylar had to open her big mouth.

 

[boofatty]

The health care costs shtick felt a bit preachy to me, but at least it fit with the storyline.

I'm kinda getting tired of pinkman's obsession with screwing up a good thing. Guy is a doosh but it makes good tv.

So...I thought all those nail salons and strip mall chinese restaurants were fronts for trafficking human slaves from asian countries; I wonder which crime pays better? Why not do both?

 

[Abraham]

Love the turn signal and Walt's expressions while Skylar was talking about how he got the money. He looked like he was just as interested in hearing how he got the money as Marie.

It isn't going to take long for Saul to realize that he has competition, even a little, for his prized Blue meth. Considering he just managed to set the DEA and the Mexican drug cartel against each other without firing a single shot, I imagine this is going to end very badly for Jessie.

Tonight...

 

[Sebowski]

I think last week's "slow" episode is the start of a HUGE #### storm. Marie is less trustworthy than Jessie, Saul, and Badger put together. Skylar should have let Marie go to the press. It was actually a good idea that could have worked.

Jesse has to go. Should be interesting to see how he is handled. I think it is pretty clear they need to off him at some point.

Love Saul trying to trick Jesse into buying the nail salon. He never invited Walt to the meeting. Just said all that as part of his ruse.

I'm really tempted to click on that spoiler box, but I am holding out. I'll be able to watch on Sunday for the first time in awhile.

I see Hank getting caught not being good at counting cards somehow. Like now Marie or evetually Hank will ask him a math/counting type question and he messes it up.

One of my best friends' boy friend works on the show. Builds props and whatnot. Turns out they have two axes they used on the show and she got one of them and is going to give it to her brother as a wedding gift next month. Lucky *******.
