Tonight's Breaking Bad was AWESOME!!! WARNING *****SPOILERS*****

[Hector]

Skyler got the scolding of her life over the phone...her expression was priceless, she deserved it.

I'm an idiot...

[Hector]

Preach it brother!

[cjefferys]

Finally got a chance to watch this tonight. Wow, I love this show so much. I honestly can't even try to predict how the last two episodes will unroll. It's cool that Walt tried to protect Skyler from the brunt of the blame, and that he ended up doing the right thing with his daughter. But I'm sure that losing a large majority of HIS money would just be eating away at him, I can't see him just walking away from that. And I don't think things are over between him and Jesse. I can't wait to see how this ends, but I will be also so sad when it is finally finished. One of the best shows ever IMO.

I don't get the Skyler hate. The stakes in the show wouldn't be so high if Skyler and Walt Jr. weren't who they are.

Walt's speech to her was clearly a fraud to try to get her off the hook with the cops and Marie, to make them think she was abused and forced into it. It also doubled as an echo of all the stupid things people say about Skyler (Hector, read this please. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/08/24/op...ter-issue.html)


It was such a perfectly crafted episode. Nothing is wasted. Nothing. The long awaited reveal about Jane's death? Delivered for maximum impact at last. That conversation between Hank and Marie last week that seemed like such an obvious TV trope, 'the final ironic phone call between two doomed lovers" also turns out the be a MAJOR plot complication. Jesse ending up enslaved to cook, just brutally horrible. I think we now know why Walt has returned packing so much heat in the flash-forward. My question is, is he coming to rescue Jesse or kill him, and how does he find out he's alive in the first place?

That knife fight was terrifying.

Yeah, like I told Brian, you guys are right on the Walt/Skyler conversation.

I think Walt is going to rescue Jesse...he just can't leave him there, plus the Aryans took most of his hard earned money, in his mind, it belongs to his family.

Good stuff, Scott!

[Mego Milk]

Love love love this show!

[Hector]

Good anologies, guys!

[Hector]

It is a very dark black comedy-drama, that's why I root for Walt, it's all in fun, lol.

[Hector]

IMO that scolding wasn't sincere, he wanted to paint it to the police that he was abusive and controlling. He was protecting her.

There is no way this can end well for Mr White.

That's true, but I get too emotional, and lose train of thought, lol.

[sauce]

Imagine me respecting Nazi Jack! It happened!

People get caught up in the fantasy. Sometimes cooking meth in a superlab and making millions of dollars in cash looks like a pretty great thing. They don't want wives and cops to interfere with the fantasy, but that's what makes the show great. I love and root for everyone in this show, which is a problem because they are often at odds with each other. The White family vacation in the Bahamas with all that money was never, ever going to happen.

I think the fact that people hate Skyler (why?) or Hank is a testament to the writing and Brian Cranston's performance. Walt is a well intentioned man but he's also a complete monster.

Beautiful analysis, bro!!!

[Killer Iguana]

Interesting article. I had no idea Skyler was so hated. I love her character. Walt talks about protecting his family. But, Skyler is the real protector of the family.

I had to re-watch it this morning. I agree, the phone call was to let Skylar off the hook. Watching it again, you can see it in her face when she clues in. They are essentially saying their goodbyes without tipping off the police who are monitoring the call.

A very emotional episode for sure. The scene with Walt and holly really pulled at the proverbial heart strings.

Edit: Also, just wanted to say that this was probably the finest hour of television I've ever seen. There's still quite a bit to happen in these last two episodes.
