Breaking Bad Season 5

[Powers]

This show is my favorite drama on television right now and I am stoked about the last season :tu

Any other meth-heads out there? :banger

[PuffPuffGive1]

I've followed the series ever since it started back in 2008...back when Walt actually had cancer and was making meth for a "good" purpose =P. It sucks that they're in their final season, but it's also good that Vince Gilligan doesn't drag it on where the story dilutes.

[Bill86]

This is the last season? I guess I can understand that, stop it before it gets ridiculous and too redundant.

I'll be watching the premiere tomorrow for sure.

[BlkDrew]

I am so far behind.... damn netflix

[PuffPuffGive1]

When I grow up, I want to be like Walter White. Look for me in the news in the coming years!

[AECUSN]

I was invited to a special preview tonight. I had some other stuff come up though...

[ucla695]

I love this show! I was able to catch up when AMC ran their nightly marathons this month! :banger

[BlindedByScience]

Just started watching it thanks to NetFlix...pretty compelling stuff. We're through season one, about through with season two. Gritty, interesting TV.

....got to do something to pass the time before Sons Of Anarchy starts up again....:tu

[Powers]

MAGNETS! :tu

[Pseudosacred]

The first episode of Season 5 was amazing. It foreshadowed what is going to be happening later in the season. In the beginning where Walt is eating at the diner and makes his bacon into the #52, he isn't wearing a wedding ring. The show then picks up on his 50th birthday. This is why, I think, that it is THE best tv drama that has ever been aired. Such brilliant acting, writing and even subject matter. A cancer stricken chemistry teacher that works on the side at a car wash and starts cooking meth due to financial problems. Who would even think of that? Before the first season aired, I was super skeptical of this and thought it would flop. Polar opposite. I'm hooked on this show and I hope to God Brian Cranston wins some sort of roll for his amazing acting.

Also...Skylar is a total milf :tu

[Steelerfanatic]

Just finished up watching three seasons on Netflix and the first episode of season 5 on amctv. The best show on tv with the exception of Shameless

[Sumatra Samurai]

Best show on television, first 2 episodes rocked! This show has progressively gotten better every season.

[TJarv]

I'm finally caught up. Love this show

[Powers]

About to watch the latest episode.

Here's a couple awesome GIFs I came across:

Here's a couple awesome GIFs I came across:


Haha those are awesome, what is that 2nd one? Have you seen this? http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6701398/breaking-bad-rpg

[CRIMPS]

Best written show on TV. Walt is becoming more evil by the day. I love how he leaks the affair, then starts nonchalantly eating an apple. Brilliant.

[gbum]

love the show... cant wait what walt's next step....

[Powers]

Haha those are awesome, what is that 2nd one? Have you seen this? http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6701398/breaking-bad-rpg

I hadn't seen that video before, hilarious :r

The second GIF is Bryan Cranston switched as Jesse and Aaron Paul as Walter

[Powers]

Another great episode. The symbolism and depth of the show is fabulous!

My guess is that Skyler and Walt's conflict escalates and he kills her but makes it look like a suicide. Nothing would complete Walt's transformation to a dark character than to kill a member of his family, who were his original motivation for cooking meth.

[Sauer Grapes]

This season has started off strongly. So far I don't think it's quite as good as the previous seasons, but it's still absolutely fantastic.

This was the first season of anything I purchased on iTunes since we don't have cable anymore and I couldn't wait for the DVD.

[PuffPuffGive1]

Walt: "waiting for what?"
Sky: "for the cancer to come back..."

That line gave me the chills....can only anticipate what's going to happen in the end!

Best show on television right now......hands down.

[newcigarz]

:eek:

[Gophernut]

:eek:

Oh my goodness. This is getting nuts!

[Steelerfanatic]

Can't believe the kid got shot. The new guy is definitely going to get whacked for that. What a way to end an episode.

[Gophernut]

I don't normally get actually bummed out watching a tv show, but that really got to me. Todd is a goner.

