Breaking Bad

[The Riddler]

wasn't walt's meth purer than 99.1%?

 

[TLH]

I thought it was 99.7% pure. Could be wrong.

 

[Call Me Darkman]

As for the people that complain about the pacing, I almost guarantee that most of them just started watching the show recently, and went through all the seasons in a very short amount of time. Had they started watching from the beginning, they would see that the pacing is almost the same, and that the show lays it out in a very deliberate, intricate manner. I see no difference from other seasons

PLUS... the show always gets more exciting towards the end. People will stop complaining once we get to the last few episodes.

Also, I was on another forum, and someone brought up the fact that since Jesse got that text, that maybe his house was bugged, and is why the text canceled their meeting.

When I saw that scene I definitely thought Jesse's house was bugged. The timing of the text and what it said was too perfect unless someone was listening to the conversation, which makes sense.

yeah, Jesse's place has to be bugged. We've seen Mike bug houses before, and we know they were monitoring Jesse's hobo party, it's pretty much guaranteed, I think.

This comes to show how careless Walt has become. He knows for a fact that his own home was bugged once. So, why isn't he suspecting Jesse's to be bugged as well.

Then again... this is another reminder that Walt and Gus have a lot in common. When Gus was first introduced to the show, I got the feeling that 20 years earlier he was just like Walt. And the flashback is a clear indicator of that. Gus made his big share of mistakes and miscalculations as well.

Having one episode showing Walt screwing up and a flashback of Gus screwing up was definitely done for a reason. I suspect this show will end with Walt taking over the business -- but at a cost.

 

[TLH]

Another insanely great episode.

That scene with the sniper came out of nowhere and then that wicked moment when Gus walked in the line of fire. Bad ass! Also loved the tense ending. Kind of expected Walt and Jesse to finally have it out with one another.

Did anyone else actually enjoy Skyler during her scene with the investigator? Finally she does something bad ass. She's breaking bad even more now.

Walt still has his war with gus, but now he can't rely on Jesse anymore. Jesse's got huge problems now having to advise cartel cooks; Gus has got Hank closing in, the cartel problems, and Walt to worry about. Ted can't pay what he owes and that will screw Skyler and Walt over, taking everybody down essentially. Everything is starting to come together.

 

[PWN3R]

So many pulse pounding moments, not to mention Gus's, "I don't give a ****" sniper walk, and that whole ending confrontation, goodness.

Skylar's ditsy act was very cool, too. Having Jesse in Mexico is something I didn't see coming, so, yeah, this show could still go anywhere.

Gus' "Terminator" moment was incredibly badass. Skylar helping out Ted was great as well. But my god, that last scene. It was great seeing Jesse beat the crap out of Walt after treating him like **** for so long. But has Walt made himself another enemy?

I'm probably going to butcher this quote, but did anyone notice in the preview for the next episode Walt says to his son something to the effect of, "I want you to forget what you saw last night, that's not how I want you to remember me." I wonder if Walt finds out his cancer has returned?

They've got 20 more episodes to wrap everything up.

There have been a few hints since the test about the cancer returning, him smoking for instance.

 

[The Riddler]

i don't understand why everyone thinks walt treats jesse like sht for no reason?

i mean the best to save their lives is to kill gus...it's arguably the only way to get out of it all clean. jesse has had ample opportunity to do it and he hasn't. this is life and death here; walt know it's only a matter of time before he's killed. it makes sense why he'd be pissed that jesse has been meeting with the enemy and lying about it/not poisoning him.

it's unexpected that jesse is going to mexico; breaking bad really is one of the shows that can be validly deemed unpredictable.

 

[Poeman]

WOW...what an episode...The "fight" was epic, something unexpected and probably was due a long time.

Also, what an awesome moment with Gus.

COME AT ME, BRO

 

[Slick]

LOL. Gus going Michael Jackson on that punk.

Yeah but great episode and yes that fight was a longtime coming also I don't think Gus would give up too the Cartel that easy. He has a plan in motion.

yeah, i agree. in the promo, mike is heard saying something like "we all go home or none of us do." i believe gus has a plan.

He doesn't do it for no reason I guess. But Walt has been treating Jesse like he's totally and completely incompetent throughout the entire series. And several times he's been wrong to do so. Yes it's life and death, and Walt being harshly critical of Jesse is one thing, but here lately he's gotten very nasty and condescending about it. Even disrespectful. After everything Walt and Jesse have been through together, and now Walt is going to start being mistrustful of him? As I see it, spying on Jesse was a pretty big betrayal. Yes, I'll reiterate that he has his reasons, life and death, serious business, etc., but he also has more than enough reasons to trust him.

