Breaking Bad season 5 part 2 that is really season 6 thread

[cool breeze]

I think Jesse mentioned WWJR once or twice, but I'm pretty sure they've never had a face-to-face.

in one of the earlier episodes, maybe the pilot, Jesse tells Krazy 8 about Walt Jr.

I don't think Jesse will go after Flynn if he wants to hurt Walt.  If Jesse wants to hurt Walt, he should start cooking by himself and take/sully the Heisenberg name or something.

but yeah, Flynn is Walt's ace.  What's Jesse going to do? Can't convince him of Walt's wrongdoings.  Flynn would wreck Jesse's shit in a fight.  Slip meth into his raisin bran and turn him into an addict? sike! Flynn eats raisin bran crunch.

[Eel O'Brian]

Team Saul, Old Yeller Style

[Phoenix Dark]

I've been saying for years that Walt Jr. will die in a car crash, seems like I'm running out of time. Having him die in a nice car Walt bought him seems like the ultimate final nail in the coffin between him and Skylar.

Or if Walt Jr were to die of an overdose, but that seems too cliche.

[Himu]

I was Team Hank until he was willing to let Pinkman die. It fits with his character but it pissed me off. Team Jesse bitches, even if I thought he was a major liability during the Gus period.

Felt the same way about Hank.

[Himu]

At this point, I'm Team No One and I'm hoping they all suffer. At this point, everyone involved, aside from Walt Jr, is pathetic and terrifying.

Still Team Walt, especially after Hank was cool with Jesse getting offed. I was cool with Hank winning up until he was willing to fuck over Skyler and have Jesse get killed on camera. I'm sticking with the asshole I've been rooting for from the beginning.

Also, Jesse is an idiot. He should be the one to kill Walt if it ever comes down to it. But man is he a paranoid idiot. He fucked over Hank and potentially fucked himself over doing that.

Months of being manipulated, drug use, having a reason to be paranoid don't make him look like an idiot at all.

[Himu]

Wait for his plan first.

[brawndolicious]

He declared war basically on Walter, and he knows the guys Walter is likely to hire to kill him. I wouldn't put it past Jesse to use himself as bait.

[fistfulofmetal]

GREAT my cable reception took a dump right at the end so I had to watch the entire end sequence in silent glitchy slide-show mess. Thanks Time Warner Cable!

[Himu]

Holy shit

[Eel O'Brian]

That was some 1970s cop show shootin' there at the end

[El Babua]

Good ep. The shootout was weird though. Gonna wait till the next ep to see what they come up with before passing judgement.

But yeah, Stormtroopers with AA12's. Hank was behind the SUV but Gomie should be RIP in pieces right now.

[Phoenix Dark]

That was such a fucking half measure. It would be like if the Red Wedding ep of Game Of Thrones ended after band started playing the Rains of Castamere. smh

good episode but that could have been a series defining episode. Killing off Gomez and Hank, then ending with Walt pleading to save Jesse's life would have been a stunning end. EVERYONE knows someone is going to die in this confrontation.

If local police show up next ep and kill all of Todd's guys, I'll lose a lot of respect for this show.

[Barry Egan]

yea I have to agree, seems like they really squandered something there. 

[Tasty]

That was some 1970s cop show shootin' there at the end

It really was.

Todd looked so bored.

[Sausage]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS


  white power bros

  Gomie

[cool breeze]

yeah, I wonder if the next episode will bother showing the rest of the shootout or focus on the aftermath.  No dramatic death scenes.

[brawndolicious]

The dude with the AA12 was just firing wildly. They all were actually. I guess the Aryans don't really know who they're shooting at or why yet.

I could see the ending of the show being that Walt turns against the Aryans for not standing down and that's why he gets the M60 for his 52nd birthday. But by then he's a broken man with no family that's either in hiding or witness protection.

[Himu]

ending was shit

[CajoleJuice]

wowzer

but lol at no one getting shot that entire time

[Himu]

Why are they shooting up the car with Walt in it so bad? It looks "cool" (not really) but it makes no sense given how important Walt is to their business.

[Himu]

Also, Lydia is now my most hated BB character.

[nudemacusers]

wowzer

but lol at no one getting shot that entire time

yeah, episode should have ended with a silent standoff, and the suggestion that jesse is gonna try and bolt. bullets flying everywhere was kinda dumb.

[Tasty]

Also, Lydia is now my most hated BB character.

Lydia's still awesome.

#TeamLydia

[Flannel Boy]

Walt getting fooled by the photo and Jesse's story.  The shootout. 

[brawndolicious]

Also, Lydia is now my most hated BB character.

I'd totally hate-fuck her and let Todd watch.

[CatsCatsCats]

Walt getting fooled by the photo and Jesse's story.  The shootout. 

I, too, thought Walt driving straight there without even thinking was stupid. Of all the calculating shit he's done, he didn't think that through?

[nudemacusers]

I wasn't bothered by that aspect; walt's ego and hubris has led him into shit dozens of times before, no reason why this wouldn't be different.

obviously he gets out of this jam because of the flashforward, so I wonder how it plays out. someone has to die tho.