Great episode! I'm not so sure they'll kill Tod for shooting the kid, I think they were going to do it anyway to tie up loose ends. But I wouldn't be surprised if they don't kill Tod either. You never know with this show!

[stevefrench]

I think Todd is part of Mike's crew and was put there to keep an eye on Walt and Jesse.

[Powers]

Great episode Sunday. The scene w/Jesse eating dinnner w/Walt and Skyler was awesome

Found this funny parody of it:

http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/2f7a14bbb1/breaking-bad-spin-off-series?playlist=featured_videos

[irratebass]

Me and the wifey have been watching this since the end of July and have only taken a 10 day hiatus when she was out of town......amazing show, we just finished episode 5 of Season 5....so we are almost caught up.

Agreed, best writing on television, right up there with The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire.

The scene where Skylar was going off on Walt was some great acting.

Couldn't believe they killed they kid.

[PuffPuffGive1]

I really wish the break between the halfs wasn't a year long >=(...can't wait to see Walt mow people down with that M60 he bought at the beginning of the season.

That was hilarious! I'm so bummed there's only 2 left, though the good thing about a split season is - 2 openers, 2 finales!

[irratebass]

Ok I'm all caught up now......wow, Jesse's face and reaction at the dinner table after Skylar's remark was hilarious!

So really only 2 episodes then a hiatus then done? I thought they signed up for 1 more and even a possible season after that???

[Skywalker]

I finished Season 4 two days ago and began to catch up on Season 5 (on iTunes)! I finished Dead Freight tonight! I'm enjoying Season 5 a lot so far!:tu:tu

From what I understand it is pretty definite that they will spilt the final season into two parts. Similar to The Sopranos

Man that sucks, but I guess end it when it's still good and not have aliens come down and hijack Jesse or some sh!t

[themoneycollector]

Add me as another fan of this show. I started watching this and the show Lost and well Lost got canned for me by like the 4th episode - it was one of those shows that goes nowhere and tells you nothing just to get your hooked on watching the next show, thinking you'll get answers, but you get nothing. Then I switched over to Breaking Bad, and this is one incredible show.

Well almost, the first few episodes of seeing walt in his undies while he had cancer and was going through an emotional ordeal dragged on a bit for like 3-4 episodes, but it picks up quickly and was non-stop afterwards. Great acting, great story, non-predictable, unique, it's great!

I hate skyler. She is a total nag and cheating #*@!@ and her persistence and shortsightedness to use walt's money just drives me nuts. Walt needs to handle her if he's going to be the bossman.

[Powers]

No spoilers for those that haven't seen it yet but :O !

[PuffPuffGive1]

No spoilers for those that haven't seen it yet but :O !

Yes, I totally agree!! Last night's episode is a sure sign of things to come....maybe it'll come to all the main characters??

[themoneycollector]

Just watched the 7th episode. Great as usual.

[Skywalker]

Just watched the 7th episode. Great as usual.

:tu:tu

[GreekGodX]

I'm waiting for Skyler to get killed too. She is such a nag. Mr. White is handling business as usual for this season :)

[PuffPuffGive1]

Da da dum! He knows!

[Gophernut]

Saw an online review with the headline of "Info Dump". Pretty accurate!

[irratebass]

Grrrr......now we have to wait....sigh

[drevim]

Grrrr......now we have to wait....sigh


Roughly 9 months....I was pained when I heard them say "back next summer", but at least it's not the Sopranos 2+ years.




Damn optimism....:D

[PuffPuffGive1]

Do you guys think Walt will try to deny on the whole 'WW' thing; like everything in the past? Or accept it and deal with Hank accordingly?

[newcigarz]

Not looking forward to the downfall of Walter White.

[CRIMPS]

What an incredible ending... I can't wait for the last 8? episodes.

[Skywalker]

Do you guys think Walt will try to deny on the whole 'WW' thing; like everything in the past? Or accept it and deal with Hank accordingly?

I think Hank has learned some valuable lessons along the way. He will probably get all his ducks in a row before coming down on Walt. He's has to figure out a way to arrest Walt without appearing to be a douchebag to the rest of the family.:2

[Powers]

Great last episode!

