Breaking Bad on AMC (8 Viewers)

One thing, after watching and re-watching "the scene"...

When they showed the wide shot of everyone toasting, the guy who sat down in the trailer with Gus ("this is not a negotiation") did not drink, which is why Mike had to garrote him. That part was pretty obvious even without going back to confirm it.

But what happened with the bald lead chemist? The guy who was on 24? I don't see him take a shot of the poisonous drink when everyone else did. Then when the hooker is on Jesse's lap, he is seen sitting right behind him. But when everyone starts dropping dead - after Gus comes out of the house - I lose track of him again. If one of you saved this on the DVR, you feel like going back to see if I missed him?

Disregard. Right before Gus comes out of the bathroom, they show him sitting in his chair holding his stomach in pain, so he was obviously poisoned also. He must have already been laid out on the ground by the time Gus reappeared. Carry on.

I just slowed it down on DVR and baldy does drink, and then when he is sitting behind Jessie right when Mike goes in for the strangle, baldy is holding his stomach, but he is still sitting upright. When Gus comes out you can see him now on the ground dead.
 
Well for those of you who thought that Walter was still safe because Jesse could only make 96% pure and Gus was some sort of perfectionist I think the first 10 minutes of tonight's episode proved that to be incorrect!

 
Almost a joke how every single episode can be claimed as better than the last.

And the to try and watch the season premiere of Boardwalk Empire.....

The turns in this episode have left me blank for next season.

And the rollercoaster ride so far this season about who we root for vs. who we root against has been crazy. Just two episodes ago we were against Walt, and for Jesse. Before that, against Jesse, for Jesse, etc... Then there's Hank and his ##### wife...

 
Why doesn't Walt have enough money for the extraction it only costs a quarter million?

He made at least a few million and even with the car wash deal and everything else (the loan to Tim) he should still have plenty of money.

I will concede that 96% pure may be enough now that Gus has managed to eliminate the cartel. I still think that Gus wants the best To me, a lot of that was sort of Jesse coming into his own. He showed amazing confidence in the lab and really took charge; he saved Gus and of all people Mike. And then he even stood up to Gus - "we're going to have a problem".
 
Wow that was intense.

I'm surprised gus gave walt a chance again even though jesse made his request. He knows how big a risk walt is and he knows that you can't fire employees from a business such as his. The only option for gus is for walt and hank to go.

Any chance jesse ends up using the ricin on walt?

I thought this too. Maybe it's just the amount of time. She was keeping cash in the safe in the car wash right?Then again, it's more than $250k. He said $125k per person... so "at least a half a mil" which is what Saul said. I guess it depends if he gets charged for the infant but we know now that Gus will kill his infant child.

Walt has spent the last few years building up an immunity to ricin powder.

Someone needs to go back to the episode when Walt makes his first deposit at the car wash and Skyler does all the math for how much he gets paid.

I think it's more about Walt hanging with Hank. Now you have a choice have the best but deal with Hank/DEA or take a dip in quality and eliminate that problem. Easy choice.

Good point, though not sur eif it's so much about him "hanging out with Hank" as it is that he didn't deal with the situation. Gus made it a point to say how Walt said he was going to handle it.

Also, when is this season over? One more episode?

Would be it crazy if Walt tried to kill Skyler?
Click to expand...
After what happened last episode and his situation, no. I could be wrong and I'm still sticking with he kills his wife since the creator said he will become scarface. God I love this show and will definitely buy the entire set once it's over.
 
Is there any way to watch last night's epsisode online? Like paying at amazon or something? My kid was having trouble going to sleep so I only saw about 15 minutes in the middle. I saw

Sklyar and Saul....Ted dying...Walt and hank wreck...Tyrone coming up with the shock-stick-thingy
kid goes bonkers so I missed the beginning and the end and have no context for what I saw (outside of the Ted stuff). I don't have a DVR.

 
That episode was just.......wow.

When Gus flipped the curtain back in the makeshift hospital you just knew it was going to be a good one.

My only complaint, why did they have to walk the 6 miles?????

The Hector scene was just way too intense.

