Final Season of Breaking Bad (Spoilers Likely) (Page 2)

But let's get back to BB. Walt's "confession" was a brilliant tactical maneuver which I did NOT see coming, but definitely further complicates the "Hank knows" problem. For Hank that is. And, I was glad for another major "must happen" moment in Jessie's epiphany.

Agreed.  When they started making the "confession," my wife said "What is he doing?"  I said "Well, if he has his confession "on record" and indicates that Hank already knows, then he'll have leverage over Hank."   Of course, I wasn't thinking nearly deviously enough.

Jesse is a huge wild card now, pretty clear that Walt is going to have to kill him... will be a very "heavy" show when it happens.

Hmm... is the ricin for Jesse, Hank, or Walt himself? 

New thoughts?

Is Todd's Uncle for Hank or Jesse?

4 episodes to wrap this thing up.   I'm tense just thinking about it.  

Wowza.

Theory on a podcast I found, is that the uncle is going to cntracted to get Jesse in to Walt alive. Walt is still convinced he can win over Jesse. Look, everyone else around is ready to kill Jesse, including Hank, if it gets the what they need. Walt is, oddly, the one person still trying to keep Jesse alive. Walt is all about family first. Jesse is not Walt's son, but in a way he is Heisenberg's son.

When Walt went into his house looking for Jesse - the tension! I could hardly stand it.

re: Walt needing Todd's uncle. I actually wonder if it's for neither Jesse nor Hank. What if it's for Skyler? She has been pretty assertive this season - I wonder if Walt is annoyed about her pushing herself into his Heisenberg decisions. And in the last ep, Walt's disgust about Skyler spying on him at Saul's and also her request to have Jesse killed. Skyler is fully a part of the Heisenberg system at this point. Maybe Walt resents that? Or maybe I'm being clouded by this ending theory that's going around.

The thing with BB is that it always surprises me, so the real answer is likely something I haven't even considered . Even last week's ep - Hank is the reason why Jesse didnt burn down the house? Didn't see that coming at all.

I figured I would poke some fun:  Saw this on a rerun the other night.

BTW, I'm gearing up to watch The Wire form beginning to end since everyone says it's so good.

I believe the jacket from flash-forward is closer to that worn by Todd.

I think he dies the bacon because no ne is there ith him to do it for him. This doesn't mean he killed Skylar. That's just not going to happen. She is the mother of his children. It's all for nothing if he does that.

I dunno.  He's already WAY PAST "I'm doing this to care for my family after I'm gone."

Walt's life has become a high-speed train-wreck from which we cannot, and will not, look away.

Nothing is off the table at this point. Walt has stopped controlling the situation, and is now only reacting to events as they occur.   This series could very well end with Flynn and the baby surrounded by scorched earth. (and GPS coordinates pointing to barrels of cash.)

Hell, even that might be a little too far-fetched, as it would provide some sort of "victory" for Walt, and I don't think the show is headed in that direction.

This is an interesting perspective and one I can definitely see as a possibility.  It seems Walt will never send Jesse to Belize and especially now since he knows he is walking on eggshells.  On the flip side, Jesse will be hard to contain at this point knowing Walt poisoned Brock.  I shudder to think what Jesse would do if he finds out about Jane - that would be crazy.  Right now Jesse already seems dead set on coming up with a master plan to nail and/or murder Heisenburg.  Can't wait to see how Walt thinks he will magically convince him otherwise (that is if Walt didn't make the call to Todd's Uncle to send Jesse to Belize).

Before these last episodes started I predicted to my wife that the finale will indeed be something nobody has considered.  I told her to watch that Walt would leave his family and hook-up/marry Lydia and they would continue their multi-zillion dollar business in the Czech Republic.  Seems far-fetched, but it very well might be something equally crazy.  I can't wait.

THAT'S awesome!

If that happens, I will buy an M-69 and send Vince Gilligan to Belize.

I agree we won't be able to predict the ending, but once revealed it will make sense. The strength of the show is in its believable narrative. We're never sure what a character does, but once we see, it fits their character, and what they know or believe to know at the time. It makes sense in hindsight. A great example is the fake confession recording fingering Hank. I never would have called it, but it makes perfect sense.

BB-the LEGO game

Especially because the guy who started the shooting appeared to have some sort of automatic shotgun.  How do you miss with that?

Would be interesting to have everyone run out of ammo without hitting ANYBODY, and have the thing devolve into a hand-to-hand melee.  I wouldn't put it past Vince Gilligan.

3 more episodes.  <Frank Barone>HOLY CRAP</Frank Barone>

I was spectating at Ironman WI Sunday night and did not get to watch the episode until last night.  That last scene ranks right up there with the likes of some of the awesome Tuco scenes or the scene with Tuco's cousins and Hank in the parking lot.  SOOOOOOO freakin intense.  I also do not see how Uncle Jack's crew didn't hit Hank and Gomey immediately.  Seemed impossible to miss. 

Jesse reaching for the door was also intriguing.  My thought is after Hank's emotional call to Marie, he will surely be shot dead in that scene.  Whoever else dies I have NO CLUE (except I know it won't be Walt).

I'm not sure I can wait until next Sunday to watch the next episode.

"Bad" cupcakes, anyone??
