I'm the same way, minus the library part. I absolutely HATE waiting for shows. I'm the type of person who likes to sit down and binge on a series over the course of a month or so. I wish I never got started on Sons of Anarchy or Boardwalk Empire. Now I'm stuck waiting for them get caught up. It'll be at least a couple years before I even get to Game of Thrones. Breaking Bad was a special exception though.

That's part of the reason for me. The other part is that I live under a rock and usually don't even hear about shows until they are already old.

Huge Plot Hole: Why would Hank take a dump in Walter & Skyler's Ensuite Bathroom?
Who takes dumps in peoples Master Bedroom Bathroom?

Why not the guest Bathroom? Doesnt make sense

[PowerPlayoffs06]

Pretty sure they don't have a second bathroom. When Walt was sleeping in the nursery, he had to get up and ask Skylar to use the bathroom in the master bedroom but she wouldn't let him in, so he wound up pissing in the sink if I recall.

I've seen a few Hank & Jessie promo shots cropping up on FB. Read into it what you will.

[FlamesAddiction]

I'm really not liking the angle of Jesse falling into depression, and I really hope they don't have him turning to Hank for support (which it seems like they are preparing the audience for).

Potential spoilers below (it's based on an official promo shot and video, so it's out there, but some people still may not want to know):

Spoiler!

Spoiler!

The photo implies that Skylar and Walt bury something (or someone) in the desert. Some are suggesting it's the money, but some suggest it might be Ted or Lydia. (One of the episode descriptions says that something from Skylar's past comes back to haunt her). In the video promo for the episode, you can also hear Skylar sobbing and saying that she is "so sorry"...

I don't think that Jessie will go to Hank for support, but Hank may see the guilt and pressure of the situation weighing on Jessie and take that as an opportunity to flip him and give him a way to clear his conscience. I can't even see Jessie taking much of a deal, as he seems to believe that the only way for him to purge everything is to suffer.

I don't think Jesse would rat Walt out because of his own guilt. But Hank is good at piecing things together, and if he can figure out that Walt was the one that poisoned Brock, I could see that being enough get Jesse to turn on Walt.

Perhaps it's even Jesse that destroys Walt's house and spray-paints Heisenberg on the wall.

That's crazy. Gets me excited!

I'm not sure it matters who sprayed Heisenberg on the wall. To me it's likely it's just the neighbourhood kids etc. who loiter or squat in the house. People, especially teenagers, take an eerie fascination in criminals and killers. To me it was written there just as a kind of an homage to who lived there and what happened there by the teens who are curious about that kind of stuff.

As far as the home being closed, it could easily just have been condemned because it's a drug property. Course they weren't actually cooking there, but there's a lot of reasons why the city might choose to condemn it. They would definitely repossess it at the least.

Doesn't mean someone didn't take revenge, like the other theories, but I'm not sold on that yet.

As far as Jesse goes, yeah I think he's is right on the line for turning on Walt. We've seen him look at Walt lot differently since the boy got shot and they had their big falling out when Jesse wanted to leave the business. I think his loyalty is hanging on just barely, but as mentioned, it'll only take one more little push to finally dissolve that loyalty, and that could take the form of many things. Info on Jane or Brock, or maybe even something more to come.

Do you think there will be any filler in the last 7?

[Daradon]

Depends what you call 'filler'. I don't believe there really has been much in the whole series. Perhaps a few of the funny bits with Jesse's friends could be taken out or shortened, but in my opinion they're gold and really add to the enjoyment of the show.

I generally disagree when people talk about this show or Game of Thrones as of having filler parts, or 'side' parts. It's all important, and entertaining in my opinion.

There is ONE episode on BB I would count as filler. The Fly episode. But I was generally entertained by it and it showed Walt's state of mind as well as his human qualities towards the end. Feeling bad about Jane and almost spilling the beans to Jesse. Realizing he had made some big mistakes. Plus it started the possible idea that his cancer had come back and may have even become a brain tumor. Whether that was just for drama, or to throw us off the trail, who knows. But I still thought it was a decent episode.

I get more concerned about filler in shows or books when there's a bunch of it. In small doses, you really can't define it because it's just telling the story. I find filler is when something is repeated over and over again, and you're like, 'yeah, I got it,'. But if the purpose of a book or show is to entertain, and it's doing it's job, you can't really say any parts were unnecessary, even if they didn't follow a major character or plot point. Because it's entertaining, which is the whole point of engaging in it. Otherwise, why read the book or watch the show at all? Or if you just want to know what happens, go to a summary site after the show ends.

Walt is a chemistry teacher with money problems who gets cancer. He starts to make and sell meth to earn money for his family and to pay for his treatment. He eventually succumbs to the temptations of the money and power. However, things unravel, many people are killed and eventually Walt dies as well. The End.

No filler, but not entertaining either. :/

[Daradon]

Oh, I'll just add specifically, I think we are going to have a fast and full ride to the end. The fact that the Walt-Hank confrontation came so quickly perhaps proving that. I didn't think we'd hit that in the first episode. Was thinking more like episode two, maybe even three. If they really wanted to add filler they could have stretched it even longer.

But I do think it shows there is still LOTS more to do and reveal and should move at a pretty heady pace.

The Fly episode was one of the most brilliant and memorable episodes in the series.

Breaking Bad quiz - Walter White or Shakespeare quote?

http://www.cbc.ca/books/2013/08/who-...n-villain.html

Respectable 90% The last one was a bit hard to attribute to either Walter White or a character from Shakespeare.

It's like an escalator into Walt's psyche. I love that episode.

I put it on when I'm doing the dishes or whatever background chore.

Anyone getting a little anxious about tonight's episode!

It will be so funny if that lotto ticket he bought with the GPS coordinates hidden in it, actually ends up winning the lottery.
