Breaking Bad Season 5 Thread

How about how polite he was in Holly's room?

That episode was paced differently and had a different tone than the week before, but was every bit as good. Haven't stopped thinking about it.

 

No, it wasn't.

 

Sepinwall nailed this one: http://www.hitfix.com/whats-alan-watching/review-breaking-bad-granite-state-no-escape.

 

The Grantland review is up now, too.

I've never been much of a fan of Greenwald's stuff. Like Simmons, he doesn't seem to have an editor and always goes on for too long.

 

I'm sorta surprised the Nazis didn't kill Todd after hearing that Jesse ratted him out to the DEA.

 

I couldn't agree more. He overwrites and crams way too many tangents in every review.

 

Walt wakes up in bed with Jane Kazmarek, it was all a dream. Walt/Hal then stumbles into the kitchen and finds Jesse, Badger, Skinny Pete, and Combo at the table instead of Malcolm, Francis, Reese, and Dewey. Jesse draws a gun on Walt/Hal followed by a closeup of Bryan Cranston's jaw dropping. Fade to black. "Life is unfair..." plays on the soundtrack. #wildlyinaccuratepredictions

 

What happened to all of the sons from Malcolm In The Middle? Maybe they're actually meth dealers and/or users.

Speaking of which, when Walt was hatching his plan to send money to his family via Lewis, I had a picture in my mind of him sending money via Malcolm In The Middle's Stevie Kenarban.


DRUG MONEY MIDDLE MAN

 

Walt heads back to ABQ, meets up with Lydia threatens her with the ricin to tell him where the Nazis are (maybe kills her anyway), on the way to the Nazis he lets the cops know where he will be and tells them where Hank and Gomy are, dies in a shootout with the Nazis and the cops come and find Jesse. Alive.
And then there is the epilogue scene and we find Skyler, Marie, Holly and Walt Jr. under one roof. I don't know what the hell happens to Jesse. He becomes a HS science teacher? Raises the kid?

 

That theory makes no sense from the beginning. Why would he threaten her with ricin instead of a gun? Ricin is for killing someone who he wants to kill secretly (until it's too late).

 

Jesse, if he lives, goes to jail. Full stop.

He was party to and abbeted most of the serious shit Walt did ... and some of things Gus Fring did that Walt didn't have involvement in.

If Walt is dead, there is no deal for him to make with the Feds. He does time.

If Jesse doesn't go to jail, he's still the only person alive who can cook blue. Think another of the Mexican cartels might be interested in that?

I don't think there's a sunset for Jesse to ride into regardless of what happens to Walt.
