Am I just being impatient, or are things really crawling along?
the pace is fairly slow this season but things look to be coming to a head for the next week. i find myself getting a little impatient with the skyler parts.
the gale video was perfect tragic-comedy with walt's phony/real confession.
what was the deal with the russian gangster shoot-out at the beginning? were those the same russians gus had sent to kill the mexican cartel leaders?

Where those dudes Russians? I assume that they were agents of the Mexican Cartel that has been probing Gus' weaknesses since he went independent (see the chemical supply warehouse Mike retakes at the end of last season). I didn't catch what language they were speaking, but even if they aren't Mexican, I'm sure the Cartel is rich enough to hire talent from around the world. Or maybe Gus' enemies hail from somewhere other than Mexico.
the episode this past weekend was really great. the travel montages with jesse and mike were awesome, and it was fast paced (in comparison) with lots of development and a great final shot.
i am having more and more trouble getting past walts disregard for everything. i mean your brother in law is on your case, you help him close the case, then go out of your way to push him to reopen it. i get that he is trying to get his "crime boss" on, but no true crime boss would fuck up that perfect situation...

I don't think it has anything to do with getting his crime boss on, it has to do with his pride and ego being his downfall in all his dealings. He wants recognition, something that he never got with Gray Matter, even though it is the last thing a criminal should want. He is proud of his product, and doesn't want the credit to go to his subordinate.

you've swayed me, but walt is on my nerves either way.
I really liked the beginning of the last eps. With Walt kinda losing his shit driving around.
AMC needed to lock down Breaking Bad. There has been a lot of bad press lately dealing with AMC management and the creators of BB,MM & TWD. Hope they sort all this shit out.
My sister let me know that BB was renewed for another 16 eps to wrap up the series. That makes me think some major characters are going to die soon a la Sopranos season 6 :cryface:
That last episode was great. Walt's ego will be is his downfall
yeah gus playing both of them was incredible
if the above info is accurate i guess that's good in a way because they're definitely going to run out of shit to work with. excited to see where the rest of the season goes
Anybody think, even for a second, that mike was going to pull Gus out of the trunk an bury him at their first pickup? Obviously that's not how things are swinging. Mike is a loyal employee, but for a second I thought Gus might be in the trunk. As evidenced, you cant fuck with Gus though.
It kind of seemed like mike was shook when victor was killed but that hasn't broken any ties.
yeah but he HAD a dude and jesse is NOT him
i really wonder if it's a jesse rehabilitation plan or a twisted jesse will play the hero but end up inadvertently getting shot when both he and walt fear for their life or the lab is ''attacked''
the pollos poster will get hank calling gus which will see hank's life take a turn for the (even) worse
This was a let down. it was expected, and perhaps long overdue, that something would trigger Hank's motiivation to get back on the case. But the Pollos menu? I have a stash of menus that get mailed to me sitting in a drawer in my kitchen. This was hardly a clue.
really hope they don't stretch those 16 over two years but yeah....
There's no way AMC will air all 16 as a continuous season, they were talking about cutting back the per season order anyway, so it seems likely that it will be two 8 show seasons.
Ending dates are usually good for shows, even when the finales don't live up to expectation. Most shows either end before their time or linger long after their period of relevance.
"Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? Even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly-up, disappears. It ceases to exist without me! No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!"

Cue randomly any 30 seconds...

Character-R but almost a parody at this point.

a great episode, but i thought it ended fairly flat.

Walt is delusional. This only confirms my belief that his ego will be his downfall. He is slipping bigtime because of his pride, first with blathering to Hank about Gayle being a pupil and now this

just re-watched, they are speaking spanish...

also, looks like AMC has given the show an end date (a la lost). any thoughts on whether this is good or bad? this article has an interesting discussion on the topic: http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/08/15/breaking-bad-end-date/

I just need more Saul - badger & skinny pete....that is the best set of characters on TV

like dude definitely puts in work but he probably ain't getting that cook money right?
his car is a POS but its probably just a work vehicle.

How many of them have handwritten phonenumbers on them?
Edit: Actually, I saw it wrong. Handwritten Serial numbers