 
Sep's review

A review of tonight's "Breaking Bad" coming up just as soon as I feel sorry for your tastebuds..."You are done." -Gus"Breaking Bad" was off the air for so long in between seasons 3 and 4 that a great number of TV shows lived out entire lifespans in between. Some were terrible ("Outsourced," "Feces My Dad Says"), some were forgettable ("Undercovers," "The Whole Truth"), and a few were pretty freakin' great. One of those was FX's hard-boiled buddy comedy "Terriers" - and if you didn't see it at the time, I highly, highly endorse downloading the series on iTunes or Amazon (Fox Home Entertainment isn't interested in a DVD release at the moment), and, in the event you do that, I also would strongly suggest skipping ahead to the paragraph after the one-word paragraph - which, among other notable things, made good use of Ted Beneke himself, Christopher Cousins, during the hiatus.Cousins played a wealthy land developer named Robert Lindus who got involved in a variety of shady deals, and who ran afoul of our heroes, low-down private eyes Hank and Britt. Lindus wound up in jail for a while, then asked Hank and Britt to bail him out and help him flee from the real big bads, and along the way his impatience to escape eventually put him square in the path of an oncoming car, and he died very suddenly and very stupidly.I bring this up not only because Ted Beneke died in much the same way (with a hint of Cheddar White Boy Bob in "Out of Sight" and/or any other similarly abrupt black comic klutzy death scene), but because the title of that "Terriers" episode is about the most apt description I can think of for the events of this episode:"Fustercluck."What a complete and utter mess this is.Mike's recuperating in a very white tent inside a Mexican warehouse. Gus is putting on a good front but still recovering slowly from the poison he ingested at Don Eladio's place. Ted got himself killed running away from Saul's goons (with a little help from Chekhov's Throw Rug). Jesse's running the Super Lab on his own, and though he doesn't want Walt dead, he also understandably wants nothing to do with him. Hank is marked for death by Gus, and Walt is planning to blow up his life and run away - except, of course, Skyler has spent the great majority of the money he needs to run away on buying a car wash they no longer need and paying off a dead man's tax bill.This is a disaster of such epic proportions that you can hardly blame Walt for letting his primal screams of anguish turn into maniacal laughter. If he were anyone other than Walter White, this would be kind of hilarious, in a sick and twisted way. And even as Walter White, who's been preparing to die for a long time now, it's the only response left to him. (And that's without either Walt or Skyler knowing that Ted's dead, baby. Ted's dead.) Wow.Vince Gilligan and company(*) seem to be spending this back half of the season playing a game of Can You Top This? with the closing moments of each episode: Hank's monologue at the end of "Problem Dog." The death of Max in the long Spanish-language flashback in "Hermanos." Walt and Jesse's throwdown in "Bug." Gus taking out Don Eladio's entire organization in one fell swoop in "Salud." And now this: Walter White having pulled the ripcord on his own life, only to discover he doesn't have the money to pay for the parachute, and lying amid the filth and light cash reserves of the crawl space, laughing his fool head off while Skyler begins to realize just how bad things have gotten.(*) Here represented by writers Sam Catlin and George Mastras, and by director Scott Winant, best known for his work on HerskoZwick shows like "thirtysomething" and "My So-Called Life," but who directed last season's "Green Light."Ordinarily, TV shows where each episode tries to outdo the one before become unbearable in a hurry (see "Nip/Tuck," or the later seasons of any Ryan Murphy or David E. Kelley show), but here it's all felt of a piece, with the stakes escalating as Walt's world crumbles at the same time that Gus's empire is ascendant. Walt has alienated his wife and his partner, has let his son see him at his lowest, has lost most of the money that he got in business with Gus Fring for in the first place, and now he's just hung a very large "Please Kill Me" sign over his head at the moment when he has no way out.And while we all know that Walt will get out of this somehow, because he's got 18 episodes to go after this one, in the moment the show and its cast and crew do such an exceptional job of making us forget about that. Bryan Cranston is so anguished and regretful and terrified as Walt goes to see Saul, and then goes sprinting to pack up his life in an hour, that suddenly it doesn't matter what I know objectively as a TV viewer: what Walt knows is that he's going to be dead in a hurry if he doesn't get that cash in a hurry, and his performance is so powerful and frayed that that becomes all that I'm aware of as well.Running out of superlatives about the back half of this season. All I can say is that I can't wait to see what comes next.Some other thoughts:• Loved the teaser and its glimpse of the special mobile emergency room Gus set up for himself, Mike and Jesse, just in case. (And the fact that there was blood on hand for Jesse should put to rest, once and for all, any speculation that Mike was about to kill Jesse when he got shut. It looked to me then, and seems very clear now, that he was just reacting to the gunman's approach, and couldn't fire in time.)• Is there a special Emmy category for Best Silent Performance? Because Mark Margolis as Tio Hector in this one - damn. That's not just silent: that's showing a wide swath of grief and rage while restricted to a very limited range of expression. Great character, great performance. And the sick genius of it is, Gus has no need to kill Hector. If anything, that would be a kindness, where instead he can live him as a prisoner of his own body, knowing that all his friends, family and allies have been killed by the Chicken Man.• Note also that Tio is watching the famous "What have I done?" climactic moment from "The Bridge on the River Kwai." That's a sentiment that more or less applies to Walter White - who's also obsessed with making the best possible product for the worst possible reasons - for the life of this series. Wonder if there's foreshadowing, and that Walt may wind up blowing up Gus's house, the laundromat, or some other part of the empire.• Interesting to see that Jesse has finally forgiven himself enough to have Andrea and her son over for video games and snacks. I also like that Jesse can draw a line between understandably despising Mr. White and wanting nothing to do with him, and wanting Gus to kill the guy. Our man has grown and changed, but not that much.• Boy, Hank is smart. So smart it may get him killed, but he keeps being three steps ahead of Walt, Gus, Tyrus, everybody.• I can't say I'm exactly mourning Beneke. What a smug, hypocritical, insufferable sleaze that guy was. And if he'd just sat and watched cable with Huell and the red-headed guy, he'd still be alive, well, and not on a road to jail.• Also, what's up with the two goons wearing Marie's beloved purple in Saul's office?• I want to see a Tumblr that's nothing but screencaps of Walt's Aztek getting into fender-benders.• I don't know if the cloud passing overhead in the middle of the Gus/Walt desert scene was a total accident, or if Winant and Michael Slovis saw it coming and set up the shot accordingly, but man, did that look cool.What did everybody else think?

he doesn't have the money, I think Skylar said he makes $7 million a year or there abouts, he hasn't worked a full year

$1MM for car wash

$600k for Bernake

$250k for Hanks bills (ball parking here)

$100k on other miscellaneous (this is probably low)

=====

$1.75MM - he might have another $250k under the house / in safe at car wash, like he said, not enough

Hank's only way out is to kill his brother-in-law, I assume he quickly makes another ricin pill, pays him a visit and puts it in his coffee or something.

what I thought was interesting about that scene is that it was sunny while Gus was telling Walt that he was fired. then when Walt realized that Jesse wouldn't let Gus kill him, it got cloudy. then when Gus told Walt that he would kill Hank, Skyler, Junior, and Holly, it became sunny again.the weather was mimicking Gus's mindset at the time. sunny and in control, cloudy and full of doubt, and then sunny and in control again.
