People are hilarious! I'm already seeing folks do a 180 on Skylar.

Pinkman is going to work with Hank to bring down Walt me thinks.

Probably. Seems like the most direct way to wrap this up.

Todd is a total sociopath but the fact he was the nerdy outcast from Friday Night Lights ruins his character for me.

Yeah I've been having trouble accepting him as this character because of FNL as well.

Never watched FNL so I'm enjoying his role here.

I really enjoyed this episode. Not a lo of direct action, but a lot of jockeying for position. I'm excited to see how next week opens with Hank and Jesse.

Alright, I actually thought that was a bizarre episode. Maybe one of my least favorite in several seasons. The dialogue was awkward and stilted. The acting was well below what I've come to expect. This episode actually felt like a year had passed. Last week didn't seem to skip a beat, but this one... I don't know... this one felt more like a show trying to be Breaking Bad than it felt like Breaking Bad.

I liked this episode a lot. I'm enjoying how I'm constantly reassessing how I feel about these characters.

My prediction:
Spoiler: show
Jesse will aid Hank in stopping Walt, but later on Walt will help Hank duke it out with Todd & the Aryan Brotherhod. I also believe Walt will fake his own death, maybe with or without Hank's help

Marie's kleptomaniac tendencies have really spiraled out of control if she's straight-up stealing people's babies now.

First off, Dean Norris is just killing it so far. Last night's episode felt like it was only about 10 minutes, I really liked it.

Pure Speculation:
I wonder if Walt's play is going to be 'Hank was in on it all the whole time'. Hank took money from Walt for his medical expenses. Hank has all the evidence from the Heisenberg case in his possession w/o clear explanation as to why he wanted it. Plus, as Hank said, he would look ridiculous for not noticing what was happening right underneath his nose.
/speculation


What's truly great here is that I'm not seeing an obvious path towards the 'flash forwards' we have been shown and the plot is not in a situation like Lost or BSG where they can pull the old 'crazy sci-fi magic' card to get us there. Hopefully they will finally get the Best Drama Emmy this year because it's been far better than Homeland and Mad Men is just played out at this point.

I thought that scene was really good, even though I have never been a fan of either Anna Gunn or Betsy Brandt. Skylar's choices touching her family similar to the way Walt's have.

This is solid. I like this.

i had to look this up to remember how it went:

The Heisenberg Principle - the more precisely the position of some particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa.

seems about right. also, i've been thinking about the plane crash from season 2... not sure why, i just have.
