Breaking Bad - Part 8

[JaD]

I'm still not sure I understand what you mean. Are people really underestimating that he's the man who can get a plan?

Underestimating Saul in that he could be capable of hiring a hit on one or both of them to save his own ass is what I think he means. He's the one who keeps mentioning trips to Belize

 

[Tron Bonne]

So...could that M90 be for Saul

 

[JaD]

So...could that M90 be for Saul

That would be the ultimate reveal, wasn't Saul practially Scarface in the last episode with his wardrobe? Walt might be heading for his legal office with Saul locked and loaded ready to come out guns blazin'

 

[Tron Bonne]

That'd be a pretty surreal twist to take

 

[Maximus One]

Well, he couldn't really say "Say hello to my little friend" now could he.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I think there's still a chance that Walter and Jesse form sort of alliance before the end. It just seems so weird that the show would end with them completely on opposite sides.

 

[georgec]

^ I can't see it. Jesse had it with Walt's manipulation. He broke down when realizing the truth about Brock, tried to burn his house down, and spurned what apparently was a sincere invitation to talk in lieu of issuing a threat.

There's a VIP spot in Belize for one of those two. It's just a matter of who gives whom the first-class ticket.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, with only four episodes left...I can't imagine them coming back to each other's side.

 

[Travesty]

It's going to be cool seeing Jesse's full video confession on the DVD extras.

 

[Christopher Nolan]

still waiting for alejandro sosa to step in...

 

[Brother Jack]

I think there's still a chance that Walter and Jesse form sort of alliance before the end. It just seems so weird that the show would end with them completely on opposite sides.

I feel like that is the natural trajectory of their relationship. Walt has been systematically losing allies with Hank and Marie and there was only so much abuse Walt could heap on Jesse before he either withered and die or exploded and turned on Walt. The irony is that this episode proved that Walt did care enough for Jesse not to murder him but Jesse rejected it.

 

[Christopher Nolan]

walter was naiv when he thought that talking to jesse would resolve the problem. saul made it clear to him in the car. jesse is out for blood...

 

[Bruce Malone]

So did Marie decide to go to a different hair-stylist or something? because it's working.

Honestly she's probably the only character to look better now than at the start of the series. Everyone else is looking a little worse for wear understandably.

I remember my brother pointing out that Hank lost weight since the early part of the show. I see it too.

 

[Bruce Malone]

Yeah that's true but the affect of that is his face looks a little harder/gaunt now. It all works for the character though, especially in that close-up shot to when he had that stare down with walt.

 

[Travesty]

Have you guys read this speculation?

2) The Pinkman Book Club
It's not at all coincidental that the random tome that Jesse plucked from Hank's shelves to fake-read before taping his tell-all about Mr. White was Dutch, Edmund Morris’s controversial "biography" of Ronald Reagan in which the author told the President's life story through the eyes of different fictional characters. After all, this whole half-season has been dominated by people spinning lies and half-truths about others. If Jesse ever sat down to actually read Dutch, he’d probably find a thesis paper's worth of material in there. That is, if he survives long enough to go to college, which he almost certainly won't. (Also sitting on that shelf? A box set of Deadwood, to complement the Treme and Wire references . Is Gilligan subtly telling us he's setting his next show up at HBO? Or maybe he’s just joining the Veep writing staff?)

[Bruce Malone]

I was more impressed that the Schraeders own the Deadwood complete series, good taste in shows there. I guess them owning the complete series of the Wire might have been too on the nose, seeing as BB gets compared against that show quite a bit.

 

[Sawyer]

There was a Treme reference? And people caught it?......... Enough people watched Treme to know when something is referencing it?

 

[Maximus One]

I need to watch Treme. Anyways, I think some outside forces may force Jesse and Walt back together somehow. I just feel like the last thing Jesse will ever say to Me White will be "If I ever see you again, ill kill you" or something to that effect. I dunno why I just think some serious **** is coming down from Lydia's direction.

Anna Gunn was in Deadwood wasn't she?

 

[Maximus One]

Hahaha Ted Beneke straight owned Vic Mackey in the season 6 finale of The Shield. Totally forgot about that

 

[JaD]

Anna Gunn was in Deadwood wasn't she?

I had put this up in the Movie Stuff You Realized thread but I'll put it up here too.

In the '98 film Enemy of the State with Will Smith, Anna Gunn played Jon Voight's wife and confronted him about some fishy financial dealings with their bank account. There was a similar shady financies uncovered scene in Breaking Bad in season 2 that mirrored the Enemy of the State one. I was always wondering if she had any deja vu when she was filming the Breaking Bad scene.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Had to happen. It was the ONLY way to get Gus.

Yes, it was extreme, but if someone threatened to kill not only me but my family, including my infant daughter...extreme is exactly where I'd be.

Also, Jesse owed Walt for saving his life. Say what you will, Walt would have had it made had he just sat back and let Jesse die.

More money coming in than he could spend which would have set his family up for life not to mention a MUCH more capable, knowledgeable, and skilled lab assistant in Gale who was fired to make room for Jesse, so that Jesse would not ruin Hank's life.

Some friend Jesse is.

I think it's fascinating how some people still don't see that Walt is the villain of the piece by this stage. The amount of chilling, monstrous acts that he's perpetrated, and it's Jesse's "snitching" that's a bridge too far?

And yes, Walt DID save Jesse's life, but Jesse also saved Walt's life in return. First, at the end of Season 3 when he murdered Gale - an act that just about destroyed him while Walt seems to treat killing like water off a duck's back these days - and later in Season 4 when he refused to cook for Gus unless Walt was allowed to live. The only reason Walt was alive to kill Gus was because Jesse convinced Gus to spare him.

I can't wait for episode 14 ''Ozymandias''

Vince Gilligan said that this is the greatest Breaking Bad episode ever. Maybe even better than the finale!

 

[Maximus One]

Yea for some reason I have a feeling either Walt Jr or Skyler will bite it in Ozymandias.
