    The flash forward is a year from the first episode of season 5, not the point he told Hank.
    One of those Grantland commentaries mentioned that the whole show was to have taken place in roughly a year's time, which made them balk at the mention of Bin Laden's death (since it should still be like 2009 or so). Not sure whether that mention was the screw up or whether their timeline is nonsense.

      One year is not accurate. I think it's two or two and a half.
      So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

          Gilligan said 1 year and about 4-5 months have gone by to this point in the insider podcast this week.

                Right, but we know it will be at least 2 years, based on the flash forward to the diner.

                  Yes, that and the fact that Walt needs time in N.H. to re-grow his hair and plan his... whatever it is he's planning.
                  Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                      Okay, my daughter is allowing me to use her netflix account, so I watched the first two episodes of the first season of Breaking Bad. When does it get better? I won't give up on it, as folks here really like it, so there must be something about the show that makes it worth the watch.

                      I will say that the first minute or so was great, as it looked like something right out of Malcolm in the Middle - getting chased by cops while driving an old motor home and wearing nothing but tightie whities and a gas mask?

                        I agree with IPU it took about 4 episodes before I even cared. I am in the middle of season 2 and its starting to get better.

                            Hang in there. It gets better and better every season.

                              Will do.

                              But I still liked the opening scene angle. All it needed was for Lois to show up and ask what Hal was thinking.
