walt's attitude about the 'legacy costs' pissed me off. and mike shoulda explained it better. they cannot do business at all without paying those costs unless they wanna kill all eight of them.

another shitty thing is the split. jesse and walt are just cooking, mike is the one doing the real work. and the cooks get 2/3 of the profit? pretty terrible deal for mike imo. I can get over this though.

loved badger and skinny pete making an appearance, pete was rocking those keys.

and walt's final speech referencing icarus could be just a general observation about himself - it could be a red herring and not about mike. there's no way they (walt and jesse) could move 50 lb./week without mike, they already tried that at way lesser volume and failed terribly.

one more thing, their product should be worth a bit more now. supply and demand, there was 200 lb/week coming outta the duke - now it's just 50 lb/week, price should go up some.

The whole "there's a nanny Cam, I disabled it" thing bugged me. Mostly because during the whole setup I had been thinking about the problem of home surveilance, and how they would get around that. But I guess if the pest killers are really "Top Shelf Second Story men", they should be all over that kind of thing.

Overall a weak episode IMO, and I definitely agree that watching Breaking Bad in one episode lots is a very different experience than watching seasons altogether. DVD/streaming seasons has changed the format, and I think great shows are writing to that experience, which makes for masterful seasons, but sometimes frustrating episodes.

I hope that's the case at least.

Also, I predict skyler murdering walt in the final episode.

Didn't Saul say they have been together for 5 years? That's pretty long to be undercover for a 2 bit B&E operation.

I am in albuquerque for the week with Mrs r and this is probably the only place where the Olympics get turned off for the new breaking bad last night, LOL. I had to gi drink on the patio tho as I'm behind a few episodes

Side note, Marble brewering makes some pretty good beers

i now have the urge to sit in the middle of the audience in price is right and be a contestant

Mike doesnt let that happen.

Mike has guys. Gus had guys. Walt needs guys. He likes Lance

Why would it be stupid. Saul has been fighting these guys' court cases for 5 years. They are constantly selling inside info to theives and whatnot. It makes entirely perfect sense that the cops might wanna have a guy on the inside. Lame maybe, but not stupid.

Bio: Lance grew up as an outcast in the heart of football country. After several misguided attempts at making a name for himself, Lance finally snapped. Following a truly unnecessary killing spree, Lance fled to New Mexico where he assumed the name Todd and began a life of crime, vowing to forever hide his darker past.

Thank god I'm not a writer, this sounds way better.

Considering AMC.com as the source, I'm going to go with no.

By paying them $10k each per week ideally

30k..10k each. way more lucrative than petty larceny

Favorite possible foreshadowing of the series was when they are watching scarface and Walt says, "wow, everyone dies in this movie."

def picked up on that, even the tone he said it in was kinda off / funny.

was thinking this same thing as well.

skylar is so shook right now it is fuckin awesome to watch. die bitch.

last night's episode was amazing. my favorite episode of the season so far ainec.

does anyone think there is any chance walt doesnt get killed by the end of S5? seems like it is a given its just how that remains to be seen. If not I will be mildly upset.

Walt's cancer now is the fact that he broke bad now.

Is there anything that can put his new condition in remission? I think the death of a child could be a catalyst, but this dude is pretty warped.

PS. LOL at all of this shit happening (much less Walt's transformation) in a 1 year time frame. Cheezus.

Watching scarface he mentioned 'everybody dies'. That's what happens, mass genocide by whatever means gilligan sees fit.
