BREAKING BAD!!!!!

[knell]

all the scenes that didn't involve jesse were pretty bad.

cant wait to see what the finale holds.

[borrowed]

the term cheeky tnuc comes to mind

[noam]

yea so the latest episode was crap

not even the slightest hint at closure

really felt like it stepped back about 10 episodes with this one

genuinely disappointed

you on that blue meth?
it set up so much

it went around in a massive circle and bored the crap out of me

who out of you lots even let the thought enter their head that jesse was gona actually off Walt?!? it was so predictable, as was Gus not getting into his car

predictable is fine but a show like this needs to hit you with the unexpected otherwise its boring, cos there's not really much else to it except for suspense and tension

[Genevieve]

I liked this episode a lot but they're starting to make Gus look like superman. He just KNEW he shouldn't get into his car!

Cautious is one thing, but this was a fucking superpower.

[therapist]

A few dodgy moments but thought that was a fantastic episode. Never thought Gus/Walt would die, but the Jesse/Walt thing was necessary to have Jesse realise what Gus is really like.

The car bit was silly I suppose but still some fantastic build-up at the end.

[TheTornado]

Yeah, I felt a bit let down by this one, too. It did feel like a step backwards, but whenever I think Breaking Bad misses a step they just hit you 10x harder the next time. For example, this whole season was building, then "Salud" came and... holy shit. "Crawl Space"? One of the most intense pieces of television - or any other medium of film for that matter - that I've ever seen. So I see this as a bit of a tease until the finale, which will no doubt hit hard, and set up the final season in an amazing way.

A few questions:

-Can we put the rumor to bed that Gomez is corrupt/working for Gus?
-The last picture we see Hank looking at is where the entrance to the lab is hidden. Will he figure it out?
-Is this the last we see of Saul Goodman!?

[wizeguy]

all kickin off now...

hopefully not Saul Goodman's a Joker

[Sliptek]

I live in the city where this show is filmed and I am always seeing their filming around town..and its kinda funny to watch the show where you live in the same city that the show is filmed..the sad part is that Albuquerque is really like that in real life...well almost like it..lol

[TheTornado]

I went to ABQ last summer and want to move there. Fucking amazing city.

[therapist]

I don't get how people are disappointed with this episode, I thought it was really gripping. Especially considering some of the poop we've sat through earlier in the season.

[Sliptek]

That band were legendary haha! I youtubed them after the episode and according to stuff I read its like its own genre in mexico where the bands just sing about drugs and crime and barons etc. Perfect casting of danny trejo as tortuga in those early mexico episodes too!

Q: How did it feel to see your severed head on a tortoise?

A: It was kind of weird. It was done so well.

Q: Did you get to keep the head?

A: No. [Laughs] Put it on my mantle or something.

Q: Tortuga says, "There are two kinds of men in this world, those who drink and those who pour." Which one are you?

A: I don't drink and you better be gorgeous or pretty tough to ask me to pour. I go to a lot of schools and I tell people that if you have a problem drinking, it is just best not to. There are a lot of problem drinkers, especially in juvenile hall. So, I try to put them on a path of staying out of trouble.

Q: Your real-life story seems to be the opposite of Walt's. You started out in serious trouble and straightened your life out.

A: It's kind of like been there, done that, bought a t-shirt. In prison there are only two kinds of people: There is predator and prey and you have to kind of decide, which am I going to be? I decided I'll be a predator and then you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to stay on top, because if you're in a pile of s--- I'd rather be on top than in the middle. So far I've had a pretty good career playing bad guys.

Q: Do you ever think, "When am I going to get to play the nice guy next door?"

A: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I did Spy Kids. [Laughs] I was the uncle in Spy Kids.
Robert Rodriguez is doing Spy Kids IV now. I got a bigger role in it.

Q: Tortuga seems really into SkyMall. Have you ever purchased anything from the in-flight catalog?

A: No, but I love looking at the gadgets. If I see a good gadget, I'll build it. They've got great shoe racks and great closet stuff. I love tennis shoes. They had this one thing for putting up shoes so I built it.

Q: Why not just order it?

A: I don't know. It would feel like just waiting for a Christmas present or something. I seen it and I got the idea so I just built it myself. The funniest thing that ever happened to me, as far as like autographs -- I got onto a plane one time and you know all those magazines like SkyWest magazine they have on the plane? My picture was in one. So I signed one for somebody and then I ended up just signing one for the whole plane. And it was funny because the stewardess asked me, "Mr. Trejo, do you want me to have people stop?" I was like, "No. I'm just sitting here anyway." She said, "OK. Would you sign this for me?"

Q: When Tortuga was in the hotel making a deal with the DEA, were you ad-libbing those lines?

A: A lot of them. And I have made a couple of deals with the district attorney: "Let's plead to a lesser charge buddy, given my background." So that was a lot of fun. You can't start saying the Gettysburg Address. You have to stay in the time and the story, but as far as changing words, a lot of times when you get a writer who was an English major and you're supposed to be playing a character like Tortuga, I wouldn't say, "apprehended," [Laughs] I say, "The guy got caught."

Q: Are you sometimes amazed that you managed to get out of that world? How did you navigate that?

A: I took drugs and alcohol out of my life and my life just started getting better, and the reality is some mornings I wake up and I'll be laughing my ass off cause I'm in South Africa. What the hell am I doing in Cape Town, South Africa? I'm doing a movie called Death Race 2 and it's like wow, I've come a long way.

Q: What was your favorite thing about Tortuga?

A: I loved his style of dress. [Laughs] Cowboy boots and boxer shorts. That was kinda cool.

[Kodachrome]

all kickin off now...

hopefully not Saul Goodman's a Joker

Odenkirk is a don.

[Herbimore]

Could Jesse have warned Gus about the car?

[knell]

I went to ABQ last summer and want to move there. Fucking amazing city.

it's awesome, isn't it? New Mexico is my favorite state in America

[soulkids]

wasn't that disappointing. jesse not killing walt was obvious, so was the end. they could've shown more of hanks 'progress' or so

A few dodgy moments but thought that was a fantastic episode. Never thought Gus/Walt would die, but the Jesse/Walt thing was necessary to have Jesse realise what Gus is really like.

The car bit was silly I suppose but still some fantastic build-up at the end.

gus was acting, though. gus had the kid poisoned, and knew jesse couldnt say to gus "gus i know you took the poison that i was trying to kill you with and gave it to a child", and gus knows this. imo jesse has gus fooled atm

[therapist]

Yeah, not sure if you thought I was suggesting otherwise. I thought it was well played by Jesse at the end.

yo

when Walt is spinning the gun, the last thing it points to is a plant

the plant is White Monkshood

its very poisonous

jus sayin

[knell]

[pkay]

I think he rethought his conversation with jesse... and the fact he didn't argue with "next week" tipped him off to "he wanted me to come to this hospital"

He just got done fucking with the cartel... double paranoia

What has me fucked is mike for all purposes hasn't been in 2 episodes. He's gotta come back for something epic.

Maybe his loyalty now lies with Jesse? Maybe the kid dies and if jesse can't get to gus he'll get to mike instead which is the only way to hurt gus?

so many possiblities
