I think that final scene might be the best acting I've ever seen on television. Hank's eyes carried such depth in that scene, and the way Walt's voice drops between "would be" and "to tread lightly" made me sit up straight. This show is gaining on The Wire for my favorite show of all time.

Nice pick ups.Originally posted by fusnik View PostThe small things about the show make it great.
The parallels between Gus and Walt:
Walt treating Lydia like Gus treated Walt at Pollos
Walt folding the towel like Gus
Walt hitting up the cops on his way into Hanks house
Tracking device
Walls old Volvo like Gus Volvo
Such a nice payoff for the fans.
I loved Walts pleading with Jesse to believe him about Mike. We know that if Jesse doesn't believe Walt, Walt may have to kill him, loved that scene.
Wonder what the significance of the yellow lambo and kid playing in the front of Hanks house will be.
Geez this show is well written, acted, directed, filmed, everything. There's not a weak character on here. I used to hate Skyler but even she's become interesting. This show is damn near perfect.

Is Walt the only person who knows he actually killed Mike? (My memory isn't good enough to remember all that happened back in that episode). What did he do with Mike's body? It seemed obvious to me that Jesse both knows Mike is dead and that Walt was responsible.Originally posted by fusnik View PostThe small things about the show make it great.

The kid that took over Jesse's job (the one that shot the kid on the bike) helped him clean up the mess and get rid of the body. He knows.Originally posted by scottie View PostIs Walt the only person who knows he actually killed Mike? (My memory isn't good enough to remember all that happened back in that episode).

I'm loving this show so much. Anyone watch the Talking Bad show with the producer Gilligan. The woman from Modern Family was hilarious. Producer made another comparison to Scarface when they brought up the flash forward scene with the big gun in the trunk. My prediction is that Skylar leaves him for good and takes the kids. Walt flees to avoid being arrested. In the final episode he storms the building Hank works at and has a Scarface style shootout. The ricin is for himself to swallow to commit suicide in case he isn't killed in the shootout.
Also Gilligan gave a teaser for next episode. He said it would involve the people running Walt's former operation for Lydia that was running at 68% quality. But it didn't sound like it would be in the context of training or helping him. Gilligan called them "loose ends".Last edited by jay santos; 08-12-2013, 06:18 AM.

Great post Fus. I have always loved that everything in this show means something. Folding the towel was such a good touch.Originally posted by fusnik View PostThe small things about the show make it great.

That was incredible. As good as television gets. Normally on Sunday night I would watch Dexter too, but last night I had no desire. I knew it would suck so bad in comparison that it just wasn't worth watching.Originally posted by wuapinmon View PostI think that final scene might be the best acting I've ever seen on television.

The show is fantastic. It is on the short list of best dramas ever.

So what is the chronology we're looking at here? In the very first scene, is that before or after the Denny's scene from the season premiere? The Denny's scene was one year ahead of where season 5 started. Does being midway through the season put us six months into the timeline? So we've got another six months until the Denny's scene? If the first scene from last night is closely connected to the Denny's scene (which seems to be the case, since Walt looks the same and is carrying the gun in the trunk), that looks like a lot more than six months from now. That house was seriously overrun.So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

I thought the same, maybe this season is like a two week situation. But yes, I think your timeline is right.Originally posted by MarkGrace View PostSo what is the chronology we're looking at here?

I think it's going to end bad for Jesse. Notice how Hank said, it wasn't Pinkman who called?
I think the tracker was on the car when Walt visited Jesse and that's how Hank out it together.

Wait. Hank said something about Jesse to Walt in that last scene?Originally posted by fusnik View PostI thought the same, maybe this season is like a two week situation. But yes, I think your timeline is right.

I am trying to remember what that was referencing. Was it the scene in the old RV right before they crushed it where Hank was closing in?Originally posted by fusnik View PostYeah he said, it wasn't Pinkman who called.
I assumed at that point that the tracking device was on the car when Walt visited Jesse."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."
