Breaking Bad 4.04 "Bullet Points" 8/7

Your post just made me think of something for Walt Jr. that would be interesting… How do you think Walt and Skyler would react to him experimenting with or becoming addicted to (blue) meth? :eek:

and wouldnt he have turned off the lantern?

Anyone know what language the subtitles in that video are? Are they even a real language?

I bet it’s klingon.

The last shot of the series finale will be Walter, Jr slowly walking away, the camera focused only on his legs, as he drops the crutches to the sides and his limp disappears.

The exact same thought crossed my mind so I googled “Klingon Alphabet”.

I don’t think it’s that.

That’s a real language. It’s Thai.

Which strikes me as kind of interesting, since, IME, karaoke subtitles are usually in Korean, not Thai.

It’s Thai script. Beyond that I’m not sure.

Why? I haven’t done karaoke so I couldn’t say but why would they be in Korean unless it’s recorded in Korea?

Given the Thai subtitles, I would have assumed that he recorded it in Thailand.

I think it will end with him looking at blue snow falling in a snowglobe that’s a promotion from Pollos Hermanos. You’ll find out in addition to having CP he’s autistic, and his dad Walt Sr. is getting off duty as a fast food clerk whose teenaged boss (Jesse) is going off on him.
OR

It will end with Walt being shot. The screen goes black. Then a bedside light comes on and Bryan Cranston says “Honey… wake up! I just had the wildest dream!” A lamp is turned on at the other side of the bed as Jane Kaczmarek says “Go back to sleep Hal, I’m not in the mood!”

I think the reason the whole story about Walt having a gambling “addiction” and being “terribly, terribly ashamed” doesn’t make sense because Skylar wrote it. She’s just taking what she wants to hear him say about cooking meth (and nonstop lying) and swapping in gambling.

I don’t see why Gus and Co. wouldn’t just kill Jesse and make it look like an overdose. Sure, Walt may wonder a little, but there’s hardly anything suspicious about an out of control drug addict dying from a drug overdose.

My guess for the start of the next episode (having purposely not watched any previews): Walt is going to start tearing apart the lab in front of the camera until someone comes in and addresses his concerns.

On the contrary, I think the credibility of Skyler’s gambling fiction hinges on Walt being ashamed of the addiction. She not only has to explain how they can afford to purchase the car wash, but also why Walt had his “fugue” state and why he was distant and confrontational after his cancer went into remission. Then, of course, it also explains why they were entering into divorce proceedings and why Walt can never play cards again.

Yes, being ashamed explains all that, but there’s no credible reason for Walter for being ashamed in the first place. He used his skills to come up with a new systems to win at Blackjack and cleaned up. Who would be ashamed at that?

Heh, that reminds me of when in the first or second episode, Sklyar telling Marie that she was writing a book but was having trouble finding a publisher.

The point that Skylar was just writing lines she wanted Walt to really feel makes sense. And of course, Walt’s changes are all about him getting to say what he really feels.

Ultimately, the story Skylar made up is getting pretty convoluted. Better to keep the story vague, yet plausible so that others could supply the details themselves. After all, if they ever get to the point where Hank is looking deeply into their story, the screwed whether it holds together or not.

He gambled their life savings without Skyler’s knowledge, and lost most of it, according to the story, before he made it back; he lied to his family about where he was and what he was doing; his actions broke up his family. All of it because of his “gambling addiction.” What reasonable person wouldn’t be ashamed?

I kept thinking if Walt really wants this lie to work, forget the dialogue, be silent and make the other people uncomfortable.

So, Mike worked for Saul and also for Gus and that’s how Saul hooked up Walt and Gus- is that right? Or did he work for Saul and then defect to Gus?

and like that…he’s gone.

I figured it was always Gus and then some work for Saul as freelance. But yeah, I think that’s how Saul got Walt in contact with Gus.

This episode’s opening just brings me back to the same question I’ve had since the middle of Season 3. What’s the cartel trying to do? If they are trying to take out Gus, he doesn’t seem that well-protected. New Victor is watching Jesse or Walt. Mike’s a truck sentry. So Gus should be alone in the open working the register at Los Pollos. If they’re just sending a message, what is it and what’s the point?

So the notebook reveals that the lab is situated near a laundry and that the entry is from above, and that forklift could be used for transport. That should rule out small laundromats within the city and narrow focus on industrial laundry facilities nearby. Hmm.
