Breaking Bad 24 May

:eek: :eek: :eek:

They are not exactly easing up on the throttle, are they?

I tried to watch my DVRd version of it tonight, and it’s nothing but a black screen ! :frowning:

Good thing it will show about 100 more times during the next week. :slight_smile:

Even with the foreshadowing in that ep, I didn’t see that outcome coming.

I can’t stand the tension anymore! I’m afraid we’re not going to get a resolution to the Flash Forwards come next week’s finale.

Another amazing episode.

You ain’t kidding.

BTW, Walter’s actions at the end that drew my :eek:s must constitute some kind of crime, right?

Yes, but how would anyone know a crime was committed? I doubt there would be any police involvement.

I’d give this one a B-. The writers (or Bryan Cranston) did a good job showing us that Walt felt bad about letting Jane die. But the scene with Walt and Jane’s dad in the bar was right out of network TV, like something we’d see on ER.

Another minus for the scene where Walt lays Holly on her side and makes a comment about vomiting. I guess the writers want us to know that Walt knows he could have easily prevented Jane’s death. It was a bit heavy-handed and unnecessary. And a minus for running out of diapers. No way is Skyler going to run out of diapers. Walt’s lie about three stores being out of newborn diapers was lame, even for Walt. Why not just say “I stopped for a beer, be right there.”

I do like that Walt feels some responsibility for Jessie, if a little late.

I actually thought Walt was coming back to reclaim the money. Especially when he found the incapacitated. I thought he would take the duffle bag, and hide the money again, thus initiating a major blowout with Jane.

Alas, it didn’t have to come to that.

I didn’t mind so much the foreshadowing of the vomiting, as that is a common concern with newborns and heroin addicts alike. I just didn’t really see it coming.

Also, I can forgive the chance encounter of Walt and Jane’s father at the bar. It made Jane’s death that much more poignant, IMHO. But it did feel a little forced. Especially with Walt’s lame excuses that just don’t add up. He had to have been gone for at least a couple hours. So, that’s becoming a little hard to swallow, especially since they’ve already established Skylar’s suspicion, and she’s not stupid.

Not necessarily… she landed on her back because he shook Jesse. Not sure that her throwing up afterwards makes him have a duty to help her.

I thought Walt’s attitude in the lawyer’s office was interesting when he said that he didn’t want to hide the source of the money, even when Saul suggested using the website to hide the source of it.

And I agree with cmyk that it doesn’t look likely that we’ll see an explanation for the fast forwards we’ve been seeing (unless the season-ending episode lasts two hours).

Whether its a crime or not (I think manslaugter might hold up in this particular circumstance - ?), just try and get a good nights sleep for a long time. I think that was the most shaken we’ve ever seen him.

Walt knew he could have saved her life right then and there. But he didn’t. That’s something that feels like murder, whether it’s a law or not. And Walt is not about murdering, unless provoked or in self-defense. This was the first time it was purely out of self-interest.

Jane choking to death on her own vomit was a very difficult scene to watch. What a ghastly way to die! My guess is that Walt will be helping Jessie cover up Jane’s death. If the police (or Jane’s dad) finds Jane dead in Jessie’s apartment that could lead to exposing Jessie and Walt’s drug business. At the very least Jessie will be busted. Did anyone else feel that Walt’s hiding place for his illegal loot was kind of lame? What if some insulation falls off or someone reaches behind the washer for something? The money also seems to be uncomfortably close to that new water heater that Walt recently installed. Hmmm. You’d think Walt would find a more secure place to hide $1.2M!

Jane’s careful attitude with Jesse, making sure he was on his side, had nothing to do with foreshadowing. It was the revelation that Jesse was about to be screwed out of everything. He had just revealed that someone that Jane didn’t know “owed” him $480,000. She was making damn sure that he didn’t choke on his own vomit before she could get her hands on the money.

And I assumed Jesse was dead.

And I thought this was the last episode of the series until it finished.

And much though I have loved it so far, I kind of suspect that I won’t be watching series 3. I can’t see where it can go that I would want to follow.

Why would Jane’s death expose Jesse and Walt’s drug business? Junkies die all the time. They were using heroin, not meth. I don’t think anyone would be charged with anything, and I doubt Jesse will be busted, since I’m sure he’d hide their paraphernalia before the cops got there. It’s not murder, and while possession of heroin is a crime, having used it isn’t. I think Jesse, while he will be emotionally devastated, is safe from criminal charges. Kicked out of his apartment by Jane’s father, no doubt about it.

Where will they go?

Maybe Walt can do like Earl – make a list of everyone he’s hurt and try to make things right. :wink:

Maybe he can take over since they just canceled Earl.

I was out of town two weeks ago. My DVR recorded nothing. I saw last weeks and last nights episode. Did they skip a show two weeks ago or did I miss something?

And as for last night…I was thinking “dude, fingerprints EVERYWHERE!” and if you do wipe em off, the cops will notice NOTHING is there, which will just raise suspicions. I have my own theory as to how to cover the “crime”, but I dont want to spoil anything.

I just don’t get why people keep saying this. Aside from Walt and the viewers, no one knows there was a crime committed. Jane was high on heroin and aspirated her own vomit. There was no murder, and I highly doubt the police would be dusting for fingerprints or looking for evidence that anyone besides Jesse was there. It’s really not remotely a suspicious death. Police involvement would be minimal, and if Jesse has the sense to remove his works and drugs from the apartment before the police arrive, I doubt he will be charged with anything. If he wanted to avoid all entanglements, Jesse might move Jane to her own apartment to be discovered. Other than that, I really doubt Jesse stands to be in any legal trouble as a result of Jane’s death, except for being evicted post haste.

I think that’d be the episode where Walt installed the new hot water system, and where we first saw Skyler flirting with Beneke. Did you see that one? There are episode guides at the AMC site, along with podcasts, previews, comments from the actors, etc.

thats why I put crime in quotes.

ANY thing that might get the police interest is bad news. A junkie death might do that. The girls dad is going to be looking for blood now, so he isnt going to let the police just write this one off. He knows jessie, he has SEEN walt now, but walt didnt know who HE was so walt doesnt know to try to avoid HIM. Its still a damn mess even walt had just happened to walk in 5 minutes after the puking had started and it was all said and done. Anything Walt does to try to clean this up just digs him in even deeper if he gets caught or more bad luck swings his way.
