Breaking Bad ***SPOILERS INSIDE***

[yk9001]

If you just watched your first episode and liked it, please do yourself a favor and don't go to these type boards.  You don't want spoilers.

Ha! Great scene! Skyler takes the bottle of liquor and leaves.

the pizza on the roof was awesome

Watching through the first half of this season again, it's interesting how many times the Walt Whitman book appears before it shows up in the bathroom with Hank. We see Walt setting it on the nightstand in the first or second episode as he's moving his stuff back in to the house, and then there are a few other shots of it during the next handful of episodes. He's even reading it at one point.

[Brandon]

Hmmm, I don't remember but think you're right Taylor. I know it's the first think you see in the final episode as it's sitting there in the basket on the toilet as Walt is in the shower.

[Agalloch]

I just started watching last month and really regret it, I wasted all this time not watching this show! I just finished season 3 and my goal is to catch up by the time the new one airs on Sunday. Already one of my favorite shows!

[NrM]

I just rewatched the 1st half of the 5th season last week.

 

I didn't realize how awesome it was until I watched it again. So many things took place in just 8 episodes. There were no filler episodes.

[Brandon]

There's only one way to get pumped for Sunday, a middle school musical:

 

[mancini79]

B, that was hilarious!!

[Brandon]

Yeah, I was shown this last night and laughed pretty hard.

[HaloMilliVanilli]

I'm pretty pumped for the new episodes, but am trying to talk the wife into delaying watching them for a month while we rewatch the first 4 1/2 season.  This show is worth the rewatch.

[Vernster52]

OK I'll ask the question -

 

Marie?  Or Skyler?

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Why choose?  Have yourself a sister-threeway!  If I have to choose, I'd likely go Skyler.

[Brandon]

neither

[HaloMilliVanilli]

Come on Brandon.  You are going to abstain?  Last 2 women on earth and you've got to nail one of them?

[Brandon]

they aren't attractive at all. and both annoying.

I'd rather beat it raw and pour gasoline on it, then eat an organic poppy seed bagel.

[Taylor]

Didn't expect a Hank/Walt confrontation so soon. Gnar.

 

"I don't know who you are anymore. I don't know who I'm talking to right now."

"If that's the case, Hank, and you don't know who I am... then maybe you best tread lightly."

[Brandon]

Yeah, they kind of hit that aspect pretty quickly.

 

They wanted you to go down a Skyler path of bringing him down, but I never bought it. It's kind of a knee jerk reaction based on the episode, but I always thought Jesse would have something to do with his demise.

 

Seeing the house tagged with Heisenberg was a trip. It's like the first episode of the season with the future look, but the cat is out of the bag.

 

These last seven episodes are going to be intense.

[mancini79]

Awesome start to the final 8. I too was a bit surprised how quick the Hank/Walk confrontation happened. But I guess with only 7 more episodes, there really isn't time to draw anything out. This is going to be a fast paced finale, kind of like the entire series.

[bloodbrother]

I love how quickly they set things up. Get right to the confrontation with Hank/Walt. Those last 6 minutes or so were awesome. Another badass line from Walt: "tread lightly"

Also, I like how Walt is becoming more and more like Gus. The way he discussed things with Lydia at the car wash reminded me of the times Gus and Walt talked at pollos hermanos. Of course, the big one that stood out was Walt turning on the water and placing a towel on the floor when he went to puke in the toilet.

As much as I enjoyed the confrontation between Walt and Hank, the flash-forward has me the most interested.  It seems to imply that Walt (with hair, no less) survives all of this.  As much as I expect him to die at the end, I would dig it if they find a way to keep him going.  

[Brandon]

There's a lot of good reading out there. I read some Q&A yesterday with Vince Gilligan that kind of goes over the episode and direction for the finale. Looks like with seven episodes left they are hitting quick and hard, but aren't close to done yet. Looks like there is still a lot more to get to and every episode will be like this one of tying up loose ends.

[Adam]

You can't be a baddass monstrous murdering drug lord and have a family. I have to think Skyler & Flynn get taken out by either Walt or the "competition" (new cartel gnarns or Todd and co.)
