Breaking Bad Season 5 - Official Discussion Thread

[BrokenVisage]

From Gomez's POV:

RIP Gomez.

His fate is probably sealed but you can't conclusively say RIP Gomez yet, we see him take cover behind the SUV without any signs of being hit, so he at least has as good a chance surviving as Hank... which is near zilch

 

[MikeyLSU]

I'm thinking one of Gomez and Hank are dead, if both were going to die, they would have just shown it in that episode.

The obvious thing would be both dying. So I think somehow, none or one will die then they call their guys to stop shooting so they don't kill walt.

Probably then get walt to walk to them and drive off with him. Who knows what Jesse does, but walt/jesse aren't dying until the final episode if at all.

 

[Craig234]

Hank seemed to pretty ridiculously stand up to shoot his handgun while bullets were coming.

 

[darkxshade]

Why didn't they just show their badges, then everything would've been ok?



Edit: Also, Hank is dead. How do I know? Because he called Marie and the last thing he said to her was "I love you".

Edit 2: Also disappointed at the horrible aim, they didn't seem to aim that bad when they took out that other drug cartel that was originally working for Lydia and there was way more opposition that time.

Gomie should have been blow to pieces in .5 seconds flat, but whatever. I'm betting both die.

LOL @ people thinking Walt is forced to become the new cook. Do you guys really think after all the people who tried to force Walt to do something he doesn't want to do and end up dead these guys are the ones who succeed?

He might willingly do it because they did come to some agreement, even if the situation changed quite a bit. They are still bailing him out if they kill Hank and Gomez. However, you need to consider the opening of the season. It's pretty obvious that gun is going to be used on the Aryans, and this episode is probably the reason why.

Walt should understand that you don't just shake hands with white supremacist wet-workers and then renege when you learn more about the situation. He reluctantly made a deal to offer his services to make them a ton of money and they accepted, you can't just "call it off" now, besides Walt has no leverage on them at this point except to go to the feds and implicate himself.

 

[skipsneeky2]

Hank and Gomez die,Walt decides to say fu to the Aryans cause Walt did not want Hank dead and they came despite him saying no,he calls up Saul Goodman and gets his guy to give him and his family a new identity,this is how he ends up in New Hampshire and this is why he buys the M60 as he fears the Aryans tracking him down.

The ricing part i have not figured out but honestly believe its gonna be used on Jesse but i could be wrong.

plus he's handcuffed at the scene of a major crime. He's not exactly in a position to negotiate.

I get why he's in a pinch, I just don't understand why people don't think he can get himself out of it. He's proven time and again that he will come up with a solution to get himself out of it. He doesn't need leverage, he's Heisenberg.

"OK, here's the step you guys are missing, yeah you don't really need those masks..."
*Walt creates a deadly gas through the wonders of chemistry*

The idea these guys can force him to do something kinda makes me think people suddenly forgot every previous plot arc.

they know all the steps and todd can get them to ~70% (he took notes with walt), they just need walt to tweak it.

if hank and gomie die, walt's money probs are over. who knows where the money is after that? - walt & jesse. if walt wants to he can still have jesse killed right there.

I want it for that damn apron mostly,my wife would be wearing it usually but fuck it,ill barbecue in the damn thing myself and i never wear a apron lol.

 

[Vdubchaos]

I think Jessie will survive.....cops are done.

How many episodes left this season?

Preview to next weeks shows was.....not really a preview, was it now? lame

 

[PottedMeat]

3 episodes left

i like what they're doing with the 'previews' - they show absolutely nothing from the next episode, just recycle scenes from the newest one.


...with dexter you may as well just watch the preview at the end of the show and skip the show

 

[nageov3t]

I can't decide if the perspective is fucking with me, that barrel is huge, or that apron is small.

3 left. I never watch the previews since I don't want anything spoiled, so no idea about that.

i'm gonna guess that apron would fit a toddler by the size of the dvd/bluray/whatevers next to it

I am somewhat tempted despite already owning 1-4 on blu ray. Since it's $225 at Amazon, though, I will decline to indulge my temptation . . .

I think this is the only show where I would even entertain buying a big barrel-shaped special edition container like this - that thing must take up a fair amount of space.

I think that Walt will do the one cook he promised to do, but when they try to make him do more... Well, that's probably what the M60 is for.

 

[skipsneeky2]

I just realized that as well,i would love a similar apron with that drawn out picture of Heisenberg god i hope i spelled that right in his hat and under it something like"Kiss the cook",told my wife i would sport that at every cook out till my dying days.

1) Walt has a deal with the guys and you most definitely don't Welsh on that group.
2) A man with a wife and two kids is a man who is easy to get leverage on.

If they want Walt to cook, Walt is cooking. At least temporarily until he can get the family safe, like maybe in New Hampshire.

The ricing part i have not figured out but honestly believe its gonna be used on Jesse but i could be wrong.

How about the ricin as a mercy killing? Let's say it plays out like:

AB kills Gomez, almost kills Hank, who is left paralyzed.
Walt has to cook for a little while, escapes to NH.
Gets family safely out of the way, comes back to settle score with AB and collect money.
Uses M-60 on the Aryans, uses the Ricin on Hank because Hank begs him to do it.

lbr, I'd only buy it to bury in the desert.

 

[Rudee]

Could Walt and Jesse possibly be in on it together? i.e. Get the cops and the nazi's to kill each other off in a Mexican standoff and walk off into the sunset together patting each other on the back for a job well done? I think in the next episode we will see everyone dead, with the exception of Walt and Jesse, and Jesse gets out of the car and unlocks Walts handcuffs.

 

[Gibsons]

No, Jesse genuinely hates Walt now.
