Breaking Bad Season 5 - Official Discussion Thread

[zinfamous]

My guess is with Hank and Gomez dying, Walt is gonna be on the run ('member how he had facial hair and was in a diner celebrating his 52nd bday?). Not sure what's gonna happen to Jesse though.

I had already forgotten about Walt being on the run at the beginning episode 9. It was pretty clear that the Aryan Nation was going to show up regardless--too much money involved and they really wouldn't give a fuck.

As soon as Hank called Marie...you knew it was over My hope is that Walt is actually on the run from the Aryan Nation, and somehow Hank gets out of this--possibly with Walt turning on them to save Hank...not sure what he can do being cuffed, unless he manages to squirrel his way into the driver's seat and aim Hank's SUV towards the Nazis and take a few of them out...

I mean, we've established that these guys can't shoot for shit (well, except that they get the drop on the other cartel and manage to take about 9 of them out quickly and effectively, yet 2 DEA agents with a 9 mm and a shotgun, completely exposed at ~20 yards, is a hassle. amazing)

it'll be interesting if they kill off hank. hes the only moral and good person on the show

I think Jesse is fundamentally the show's moral center of gravity. Hank, in the last episode, said he'd have no problem with having set up Jesse to be murdered by Walt if that's what it took to snare Walt. At this point Hank is far from morally unimpeachable.

True, Jesse also has no problem killing Walt, though (granted, his goal has been to get him arrested, now), and he has his reasons.

They are the only two characters worth caring about in the show, really. Hank is questionable the way he has used Jesse, but of course he's never liked the dude and in his mind, Jesse will always be a loser junkie methcook. But in the last episode, for whatever reason, Hank is more than willing, it seems, to trust Jessie with his plan.

Plus, if you really want to nitpick, it was apparent from the verbal exchange that these guys would never have opened fire if Hank & Gomez Pyle could have just proved they were cops.

doubtful--that was simply a tactic to get them to drop their guns to reach for the badges so that they could kill them with little hassle. not that these guys would give a shit about killing DEA.

....now, that's all easier said than done. They still couldn't shoot them.

and it was egregious. absolutely terrible. would have been better off ending with the cliche' and open up the next week with Hank and Gomez getting killed. Of course, now you're lead to believe they will somehow survive this? should we believe that? I don't see why not--the writers want us to think that these guys are supermen; unless it was a simple ploy to create a cliffhanger.

Here's the map coordinates of the fictional buried money barrels:

so, are we gonna have crazy people out there digging for fake treasure, like what actually happened when Fargo was realized?

Fargo claimed that it was a true story. Breaking bad... not so much.

maybe i missed something, but why do so many people think marie is going to go try and kill walt or skyler? that doesn't seem to fit her personality at all. if anything, i could see her being the one who spray paints hisenberg all over their house. but i just don't see her actually trying to kill anyone.

Oh, right, forgot about that.

well, it was based on a true story...

I still think the house being trashed is done by Todds uncle and crew. Or the mastermind behind the entire meth industry in NM, CAROLE. :biggrin:

I think the house being trashed is just kids. The neighbor lost her shit when she saw Walt again. He is clearly infamous and most likely an FBI most wanted man. The house couldn't be sold due to meth connections, so kids use it for skateboarding in the pool and graffiti inside.

Sweet. I wonder if it's really going to be only a prequel, or if they're just telling us that so that we won't know that Saul lives.

Saul is going to live either way. If it's a true sequel of course Saul is alive unless they're doing the Breaking Dead and he's a zombie lawyer. And if it's a prequel it will have more appeal if Saul is known to survive, people might not emotionally invest in a character that's dead already. Also, having Saul alive frees up the producers to jump around in the timeline and do a season or two of prequels, then do the Walter White years from Saul's perspective and move forward to what Saul does after things end with Walt.

If you need more evidence Hank's likely to get killed, the name of the episode implies it.

She did tell her therapist that she was looking up untraceable poisons. She even told Walt it would be best if he killed himself.

Her personality seems a bit unstable. She a kleptomaniac, and tried to kidnap a baby.

Saw this earlier and it makes me very, very happy. Saul is my favorite BB character and, imo, one of the most complex characters. He has taken the role of sleazy lawyer to a new level on TV.

Odenkirk is boss. It's long, long overdue, imo, that he finally gets these nice gigs.

hehe, I was wondering that myself: Wait..wasn't he that cool, soulless pistolero that whipped the 9 from his trousers and wasted that kid without thinking, with one shot?

and then....this? wtf.

No chance they'd let Hank live since they showed up and now involved in a shoot-out. They want a piece of the Meth bizne$$.

Exactly!

If Hank dies, she'll go nuts.

ah damn okay i missed the conversation with the therapist, but damn that makes sense now.

 

[Krazy4Real]

LOL! awesome.

If anyone recalls the episode Walt gets pulled over by the cop for his windshield,there was a song playing by America called A horse with no name on his radio he was singing too,well this song in itself is a cancer.I have not been able to stop playing this song and just imaging Walt just going out in blazes of glory while singing to this song......

This song is as bad as that one Song they had for Wendy,wow what a classic and wow this show and its effect on music.

I downloaded Bonfire, from Knife Party, that's a kick ass song. Its the song playing when Walt gets him and his son the 2 new cars. Season 5 Episode 4 titled 51.

 

[darom]

What about this?
Aryan brothers find out where Walt's money is hidden. Walt gets pissed off, gets an M-60 and claims it back while taking care of the Aryan threat.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Whatever happens Walt's life as he knows it is over. He will be a fugitive on the run whether Hank and Gomez live or not. It's going to be a hectic final 3 episodes.
