Yeah, I loved it. It's probably my favorite so far of S5, part II.

Re: TV: Breaking Bad
Rather than spending all my time trying to predict where the plot will go (which I definitely sucked at the first 5 seasons), I keep trying to forecast how they'll structure the remaining episodes, like when in the next 4 episodes will we catch up to the events of the flash-forward? How long a period of time will we see following the events of the flash-forward?

UGH. They're making a Colombian version of the show. Ridiculous.

I was really afraid before we knew hank showed up that they really were doing a "jesse changed his mind" type thing

Re: TV: Breaking Bad
so walt has heard todd's voicemail?
also, i love how walt won't even listen to the idea of killing jesse from anybody else, but as soon as jesse threatens him, it's aryan brotherhood prison shanking rampage.

it felt like that was in response to Jesse directly threatening his family.

Yeah, actually. He thought Jesse had "changed his mind,' remember??
Hearing a still psychopathic Jesse threaten his family made him realize Jesse would continue to be a threat. I dont think it was the "threatening him" because Jesse didnt really threaten him, he threatened his family.

Re: TV: Breaking Bad
I think, until that moment in the plaza, Walt thought he could talk Jesse down. Walt felt he could always manipulate Jesse to do what he wanted.

Re: TV: Breaking Bad
Walt making that phone call might be the single biggest change/shift in character we've seen on this show. Not only is Walt actually considering harming Jesse for the first time, but I think he's shaken by Jesse. I won't go so far as to say afraid of him, but I'll say he's afraid of the possibility of Jesse Pinkman. He's lost control. But more importantly, he knows it.cutuphalfdead wrote:yupdurdencommatyler wrote:Totally agree.numbers wrote:I think, until that moment in the plaza, Walt thought he could talk Jesse down.

His alliance with Skylar is making things a lot more complicated. He has someone else to answer to now when it comes to his decision making as Heisenberg.durdencommatyler wrote:Walt making that phone call might be the single biggest change/shift in character we've seen on this show.

Re: TV: Breaking Bad
It's fascinating. I really wish we had more than four hours to explore these new dynamics. But they are volatile dynamics. They can't possibly last. So, it's probably better this way. But I'm loving these new shifts.cutuphalfdead wrote:His alliance with Skylar is making things a lot more complicated.

Re: TV: Breaking Bad
thanks for explaining, makes much more sense to me now. it also makes me wonder if jesse is also looking to burn hank now too. there's no love lost in doing something that will bring both men, who have tried to manipulate jesse, down.@SkitchP wrote:elliseamos wrote:as oppose to the indirect threat of pouring gasoline in his house.@SkitchP wrote:elliseamos wrote:so walt has heard todd's voicemail?

i see no way this does not end with anything other than a mexican standoff between walt, hank, and the aryan brotherhood. we know walt will be heavily armed.