I think Hank has learned some valuable lessons along the way. He will probably get all his ducks in a row before coming down on Walt. He's has to figure out a way to arrest Walt without appearing to be a douchebag to the rest of the family.:2

This makes sense, very plausable. Although I can't see Walt getting arrested as the end of him. I think he'll go up in flames along with nearly everyone he cares about. I took a lot of significance out of how casually he was watching Scarface earlier and said "everyone dies in this movie", plus I can't wait to see him use that giant gun he took out of his trunk in the prelude to the first episode of the season.

But if there is one thing for certain about this show, it's that you can't predict it!

[TJarv]

The ending was such a tease

I can't wait for the ending of the empire

[Robulous78]

SOOO Glad to find this Thread on here... I have been a Breaking Bad fan for years now... !!!

I loved the last few episodes... I'll list my top 5 highlights below...

5) I loved the insincere Smile Gomez gave to the lawyer when he was caught storing the money... "hey".... lol

4) I loved when Jesse was trying to talk Walt out of the business and we find out that walt's brain child, grey-matter, is a multi-billion dollar company, now we know why he continues to do it... "I'm in the empire business"

3) I loved the magnet vs. laptop episode.... Wonder if this has ever been attempted or succeeded in real life? "YEAH *****, MAGNETS!"

2) I loved the fact they brought back "Old Joe" the salvage yard owner, something about that actor or how the writers write his character just speaks to me, I liked how he mentioned "Miller time" and when Mike when on with his grumpy attitude he said PMA, Positive metal Attitude, totally cracked me up.

1) I love the face Hank makes on the shitter as he reads the W.W. dedication in the book, I wonder how hard Dean Norris had to work to make that "holy **** its right infront of me face" considering as the actor he knew what walt was up to all along...

Anyone else care to share their favorite Breaking bad Moments thus far? I'm sure we are in for a hell of a show come Summer 2013 :( :)

[Robulous78]

Do you guys think Walt will try to deny on the whole 'WW' thing; like everything in the past? Or accept it and deal with Hank accordingly?

I think Hank will either confront Walter and Walt will say something to the extent that to do that would be to destroy himself, he will tell Hank that all his med bills were paid for by drug money and to expose Walt would be to expose himself, or Hank will start investigating and find this out and will be caught in the same situation.

My question is, once Walt knows that Hank knows, will Walt try to take Hank out himself? we still don't know who that Riacin is going to kill...

You're right, Hank is in this as much as anyone else. He may have had blinders on, but he benefited from the drug money.

Walt could take Hank out any time he wants! Hell he bugged his office!

[Powers]

This is a really well down video about the progression of Walt since season 1:

Breaking Bad meets The Andy Griffith Show:

:tu

[iaMkcK]

I started watching Breaking Bad right around when the 5th season premiered. I watched pretty much every damn season on Netflix in less than 2 weeks, and started to get sad as a I realized this was the final season. Can't wait for the rest of the episodes to start airing! I need to finish catching up on Mad Men as well, come to think of it. Damn AMC.

[OLS]

ALWAYS late to the party, I just finished the short season 1, and have gotten to the point of our heroes
being in the trunk of the Capn-mobile in season 2. Not as good to me as Game of Thrones was or even
some of the other serials, but this is a great show just for the way that such 'scumbags' can be so heroic.
Or at least in the literary sense. Obviously as a dope smoker, I never thought of drug dealers the way
most people do, but to see them as the 'heroes' in the teleplay is quite a kick. And yet they are still the
people in the show you pull for.

Unique show and well worth my time. Of course now that the other kind of scumbag, the illegal downloader,
has been thwarted at nearly every turn, I guess I will either miss the seasons to come or pay for em.....dammit.

[OLS]

I know this is season three and all, but I am way behind....I just broke out in one of the biggest laughs I have
had in months, Jess is trying to get Walt to cook before his batch loses it's efficacy, and he is talking about a possum
in the attic...he said, "when did it become an O-possum? You know when I was coming up, it was just a possum...What's
with Opossum, I mean, it sounds like its IRISH or something..." I haven't laughted that loud in a while.

