I think it will take more than Hank to snap Jesse out of his stupor. I wonder how he would react if he found out his kid brother was doing meth.
Who will tell Walt Jr what his father has been up to?
Skyler, by spelling it out in bacon.
Jesse already knows his kid brother is a junkie because he took the blame for the joint his parents found
Maybe he and Omar can have a bad-ass contest.
A marijuana cigarette doesn’t even come close to making someone a junkie.
I don’t know if this was posted upthread: If Breaking Bad Took Place on Facebook.
You’re right. I wasn’t thinking. But I think my point still holds. Even if he didn’t know that they were paying for his therapy he did know that the Whites had come into big money, and he did buy the gambling story. So when everything comes out, Hank’s going to look like he’s either a fool or a liar.
You know, I was seriously thinking earlier today about how awesome the GoT Facebook recaps were, and wishing we had Breaking Bad facebook recaps. And speak of the devil, we do!
AM I THE ONLY ONE AROUND HERE WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT MIRANDA RIGHTS?!
Not quite up to the GoT quality, but still fun.
How long ago (in show time) did Walt kill Mike? It’s only been a few days or weeks right? I found it kind of chilling how casually he joked with Saul about it. “I’ll send YOU to Belize”.
He was kind of upset that he killed Mike for basically no reason when he realized he could get the list from Lydia. In a few short days a murder has become an inside joke.
What’s Walt’s body count up to now? The guy tied up in the basement, the junkie chick, the two guys he ran over, and now Mike. Any others i’m missing? He orchestrated Gus’s death but I’m only counting ones he did personally.
How many has Jesse killed? Only Gale right?
This question isn’t specifically about this episode (and apologies if it has been asked and answered elsewhere…), but…
The M60 is a military weapon, right? As in, it’s not really for home defense - it’s designed to take down big targets and/or things that are far away and/or lots of things at once. What situation would necessitate a weapon of that calibre, compared to (say) a shotgun or an uzi? Surely if all Walt needed to do was kill a few people he could have done it with a less dramatic and expensive (and easier to use) weapon.
(I don’t know anything about guns, BTW)
I think it’d be a perfect weapon for an ambush on multiple people. If 5 or 10 people are meeting to do a drug deal, and your laying on your stomach hidden a good distance away, you could probably kill all of them before they could escape.
It’s been a couple of months, unclear how long exactly. Mike was killed at the end of 5-7, and in 5-8 we had the shanking, followed by the nice “Crystal Blue Persuasion” montage that showed the passing of quite some time, during which Walt amassed his 500 million and Holly grew up a lot. Only after that did Walt decide to quit the game. Still, that’s pretty cold, and I’m not sure how jokingly Saul took that remark…
Where are you getting the 500m number for what was in the storage room? Did they say it somewhere in the show?
Jesse also killed the cartel gunman who shot Mike in Salud (Season 4 ep. 10).
Someone used the number upthread, and I believe it’s been discussed in previous threads. IIRC, Skyler says she thinks it’s in the hundreds of millions.
And it wasn’t even really clear that he was just joking.
That was an incredible moment. I exclaimed loudly when it happened.
Didn’t he kill a couple of henchmen in the super lab when he went to get Jesse and torch the place?
No, Walter shot them both. The one’s last words, to the other one: “You got a problem taking the stairs?”
I don’t think it’s that much money. For example, this site has an illustration of $100 million, shown on a standard-sized pallet about four feet high. The cash in the storage space looked like it was about two feet high and about the length and width of a king-size bed. So I’d estimate about $200 million.
Actually, the official answer is more like $80 million (as it’s not all hundred-dollar bills). Here is a “making of” video, the caption for which says, “The cast and crew of Breaking Bad shows you how to bury 80 million dollars in the desert.”
