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

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

The big spoiler for next week from Vince Gilligan: Walter gets new glasses.
 
Re: Meth, I Hear You Callin': The Final Season of Breaking Bad

Did anyone else, if even for a split second, wonder what Hank was going to do with Holly?
 
Re: Meth, I Hear You Callin': The Final Season of Breaking Bad

Well, he eventually used her abduction and his knowledge that the cops were at his house to try to shield Skyler through that conversation. Holly asking for her mama (maybe combined with knowing that by cancer or Aryans he's dead soon) gave him a chance to try to give Skylar a way out.

But until that point? No idea what his plan was. Just a knee jerk reaction to maintain some amount of an upper hand in the situation, I guess.

If you watch the episode again, look for Walt's pants from the pilot (that flew off the RV) in the desert when he is rolling the barrel.
 
Re: Meth, I Hear You Callin': The Final Season of Breaking Bad

During the... domestic dispute... at the house, I feared that the worst was going to happen with them rolling around in the living room near the play pen.

Glad that it didn't end how I feared.

So at this point, all signs point to Jesse killing Walt. Am I correct, at the moment?

That seems to be what they were implying with that dog(Jesse) running across the street in the final shot, being the loose end Walt hasn't tied up. I hope so, because the two previous episodes that focused more on Walt and Jesse were a lot stronger than last night and some of the other episodes this season.

I did enjoy the meta joke about Season 1 Skyler saying she could eat an entire pizza. Nice little send-off by the writers.
 
Re: Meth, I Hear You Callin': The Final Season of Breaking Bad

I have to say that the Breaking Bad staff has been very good at keeping notes on the little things to keep it all tied together.

*edit* Was the opening scene previously filmed and they were sitting on it for this long? Obviously some scenes have been filmed in advance so they can be edited in (the flash forwards this season) but we hadn't seen flashbacks like that.

Walt will begin to see things differently. I think about Jesse. I truly think at the end of this episode he hates him.

I think it was newly filmed because both actors look six years older than they were back in Season 1, despite the make up.
 
Re: Meth, I Hear You Callin': The Final Season of Breaking Bad

A possible disappointment that seems looming is Walt vs. Nazis.

Anyone vs. those guys is going to come off sympathetically, vs. a showdown with Hank, Jesse, or Skyler.

I really hope that in the end Walt doesn't die saving Jesse, because that is the most obvious conclusion, and this show has been anything but obvious.

Thanks. Had to watch these final few episodes in standard definition, so fine details like that are completely lost in the broadcast.

That might be Vince's final twist....since we're all expecting anything but the obvious.

Hmmm, I dunno. Not that the Nazis are good guys by any means, but they do have a code of sorts (leaving Walt money, waiting for his orders on Jesse, etc). They are bad guys, but if they kill, it is because it's simply a job they were hired to do, and in the case of Hank, well...that was a sad byproduct of the job they were hired for in the first place.

I honestly think they would have backed off if Gomez/Shrader flashed badges before the shootout (which G/S never would have done anyway, IMO). They have enough connections and enough info to strike later and do the job they were hired for (and find what the coordinates were all about). My reasons? The aforementioned leaving Walt money, and respecting Walt's request to make Jesse's death quick and painless ("There are enough savages out there").

Of course, they beat the ever living hell out of Jesse for info, then again, that is part of a separate deal: Walt doesn't cook for them, so in his place, Jesse is theirs.

Moira Walley-Beckett, who wrote this episode

But in the restroom scene with Bryan, her mommy was just three feet away. And I didn’t script the baby saying “Mama.” I scripted that Walter would come to it himself as he stood Baby Holly up and looked in her face and realized he was doing the wrong thing by her. And then, when he stood her up, and she looked over his shoulder at her 'Mama' and started asking for her, Bryan the consummate actor rolled with it. We just got some movie magic. It was just incredible. It was more than I could have hoped for.