[Bluetick]

Sundance Channel starts Breaking Bad seasons 1-4 starting tonight (March 4th). Two episodes every Monday Night.

[Stevez]

My son kept telling me to watch this show and I finally did and am hooked and now sad that it's almost over. I pretty quickly got through the first 4 seasons. Any recommendation on where I can get the first half of season 5 to watch? It's not on Netflix yet and I'm dying to watch them. thanks. Steve

[Robulous78]

I could give you a crash course in the wonderful world of torrent files if ya like Steve...

[Robulous78]

or... you could send me a jump drive and I'll load them and send them back for a fiver or something...

[Stevez]

LOL. Sad to admit that I don't even know what you said! But, I would appreciate the course anyway.

To everyone still sitting on pins and needles for over a year now...

the final half of season 5 is set to release in 20 Days from today... :banger: That's August 11th... Check your local listings...

BREAKING BAD COUNTDOWN (http://jamesturner.im/breaking-bad/)

Bet on it being CRAZY!!!

[ucla695]

I can't wait! I recently watched the first four seasons again. All I can say is season 4 is one of the best I've seen in any TV series.

[Sumatra Samurai]

Can not wait!! It's just too bad they ripped us off with two "half seasons", make us wait over a year, it could've just been 2 regular seasons!

[Stevez]

Interesting interview with Bryan Cranston in GQ magazine this month. He is on the cover and it was an interesting article about his career, his character and his experience working on this hit show for the last six years. Steve

[FUEL]

"You know who I am, Say my name. Say my name."

"Heisenberg?"

"Your G-Damn right."

[OLS]

I read that article from a link from Yahew, thought it was great, his entire being is
perfect for the acting biz. Unafraid of any situation that the director calls for.
If you aren't THAT, then give up the biz. You wanna direct, go direct...you wanna
act, then be ready to give anything. Bryan Cranston has never shorted anyone onscreen.

[Robulous78]

14 Days.... :wo :wo

[Robulous78]

5 Day Bump... to all you slow a$$es trying to catch up... :lr :wo

[Robulous78]

3 Days to go... Yea... I'll admit... I'm excited... :lr

[gbum]

Can't wait! I marathon the whole season twice!

[xerais]

I cant wait for tonight... been a long wait. Excited for Boardwalk too.

[TJarv]

Is Boardwalk tonight too?

[RepoGenetic]

AMC Marathon starting in 30, so stoked. It's bittersweet this is the beginning of the end, but what a run it's been. :banger

[OLS]

Tonight is Season 5 Episode 9?

[GWN]

Don't watch a lot of TV but just finished Season 1 last night. Man, I got a long way to go. Looks like it's getting good.

[RepoGenetic]

Don't watch a lot of TV but just finished Season 1 last night. Man, I got a long way to go. Looks like it's getting good.

I promise whatever time you invest will be paid back to you in full.

Last night was epic. These last 7 episodes are going to be amazing.

[ironchefscott]

Looks like it is setting up for a crazy end of this season.

[Buckeye Jack]

I watched the latest episode last night via iTunes. It was the first episode in the entire series I was able to watch caught up......Wow, just wow....I was so pissed when I remembered I couldn't just watch the next one!!!

[stearns]

i've always been a "watch after the season's over" guy so I can binge like a highschool senior, but for these last 8 I gotta do it live. sunday's was epic :tu

[RobR1205]

Tread lightly....

[Robulous78]

Tread lightly....

Anyone watch Talking Bad?

What do you think will be done with the M60? The Ricin?

Discuss :banger:

[RobR1205]

It's odd that the first episode of season five starts off at his 52nd birthday, but in real time, Walt is just turning 51. So, season five must take place over the course of an entire year. Episode 9 honestly left me with more questions than answers. The broken down and abandoned house, the ricin, the m60, and the fake ID, the surprised neighbor....

