The fact that you haven't been should warrant you a temp ban.

The fact that you haven't been should warrant you a temp ban.

Agreed.

Just read what the guy from Variety says in the first paragraph...(dont read after that if you have not seen the show)

In a job like this, you really try to maintain a sense of cool detachment, or at least professionalism. The last thing you want to do is come across like some slavering fanboy.

Yet after watching the "Breaking Bad" fourth-season finale, about all I can say is "Wow." (Actually, my initial email to a colleague offered this two-word review: "Holy crap.")

As I've stated before, what so impresses me about the show is how series creator Vince Gilligan and his brain trust appear to write themselves into a corner, then somehow brilliantly -- and unpredictably -- find a way out.

or the Boston Globe

I was OMG-ing online like a little girl last night as the fourth-season finale of "Breaking Bad" exceeded even my high expectations. On most shows, the characters change in the tiniest increments if at all over an open-ended run, offering endless variations on essentially the same crime-solving exploits or sitcom capers.

Naming the episode Face Off.

Gilligan, you crafty bastard.

 

[Crockett]

I just watched the season finale and holy ****!!! Every season always manage to top the previous ones. Now how Walt actually manages to get the poison to Brock is for a different discussion but bottom line it's that he has really crossed the line. Loved it, what a ****ing brilliant show.

ESPN must be fans of the show

[Crockett]

What ever Gus was back in Chile wasn't revealed in this season so I have a feeling it'll bite on Walt's ass in the next season.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

I went literally ape*** crazy on this episode. That was a ****ing awesome (that's a gross understatement!) finale and I can't hardly wait until season 5 starts.

Delighted to hear the song Black played in the episode.

 

[Crockett]

Haha, an Imdb member spotted this, a pic from the first episode of the fourth season.

I love the clues like this that they put in the show.

 

[The Demon's Head]

Any predictions for S5?

I think Brock will identify Walt, thus setting up Walt Vs. Jesse, with Mike siding with Jesse.

 

[L.A.]

I'm curious why Mike was MIA...he's always been by Gus side it seems like at all time...

 

[Crockett]

Well, he wasn't in any good shape after the shootout when they escaped from Don Eladio's mansion and the doctor said Mike have to stay there a week, nothing he can really do about it.

Walt poisoned the little kid. He was spinning his gun when he spotted the plant. He had Saul's guys do it. The lady destroying the paper's in Saul's office was destroying a school schedule. They poisoned him at school.

He was shot up in Mexico.

Any predictions for S5?

I suppose for the final season we can look forward to Walt cooking meth out of his car wash, his cancer returning, Hank continuing his investigation into the ever elusive Heisenberg, and Jesse finding out about Brock and Jane and subsequently going up against Walt.

i just assumed he would recovered from his wounds by now

So he had a school schedule 3 stacks of paper long?

I guess I didn't really look properly at the papers the lady shred.

i just assumed he would recovered from his wounds by now

We don't know for sure the time frame but we can assume the other episodes happened in a few days, perhaps not enough for Mike to recover. Anyway Gus has Tyrus and that other guy he can use for backup.

 

[Poeman]

Time magazine has a really good interview with Vince Gilligan that touches on Walt becoming Scarface.

And also tells you what sort of direction Vince is thinking about going in for season 5. For sure, Hank will play a huge role

F*** me I didnt even notice that. Holy crap.

 

[TLH]

The final season will definitely refine the focus to Walt vs. Hank and/or Walt vs. Jesse

As for the finale, AMAZING if a bit obvious. Nothing really shocked me but I guess that was probably my fault; when you post on these forums you're exposed to so many theories that nothing comes out of left field. The only thing that surprised me was that it wasn't ricin that poisoned Brock. Still I'm left with a few questions: where was Mike? How did Walt pull off poisoning Brock? Especially the second question, although that'll probably be explained in a Season 5 episode opening. Crawl Space still stands as the best episode of Season 4.

Also, given Villigan saying how much we'd hate Walter by the end of the season, I really don't. If the kid died, then probably, but he was so bad ass. See GIF above. Would've loved to have seen the Heisenberg hat.

Still, amazing end to the best season of the best show ever.

 

[MadVillainy]

He poisoned an innocent kid. IMO I dont like him.

Great character. Amazing actor. But I hate Walt. I havent even liked him since earlier in the season.

Back in S1 S2 and 3, I thought he was bad ass. When he quit the car wash, took care of that kid who was making fun of his son, I forget what it was but when he threw that thing down on the ground that exploded, taking care of the twins.
