Lydia isn’t a sociopath. If she was then she wouldn’t have any trouble looking at the consequences of her actions. Speaking of her actions, though, I have to question the wisdom of going into business with Todd and his merry band of face-swastikaed prison folk. Is the jump from Declan’s 68% purity to simple Todd’s 74% purity worth this risk? Unless she’s counting on the Nazi hillbillies to “convince” Walt to cook again. In which case maybe she is a sociopath after all.
ETA: I loved the detail that Todd started a fire on his second or third cook. He really needs to apply himself.
Yeah. 74% plus a fire hazard still isn’t good enough. She’ll still need Walt, Jesse or both. I’m guessing the Nazi gang will be paying them a visit before long and giving them an offer they can’t refuse. Well, maybe it’ll be a bit tricky to get to Jesse, if he’s in the slammer.
This would be a pretty good time for Walt to take Saul up on the “disappearing” offer. I’m a bit surprised that they didn’t bring that up again in this episode. Or did I miss it?
That’s right. He broke his neck and Skyler visited him in the hospital. Ted was petrified of her and promised to keep his mouth shut if she would leave him and his family alone.
So Walt Jr. (the most underdeveloped character in a TV show who ever got to sit with the main cast at Comic-Con) is the only one in the inner circle who hasn’t been clued in at this point?
I’m picturing him walking into the wrecked White house from the flash-forwards, opening a cupboard and going “hey… where’s my cereal?”
Dad. Daaddd. Dad? Mom did you kick dad out again? Why do you have to be so mean to him all the time? Don’t you know his cancer is back? He’s really sick. Fine I’ll just sit in my room and listen to the radio. Hey, who was going through all my stuff, I told you not to go in my room.
Why on earth would Walt bury ALL of the crates in the same location? I was expecting a montage of him going from desert to desert dropping them and then moving on, not a fade to dark and ONE giant hole!
My guess is they kidnap Jesse and threaten Andrea and Brock to convince him to cook. It doesn’t seem like Walt will touch Hank or Sky, so I’m guessing the big ol’e gun is for rescuing Jesse. Science will be involved, somehow.
Part of me wants to forget about BB until the last episode airs so I don’t have to suffer through the cliffhangers. But speculating is half the fun.
If I were them, I’d look for another person like Gale; someone who has chemistry training and preferably experience in small-scale manufacturing. Surely they could put up the job listing on Monster.com or Craigslist.
(And actually, wasn’t that the reason that Gus funded scholarships at the state university; so that he could meet chemistry students and identify ones who could be employed.)
But does Lydia even know how good a meth cook Jesse is? She knows he was Walt’s assistant but not necessarily that he whipped up a kick-ass batch in Mexico by himself. At any rate, she most certainly doesn’t know anything about Andrea or Brock. I think they’ve safely moved on.
Also, I don’t see Jesse getting out of police custody for a while.
I don’t think this is quite right. Hank scheduled a conference call to come clean, but then he found out about Jesse. No doubt this new opportunity to bust Walt will lead to him delaying his conference call and becoming more and more implicated.
Maybe the spin-off show will be an Oscar and Felix-type comedy starring Hank and Jesse as cellmates.
I think it would be a lot easier for Fring to convince grad students to work at his clean, well-funded, cloaked in legitimate business meth operation than it will be for the Aryan Brotherhood to get someone cooking in their squalid, second-hand, Nazi meth shop.
Fair trade organic quinoa cooking Gale probably wouldn’t have gambled away his future with a bunch of prison gang members with face tattoos.
A)Since no one’s said it (out loud), we all noticed that that was a bus, right.
B)I wonder if they purposely called the episode buried and then buried both the money and the lab? That couldn’t have been an accident.
WRT Hank, on the one hand, it seems that all Jesse (or a lawyer) has to do is say 'we’re going to suggest that you knew, you knew all along, you were taking money from him for months to keep quiet etc etc etc" to shut him up. OTOH, Walt went into the DEA with a “Nothing To Lose” attitude, so it’s going to take a lot more then that to rattle his cage.
Maybe he’ll just end up killing Jesse right there in the cell, beating him to death.
I’ve really liked the season so far. The stuff with Walt and Hank; Skyler and Marie; even Lydia. Saul is still a hoot. All good stuff there. However, I really don’t like seeing Jessie act like such a mope. He’s practically catatonic. I kindof want to punch him in the face.
I sincerely hope Jesse gets to go “full Pinkman” again, and soon. Maybe working with Hank to bring Walt down? I think that’s more likely than him returning to the blue meth (helping Lydia) or scrambling to protect Walt.
