Interesting. I wonder what that interview with Elliott and Gretchen set off in Walt. I mean, obviously his ego after they basically dismissed his contributions, but did it set something else in motion, or just renewed his drive to finish going after the nazis to get the rest of the money. Or does he now realize how much Jesse ultimately did mean to him and try to help him out, while Jesse would kill him for everything he just put him through over the last month or so.

I think Walt's gonna be the hero and save everybody.

I think it made him realize that Jesses still alive... They said the blue meth is making a comeback

Walt in New Hampshire was like Rocky in Russia in Rocky 4. Now it's time to go beat some Neo Nazi/Ruskie butt!

Wow don't know how they're going to wrap this up in one episode. Everything is still in motion and they added Grey Matter into the mix. Crazy how it sets it up to come full circle now after Grey Matter screwed Walt in the beginning and then insulted his ego by offering to pay for his treatment.

I can't wait until next week.

Well that could definitely be it but Walt seemed to get really mad when they said that Walter White was gone and only Heisenberg was left.

"Only Heisenberg? I'll show them Heisenberg!"

djsFlames · 09-22-2013, 11:53 PM

I agree with the above poster.

I hope he bombs the Grey Matter headquarters and 70 million dollars of his meth money rains down upon its ruins, right after he steals it back from the cold hands of the bloody, lifeless corpses of the supremacists.

(he comes to the realization of how absurd it was to think that his kids could actually use such an unfathomable amount of cash)

It would be, just, ..perfection. BB style.

Brannigans Law · 09-22-2013, 11:57 PM

Todd is amazing. The murder tonight was ridiculous and evil and heart wrenching. Pinkmans reaction was amazing too.

Good gravy.

djsFlames · 09-23-2013, 12:10 AM

I'll admit I felt for Jesse in that scene with Andrea. Dude's been through enough already. Beyond repair now at this point. The guy was begging for death. He wasn't smooth at all in that escape attempt though. Really should have surveyed the area and looked for some damn cameras of all things.. (it's a giant meth lab, of course they're gonna have security..) and not just, you know, bolt across the open field. Typical Jesse not using his noggin.

Another great episode. A shame Cranston didn't win the Emmy, as he deserved it for tonight's episode; from the highs and the lows he displayed throughout.

I guess this means Saul makes it out, so any spin-off with him could either be a prequel or sequel to the show.

I hope they answer the question of what exactly is Walt's health at the moment. He appeared to be in better shape at the end of the episode than at the beginning, even though his body appears to have wasted away (with the ring falling off).

Can anyone answer how long he was in New Hampshire?

Close to a year. It was shortly after his 51st birthday that all hell broke loose, and we saw him at the beginning of the season on his 52nd birthday. He's also had time to go through multiple cancer treatments and also we know the house is now in the state it was during the flash forward

Hemi-Cuda · 09-23-2013, 12:25 AM

Oh and Todd needs to die, damn that was hard to watch with Jesse's reaction. Hank's death had more weight to it obviously, but this one hits harder IMO because it's a completely innocent person killed solely to hurt someone else. There's no way I'll be happy with the finale unless that entire nazi gang gets taken out

trackercowe · 09-23-2013, 12:30 AM

I actually find Todd a tad likable, granted I hope he dies as well, but it's just hard to picture someone like him to be as completely ruthless and deadly as he is. And I barely watched Friday Night Lights, so that's not a factor at all.

calgarywinning · 09-23-2013, 12:55 AM

The Pinkman escape scene was pretty cool tonight. Was very tense. Also, I was pissed when Bill Pullman won for newsroom of Cranston.

I kept saying he should channel Heisenberg and Kanye West and get up and grab the Emmy back.

Go home calgarywinning, you're drunk

Just watched the last episode. Wasn't as crazy as the last 3 episodes, but still great.

I was hoping Jesse would get away. I actually thought Todd would come back and step on his hands while he was trying to unlock the cage. I really want Jesse to get his revenge on all the Nazis.

You could see Walt's heart break talking to Walt Jr. on the phone and he was ready to turn himself in, until the old Heisenberg ego was woken up hearing about Grey Matter. I guess the next episode will pick up when Season 5, episode 1 started off in the diner celebrating his 52nd birthday with the guns in the trunk of the car.

I can't wait, although I'm pretty distraught at everything ending.

Pretty crazy that Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston didn't win Emmys tonight. Anna Gunn deserved to win. My wife told me that this season (season 5, part 2) will be up for next year's Emmys. They should be a lock for best actor, supporting actor and best drama.

Honestly...I really dislike this whole Grey Matter situation all of a sudden. Whatever Walter's dealings were with Schwartzs just had no development whatsoever. It was enough for us to know that once upon a time Walt's ego was hurt when it came to Grey Matter - we didn't have to go into it in any detail.
Bringing Grey Matter into picture just adds too many players for the last 45 minutes - and I just don't like too many character and "story arcs" crammed into a finale just for the sake of tying "lose ends". I was totally indifferent when it came to "Grey Matter" - theres no need to make it relevant at THIS point.

I believe the premise is that Walter had always believe that Gray Matter became a billion dollar company off his research. It had always left a bad taste in his mouth. Now they aren't even giving him any credit.

With blue meth back there's another company, of sorts, making a fortune off his research. And he's not cool with that. It was just that last push, that last kick to his ego, that stopped him from turning himself in.

Wormius · 09-23-2013, 06:01 AM

I don't think the blue meth means much, Walt knew they took Jesse to do a few cooks. For all he knows or cares, it was a success and then they killed him.

Regarding Jesse's escape, a bit contrived. They have video surveillance everywhere except there?

Lydia's "stevia" addiction almost seems like she would be the recipient of the ricin, but I don't think at this stage Walt needs to kill discreetly. He would probably just kill her with a gun for all it matters to him at this stage. Ironic that when those guys were contemplating killing Lydia they showed her mercy, not really reciprocal showing by Lydia with Skyler.

What's up with Walt's drink? Who drank theirs neat? Was that Walt's really preferred way or did he pick that up from Hank?