[Himu]

Are we watching the same show? Have you missed the point that Walt DOESN'T think things through and has just been lucky?

[Himu]

Also, Lydia is now my most hated BB character.

I'd totally hate-fuck her and let Todd watch.

Todd has so many quirks. The lipstick, the way he shoots a gun, all that shit. Kid is just fucked up.

[Vizzys]

i love meth damon

Still would have been more in character for him to at least ask Jesse where he was. I'm no Walt stan, but he's more clever than to fall for that. I also would have expected Huell to be less gullible. In that world when someone tells you not to contact anyone else, it's a pretty clear move to keep you from gathering important information. For him to just take a cops word for it is ridiculous.

[meni stronk]

Walt is a dumbass, nothing new. Huell folding felt like the bigger contrivance but I guess we can just chalk that up to him being a stupid uninformed bodyguard

[brawndolicious]

What else would Huell do? Walt and Saul killing Jesse was inevitable and the only other way they could know about Brock is if they had Walt dead-to-rights by bugging his phone.

I wonder if there was some foreshadowing with how both Lydia and Skylar are concerned with the branding of their products? That seems to be the type of thing the show's writers pay attention to as they used to paint the characters by what car they drove (Walt really became evil after he gave up the Aztek).

[Himu]

I thought the branding thing was just to show how even illegal activities still use standard business practices such as brand recognition. It's just used to draw a parallel, at least that's what I think.

[brawndolicious]

Maybe, the appeal of meth is you can synthesize it anywhere and maybe the only reason it gets shipped all the way to eastern Europe is because it's the blue stuff.

[Polari]

Oh boy. What. An. Episode.

Like damn. I thought the shooting was good because it made the cliffhanger all the more effective.

[Tasty]

Dat Awesome-o salt.

[Himu]

The moment where Todd's uncle showed up was probably one of tv's biggest "fuck yeah!" moments ever though.

Until they started to shoot at Walt, right?

[Phoenix Dark]

You mean an episode that was a complete cop out full of questionable logic confirms it's the GOAT show?

[Tasty]

s4 finale made it GOAT candidate but s5 has dropped it a couple pegs since then.

So much rushing and plot contrivances.

[Phoenix Dark]

So far this second half is arguably the worst season since S2 IMO.

[nudemacusers]

I do agree that it feels kinda rushed/contrived, maybe the flashfoward was a bad idea? They have, what, three more episodes?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

This season is sucking ass.  It's taking way too long to make any kind of plot advancements.  There are only three episodes left.  Given the starting scenes of S5-1 and S5-2, they'd almost have to cram a shitload of plot to get to those points.  So I suspect a lot of good, exciting shit is going to get rushed because Vince Gilligan really needs to let us know that Walt is a bad guy.

I agree with whoever said the end part of Season 4 was the best.  Season 4 reigns supreme.

[Polari]

The "Better Call Saul" spin-off from "Breaking Bad" has just moved one step closer to reality, as AMC has signed a licensing agreement with Sony (the studio that produces and owns "Breaking Bad") for the spin-off — which will be "a one-hour prequel that will focus on the evolution of the popular Saul Goodman character before he ever became Walter White's lawyer."

[Phoenix Dark]

S3 is still my favorite, although 4 was great too. The first half of S5 was damn good, especially the stuff with Mike and the finale. But this season just feels like it's speeding and being incredibly slow at the same time, I can't really describe it. The emotional confrontations I've waited for since S1 just didn't impress me that much. And while last ep was overall a good ep...the ending left a really sour taste in my mouth.

If local police show up to save the day I'm going to lose a whole lot of respect for the show. Killing Hank/Gomez would have made so much sense. I was entirely convinced it was going to happen, after Hank's conversation with Marie. Obviously it can still happen next episode but I just felt this was a cop out.

if hank and gomez are dead, ep should have ended with that. I don't see any other out, why would 4-5 thugs NOT kill two cops (and jesse, even) in the middle of nowhere? meth damon clearly doesn't give a fuck who he offs.

[Himu]

First half of s5 is great. second half is rushed to shit with the occasional good moment. best season of BB is season 4 easy.

[Himu]

Tonight we continue the adventures of Meth Damon. Can't wait.

[brawndolicious]

Vince Gilligan (show creator) says tonight's episode is the best episode of the series.

[Tasty]

Probably gonna be a 6 month timeskip or something.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

it's Rian Johnson directed!

[Eel O'Brian]

goddamn that was brutal

[cool breeze]

Todd is so weird

[CatsCatsCats]

Wow dude, wow

[Tasty]

Walt's breakdown and reveal as a complete, utter, and pathetic sociopath is glorious.


at people who were using him as a role model like Puddles.

[archie4208]

That was probably the best thing I have ever seen on a television screen.

Holy shit.

[Eel O'Brian]

Walt's breakdown and reveal as a complete, utter, and pathetic sociopath is glorious.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

to be fair, he was doing a pretty selfless thing with skyler, he knew there were cops on the line

[close]

[Beezy]

I don't even know what to say.