I'm going crazy just thinking about all the possibilities. I am routing strongly against Hank though. Now that he knows, I'm dying to see what plan Walt cooks up to cover himself, or if he just gets up and leaves Albaquerque.

[stearns]

i tried thinking about everything and started getting the "too many posisbilities" readout on my brain thing. Just gonna sit patiently and watch to see how the show's creators answered those same questions.

[marktomblin57]

Watched the face-to-face between Walt and Hank. As it happens to unfold in Hanks garage. Cancer returned, as Walt gets is ass kicked by BILL and ex-friend. Talk about intense, Jesus. As always Walt gets his bluff thrown in as the last words, letting Hank know he's walking on THIN ICE.

[RobR1205]

Who's watching now??

[replicant_argent]

mhm.

[Robulous78]

Man yesterday's episode was EPIC!!!

I wonder how long Marie will sit on the fact that Walt paid for almost all of Hank's rehab...

When the 2 henchmen laid on the pile of money = Hilarious

Lydia and Todd working hand and hand? no more "off-brand Coke" gang? Maybe Lydia becomes Walt's real problem?

Jesse Pinkman in the custody of Hank, Oh sh!t I wonder what next week will hold!!!

Not as exciting as episode 9, but they needed to lay the groundwork for the coming events. Thank god skyler didn't roll! But Jesse? ho boy....

[marktomblin57]

Yeah, oh boy! Jesse has totally lost his nut and don't know where to find it. Just like all the paperboy money he decided to freel out on. He plays a character that is truly split between good and evil, much like having a devil on one shoulder and angel on the other.
Skyler really surprised me, although had she rolled over on Walt it would have ended the series to quickly. Man when Marie slapped Skyler I thought I was going to fall out of my chair. Woot! To be continued.......

[RobR1205]

When the body guard falls on the pile of money, I almost died. Also, I'm glad Bill Burr is in the show now, he's hilarious!

[Robulous78]

When the body guard falls on the pile of money, I almost died. Also, I'm glad Bill Burr is in the show now, he's hilarious!

Agreed. I mean how true to life. Who wouldn't think about Scrooge McDuck-ing it, if only for a minute...

Bill Burr is funny, I'll say since this show I'll be looking out for him...

Marie slapping Skyler was pretty amazing, and them grappling over the baby, could totally see that going down, what surprised me most about that sequence was that Hank told her to give the baby back. We know Hank loves Walt's & Skyler's kids as part of "the family" but after the stay at the Schrader's earlier it seems, maybe only to me, that Hank wants a kid of his own, why Hank and Marie don't have kids yet? I don't know... but it seems they are getting a bit late in life to just be getting started... maybe one of them is sterile?... just a chance thought.

With that line of thought behind the following, is Hank telling Marie to put the baby down actually Hank showing his fear of Walt's episode ending threat? or do you just think the threat of Skyler's to call the law was enough to snap him out of his emotionality and think about the situation logically?

Another stray thought, the 2 cops that were "working" on Jesse in the interrogation room, they are pretty funny as well, not as funny as Bill Burr, but they definitely make good cop bad cop pretty hilarious...

/rant

[RobR1205]

Anyone watch last night!? Please tell me how shocking last nights episode was...because I'm still trying to process it all

[cmitch]

This is the last season? I guess I can understand that, stop it before it gets ridiculous and too redundant.

I'll be watching the premiere tomorrow for sure.
Too late. It got ridiculous last night.

[ucla695]

The last several episodes have been great. Going out with a bang!

[stearns]

yup, the rest of the season is definitely gonna be nuts, "going out with a bang" is an understatement :tu

[Robulous78]

That last episode was spectacular to say the least...

"I watched Jane die. I saw her overdose. I could have saved her but I didn't..." - SO COLD!!!

