Breaking Bad Season 5 - Official Discussion Thread

[nageov3t]

definitely implied that Jesse gets off (legally) free.

the only people who knew of his involvement are Skylar and Marie; Marie knew he was trying to help Hank and Gomez bring down Walt, but they never involved the actual agency.

Spoilers (really, you can't blame me when you come to the last page of this thread after the finale)

It's like you just copy/pasted the top voted comments and images from reddit.

How original and thoughtful of you.

I think it ended great. The writers are very perceptive people and knew exactly what needed to be done for the final episode. I hope wherever Gilligan goes, he retains the majority of this crew.

I think Jesse gets off nearly completely. Remember that he was helping the DEA heavily before Ozymandias episode and before he was in effect abducted and forced to continue cooking meth.

But the only ones who knew anything about Jesse is Hank and Gomez. They were keeping their investigation on the down low. Although, I would presume that Marie told the agents about Jesse and the recording he made.

My guess is Jesse left town straight away and is living another life. He wasn't exactly high profile. And with Walter dead, I don't imagine he'd be a priority with law enforcement.

I thought that whole machine gun contraption was a little cheesy.

Also, why in the hell would they not check his car before letting him enter the compound? That makes zero sense to me, its not like they straight up trusted Walter White as they did frisk him.

to me the machine gun was completely in character for walt - rigging up the bomb for gus, building the battery for the rv, and hey he finally got to build a robot :awe:


the not searching the trunk i guess is the only thing that bugged me. could be justified by saying that kenny was more interested in talking about the car and it slipped his mind.

 

[Anubis]

also im pretty sure they woudl not have thought "hey maybe this dude hooked up a gun in the trunk on some sort of remote, we should check that"

they patted him down, he had no wep, he in their expirence didnt like to get his hands didty in the past (jail people, jesse/hank) so its not hard to see why they didnt look in there

Yeah I guess the machine gun rig is in character but I still can't get over the fact they did not search his car. It's not like the gang were idiots, they were running a complex meth operation and organized the precise & timed assassination of multiple people in prison.

 

[nageov3t]

not sure why they would have searched the trunk... I mean, did they suspect him of hiding a DEA agent in the trunk?

given Walt's general commitment to self-perseverance, it's not like they'd be worried about him bringing in a truck bomb or something.

 

[MetalMat]

And maybe I missed something buy how exactly did Walt know where the location of the gang was

The Shield is similar in a lot of ways and has a fantastic ending.

 

[Kev]

He's met with them there before.

 

[Anubis]

And maybe I missed something buy how exactly did Walt know where the location of the gang was

hes been there 2 times before
when they planned the killing of the people in Jail (season 4)
when he told them he wanted them to kill jesse (season 5 pt 2)

 

[PottedMeat]

when they planned the killing of the people in Jail (season 4)

i think this was in some shit motel

but the jesse hit was at their place

No, they said that Jessie is now wanted in connection with the death of Hank. I would assume that the DEA thinks that Jessie is either dead or that he setup Hank to get him somewhere that they could kill him. So, if Jessie turns up again he is screwed. He has nothing left to trade.

And lets face it Jessie is not smart enough to keep his head down, he is ruled by his emotions. With all the shit he has had to deal with over the last year my bet is he starts using again, and with out anyone to watch our for him he overdoses on heroin within the month.

How exactly did he get the Ricin into the Stevia packet????? Is he David Copperfield?

He knew she would be there, and he planted the ricin ahead of time. He mentioned knowing how "schedule oriented" she is, because they used to meet there every Tuesday at 10 AM.

 

[TeeJay1952]

Hail and Farewell to all my Breaking Baddies. We will meet again but not here and that is sad.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

How exactly did he get the Ricin into the Stevia packet????? Is he David Copperfield?

That seems like an easy one. He had been to that cafe many times. He could easily have gone in there and taken a few packets, then cut one open, replaced some of the Stevia with ricin, then carefully resealed it so that only a very careful examination would reveal the tampering. He knew which table she would sit at and the precise time she would be there, so he could ensure that there was only one Stevia packet, containing the ricin, at that table. He was also physically present so he could, if necessary, intervene to prevent someone else from taking the tainted Stevia packet.

what would they be searching for? they knew that they weren't going to let him walk out of there anyways. it's not like they couldn't kill him then check out what is in his car.

Relax folks, it's just a TV show. You can't expect much to be "realistic" now....we are talking Hollywood.
