Breaking Bad Season 3 Running Thread

I thought Jesse was going to eat the burgers, which were left in his car when the initial plan was scuttled.

Which brings up a question: Are we really to believe he just quickly scored some ricin off the internet? That seemed like a very convenient plot device.

 

Arnold, I'm pretty sure Wendy walked off with the burgers if I'm not mistaken.

 

Not unless they were in her purse. I was paying attention because I wanted to see where they ended up. She didn't have the bag.

 

Strange not seeing Hank, Marie or Walt, Jr. in this episode and Skylar being there so briefly.

 

I love this show, and I loved almost all of the episode.

I must admit, I'm slightly disappointed at the very end.

Kind of a cheap cliffhanger. But obviously, there I'll be next season.

 

I wonder about the place that Mike raided in the middle of the show and what role that group of people might play next season.

 

Yeah, that's a factor...and maybe I'm being too hard on the end -- what did I expect, them to wrap everything up into a bow?

 

I know they kept teasing the sneak peek at Rubicon, but since my TV Guide channel showed Breaking Bad going until 11:47 p.m., I still thought Rubicon wouldn't start until after for some reason so my DVR is still running.

I missed the first 10 minutes so I'll have to go back and watch that. But that ending was strange because, correct me if I'm wrong, didn't it look like Jesse deliberately moved the barrel of the gun significantly to the right of Gale as if to fire a shot into the kitchen?

 

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who got a little sad the season was ending when they came back from the last break. Thirteen weeks of great television zips by in a heartbeat.
Speaking of which, Gale no longer has one. Sepinwall posted his annual postseason interview with Vince Gilligan. Despite the slight camera pan at the end that makes you think maybe Jesse changed his aim, Gilligan says Gale is a corpse.

In the interview, Gilligan also sticks to his guns and says there's a good chance next season will be the last. At most, two seasons are left.

 

It's the oddest thing -- having started whining about the finish in the first place, I can't tell if I'm sad that there's no real suspense to it, or whether I'm glad to know he didn't mean it to be ambiguous. I think I should just STFU...

Count me, absolutely, among those who thought he might have changed his aim and let Gail live, at least for that moment.

 

I thought he might have let Gail live too, SF. I'm glad to know the answer, one way or another.
And there's still plenty of suspense spilling out of that moment. How will Jesse deal with actually becoming "the bad guy" like he wanted? Will he even make it out of the apartment before Victor gets there? What happens with Walt now? Does Gus just have him killed and be done with it? How can Walt still work for Gus when they've both turned this into a kill or be killed situation?
Lots of directions they can go in for Season 4.

 

It's funny how none of my friends watch this show and they're skeptical when I tell them how great it is.
