I'm also pleased to say that I have no worries about the end living up to expectations. The vision guiding the show and the execution week to week has been flawless.
It's already there, no question about it.

I'd say even better than The Sopranos already. 1-2 with The Wire imo.

Phenomenal show tonight. like others have said I was completely on the edge of my seat when they were robbing the train. I thought the kid would somehow screw up, or maybe get stuck on top of the train, but nope... the way they ended it just blew my mind.

I also loved the scene between Skylar and Waly.

"Out burring bodies?"... "Robbing a train". Haha, I just love the delivery of the line. Walt doesn't even bother trying to hide his actions anymore.

I also like how Jesse has evolved into the brains of the outfit. He is one coming up with all the great ideas, and solving the issues Walt used to take care of in his more brutal manner.

I was actually thinking why didn't they find a way to switch out the methylamine with something, as that seemed like the best way to get the job done.

I can see why Flynn is so upset. Lasagne is NOT breakfast!

Also I don't think that's the end of Lydia. Walt seems to still be holding a grudge about the shut-up pay that Mike is paying. After talking alone with Lydia, Walt now knows that she knows who Mikes guys are. I think Walt will team up with Lydia to get rid of Mike and his guys. Not only do they both hate Mike, they also both seem to think that you can do whatever you want if you " are doing it for family".

It will be hard to get rid of Mike's guys, unless Mike is offed first. Though from the preview of next weeks episode, if Mike wants out, that would solve the problem assuming he doesn't expect Walt to continue to pay the legacy fee

For all anybody knows though, Mike could have pocketed the hazard pay intended for the guys in lockup for himself and has enough now to be satisfied.

Great episode, I swear this show is at best 20 minutes long. Though I do have two minor issues with it. First, who lets their 12yr old dirt bike around the desert by themselves... and Two, I like how they have their 'private' conversation 6 feet from Lydia

Although Jesse was also the only one who said anything to try and stop it.

How could they have dealt with it other than the way they did? The kid saw and if there is anything about 12 year olds, is they don't reason very well and they have big mouths.

Leaving the kid alive would be a ticket to prison. They would pretty much have to just go and turn themselves in at that point, which wouldn't make for a very interesting finale.

Or three, how could you not hear a kid pull up on a dirt bike. Mike would have to be a pretty lousy scout if the kid was standing there the whole time, so I would have to guess that he pulled up after the train had stopped. You would hear that easily.

The noise of the pump? Those things are pretty loud - plus Mike was looking back and forth from the guys working and the dump truck - not behind him from the desert.

I think when the conversation is "should we kill her like we said we were going to" you can probably have it right in her face.

Killing the kid seemed a bit rash. They could have easily talked their way out of it, like some kind of train maintenance they were performing. Now they have to deal with a dead body and possibly people coming out searching for this missing kid, and seeing fresh pile of disturbed dirt where they buried the containers would set off alarm flags and those would get unburied.

Also, didn't Walt leave fingerprints on all of that stuff he planted in Hanks office? That seems a bit careless.

That kid was likely a member of the Indian reservation in the area.

Sure, they could have talked to him and tried to come up with an explanation, but knowing most kids around that age, he probably would have came back with friends after they were gone to check it out. He saw them putting stuff in the ground and 12 year olds are curious buggers. Having that floating around out there would make it pretty hard to sleep at night.

They still have to worry about cleaning up, but they have more time now.

(I don't condone it, but just trying to think about it from the perspective of the type of people who are already killers and cook meth for a living).

I thought the same thing. I think that will come back into play at some point.

It's funny my biggest thing with this episode was all the dirt Walt spilled into the tanks. He is always so concerned about having a pure product we even spent an entire episode with him trying to kill a fly in the lab. You would think he would have had them setup better so that dirt would not fall into them.

Anything other than killing the kid would have ruined the story, IMO. I didn't realize it at the time, but the past few episodes have been building up to that scene. Mike talking about the house fumigation crew and saying how professional they are and never leave untied ends. Mike's line saying "There are 2 types of jobs - ones where the guys get away with it, and one with witnesses".

It just made nothing but sense for "Landry's" first reaction to be to whip out the pistol and waste the kid without even a second thought. In my mind at least, that's what a real professional would do. It just further pushes along the fact that Walt and Jessie are no longer 2 wannabe dudes cooking in a basement somewhere and are now playing with the big boys.

All of that being said, however, it was a disturbing scene considering all of the effort they just went through to avoid killing the train engineer and conductor.
