Breaking Bad Season 5 Thread

I thought that the drunken speech to Hank last season about Gale being a copycat was a little too on the nose.

 

Game of Chemistry

 

Skyler is dead. I don't think she'll make it out of this season. I mean, she could drop a dime on Walt and ask for protection from Hank, but I think Walt slips the ricin and throws her in the pool. Boom, nice and clean and no one is the wiser.
I don't see how she makes it out alive unless Walt is too arrogant and views her as no threat.
Also, what do others see the role of Madrigal and the woman (name escapes me) who has access to methlamine? Does Mike drop her once they get their "ocean?"
Mike is stealing this season and it's great. Just fantastic to watch.

 

Lydia is the methlamine connection. And Mike fucked up not killing her two weeks ago. No good deed ever goes unpunished on this show ...

 

Thanks for the name. Loved how Hank saw her shoes didn't match when the DEA came and picked up another player. Agreed that Mike should've put a bullet in her head. So far this season, she's the one who likes like she would cop to her involvement and cut a deal, but who knows.

 

Half measures never work.

 

Wow. Hell of an episode.

 

Holy shit.

No witnesses means no witnesses.

 

My god. What a stomach punch of an ending. I haven't been stunned like this since, "Run."

 

Todd handled it like a hardened pro. He's going to looked upon more favorably in Mike's eyes.

I think this shows that even though Walt and Jesse have decided to waltz on over to the dark side, they still can't completely shut out who they were before.

 

Um, I didn't see any evidence that Walt was upset with Todd for doing what he did. We obviously know Jesse isn't OK with it because he has a soft spot for kids. But I would argue this will end up putting Todd in Walt's good graces more so than Mike.

 

Before the train showed up ...

JESSE: "No one, other than us, can ever know that this robbery went down. Nobody. Got it?"
TODD: "Yeah, absolutely."
WALT: "Are you sure?"
TODD: "Yes, sir."
