Hank's line - "You're the smartest guy I've ever met. But you're too stupid to realize that he made his decision 10 minutes ago."

Tremendous.

You are nuts.

First of all, of course Hank was Clint Eastwood-ish. That's ALL he was. That was a perfet way for him to go out

As far as Walt, I dont think anything he did in this episode should turn you. I mean if you were still with him, you still should be. He gave the baby back and he tried to absolve Skylar with that phone call.

How is a kitchen knife fight cheesy? Its realisitic.


Great episode. Best of the series and one of the best episodes in the history of television.

I think you missed what they were trying to convey. Him kidnapping the baby absolves Skyler and Walt Jr. from pretty much everything Walt did. A two bit lawyer could easily spin that she was coerced by a crazy and violent Walt and was forced to go along with everything in fear that she or her son would end up like Hank. Walt's very smart, he knew there was cops on that line, that's why he went at her so hard on that phone call.

He did it to protect his family.

"We are a family" -Walt


Best show ever made doesn't even begin to do it justice anymore. I think it's moved up to number 4 on best things in life:
1)Blowjob
2) Sex
3)Steak Dinner
4)Breaking Bad?

I thought it was a great episode. How many are left, just two? I plan on watching it again this week
and really digesting each scene.

So the Nazi uncle was brought in to be the last minute villian so Walt can go out as a quasi hero?

I can dig it.

Maybe the last thing he does is free Jesse

As mentioned... this is an example of you not understanding the point of Walt's phone call. You didn't understand the episode at all.

Pretend Walt spoke in all capital letters, Bovifs. Does the call make sense now?

First, there's no way that Dean Norris ad-libbed that line. I haven't heard the Insider podcast yet but I'll almost guarantee that Gilligan will be geeking out about how they came up with that line. Plus, it's a perfect encapsulation of how Hank sees Walt and always has. To him, and he's right, Walt has been this incredibly smart guy but also socially inept with no ability to read people. He's the anti-Hank and here Hank has to witness it one last time before he dies. It was great.

Also, Todd putting Jesse in the cage is a great callback to Todd just staring at the spider in the jar that he took off the kid. I never quite understood Todd's fascination with that but now it makes total sense.

If you're Todd's Uncle and Gang isnt it time to retire with like 12 million a piece?

Why still cook? I mean greed, yeah, but im not sure these Nazis are thinking everything through

Plus they just killed two cops

They should go to Czechoslovakia

Exactly what I said. Guess it's out of greed and the pressure from Lydia's buyers to produce meth.

I think the nazis start fighting over the money and shoot out each other.

Jessie escapes

All the nazis are dead except Todd. Who would have thouight that Landry could become this huge evil criminal mastermind?

Still think Walt escapes too. Perhaps leave an opening for a movie, a la 24

Yup, that's what I said last week. Walt will find & free Jesse.

As far as Walt knows, Jesse is dead.

Something has to happen next week to lead Walt to go after Jack and company.

_________________

I'm guessing Walt somehow sees his patented product back on the street and that lets him know that the nazis didn't live up to their end of the bargain. Walt can't let that slide.

_________________

Next week's episode is called, "Granite State" which is New Hampshire. Don't remember episode 1 from last season, but I assume Walt's drivers license was from New Hampshire, right?

Not sure how he would find out about the blue being back on the streets if he's all the way up in New Hampshire, but maybe he just gets the ID and never makes it to the actual state? Either way, he's coming back home, getting a big scarface gun and getting ready to go off some nazis and Jesse.

I don't see any scenario where he lets Jesse go, not now that he blames Jesse for getting Hank killed and ruining Walt's life with his family. Also, Jesse is a rat and rat's gotta go.

Saul has no connection to Todd and Jack right?

Didn't Saul help arrange the cooking under the exterminator tents? I would think Saul knows the Nazi crew.

He's gonna be sitting there in NH thinking about how he lost his family and 70 million


He's coming back for his true love.....the money


Who is the Ricin for?

I think you're right.

That said, do you think Jack and Todd would let on that Jesse was still alive?

_________________

Yeah, he's coming back to get the Nazi crew. He'll run into Jesse there and that showdown will be the end of the series.

Or, we can revisit Jesse's words about whatever you expect to happen, the opposite will happen. I'm done predicting. Gilligan is too damn smart.

I really thought Junior was getting killed last night during the scrum between Walt and Skylar.

_________________

I believe it was "the exact reverse opposite of that is going to happen". There has been some great dialogue this season.

I do think you are right though. I think that was a signal of what might be to come.

Apparently they get one per year.

Dean Norris said he was glad he got it this year.

Then he would've killed Skylar.

I like how it actually played out better though.
