I liked SKANK crushing her man's skull with an ATM.Gus straightening his tie was mine followed closely by keys, scumbag for me.Keys, scumbag was a pretty good line.I don't know about "favorite moment" but finding that Walter had poisoned the child was the biggest moment for me. One nice advantage to watching all the seasons at once is I don't have to wait months at a time. That was the season finale, and I would have just assumed it would be a huge part of the next season -- making sure Jesse didn't found out. Instead, it's been swept under the rug, but I have to imagine it will come up again before the series is over, right?That was my most shocked moment, so maybe seeing him finally kill Gus was my favorite. That was obviously the same episode, which means those five minutes were about as awesome as TV gets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
inca911 27 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 First two episodes of this half season haven't moved the storyline much. We already knew Hank figured things out at the end of the last half season, and Jessie had already checked out. We learned a little about the meth business since then, but it feels like we've spent two full episodes on what is fairly obvious:Stonewall the cops, hide the money. Completely expected that would happen with Walt and Sky reliant on keeping the money to save their family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Officer Pete Malloy 19,151 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The one thing, aside from the obvious, that I want them to clear up in the last episodes is what happened between Walt, Gretchen, and Wayne Kirkby? Why did he leave GreyMatter? Is there something in that storyline that might explain (more) about why he 'broke bad'?That would be the worst possible direction for the show to take at this point. You can't be added some last minute justification/explanation. That might ruin everything that came before it. If they wanted to provide more background on Grey Matter they would have done so by now."The worst"? OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jefferson the Caregiver 928 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I wasn't crazy about the shortened season last year but this one isn't starting that great either IMO.My biggest problem is that I really believed Hank would have had more of a dilemma before turning on Walt. I wasn't expecting this rapid transformation against him like we are seeing so far.Even getting past that, Marie was idiotic last night trying to take the baby. I just didn't buy that one at all. I mean Marie is an idiot but something about that scene didn't seem right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maelstrom 136 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Under The Dome? You'll last two and a half episodes. 1.5 in so far and still interested. Did King's book suck or did this adaptation suck? I enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book but absolutely hated the ending. I watched 3 (maybe 4?) episodes of Under the Dome so far, but the rest are piling up on my DVR. I'll get back to it sometime, but it kinda lost me somewhere around episode 3 or 4. Don't really know exactly why, probably just people doing dumb things (like the "crazy" cop scene, if you've seen it, you know which one I mean). I'm the first to suspend disbelief, and I'll probably still watch it, but no urgency to get back to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psychopav 1,133 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 My boss mentioned a detail I missed - the house appears to have been seized by the City of Abq and not the DEA. Not sure if it would say DEA if they did it or "federal govt" or whatever, but I thought that was intereting. Just watched it. WW also has a full head of hair in the flash forward--not something you'd expect on a cancer victim. Totally normal for someone who's given up hope of a cure and quit the chemo.again, I dont think we can assume hes given up hope.Yeah, I still think most all options are still in play.Maybe he's in remission with a lingering cough (I'd assume that's normal given what his lungs had gone through over the previous 2+ years).I also assume Walt can afford a good wig and fake beard, which would make sense for a man with a new identity.When the cancer went into remission the first time he was coughing up blood. Coughing and regrowing his hair are red herrings - they could signify either impending death or remission so aren't worth speculating about imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"The worst"? OK. I thought this was pretty well covered awhile back, no? He left her, she hooked up with Elliot and Walt couldn't swallow his pride and work with them. Other than the reason why Walt left Gretchen (I think they mentioned a cabin weekend or something), what's left to say on that one?

I know building a drug empire is time-consuming, but take five minutes and wash the grime off that front door already. And get some proper lighting up in that joint - always so dark all the time. Looks like my nasty Aunt's house that none of us wanted to visit when we were kids. I'm surprised they don't own cats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bob Magaw 2,525 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 just started this last night, due to strong rec in the netflix instant thread...hooked in first three minutes... watched first two episodes, going to try and catch up before series ends...may be redundant, but there was recent crossover myth busters (at least partly avail at discovery site?) about the chemistry on the show... I think one part covered the acid in the bath tub scene from second episode...what a great series, lead talented actor, forgot he was seinfeld's dentist...the frequent black humor was unexpected but a pleasant surprise in what otherwise could have been pretty heavy and oppressive subject matter, they strike a great balance...reportedly 6 million people watched final season part two premier two sundays ago, something like twice as many as any previous season finale... sounds like upcoming finale might be most anticipated since sopranos?* the opening hooks/teasers are among the best of their kind I've ever seen, the creator and writing team supposedly pay a lot of attention and spend a lot of time on that aspect of each weekly show...

Uwe Blab 822 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Kind of getting the feeling that the writers let Skyler choose to remain doing the illegal thing so that they can have her be killed before the finale. Takes a little edge off the darkness of that if the audience feels she made the "wrong" choice. This show has always been about choices and the consequences. No matter what you think of her that is going to be a tough episode. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
