Breaking Bad Season 5 (Here)

[Hotsauce]

During the closing scene, Walt tlks to Jesse about how Gus kills victor for getting too "close". I have not been able to make the connection of what Walt was getting at.

Also, am I the only one who thinks cooking in houses is irresponsible and freaking retarded?

Getting too close to the sun - aka Icarus - being over confident and overstepping his bounds. It's hard to say what he really means. Mike overstepping by having everyone pay into the 'legacy tax' or Jesse overstepping by saying he'd pay when Mike and Walt were having their alpha male moment? Who knows.

I think cooking in houses is pretty solid. Not as ideal as the original lab but the best they can do.

Does anyone think the cockroach in the house foreshadows them possibly getting busted for never fully exterminating the houses, which will eventually result in them looking for another idea?

Im inclined to think that he is talking about Mike but I think its more than just the 'legacy tax' and its his whole demeanor. Mike has been very forceful and could be seen to be trying to assume Gus' role and of course Walt thinks that spot on the throne is his.

So to complete the Icarus analogy, Walt is Daedalus. And just like Daedalus crafted the wings and warned Icarus to not fly too high, Walt will engineer the tools of Mike demise and let Mikes personality drive him to his own destruction.

yeah it looks like walt is letting mike put the pieces in place, and when he is no longer necessary, we all know what's going to happen

is mike cunning enough to keep that control out of walt's hands?

[Porn Shop Clerk]

yeah, that was a boring episode

[Kramerica]

Looks like they could be building up to what would be a dream come true for many fans--Skylar's death, at Walt's hand or her own.

I just finished the first 4 seasons on netflix and thought I'd have to get some kind of internet stream to catch up. Just realized last night they have all the new episodes on TWC On Demand in HD. Cool Story Bro. :cam:

I've heard so many supposed spoilers about the last few episodes of this season.

-Skylar wants to go to the DEA so Walt strangles her.

-Mike ends up in federal prison somehow

-Jesse gets shot

-Walt Jr. dies in a car crash

-Steve Gomez is secretly part of the drug trade

-Steve Gomez dies from the ricin cigarette

-Hank finds out during the last episode of this years half season

i can see #4 coming from a mile away. the rest are entirely feasible and highly likely imo

Well I think that the fact this season is started up as slow as it has, I could see all of this feasible. poo has to hit the fan soon....

When is episodes 9-18 coming on?

I'm convinced Walt will be exposed and go on the run. He's getting sloppy, buying flashy cars, and if you remember the very first episode of this season he was at a diner making a 52 with his bacon and using an alias and had a huge machinegun in his trunk. Seemed like maybe a last stand sort of a thing, and obviously would be a year from yesterday's episode. Walt had died completely, and only Heisenberg remains. He doesn't care about Skylar anymore whatsoever. His indifference toward her even after her saying she wanted the cancer to come back is remarkable. Hank is also setting up surveillance on Mike, so he'll eventually see him with Walt, which will bring back memories of his boss mentioning how Gus used to come over to his house for BBQ's, right under his nose. Hank will put it together that Walt is a chemistry genius, paid for his PT, has nice cars. He already made a remark about Walt being a millionaire car wash owner. It's only a matter of time.

Ughh, next weeks episode looks just as slow, lol

[natty]

I think the pacing is good. Maybe a tad bit slow but there's tension building. The end of season 4 wiped the slate clean as far as what's driving the story so they have to take a bit of time to establish what's the story is about now(and the psyche of all the characters). I think they've accomplished that now with Skylar actually speaking.

[Inimicus]

Slow? Boring? Are you guys serious?

The confrontation with Skyler was EPIC Walt and its when he is in that mode that you really see his genius in action. Countering every point or idea with a barrage of negativity in a way that makes her actually believe that they are dead ends. And then her attempt to hurt him at the end of it by telling him that she was waiting for the cancer to return. fuging Brilliant scene.

The Cars? Walt's realization that the Aztec has become a liability and has to go, the new car that Jr was all meh over resulting in his second Challenger. The whole bit was quite entertaining.

The twist with Hank getting promoted and sidelined for the case really should create more breathing room for Walt while at the same time setting up a parallel between Walt and Hank to the one between Fring and ASAC Merket.

I cant say I was at all disappointed.
