Got my order in. Hopefully it's for the whole season and not just half. ITunes also has the previous 4 seasons, in HD, bundled for $50 until July 2.

Just starting watching "Salud" from last night's rerun on AMC. Jesse dressing down the chemist in Mexico is so good. :D Just the tip of the iceberg with this episode that includes Walt's speech to Jr ("It's all my fault") and Gus, Jesse, and Mike vs Don Eladio by the pool.

People always say 'I AM THE ONE THAT KNOCKS' scene is his best performance this season but I really do think that scene is his finest moment in the whole season. It's acted so well. It's almost as if he (and / or the writer) experienced it in his own personal life or something. So good. I seen something like that in my own life with a family member so obviously I could relate to it a little bit.

I wonder what ep will be used for his Emmy stuff. Would be amazing if he wins it again.

Same here. Honestly, while we don't have the absolute specific details, we know Walt can be so full of it that I'm inclined to completely believe Gretchen's side of the story.

If they do any flashbacks, I'd rather them show exactly how Brock got poisoned. Was it Walt or Saul (or one of his goons?) who actually did the deed and how?

Walt found out that Gretchen had either lied or never told him about her family being very rich and he got upset and left her immediately, burned all bridges with her and Eliott and then acted like the victim when they continued without him and achieved great success.

That episode is my favourite out of the whole series I think. Gus was fucking boss in the way he handled his plan. I was sat there with an open mouth the entire time.

Casting tidbit:

- EW.com: 'Breaking Bad' taps Scottish actress Laura Fraser to play 'important' character in season 5
Quote:
The AMC drama is introducing an “important” character in the second episode played by Scottish actress Laura Fraser, executive producer Vince Gilligan tells EW. Gilligan describes Lydia as a “former of associate of Gus Fring (Giancarlo Esposito) who’s integral to the proceedings of season 5,” as well as someone who is “nervous about her place in the world.”

Pretty clear that Gretchen and Walt were in a relationship and they, with Elliot, started Grey Matter together. Then Gretchen left Walt for Elliot and his pride got in the way of their working relationship and he cashed out whatever he had done, and they went on to make a ton of money.

The back story isn't important. It's that Walt is willing to refuse money, his EARNED money, just because of his pride. I doubt we'll see much more of it, maybe him buying Grey Matter as a real "fuck you" and destroying Gretchen and Elliot just for his fun.

Gretchen said: You left ME. And I got the feeling from Walt's how I hooked up with Skyler that he might have been still with Gretchen at that time.

He's a use your bootstraps, no charity for me, wah, wah, why isn't me being smart and everyone else not as good as me not enough to be rich and admired like I deserve, wah guy. Wouldn't even ask his mother for money, but sells drugs inszead

How is it a loose end? It's as much a loose end as "What is Walt's relationship with his mother and why" or "Whatever happened to the crackhead couple's kid"....

I keep thinking about how horrible the mid-season (or end of season?) cliffhanger is going to be. It's the end of the show and some shit is probably gonna go down, so there's probably a number of really, really torturous places to leave it at.

Walt is standing in his new awesome lab that he is the boss off, telling his minions what to do and where to go and sell the blue stuff. Then he turns around and there's Hank, pointing a gun at him.

Boom, credits.

So I was watching the season finale of season 2, and in the scene where Skyler tells Walt to leave the house, one of the shots looked really familiar. It was composed almost identically to one of the shots from the 'Scared' season 5 teaser.

Since people in this thread can be ninnies about spoilers, I'll just link the picture:

The parallelism between the situations is pretty obvious given what Skyler says in the teaser, but it's this sort of care and attention to detail that makes re-watching Breaking Bad so awesome. Also, I love how much darker the second shot is!

Eh, count me in for an "against" as far as that goes. We already got both their perspectives on it, and we've got no reason to doubt Gretchen, so why waste the time going into detail unless it somehow ends up relevant?

It's sort of like the last season of The Shield, where they seemed to bring back a random character for "closure" in almost every episode. Sure, it was neat seeing some of them again, but a lot of the time it seemed forced after a while when there was just this parade of previous characters that you had pretty much forgotten about popping back up.

Episode 2 had a series of scenes about the elements that make up the human body which never got resolved.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Vr7p5CYWBM

Also I was doing some episode re-watches. Why did Gus invite Walt to dinner in that one episode? Did Gus really have a wife and kids? Was it just to relate to Walt as a family man?
