Breaking Bad on AMC (4 Viewers)

[honky kong]

at Walter seeing Mike in the next parking space as hank asks him to put the bug on Gus' car.

I thought that was great but ultimately that was one of those scenes. Hank is supposed to be this crack detective who catches all sorts of minor details that everyone else has missed and he doesn't notice a guy pull up in a car next to them? Walt looked at Mike more than once with Hank staring at Walt and Hank doesn't catch that Walt saw something that threw him off?

It was a public parking lot. Why would he care if someone else pulled into the lot?Mike has no significance to Hank, but he does to Walt. Meanwhile, Walt is freaking out and just the presence of someone else scares him, but this fits into what Hank normally thinks of Walt - spineless, cowardly, nervous. Hank has no reason right now to suspect anything out of the ordinary with Walt, and to think he's nervous for any other reason than he's being asked to do illegal police work.

Caring is one thing, not even noticing is another and I'd argue that anytime someone is engaged in a secretive activity in public, they generally want to know who's watching them do it. And why would he care? Oh, maybe because he believes Gus is a drug kingpin and those guys generally have henchmen that could be anywhere at any given moment. Hank just assumes that anyone around there is insignificant?Whether Mike has any significance to Hank or not is irrelevant. It's Walt's actions that are relevant - it isn't difficult to tell when something catches someone's eye when you're looking right at them and I'm guessing it is even easier when you are trained to do it. I don't know about you, but the first thing I do when I notice something like that is to look and see what they are looking at. It doesn't fit.

I couldn't possibly disagree more. Hank is supposed to be a good cop, not Medium or some crap like that. It's one thing to take the show to task for being unrealistic- a criticism I usually think is wrong, but at least it makes sense. You seem to be taking the show to task for not being as unrealistic as a CBS crime procedural. A guy pulled in to a parking lot near Hank and Walt's car. A high school science teacher, already totally freaked out at being asked to participate in surveillance for a high level narcotics investigation, gets a little more freaked out when there's an unknown third party nearby. It fits perfectly fine. In fact I'd think it was kind of silly if Hank had noticed Walt acting strange towards Mike in particular- a man Hank has never seen and has no reason to believe is involved in any way with any of this- as opposed to just being freaked out about what he was being asked to do.

I guess we're gonna have to disagree then. Knowing that someone pulled up next to you doesn't take supernatural powers, just an awareness of your surroundings, and I would think Hank's would be heightened at that time.

I think you're confusing noticing a car pulling up next to you with giving a #### about a car pulling up next to you. You don't know if Hank noticed or not, because you're not in the head of a fictional character. And whether he noticed the car's existence wasn't at all important to the story, so the writer and director didn't bother to tell us about it. All we know is that he didn't give a ####, which seems completely reasonable and expected. You haven't given a decent explanation why he should.

You don't think doing something you don't want someone to see you do is reason enough to care who is around? If that alone isn't a decent explanation as to why he should care, I don't know what is. If he did, in fact, notice Mike, he probably noticed that Mike pulled up to a restaurant and didn't bother getting out of the car, but instead started reading the paper. Could he have been waiting on someone? Sure. If you were a DEA agent doing what you were doing (on your own, mind you, with no agency backing) and saw someone do that, would you be sure enough in that possibility that you'd go ahead and go through with it, given that you're dealing with a person you believe to be one of the biggest drug dealers in the Southwest?But you're right - we're talking about a fictional character and I've already gone further with it than I cared to. That scene worked for you. That's great. I thought it was a little hard to swallow but it didn't take away from what I thought was a great episode.

My only disagreement with this would be that Hank and Walter weren't doing anything other than sitting in a car talking when Mike pulled up. We don't know whether Hank was watching Mike or anyone else, or for that matter if Mike was even still in the parking lot, during the two short periods of time that Walt was "doing something you don't want someone to see you do."

Holy crap you are pathetic.

This is easily the stupidest, most petty discussion to date.

Congrats.

Just started watching last night. I have a somewhat delicate question that I will attempt to phrase PG13.

At the beginning of S1E2 when Walt surprises his wife in bed, do you think he went for third input?

Yeah, this is the show where two assassins decide to take out a guy in broad daylight in a Home Depot parking lot. It's also the show where Walt just happens to run into the girlfriend's dad the ONE time he decides to go into a bar. They bend reality every now and then.

Oh yeah...that shirt Jesse was wearing when Walt comes over to the house was the ugliest shirt I've ever seen. And considering the overall horror that is Jesse's wardrobe that's saying something.

What did the text say and whats the significance? How did walt know to look at his phone? Does this mean Jesse's house is bugged?

The text said meeting was cancelled because the boss was busy. Significance is that Walt may think Jesse was lying about not seeing Gus (which he was). Walt looked because the phone buzzed.

Could Jesse tell that the message was opened earlier?

I thought of this too, but I think most non-FBGs are not that observant

Depends on the phone setting but since Walt only had to open the phone to see the message, he didn't technically open anything so there is a chance everything would remain unchanged.

