Breaking Bad Season 5 Thread

Holy shit. Two minutes of killing, including a fire.

 

Prediction for the final scene -- Pinkman goes to the feds.

 

Holy mother of Fort Knox.

 

So I think I've got this straight ... Walter White is Keyser Soze?

 

Pinkman in mortal fear when Walter White was the one who knocked. But immediately after deciding he's no longer the one who knocks, WW is basically done in.

 

Well, shit.

 

Pretty much what I expected. I think we all knew Hank vs. Walt was coming. I'm not sure that Walt is really out, not sure how that would even be possible unless he turned the whole operation over to TOdd. But there's a lot that went unknown there.

Read some instant reaction complaining that it was a lazy way for Hank to put the pieces together. I actually thought it was brilliant and a great callback. Of all the ways I thought Hank would put everything together, I had forgotten about the moment in his room with the rocks. Walt is obviously a smart man but even he can overlook things and it's not the first time.

I still think there's a chance Jesse fesses up.

All in all, not the best "season" this show has had but I'm giving them a pass until I see the final eight because there is a whole hell of a lot to resolve in those final eight.

 

I loved the camera staying on the back yard scene for a long time with only two minutes left. You were sitting there trying to figure out what could possibly go wrong in two minutes. Well, Hank had to take a shit.

 

Yeah, I thought they were going to use that moment for Walt to announce the cancer was back (which is why he beat the hell out of the paper-towel dispenser in the men's room, I assume).

Also nice to see Lydia perform with competence. Turns out she was just scared to death of Mike.

 

Yeah, we are to assume the cancer is back, right?

 

I still think Lydia is the one who will rat out Walt.

 

Forget Chekhov's ricin...they got us with Chekhov's poetry book. It's going to be hard to wait a year for Hank to get off that commode.
