"Breaking Bad" tonite....thoughts?

Hank is getting closer and closer...mike is dead? what next?

[Lionel Mandrake]

1. Walter has deteriorated.

Killing Mike was not just bad; it was stupid.

[rppper]

3. he is becoming a cut rate gus....

i am anxious to see who that gun is for from the seasons first episode....i think it's hank....

4. In the Army, I discovered that I was a much better shot than most with a wide range...

.
.
.
... of military weapons, both West German- and U.S.-issued, that ran the gamut from pistols to
anti-tank rocket launchers.
.
EXCEPT for the M-60 .30 cal. machine gun (which, I believe, is what we saw in the trunk of that
car).
.
.
They set up an old hulk of a Jeep a coupla hundred yards or so away and had us fire some
unbelievable number of rounds at it. I don't believe I actually hit it one single time, though there
were many, MANY puffs of dirt spouting up all around that Jeep (some quite a distance away from
it).
.
It was a BLAST to fire (I'm pretty sure I was actually LOL)... it was just difficult to hit anything
with it on my first time.
.
When you get something like that black market, I have to believe that you don't get enough
rounds to practice and BECOME proficient with it... so I may be watching with a disbelieving
eye if and when Walt has occasion to use it.
.
.
.
I have what may be a pretty radical idea of what situation Walt will be in when that final show
happens (I'm not even convinced that the next show won't be the grand finale).

5. walt had grown hair and a beard....

....for that shot, so he may have had time to work or practice with something, as it was set at a future date....the next episode mentioned mopping up?....

i had a couple of chances' when i was stationed on a supply ship in the navy' to shoot the m-60, the browning .50 cal and and old Oerlikon 20mm cannon...the 20mm and the .50 could dice up the targets we floated, but i did like the action of the m-60.....

6. But remember that diner scene told us that it was actually EXACTLY one year from the opening...

.
.
.
... of THIS season (he told the diner waitress that it was his birthday and arranged
his bacon in the shape of a "52" instead of the "51" that Skyler had arranged it in
the opening scene of this season) AND he had grown all that hair BEFORE his
connection brought him the M-60.

16. These birthdays are getting worse and worse

[Yavin4]

10. My Guess Is Its for Either Jessie or Skylar

My guess is that one of them is in witness protection in N.H.

[deutsey]

2. The closer Walt seems to get to creating his "empire"

the more it slips through his fingers...

8. The Icarus Effect.

[Mike Daniels]

7. Wondering if Skyler and Jesse join together in an effort to stop Walt

There seemed to be a "connection" (not romantic) during the car wash scene in that both are effectively prisoners of Walter's at this point.

I see Jesse breaking off from Walter once and for all soon. Since he wants out of the trade he's not likely to go running to Declan's crew but would he possibly spill to the DEA for immunity?

[Initech]

9. Considering that Vince Gilligan himself said the show will end violently - that's a good possibility.

Who would have expected that the DEA was going to find Mike and that last nights' episode would end the way it did? Walt had morphed into a full on psycho. Although I loved the opening... SAY MY NAME!!!!

[Blue_In_AK]

11. Yes, I see Jesse spilling the beans to the DEA

Walt has pushed him too hard. I've always found Jesse to be the more sympathetic character.

[Lionel Mandrake]

12. Walt was sympathetic at first, but he just gets worse and worse.

Jesse was despicable at first, but he just gets better and better.

On a previous occasion when Walt pushed Jesse too hard, Jesse beat the crap out of him. Could happen again.

[Mike Daniels]

14. If Jesse ever finds out about about Walt's involvement re: Jane and Brock

the previous beat-down Jesse put on Walt (sorry, Mr. White) will probably be child's play compared to the reckoning that would be handed down at that point.

13. What a great episode!

The producer has already defined the story arc as "Turning Mr. Chips into Scarface" so I think we'll be seeing Heisenberg much more than Walt from here until the conclusion.

Seeing Heisenberg become a billionaire drug lord and surpassing the wealth of his former partners at Grey Matter would be a satisfying end to the series.

He'll end up losing everything including his life, family and soul but I think that's where the story is heading.