It's funny how many times Walt has chastised Jesse for being sloppy or for not doing things "right" or whatever, but the tables have turned with this whole Gus angle. Walt wants Jesse to kill him, (essentially repeating an act that clearly and obviously haunts him) but Jesse isn't doing it fast enough for him so Walt's getting antsy. He wants Jesse to rush a job that needs to be done delicately at precisely the right moment.

Plus it was just nice to see Walt get the slightest bit of comeuppance for his despicable behavior lately.

 

[The Demon's Head]

Fantastic episode. The fight was definietly one of the show's best scenes.

 

[CrimsonDeath]

Quoted for the new page. Also because I wanna try that new Blue Magic Slushee. Awesome.

wasn't walt's meth purer than 99.1%?

Just rewatched "Boxcutter," and poor departed Gale, unknowingly and inevitably steering toward his own death-controlling his own fate like Walt believes we all do- elicits curiosity and pride in Gus. Gale can guarantee Gus a proud and hard earned 96% purity, but claims Walt's meth is 99% pure, a 3% wide chasm closer to perfection, and maybe just a touch beyond that. And had Gus spared no expense for the best? Poor Gale beams excitedly at the possibility of meeting the genius chemist Walt, who eventually and without remorse would mete out death as a consequence of Gale's actions in that scene.

Another insanely great episode.

Ted can't pay what he owes and that will screw Skyler and Walt over, taking everybody down essentially. Everything is starting to come together.

Every single one can fall at any time now. The question is, who will kill who?

That "Terminator crap, walking right into the bullets," to put it almost like Jesse did, has to be one of my favorite Breaking Bad moments now. Again, my jaw dropped in this episode without fail.

The tension is so extreme in every direction, and Hank has really made such a strong come back that I hope some measure of happiness has found those who were unsatisfied with his depression at the beginning of the season. Gus and company pretty much crawling into hiding because of Hank leaves me t:. Of course though, Walt was the catalyst.

And my favorite line was Skyler going, "Don't you guys use Quicken here, because it is THE best, it's like having a calculator on your computer!" That whole scene was gold, and she really showed her brains by playing stupid there. "Right, Teddy?"

The other best line for me, "Can you walk? Then get the **** out of here and never come back." Damn.....

So many pulse pounding moments, not to mention Gus's, "I don't give a ****" sniper walk, and that whole ending confrontation, goodness.

Huh? What does this have to do with what I said?

When I said "everything is coming together" it means the major events/conflicts of this season are starting to play out towards their climaxes, starting with the Walt/Jesse fight. Don't suppose you read the rest of my post?

[Christopher Nolan]

another great episode. but i dont understand all the hype about the sniper walk of gus. he knew they wont kill him. they need him at the moment and that's his big advantage. that's why i think he choose jesse for this mission and started to keep an eye on him. he knew that walt wont play with him....so he started to get to jesse..

 

[Asgard]

Walt is such a selfish prick now. Its not like Jesse's conspiring with Gus. I mean the guy goes to bat for him and pretty much says that Gus'll have to kill him too if they decide to kill Walt.

I dont think Ive ever been as pissed at Walt as I was in that last scene. Jesse is panicking afraid for his life and pretty much begging Walt to help him out and Walt goes off on him. Im glad Jesse kicked his ass. Best part was tripping him onto that glass table.

Skylar was freaking priceless. Did not see her doing the clueless ditz act to save both their asses. That was good. I dont know about her using the drug money to help Ted though. Seems like itll lead to trouble.

Gus was pretty badass. I wonder if hes finally submitted to the cartel or if hes buying time to make his move to take them out.

^Is it just me or does that never get old?

Nope, that gif is awesome.

So... Sky gives money to Ted. Ted wants more. Skylar says no. Ted threatens to tell. Walt makes Ted dead.

?

It's my guess that Walt jr sees daddy all beat up from Jessie. I do think his scans came back positive for cancer, too.

There have been a few hints since the test about the cancer returning, him smoking for instance.

Exactly.

Nevah!

Here's the other gif I loooove.....

Especially when Walt says, "Well, what does it matter? We're both dead men anyway."

So when he gets angry at Jesse for "signing a death warrant," Walt is angry at a falsely perceived betrayal. He should have seen how Jesse stood up for him against Gus at dinner and Walt should have remembered how Gale met his end. Yet after all of it I think they will keep protecting each other. Walt is becoming more reckless, more petulant, for if he succeeds in killing Gus, there is nothing to stop the Mexican Cartel coming for Heisenberg. Unless Gus somehow takes care of them first for good.

 

[squeekness]

Nevah!

Yeah, it doesn't get old either.
