To add to this: Walt totally prepared himself to throw up in a similar way to Gus when he was vomiting in Mexico in S4.

Great episode to start the season. I love how the show sometimes completely throws you off balance. Thought that Hank and Walt would play cat-and-mouse for a while this season? Too bad, and we get a totally different, yet totally fulfilling, confrontation instead. Tread lightly indeed.

Exactly.

I do like Skylar's confrontation with Lydia...has she turned, so to speak?

Yeah, but Walt wouldn't know that. Only the audience does.

I thought that was an homage to Goodfellas "He's mine! Get your own damm man!"

The spoiler from Vince Gilligan for next week is that Walt has to watch out for the "moving parts" Lydia mentioned when she came to the car wash.
 
Re: Meth, I Hear You Callin': The Final Season of Breaking Bad

The way the house is destroyed has me more interested than anything. Completely gutted and trashed, Heisenberg writing on the wall. Only things I can think of is that the story goes public and he somehow gets a following, or becomes a "legend of sorts." That, or the Arizona gang spray painted that on the wall as a warning.

I'm one who buys into that "trait of victim" theory. From the scenes (which was really just voiceovers over like two second clips) they showed during Low Winter Sun, it definitely sounds like Skylar rats Walt out.

All I know is that I don't think I can wait 7 weeks for this story to be over, but at the same time I don't want it to end. I only started watching it this past Christmas, and I'm almost glad of that, I don't know if I could've continually been given so many cliffhangers week after week without going insane. I may be legitimately sad when this is over.
 
Re: Meth, I Hear You Callin': The Final Season of Breaking Bad

Maybe all that spray painting was done by Tucker, or is he still digging the hole?

Skylar finally had the life, with Walt and her children, that she hoped to find at the end of the tunnel after committing to her part in Walt's life of crime. She has been through too much and does not want Lydia dragging her family back down out of the light.

Breaking Bad is getting The Walking Dead treatment from AMC as tonight is the premiere episode of Talking Bad hosted by Chris Hardwick. Tonight's guests are Vince Gilligan and Julie Bowen. It airs live at 11pm. Only hours to go until the last episode... Oh, and AMC will air all of Season 5.1 this afternoon leading up to the start of 5.2

Julie Bowen from Modern Family? (Or, if you prefer, from Happy Gilmore?) That's random.

Loved Badger's Star Trek stuff.

She is a megafan of the show. She was asking Vince more questions than Chris. The show will consist of a person from the show and a celebrity that is a huge fan of the show.
 
Re: Meth, I Hear You Callin': The Final Season of Breaking Bad

Finally got to watch last night on DVR. Didn't work out Sunday night.

I loved the beginning, it added quite a bit to the cold opening from season 5.1.

I was pleasantly surprised that the Walt-Hank confrontation has already happened, the Walt vs. Hank angle is the one that I am most interested in at this point. Question...even if Hank thinks or even knows that Walt is Heisenberg, there's no evidence. What is Hank going to do? He can't arrest Walt. He would need to turn Skylar, which may lead to Walt taking her out.

Girlfriend didn't buy that Walt had cancer again. She thinks he went back to get chemo while he's still in remission as some kind of play. I don't buy it, but it is an interesting theory.

I have two guesses on this one:

  1. The cancer has truly come back, and he's not saying anything on account of Skyler being so open about biding her time until that happened. Or...
  2. It actually is a long con of some sort, and he's planning on using that to fake his cancerous death, despite still being in remission.

I'm guessing it's the first one.
 
Re: Meth, I Hear You Callin': The Final Season of Breaking Bad

The final episode is named "Felina":
Breaking Bad‘s finale is called “Felina,” which is an anagram for finale, but also, as another sharp-eyed critic noticed, it’s a nod to the 1959 country song “El Paso” by Marty Robbins. In the song, the narrator falls in love with a beautiful Mexican girl named Felina and ends up killing a stranger who buys her a drink. He escapes to “the badlands of New Mexico” before he’s shot down by the stranger’s friends, a furious posse of vengeful cowboys.

Re: Meth, I Hear You Callin': The Final Season of Breaking Bad

Would the doctor give him treatments even if he's in remission?

Didn't Skyler NOT sign the divorce papers (even after Walt did) purely so that she couldn't testify against him? Would she turn now, even though her neck is on the line? Yes, the DEA may offer her immunity, but her biggest fear was that Walt Jr would find out about his father. Now she's going to spill the beans that BOTH of them are involved? I don't see it.

Walt does have another card to play against Hank, but it would be tricky. Gus threatened to kill Hank and it was Walt (through Saul) that tipped off the DEA and got the family protection. Of course, the reason Hank was in danger was because of Walt, but I'm sure he would spin it into revenge for Hank killing Tuco and his cousins. He still has plenty of ammo to use on Hank if he gets pressed. The most damming piece still being that it was drug money that paid for Hank's rehab. It may not come to that though, if Walter keeps denying it and everyone keeps their mouth shut.

I expect Lydia will hire some goons to try to kidnap Walt and make him cook to get that purity back up to 99.1%. Granted Todd isn't the brightest bulb, but if he is using Walt's formula and equipment how on Earth did he get the purity down to 68% (and falling? What, he's getting worse with each cook?). I think those are the "moving parts" he has to watch out for.

Remember Walt has borderline (or full blown depending) OCD when it comes to the chemistry equipment. Everything was measured exactly and the equipment was scrubbed down after every cook. (How many times was Jesse yelled at for not cleaning the lab?)

So it's pretty believable that the quality has suffered if Todd isn't as meticulous as Walt. Especially when it comes to cleaning the equipment after every cook.

That's a pretty simple fix.


I think the Arizona gang makes a return, they're likely the ones who tag Walt's house. Lydia and Walt have an understanding since Walt saved her life.


I've read some of these theory articles, it's going to be interesting to see how the end arrives.

Chemo is miserable and I have a hard time imagining anyone getting it voluntarily, though desperate times do call for desperate measures. As Priceless mentions there's also the issue of actually getting it administered.

It's an interesting point re. the lack of real evidence proving that Walt is Heisenberg. I'm not a criminal lawyer (let alone a criminal lawyer like Saul), but I'm not convinced that the copy of Leaves of Grass would even be admissible in court, since it's a) essentially stolen, and b) removed from Walt's house without any proof that that's where it came from other than Hank's word that that's where it came from (and that after he was instructed to drop the Heisenberg investigation). The rules of evidence are pretty strict, and now that Walt knows that Hank is on to him I think real evidence is going to start disappearing pretty quick.

True, but 68%? That's a hell of a drop.
