I was lucky and watched the show on my own time and stayed the hell away from everyone, so I didn't have anything spoiled. The cinematography and acting is brilliant. The camera work and the imagery....oh my god. The swimming pools are constantly showing up, the scene with Walt in the basement laughing was (imo) a coffin metaphor. Just dark and brilliant, and some of the best acting I've seen on TV. But the show is funny and has levity.
It's hard to watch Breaking Bad and go back and watch poorly acted/written shit like Chuck or The Walking Dead.
I think Mike is going to be a huge concern. Gus had a huge network of supporters, as evident by the doctor scene. He has a huge network, and I assume there is a plan in place if he falls.
The thing is they need cooks. If they don't have a supply...then Gus' empire falls apart. Will be interesting to see what Walt and Jessie do.
I think Jessie is going to...put some stuff together. I immediately thought of Jane's death after the finale, the Season 4 finale echoes Jane's death. The difference is that while Walt could have saved Jane, Jane was pretty much instrumental in her own death. This time Walt was instrumental in killing Gus. But both Gus and Jane needed to go.
They have 16 episodes to tackle:
-What happens with Gus' crime organization
-What does Hank know/what happens with Hank?
-What does Jessie figure out?
-What does Mike do?
-Skyler. She knows that Walt is a badass now. How is she going to react to that?

Walt was able to keep Jane's death from Jesse easily but Huell and perhaps Sal (giving the kid candy with the plant?) are in on the poisoning even if they don't realize their role. Jesse will piece things together. Not to mention Hank.

Teuthida was spot on with this old quote from earlier in this thread.
Im a little confused from the most recent episode exactly how or why Jessie suddenly made the connection and is so sure of it, but whatever.
And Im on the boat that I realize that Walt is the Villian, but somehow I kinda still want him to get away with it in the end. Its a strange feeling, but there is just some part of me that wants him to win.

I think when they pickpocketed him for the weed again
He realized that Sal called him to his office on the day the kid was poisoned.

Re: Breaking Bad
Okay. Finally watched the pilot. What a way to start a season. I'm actually pissed at my roommates for their hesitancy in starting this show. They're all, "wanna play zelda:TP" or, I need to finish Lie to Me, or let's just watch a 20 minute CurburEnthusiasm. Driving me nuts because the show is obviously good. Soooo good. Can't wait to procrastinate school with this one. 4 seasons wahoo
I'm trying to think of something similar in vein. Fight Club comes to mind. Epiphany moment that rattles an individual out of their self loathing career, moving towards criminality. First two seasons of weeds was cool, then it flattened.
Quick question: Have you guys seen The Wire (2002). I have read a lot of rave recommendations for that show..
^ Just finished The Wire recently. It's very good. Found it funny the last season has the actor who plays Gale and he's pitted against a man named Gus.
Don't watch if you're not caught up. Major spoilers.
The Wire is one of the best shows ever made, hands down. It's honestly essential viewing for any human being. Having said that, The Sopranos is still my favorite show, followed closely by The Wire and Breaking Bad. Potential additions to that pantheon are Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones, both of which have been amazing.
So I read something tragic, that season 5 starting this summer, will only be half of the season, like 7 or 8 episodes, and the rest will conclude in 2013!!!

Seems like trying to do a Breaking Bad>Walking Dead>Breaking Bad sandwich