I did too -- though I was more distracted by the fact that Jesse was throwing parties in part because he does not know what to do with his money (and has both a fancy TV and stereo system), but still has a phone from 2003.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

I am really disappointed with the AV Clubs review of this show. They rated last nights episode a B+, thats insane, last nights episode was an A+ and at worst an A.

It was great but I thought the previous week was better.

me too...that being said, both were friggin' good TV

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

what I was curious about is why wouldn't Jesse just say something like he did see Gus, but didn't get close enough to him because of all the armed guards?

Hard to imagine her hemmorroids, likely, during pregnancy have fully healed. Preparation H?

 

[Daywalker]

what I was curious about is why wouldn't Jesse just say something like he did see Gus, but didn't get close enough to him because of all the armed guards?

He's afraid to do it. Putting it off. It's a tough job and he doesn't want to hear Walt's BS.

I suppose so, but every phone I have ever had, if you open message and view it, it marks it as "read" and 1 of 2 things would have happened: 1) it would leave the message open but clear the "new message" notification, or 2) clear the notification and close the message (if it had been this one, Jesse would have known Walt had read the message bc the notification would be gone)trivial point that matters not, just talking it out

I don't think Walt cares if Jesse knows he read it. Walt wasn't that subtle.

OK after thinking this thing over. How about this? Jesse goes to the bathroom and then sends himself a text message from another phone just to test Walt (to see if he will open it).

[biggamer3]

Text was most likely Mike cancelling a meeting with Gus. Jesse's house has to be bugged. I can't believe Walt was that stupid. Some #### is about to go down. Mike probably saved Walt's whole family's asses with that phone call. Time to focus on the cartel for a bit. This should be fun.

Next episode is titled "Bug"Knowing this show though, they always mislead us with show titles

"I did have one piece of Morganite that was very special."

 

[corpcow]

at Walter seeing Mike in the next parking space as hank asks him to put the bug on Gus' car.

I thought that was great but ultimately that was one of those scenes. Hank is supposed to be this crack detective who catches all sorts of minor details that everyone else has missed and he doesn't notice a guy pull up in a car next to them? Walt looked at Mike more than once with Hank staring at Walt and Hank doesn't catch that Walt saw something that threw him off?

It was a public parking lot. Why would he care if someone else pulled into the lot?Mike has no significance to Hank, but he does to Walt. Meanwhile, Walt is freaking out and just the presence of someone else scares him, but this fits into what Hank normally thinks of Walt - spineless, cowardly, nervous. Hank has no reason right now to suspect anything out of the ordinary with Walt, and to think he's nervous for any other reason than he's being asked to do illegal police work.

Caring is one thing, not even noticing is another and I'd argue that anytime someone is engaged in a secretive activity in public, they generally want to know who's watching them do it. And why would he care? Oh, maybe because he believes Gus is a drug kingpin and those guys generally have henchmen that could be anywhere at any given moment. Hank just assumes that anyone around there is insignificant?Whether Mike has any significance to Hank or not is irrelevant. It's Walt's actions that are relevant - it isn't difficult to tell when something catches someone's eye when you're looking right at them and I'm guessing it is even easier when you are trained to do it. I don't know about you, but the first thing I do when I notice something like that is to look and see what they are looking at. It doesn't fit.

I didn't think it was a big deal. It wasn't like the place was vacant, and Mike on the surface isn't someone you would normally fear.

 

[Raider Nation]

Has anybody ever seen Dean Norris (Hank) in anything else? He seems perfectly suited to play a goofball.

I can't picture him playing, say, a scholar. Interestingly, he actually graduated from Harvard. Class of '85.

 

[Sundays Rule]

I'm confused as to who tipped off Hank. Gus?

 

[NewlyRetired]

Hi, I am a first time watcher of Breaking Bad. In the run up to the current season, AMC reran the entire series which I DVRed.

I watched the pilot today and noticed that the swears were edited out. Is this something that just happened in the repeats or were the shows always edited?

Not sure I am going to enjoy them edited like this. Might need to get the DVDs.

Sorry if the question has been asked, I did not want to read in case of spoilers.

^ I don't remember any censoring during the first-run episodes, but it's been awhile.

Are they censoring B$#%^? If not, there isn't enough of the other words for the censoring to get in the way. Just get watching. ...and if you start posting in the beer thread, I'm going to think you're stalking me

Hi, I am a first time watcher of Breaking Bad. In the run up to the current season, AMC reran the entire series which I DVRed. I watched the pilot today and noticed that the swears were edited out. Is this something that just happened in the repeats or were the shows always edited? Not sure I am going to enjoy them edited like this. Might need to get the DVDs.

You are safe, I don't drink I just checked, my local library has the dvd's, I will borrow from there. I liked the pilot a lot outside of the editing.

Has anybody ever seen Dean Norris (Hank) in anything else? He seems perfectly suited to play a goofball.I can't picture him playing, say, a scholar. Interestingly, he actually graduated from Harvard. Class of '85.

I was watching Little Miss Sunshine the other day and noticed Crantson then Norris. It was shot in the ABQ, btw.

I think I posted this early on in the thread but I was watching an old episode of Six Feet Under and he played almost the same character in a one-off role - a wise cracking detective/cop. Almost the exact same look and schtick.
