Breaking Bad Season 5 - Official Discussion Thread

[Don Vito Corleone]

I think all we've seen are Chow at the chemical warehouse and the laundry manager ( who gomez talked to ). I'd bet the manager has at least seen walt & jesse.

That's right - forgot about that guy. He could very easily have identifying information on Walt & Jesse, since he has seen them many times, as well as their vehicles/license plates.

 

[davmat787]

Yea, you guys are right again. At least the manager has seen them coming and going from the lab for sure, and they always just parked right in front, as if they had reserved parking spaces.

I guess there was not much strategery in Walts killing of Mike, for if there were he would have done it outright rather than in a fit of anger. And of course he would never get the names if Walt were dead, when he shot Mike, he had yet to remember Lydia had the names as well.

But Walt did take the gun out of the bag, which shows some level of premeditation. I just assumed it was for some sort of offensive reason, you guys are of the opinion it was purely for defensive reasons? So Mike couldn't use it to kill Walt during the bag handover?

So does anybody know what Hanks's obsession with minerals a while back was all about? They kinda let that whole thing die off without explaining it. Maybe it'll come back in a future episode to tie something together, but who knows...

Guy was going through some life changing shit and needed a hobby to take his mind off of it. Now that he is the head honcho at the Albuquerque DEA office he doesn't have time to play with rocks.

Inb4 "Damnit Marie, they're minerals!"

Yeah, but it would be cool if that knowledge gained somehow helps him nail Walt. That would be a very Gilligan foreshadowing.

If I were Vince I'd have Walt killed -- perhaps in anger but accidentally -- by Walter, Jr., but only after Hank and Skylar and Marie and the camerman and the grip were all slaughtered, one by one, as well.

Pure Shakespearean/Greek tragic ending if his son, the one true innocent in ALL of this, killed him.

Have you ever come up with an original idea Perks?

Mikes grand daughter will shoot walt with an ak. Walt jr freaks and sets house on fire with skyler, hank and marie in it. End.

That was freaking sweet. Well done to him! lol

 

[Colt45]

I'm kinda betting on a everyone dying in the end.

even walt jr and marie, etc.

 

[thegimp03]

What if Gilligan, who at this point has the majority of fans guessing that Walt gets killed at the end of the show, lets Walt get away with it?

 

[Anubis]

i still hold the belief that walt sacrifices himself to save someone else and thus comes full circle. this doesn't mean he dies doing it, i still think the cancer comes back

 

[BrokenVisage]

If you watched the very end of the previews for next week's episode I think you already know the answer to that. The logistics of it will make things tricky though, unless his uncle is head of the Aryan brotherhood or something it will be impossible for them all to be eliminated.

Ha! Totally called the Aryan brotherhood connection.

 

[ultimatebob]

Wow...Walt's evil genius has reached Gus Fring levels, and I kinda like it!

All hail the new king

 

[Anubis]

nice I knew Todd's prison connection would come into play I did not expect it to be the AB but it makes sense and it opens up a world of new shit that can go wrong

 

[Anubis]

oh snap

Wow, he got out, left it all behind, gave Jesse his money and gave up the Czech job, now that.... Oh boy, I'm happy hank found out but wow what a time for it to come out.

I am confused about the book Hank was reading in the bathroom. What significance does that have in the series?

Does anyone truly think that Walt is out of the business?

Taken from Reddit:

Spoiler

The Walt Whitman poem book was given to Walter White as a gift from his ex-partner, Gale Boetticher, who had an almost fan-like obsession with him. Gale was also a fan of Walt Whitman poems, and coincidentally (or maybe not so coincidentally, as this is a TV show), Walter White and Walt Whitman happen to share initials.
After Gale was killed, Hank was given his file to look over in an attempt to figure out if Gale was the mastermind, Heisenberg. Hank found a dedication to a W.W. in the lab notebook. Hank read this and pondered who this was in a conversation to Walt - "Woodrow Wilson? Willy Wonka?... Walter White?", he added jokingly, to which Walt replied, in a sarcastic tone, "You got me!".
Fast forward to today. Hank is in the bathroom and looks for something to read while he shits. He finds the Walt Whitman poem book (that Gale gave to Walt, which he stupidly put in the bathroom). On the front page, Hank finds a dedication from a person named G. B., which, along with the content of the dedication and the handwriting, Hank recognizes as being Gale Boetticher. This dedication is to "*another * W.W.". This triggers the conversation Hank had with Walt and especially the quote "You got me!" leading Hank to make the connection that Walt is Heisenberg!
You must also remember what Hank knows about this Heisenberg. From the fake Badger drug bust that Saul organized as one of his first jobs with Walt and Jesse, Hank was told that Badger's supplier, Heisenberg, was an old bald man, in his 50s, average height and weight. Obviously, this profile has to be in the back of Hank's head the whole time.
Now, it clicks!
