Breaking Bad

[Daradon]

Just thought about something, how's Mike passing as a paralegal at all these different jails and remand centers when he's being questioned by Hank? Certainly he'd find out about one of the visits. He's going to nine places or something like that.

I loved the scene when they were watching Scarface and Walt Jr. asked his mom to join them.

Awesome scene/foreshadowing. The look on Skyler's face as the camera cut from the film to her face over and over again was genius. She knows that there is going to be a showdown and you can tell she is slowly going mental over what is happening.

And Jesse offering to pay the entire fee for Mike's boys...man you gotta love Jesse.
He is the one guy in the entire series I'd like to see make it out alive.

The interesting thing is that he's so comfortable with the lying and manipulation now. What does he do after Marie leaves? Just casually walks into the kitchen and bites into an apple.

Doubt he's using his real identification.

reminded me of the scene when they bought the car wash and Walt breaks the first dollar out of its frame the guy ever made and casually buys a pop with it... loved it though. just ruthless

They do have him on camera though. Somebody might recognize him at some point.

Well I understand that, but they did make an issue of him yelling at the security camera to be let out of the building.

IMO Mike will be dead by the time Hank and his crew look into the cameras.

The comment was definitely directed toward Mike. Walt feels like he's the boss and Mike stepped out of line, much like Victor stepped out of line when he tried to cook meth.

I love the way the tension is slowly building between Mike and Walt. Breaking Bad is so good at ramping up the tension between characters.

Question - does anyone think that Gus killed Victor because Victor was witnessed at Gale's apartment? Remember, Mike asked if anyone saw him, Victor said yes, and Mike was promptly on the phone with Gus (while Victor was showing off his cooking skills).

I think that is something that Vince Gilligan hinted at before. Personally, I have always felt that a better explanation was that Gus entrusted Victor to get rid of Walt, and when he botched it horribly, Gus killed him.

Jesse is starting to figure it out.

The garage door closing to end was awesome, and Jesse is starting to realize he's being played.

I feel bad for Skyler and Anna Gunn.

It's a well written character, what would any of us do in that situation?

Ok, ruin my family, I'll just be T&A for you?

It's unfortunate, she is a great actress, but on the protagonist arc, we have to hate her.

[BlackRedGold25]

I don't know if we can still hate Skylar. At this point, we sort of have to feel sorry for her. It isn't her fault that her husband has transformed into a dangerous guy. Even if she hadn't slept with Ted, he'd still be down the same path.

[Daradon]

I really like her, I think the best moment (top 5 anyway) was her walking out on Walt in season two. What a great speech.

That's a good point... this is one reason why the show is so great. Not everything is spoon fed to the viewer, a lot is left up for interpretation.

Viktor got boned for being at the crime scene. A message was sent. But the two tied it up neatly.

Even Mike called in Viktor's sloppiness that episode.

[Wormius]

I wonder if Walt telling Marie about the affair is going to start unravelling some threads. I can see Skylar getting right pissed off if she finds that Walt told Marie about Ted. Skylar might say something about Walt to Marie, who would probably tell Hank. Or else Marie tells Hank about Skylar and Ted and he goes to confronts Ted in some misguided attempt to stick up for Walt and Ted says something to Hank that raises some red flags for him.

I think the irony will be that all the little things that were driven by Walt`s ego and cockiness are going to come back and get him.
