Walt for instance... I mean what do you want? he is a school teacher that later in life, very pragmatically, realized the true state of his situation and did something about it, in a way that doesn't have to convince us that the sky isn't blue, and that teachers are the moral standard of our society.
Jesse, he aggravates the shit out of me, and that's a pretty good depiction of someone of his type...he is not likeable because he is really not supposed to be. There was no grand intervention when he went into business with Walt... he didn't evolve, he is still a fucking punk with glimpses of humanity and redemption that will never prevail.

If anything, Gus and Mike are the most fictitious characters on the show...figures.
Questioning the choice of these characters, only goes to show you that you might just be missing the point of this show. Go watch Weeds instead.

Good episode, Gus is a baller, visiting Tio just to torment him.

Also I had the most fucked up dream last night. Morbidly obese John Goodman lured the Cerebral Palsey kid from Breaking Bad into cockolding his equally morbidly obese wife. Words cannot express the horror.

Oh and fantastic episode. Those last 10 minutes were pure Breaking Bad and prove that this show is still the best on TV.

He's a badass. And I bet he's gay.
Anyway, it would be sad to lose Mike. He's one of my favourite characters in the show. Gus will make it, I'm quite sure.
Or will Jesse kill and bury both of 'em in the desert before crossing the border back home?

I don't think he will. I think he has more loyalty to them because they are treating him like a real man and seem to have his back. Walt takes care of him but he still has that disapproving father figure vibe, especially after their fight. Plus by coming through for them like this he should be set. Great episode.

tbh I also think he won't. Yes, imo best episode up to now in s4.
What about Ted Bernanke? Not sure he will survive. He had his nose being stuck into the sudden fortune of the White family. Skyler's time of breaking bad?

I read that Rage is referred in two Breaking Bad episodes and that Rage itself will have references to Breaking Bad as well.

idk. I would, but it's not something I think about. Jesse's junky girlfriend was more up my alley physically.

Yea he was playing it one episode, it was paused in the background on another, and you actually saw the game case on another.

Once again, the last 15 minutes of this episode proved that Breaking Bad is the best TV show, bar-none. Just phenomenal and Bryan Cranston probably just secured himself yet more awards for those last few scenes alone.

Seeing Walter on the back foot, desperate and pushed into a corner.... shit is most certainly about to get real.

I really think that Aaron Paul (Jesse) is a far better actor. Well, either that or the writing for Jesse is just much stronger than for Walt this season. Walt's really starting to piss me off, half the problems that have occurred on the show are due to him shooting his mouth off or being a paranoid retard.

I really like the way Jesse's character has developed and the tables have turned. Now he's the one keeping Walt alive even though he hates him.

And Gus? Gus is a stone-cold fucking badass.

anyone else reckon that Hank's already onto Walt?

He's a smart man, and there are plenty of clues.

i doubt it. It's one thing being "on to" him and quite another having the balls to parade around with him and making his investigation on them apparent, well knowing that "they" including Walt could take him out at any point.

First part, takes smarts... the second part takes balls, and a tremendous level of arrogance and confidence. I think he does not posses the later to any noteworthy degree...if it ends up that you are correct, the continuity of the character would be greatly challenged.

Hank doesn't have big balls?? wtf show have you been watching? Remember him taking out keith jardine & co without his weapon, or how he nailed tuco, or how he took care of the two mexican brothers?

ah, yes. I still feel that it would seem too much of a 007 thing to do. You know, assuming that his brother in law won't choose to make him disappear. After all, he knows what "these people" are capable off.

I think he's had a strong hunch for a while, and has been running experiments with Walt to see how he reacts. This last laundromat "test" gave the game away for sure.

Walt being a retard gets himself into the shit again. Show is amazing. Fuck off Dexter.

I suspect Hank will either be the hero at the end of the series or he'll be killed off at the conclusion of this season.

This.
Maybe now that he's completely at rock bottom he'll start doing brilliant things to get back in control. Hope so, this Walt is not so much fun.
Also, yes i too think Hank is on to Walt. It'll end up with Walt killing him fo sho :)

Holy shit what a tense episode. Did gus deliberately poison the kid as the "measured response", or could it have been the kid just wanted to smoke and picked the wrong one?

I initially thought the latter, but switched to the former by the end. Either way, don't expect any more slow-paced episodes. It's war.

iirc walter put the rizin powder in a small glass ampul. So the kid couldn't simply smoke it by accident. Can you get an (lethal) effect from smoking rizin anyway?
