I don’t think it would either, but instead of “look at me with the dead bad guy” it could be “look at me with one of the cartel guys (a rival)”.
I doubt it but I could see it just getting tossed in a folder somewhere, it’s just so unprofessional.
I think the DEA gung-ho’s on the show probably pull stunts like that all the time. They didn’t act like it was anything out of the ordinary.
I was waiting for them to show us one of those plastic barrels in the trunk of Walt’s car after the meeting with Saul and Jesse in the desert. But it might have been too similar to Walt re-pocketing the ricin vial after his tea with Lydia.
I was hoping Jesse would suddenly stop and the camera would pan to show us Walt Jr. sitting at the table, cereal bowl in front of him, eyes wide and mouth agape while his half-raised spoon slowly dripped milk. Credits.
Couldn’t kill Hank either.
I don’t think he’s really passed the moral event-horizon. The only people he’s killed have been active in the drug ring (though he did watch Jane die without helping her).
And Skyler Skyler Skyler.
It’s with an “e”, people, stop writing “Skylar”. It gets on my nerves.
This chess match with Hank is another nice illustration of what Walt has done to his family, by the way. Walt and Skyler lied to Marie, and now they’re caught up in it as well.
I thought that they were driving off with the tank at the end of the opener.
I’m wondering if Todd is the way out. He starts cooking the good stuff again and suddenly you have a Heisenberg fall guy. Don’t know how that could work with the flash forwards but obviously he’ll come into it somehow.
Todd won’t be making good stuff. His shit was barely better than Declan’s and he got fired for starting a fire.
Wow. That was the best thing I have ever seen at least three times in one episode.
That said, I need some wild mass guessing.
Gus Fring was alive (unlike his partner) because the Mexican cartel boss knew who he was. Gus Fring was able to stop a full on assault by walking into it looking quite cross with the shooters.
Gus Fring has been dead for a while.
Is he going to be the interior decorator from The Sopranos who killed 16 Czechoslovakians and wandered off into the woods, or are we going to see one hell of a callback?
Except there is absolutely nothing tying Hank to anything, there is no money trail, there is no forensics evidence, there are no witnesses other than Walt. Hank takes this to Ramey, says “I found out mi bil was Heisenberg a few days ago, I confronted him. He made this to scare me, it’s not true of course and I will cooperate in any way I can. Yes, we took money, they said its was gambling winnings. How was I supposed to know otherwise? I should have come earlier but frankly I was embarrassed.” What evidence do they have that anything Walt says is true? Nothing. Meanwhile, here is a video of Walt confessing. Buys a Car wash, able to pay for expensive cancer treatment, new cars, shady lawyer, disappearing for days, video of him stealing chemicals. I guess I am alone, but I really think it wouldn’t take much investigating to realize Walt’s confession was full of shit.
Who needs a fall guy? Hank knows Walt is his guy, Walt knows that he knows, and the time of either of them convincing the other of anything else is way, way past.
He’s as guilty (in the eyes of the law) as Todd for the murder of dirt bike kid. Remember him nonchalantly whistling as Jesse looks on in disbelief? He’s looking at the moral event-horizon in the rear view mirror.
Are you asking if we’re going to find out what Gus was doing in Chile before he got into the drug business? I doubt it- it’s implied he was connected to the Pinochet government, but beyond that I think it’s more compelling as a mystery.
It’ll look different to a jury in a kingpin trial of a respected DEA agent.
Are you kidding? He is well down the rabbit hole. Brock isn’t active in the drug ring, and the relief on Hanks face when he finds out Brock is going to be ok speaks of the uncertainty he had in him living. That kid on the bike, tragic but I didn’t do it so let’s carry on anyway. Killing people is much easier if you rationalize it, he’s gotten really good at doing that which makes lying so much easier. He can certainly lie to himself now, he’s gotten so good at it.
He didn’t shoot the kid, or want him to get shot. He might be legally responsible if New Mexico is a felony murder state, but that’s hardly the same as shooting him.
Eh, part of the conceit of the show is that Walt’s some sort of super-scientist. I think if he’d meant for Brock to die, Brock would’ve died. Hank isn’t a doctor, and even the doctors didn’t know what he’d been poisoned with till he pulled through.
“What do you think, Junior? You think you’re just gonna all of a sudden break fast while I’m trying to burn your house down?”
It could well be, but with the Mexicans out of the game, Declan dead, and the Aryans making a move I think there is plenty of room for a sudden appearance of a previously unknown player that finds the intersection of a power vacuum and some revenge too tasty to ignore.
Mostly I just don’t want to give up on the promise of the “You are still alive because I know who you are” line.