"your the smartest guy I know but you are too stupid to realize he made up his mind 10 minutes ago, The name is ASAC Schrader and you can go fu#K yourself..." what a line...Hank went out like a man, crawling to the shotgun, never giving up, looking at the end of the barrel saying "do what you gotta do..." Elevates him to total bada$$ in my book...


as we know, Walt wants "Jesse-the-rat" D.E.A.D. dead... I think its safe now to assume that M-60 will be pointed at some members of the Aryan Brotherhood, the real question to me is, do you think Walt will find Jesse and let him go? or finish him?

I understand Vince the Producer didn't want to dilute the plot any, but they could have/should have given us more on Todd & uncle Jack. I would have liked to know more about a man that can pull off 10 prison murders in 2 minutes...

Anyways, we have 2 more to go and alot lot lot more plot to cover, IE. Lydia Rodark-Quail, Shes a must die in my book... :lr

[Robulous78]

We could talk about what may or may not have happened had Flynn not jumped into the knife fight. For a second it seemed Walt was going for blood...

[RobR1205]

Yeah I'm in total agreement with you. When he mentioned that he saw Jane die, it was then that I really started to see that this is more than just money...this whole drug operation has consumed and changed him.

I used to like Jesse, but now I have really grown to dislike him. I have this weird feeling that he will live to see the end of all this.

Something big is definitely going to go down this Sunday, because I feel like the flash-forward to Walt's 52nd birthday (episode 9) will pick up during next episode.

I did some research on the name of the last episode, and I have to say, Vince Gilligan gives the episode titles some very clever names. Ozymandias is the name of a poem about the inevitable decline of all leaders, and of the empires they build, however mighty in their own time. Indeed, that is exactly what happened to Walt now that his family has turned away from him, despite this whole ordeal originally being for their benefit.

The next episode is "Granite State" presumably where Walt runs away to. The final episode "Felina" is an anagram for the word finale. Gilligan describes the episode as "polarizing" so I guess we'll have to wait and see how things shake out....

[ucla695]

Yeah I'm in total agreement with you. When he mentioned that he saw Jane die, it was then that I really started to see that this is more than just money...this whole drug operation has consumed and changed him.

What was left of the old Walt died with Hank.

[shark]

Just began watching Ozymandias, last Sunday's episode. I've been skimming over many posts because I don't want to read any spoilers. What a slimeball Walt has become, is all that I can say so far. And Skyler is pretty devious when she needs to be as well. Can't wait till Sunday....Granite State. Maybe some explanation regarding that red Caddy with the New Hampshire plates? And that M-60 machine gun in the trunk?

[shark]

OK, he must have talked to Saul about that guy who could make anyone "disappear". That explains the New Hampshire plates on the car. But why would he risk going back there to ABQ, and his former neighbor recognized him....Remember that he could be facing the death penalty because two Feds died in that shootout, even if he didn't order a hit on them, he's still responsible

[stearns]

meet me in new mexico, it's going down...

[Robulous78]

This is gonna be FRICKIN' CRAZY!!!!!! :banger

[shark]

Todd is a cold blooded SOB, along with his uncle. I guess they made the point crystal clear to Jessie

[RobR1205]

Eagerly awaiting tonight's episode and the epic conclusion...Jesse is going to wake up in Chemistry class!

No, but seriously, there are so many speculations, that I haven't the slightest clue what is going to happen.

[shark]

It ended pretty much the way that I expected.

[RobR1205]

It was a happy, sad, tragic, and yet satisfying ending all at once. Very well done episode.

[Stevez]

Agree Rob; very well summarized. Satisfying, but I hate, hate it being over. Going to have DT's next Sunday night for sure.

[RobR1205]

And the more I reflect on it, the happier I am the episode ended the way it did. The song choice of "Baby Blue" was genius. They did a really nice job of tying up all the loose ends any including some subtle themes and objects in the episode; Walt wearing exactly what he wore in the first episode for example.

What an eye for detail! I never noticed that Walt was wearing the same clothes as the first episode, but now I'll have to go back and watch again.

Marie is also wearing black for only the second time in the series. Every other episode before hank died, she wore purple. I love picking the episodes apart! Vince Gilligan is really a clever producer...almost everything in every episode is put in intentionally. Even down to the songs you hear on the radio usually foreshadow or have something to do with the episode.

