If you're talking about the final phone conversation with Skyler, at a certain point early on Skyler realizes that Walt is shifting the blame off of her and her tone of voice quiets down and she lets him do most of the talking from there on.

The guy escapes Emilio and Crazy 8, Tuco, the Cartel, Gus, the DEA, Cancer, maybe Nazis.....and he might get killed by a former junkie who flunked his class. Overdosing on irony right now, man....

thought so... thanks... after a couple of glasses of scotch after this episode and Ray Donovan i relaxed and actually saw **** going down

 

[TwoOfAKind]

What does everyone think the note say's that was left on Holly???

It's not like Walt has to leave a note for the fire department to know who's kid it is, first thing they would do is call the police.

 

[DrDoom]

You can read the note, it was their address and phone number

 

[Liam_H]

He just wanted to be sure she got home. I guess you could say there is more to the note for Skyler but the police would read it too so probably not.

Did not catch that bit.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't this the first time in the history of television that a major character died in the beginning of an episode.

i thought that bit with walt falling to the ground would have been a better ending to last episode.

Really? I am actually glad they went against the tv norm and still had enough material to keep the audience engaged. Walt falling to the ground would have been fine but quite conventional.

but think of the bit that immediately follows...

PINKMAN...

that would have been intense enough of an opening episode IMO

 

[redhawk23]

In that phone conversation, where Walt is essentially playing it up to shift blame away from Skyler, Walt essentially becomes a satire on the more misogynist, Skyler-hating branch of the Breaking Bad fandom.

 

[stillanerd]

Wow. I'm just in utter shock after watching this episode. Just when I think there's no way Breaking Bad going to top what came before, it somehow manages to do it. I mean, when they kill Hank within the first ten minutes, you're thinking "there's no way anything else can top that scene." Then comes Walt's confession to Jesse about Jane...Walt Jr. learning the truth...Jesse becoming "Meth Damon" Todd slave...Walt and Skylar struggling for the knife...Holly's abduction...Walt's phone call...I don't think I ever reacted so vocally towards a television show that many times in my life. I mean, we all knew it was going to fall apart for Walt but DAMN did it ever! Although Jack and his neo-nazi thugs have NO idea what they have just now unleashed, cause they haven't even BEGUN to see the full wrath of Heisenberg yet.

Didn't The Sopranos do that with Christopher?

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Maybe the last two episodes take place in the flashforward time the first episode did. Hank got away, and comes back for something Jesse related. To wrap it up.

Hank ain't gonna be doing much of anything....

Nah, I think that's who he's going to go rescue.



Conspiracy Theory Time

For the longest time I've been saying that something is going to go down with Walter Jr. and possibly Holly with car, likely something terrible.

The show spent quite a bit of time early on with the issue of Walter Jr. learning to drive and then as the series went on that became a chip for power ploys between Walt and Skyler (the issue of what car Flynn should have, buying his support with fancy cars, making Walt take the car back etc).

And then in the lead up to Skyler jumping the pool (or was it a different episode?) Walter Jr is pushing Holly in the toy car.

Now in this episode they reiterate Walter Jr not wearing seat belts.

No good will come of this.

 

[Liam_H]

So does Marie spray Heisenberg on the wall now after she thinks Walt killed Hank. Or maybe even Walt Jr.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Didn't The Sopranos do that with Christopher?

Yeah, Matt posted about that awhile back. It's happened before, I'm sure, but I can't think of another example.

So this episode, in a way, almost feels like an ending to me. It's like, if they decided to leave it right here and this episode was the finale, it would work fine (outside the stuff with Jesse, that would just be cold as ice). Obviously, that's not happening, so I'm curious what it is that brings Walt back. It's obviously either finding out what happens with Jesse and feeling regretful about it, or the Neo-Nazis for whatever reason mess with Walt's family, though I couldn't imagine why they would do that. Interesting to see what happens now.

But that is what made the episode so great. You would think the tension would die to down after hank's death, yet with Walt pointing out Jesse to the Nazis, the show just goes to show how unpredictable it is.

Why would anyone in the family vandalize a home he no longer lives in?

 

[JaD]

Someone made a really good point earlier about how most of us knew Hank and Gomie [BLACKOUT]were goners. But you didn't want to believe it until it actually happened. I mean, Gomie was already down during the start of the episode, damn. This episode was a lot to handle.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[hobo123]

I have yet to see the Sopranos so I i'll just pretend I never read this post.

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, I don't get why there's any real speculation as to who or why Heisenberg was spray painted on Walt's old home walls. I just took it to mean that the secret of who he really was got out, and the place had been abandoned and people had been messing it up, like the skateboarders in that same scene. Walt probably is like a psuedo-urban legend at that point.
