Breaking Bad

[SaraV]

Yeah, I always wear my Christian Loubitins (sp?) to visit remote desert meth labs. (These are women's shoes that cost $800+, and are recognizable by their red soles)

The hatred of Marie has now shifted to Lydia. Wants the business to keep running, but once it hits the fan, she totally freaks out.

I'm catching snippets of Low Winter Sun as I post. So Gale, Morgan from Walking Dead, and Capt. Montgomery from Castle decided to make their own show.

 

[SaraV]

Oooo. Just caught the preview of next week, which includes a line from Saul, half-screamed "I never would have agreed to it if I knew what he was going to do. You've gotta believe me!"

Skyler actually moved up a couple notches in my book.

I think Vince wants to make her more complicated. She was too easy to hate.

She still has some level of loyalty to Walt and her family. Maybe its just about covering her own ***.

 

[ZJohnson]

True, but he's much higher functioning than his character. But yeah, we all know that's not going to happen.

Oh I know. Check these out from the U of AZ. Honestly the kid should be an inspiration to everyone.

Something I've been wondering about the last couple of days as we catch up around here:

Every season, it seems like the stakes get higher and the money is bigger. Now we need something bigger than Gus or Lydia have provided.

Is there a chance that the real money out there is Grey Matter? At each stage, it's been a talented chemist involved in this stuff, and it might explain how they grew so explosively. It feels like a loose end without a full resolution, and it could end up meaning that Walt actually was always going to end up in the meth business.

Or is that something that's already been debunked in previous years?

My gut tells me that there's someone financing Lydia's operation. Obviously, a season doesn't working without pressure for Walt to get back in, and tonight added a little bit more of that (and other things).

Would it make sense for Gray Matter to be a front for an enourmous drugrunning operation, just to bring the whole thing full circle, all the way back to Walt's time in grad school?

I think she is covering her own behind but she did actually seem worried about Walt when he was ill.

Really dumb move to try and take the baby, that closed off any chance she would talk.

Looks like she's back in business and going to have the market all messed up after tonight's episode. And Todd's definitely back as well. I don't really remember the deal she had with the guys who all died tonight. Her foreign customers will be happy with the increase in quality, but what's going to happen to the local customers?

I will be shocked if Lydia survives until the end. She may be hot, but she is annoying!!! Todd is probably starting up his own little business now that Heisenberg is retired.

I really doubt there is going to any real plot twist in these last 6 episodes. I expect the next 6 episodes to fall within the parameters the show has already set. I think Walts going to be facing some heat from the Czech Republic in these next couple episode. I think the IRS is going get to start becoming suspicious of Skyler and the car wash. I also think Hank and Jesse are going to team up against Walt. Ultimately I think it ends with Walter saying some sort of epic line and then taking his own life after the DEA have him backed into a corner he knows he can't get out of. Essentially ending the show the same way it started only this time his gun is loaded.

Walter has been pretty clear through out this show that he wants no one else cooking his formula. I really think when he gets wind of Todd cooking he will come after him and eventually kill him to protect his formula.

No doubt, Todd's a dead man.

I'm fascinated. It's so rare that writers can ramp up the intensity this much without crossing over to something absurd. I wish I'd caught onto this show sooner.

 

[demoncore1031]

But Walt's formula being cooked means that the DEA may be lead to believe that Heisenberg is still out there. This could lead to someone else (Todd?) taking the fall.

Hank already knows Walters Heisenberg. Also Walter is waaaaayy to egotistical and prideful about his formula to let someone else take the fall as being the great Heisenberg. Remember when Hank was 100% convinced Gale was his Heisenberg and went on and on about how much of a genius Gale was in front of Walt at the dinner table? Walter couldn't stand it and eventually convinced Hank that the real Heisenberg was still out there.

 

[DarkStar]

The way the show has gone, I can see Hank breaking bad. He loses his career and lifestyle if he catches Walt. In the end he decides not to throw away his career and coaches Jesse through his latest breakdown. Just my wild guess. But it fits the show. Everyone has their moral breaking point.

Can someone fill me in on something. Gus. The cartel was afraid to kill him because of who he was. I do not remember it ever coming out who he was. All I remember is he was from Chile and there was no record of him in Chile. Did I miss when his background was explained? Just seems if someone was protecting Gus, whomever that was will be looking for Heisenberg. What was in Gus's background that made the cartel afraid to kill him?

Thanks

There is absolutely no way Hank goes bad. There would be no moral balance in the show if everyone went corrupt. Hank and Jesse are going to team up to catch Walt. That's my prediction.

The way I remember it was the cartel wouldn't kill Gus because his operation was to valuable to lose. That is why Gus walked into the open when that sniper was picking people off because he knew they couldn't afford to kill him.

Like I said. Just a guess. In the end, which is stronger? Our instinct for self preservation or some external moral code? I think the moral compass of the show is all actions have consequences. In the end it is not going to end well for anyone involved. For Hank, which is the lesser of two evils? Let one really bad guy go free who will be dead in 6 months anyway from cancer or turn him in and destroy his career and the only means he has to support his family?

As far as Gus is concerned, I always thought Gus and the Cartel were competitors that had an uneasy truce. There was always something unsaid that prevented the Cartel from just eliminating him. Just the way I remember it. Could be wrong.

I just don't see hank letting the guy he has been after the entire show walk free.

also after Gus walks into the sniper bullets Jesse asks mike why Gus did it and mike say because the cartel needs his distribution network. Earlier in the season Gus meets with someone from the cartel and offers to pay them $50 million as a severence and to conclude their business.