Great ending to an epic series! It ramped up from the first show to the last. Definitely in my top shows of all time. Right up there with the Wire. ...it'll be a while before another show can hang with BB.

One loose end that I'm wondering about: What happens to Brock? Does Jessie take him under his wing?

[RobR1205]

Guess that's left up to interpretation. My assumption is yes since Jesse has been getting the s****y end of the stick for five seasons. Finally, the poor guy is free since Walt took all the blame for the crimes he and Jesse committed.

Great show! Non the less,i still hoping for alternate ending with cliche story... Like his cancer is gone... Kill everybody in his path even the grey matter couple... And live as a king somewhere in asia or elsewhere...

[dgold21]

I thought the ending was perfect...even though some of it was foreshadowed, the writing was brilliant and left me completely satisfied. If they had gone so far to tie up ALL the loose ends (Brock, what happens to Jesse, Skylar, etc...) then it would have really detracted from the overall feel of the finale in my opinion. I don't need to know what happened after the events at the closing scene, I want to remember the show as it was presented...Vince's ideal vision of how the story ends.

[Robulous78]

I definitely feel they started a story arch in the Madrigal Electromotor direction and then scaled it back rampantly to come to a conclusion on time... I mean do you really think Lydia had COMPLETE control over her Czech republic cohorts? I definitely think there was more to that then they presented us... that being said, It was a good conclusion wrapping up ALL MOST all loose ends IMHO...

[RobR1205]

Yeah I will agree with you rob. The show was almost perfect, but certainly had its flaws. The ricin in the last episode, for example, would decompose in hot or boiling water in real life thus not causing it to poison someone like it did to Lydia. The madrigal company definitely could have Been explained better because when they first introduced it in season five, I was like: who are these people? But at this point, I'm just nitpicking at small imperfections in the show.

Well I didn't catch the ricin technicality but I really feel while they did an excellent job making Lydia out to be up tight and analytic one obviously can tell she merely has connections and thereby makes her money, her hands are too unsteady to get dirty. So I feel that even with her death there are some Czech's out there going WTF... Not that it really matters to Walt anymore, but if they dug deep enough it could affect Skyler and Jr.

Jesse driving off into the night is a nice touch, but realistically, if the cops were on the way after the M-60 report, they would have seen the suspect car speeding off, bashed by the front gate it busted through, stopped it and got him. Guess thats why you have to suspend reality a bit... All this speculation about him going to get Brock is a nice after thought, but if his mother was just murdered would the child not be in protective custody or a child care home? both requiring Jesse to face authority figures? like I said, its a nice thought but doubtful...

with no money, possibly a house that everyone in ABQ knows the location of, I see Jesse driving that car off into the desert, running out of gas, and as he hikes to the next town jesse dies alone in the desert of dehydration... <end scene>

also, the body placement of Walt and Jesse during the m-60 onslaught, how is it possible that walt would get hit and not Jesse with a round so powerful laying in the position they were?

these are minor details, but the 1, SINGLE, cliche that bothered me most about the whole episode... Jack played along only too well by letting Walt egg him on to bring Jesse to the room when accusing them of being partners, I think that exchange between Walt and Jack could have used some more tweaking, Wouldn't a man like Jack just not proceed to beat the piss out of someone that said he was partners with a rat? I think Walt could have/should have for realism, taken a punch or 2 there before making Todd produce Jesse from the lab...

And while most people got the idea of the wooden box dream Jesse was having, it was only touched on once before in the entire run of the show, I would have liked to see more of Jesse's simpler dream...

As for Walt, something that bothers me is while we did see him enjoy himself marginally, and we did see him gather a butt ton of money, we never really get to see him as a King-esque figure, except save maybe the 1 shot of him in the back seat of Mikes car when he says "because I said so..."

All the above aside, I thoroughly enjoyed the show, and much like the drug they were producing itself, it has left me twitching and wanting more... :lr

[Mr. Grimes]

Loved the show and the ending. Sad to see it end.
