Breaking Bad

[Non Sequitur]

The weak point in the Jesse-Huell-money thing was that Walt should have connected the dots that Jesse was likely in police custody or working with police. But I still go back to the point that Walt sometimes lets his emotions take over, and when that happens he doesn't act like the cool, calculated evil genius. And when he finds out his money is at risk, his subconscious might not ever care if Jesse is working with police. If the money is gone his life is worthless anyway.

It wouldn't make sense that Walt would suspect Jesse was working with the police. The police don't know anything. Hank is the only one that knows anything, and Hank once beat Jesse within an inch of his life. Jesse has always hated Hank. Walt would never suspect they were working together.

meh. Intentions change and alliances shift. Wasn't it Churchill (or was it FDR?) who, when considering teaming up with Russia to defeat Hitler, said: "I don't like communism, but to cross that bridge I would hold hands with the devil".

Walt may not have suspected that Jesse was working with Hank, but I don't think it out of the realm of reasonableness.

It's like Il Pad buddying up with SU to bring you down. The possibility would never occur to you.

My prediction for tonight. Marie goes down to the car wash to gloat at Skyler that Hank caught Walt not knowing that Hank died in the shootout. After they cause a scene Skyler gathers what money she has saved or hidden from Walt and calls up that vacuum repair guy and gets out of town. Jesse gets killed by Todd after a final confrontation with Walt.

I bet that while the shooters are focusing on Hank and Gomez, Jesse slides over and races off in Walt's car. If Jesse dies, I bet it will be in the last episode. Too important of a character.

Does Jesse have the keys to the car at this point? I agree with you in concept - Jesse lasts to the end - but I'm not sure that's how this goes down.

The last episode seemed to be hinting that Jesse might get out of there.

I thought that was an obvious hint. Jesse comes out of it ok. I like the prediction that skylar flees. Something separates her from Walt in these next couple episodes (if not death). Hank and Gomez are dead. Tonight will be the beginning of major conflict between Walt and the skinheads.

Three full episodes without Jesse seems like too much. That is the most compelling reason I can think of that he survives the shootout.

I withdraw all criticisms of last week's ending and chalk it up to artistic license.

WOW. Speechless.

Absolutely perfect episode.

Amen and amen. The first fifteen minutes or so were spectacularly good (and the rest was great). The flashback showed superbly how things once were, and the fade out of Walt, Jesse and the RV to the present, all with the beautiful backdrop, was breathtaking. And the image of Walt falling to the ground after losing family (Hank) and fortune tied in perfectly with the episode's titular poem. Outstanding television tonight.

I think my favorite part of the episode was watching Jesse swinging that stick in the background of the flashback while Walt talked to Skyler on the phone. Pure genuis.
