Breaking Bad

Am I the only one who had no idea who Mr. Chips was, before Gilligan started referencing him in every interview? I was shocked to learn he was referring neither to John nor Ponch!

I am hopeful that Badger's Star Trek screenplay, in which Scotty stops beaming up the pies Mr. Sulu is eating in the contest and inadvertently beams up Sulu's intestines, will be optioned by one of the major studios.

Flynn!

Shit. Flynn. Isn't he Hawaiian?

Two potential endings that no one has gotten close to: (Well maybe Indy got a little close.)

In Season 5a, Jesse is trying to convince Walt to sell his 1/3 of the chemical and Walt describes that he's "not in the meth or money business. I'm in the empire building business." What was the world's most famous empire? Rome. In church we've all learned that Rome fell because of gay sex. Hank starts having gay sex. Gets aids. Dies. The last three episodes are actually quite boring. Just hanging out with the hospice nurse. Tio style.

Something really weird happens and without warning Walt's guts are floating in space. Just like Badger foreshadows.

PS. Since I'm poor at execution and have little to no self mastery, this is the order that I've seen Season 5:

Episode 1, 2, 3, last 20 minutes of 8, 9, 4, 5, 6. What a mess of a series.

Huh?

He coughs when he comes through the door of his house when the kids are skating. No one coughs on television unless it means something.

He also coughs and takes his meds while standing at the bathroom sink at Denny's in the S5E1 flash forward.

It's always fun to see how the latest male anti-hero is disposed of. Having recently finished watching "The Shield" (which isn't The Wire or anything, but still highly recommended), a Scarface ending for Walt would be pretty disappointing -- and unlikely, I'd say. Even Tony Soprano didn't go out like that. I think letting him live out his cancer-shortened life having destroyed everything he cares about would be a good way to do it.

I think The Shield had the best ending of any show, I can recall.

Finally watched the first 8 episodes of season five last night (yeah, when you do the blue you won't sleep much, yo). This show is building up to a very explosive conclusion.

Vince Gilligan says, "i'm no expert or anything, but I understand that while hair loss often accompanies chemotherapy, it doesn't always." FWIW.

Or when you don't care to live anymore, you don't do chemo, and you don't cut your hair.

That may be in the end, but... What pills was he on, then?

[woot]

off-chemo-WW struck me as looking a lot like Gordon Freeman. Then he pulled a crowbar out of his trunk. Uncanny!

(Ok it might have been a tire iron)

Jesse was trying to get arrested, right?
