I sort of felt like that while Walt was on the phone laying out EVERYTHING. Was a little over the top, though not necessarily out of character for this series.

IncantatioN said:Not really sure why Todd's uncle and crew fired all those rounds at the car knowing Walt was in there, those guys were brutal!
IncantatioN said:And yeah, when Hank and Gomez were out in the open, they didn't get shot?! Seeing Todd's expression as he shot those rounds was priceless heh.
IncantatioN said:Agreed, loved that moment when he felt the emotional weight behind the scenario and.him crying
Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:Of course Jesse will get away. First off, Jesse is off by himself, while everyone is distracted. Second, Jesse is in Walt's super fast car near a highway, those pickups wouldn't be able to keep pace.
Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:I didn't see it myself, but my cousin claims that he saw Gomez getting shot.
Walter said:Why are you so sure? This whole brain thing really sounds like a reach to me... And that's coming from a guy with Void as an avatar.
NightCrawler said:Ok, just finished watching. I thought this episode was ridiculous, and actually i was kinda pissed off of how incredibly far-fetched everything was plotted and how cheesy the last 5min were.

Like I said, I haven't seen it myself.Walter said:I watched the scene twice and saw nothing like that.
Why are you so sure? This whole brain thing really sounds like a reach to me...
I honestly can't tell if you're joking...Vampire_Hunter_Bob said:You’re probably right, I maybe getting too far ahead of myself, but here I’ll explain what I’m thinking.Because Hank and the brain are connected symbolically; the brain, in relation with Hank, is two things: it’s literally Hank's−store bought−brain, and it is Hank’s brainstormed plan, to trick Huell into telling on Walt. Those very literal things are both clearly owned by Hank. Hank’s brain; Hank’s plan. If the brain wasn’t so clearly Hanks I would agree that this wasn’t really foreshadowing about him. Additionally, as an image the brain is focused on twice, the first when Hank plops it on the floor and pours blood over it, and the second is when Marie finds it in the trash (at the end of the episode). Considering that, I see it as symbolism directly relating to Hank, who will most likely be covered in blood and dumped in the trash in the next episode.

NightCrawler said:The more i think of it, the more ridiculous this last episode seems to me, which for BB standards it's quite a leap. It was especially a disservice to Walter and Hank as characters.
NightCrawler said:The only way they'll get out of this without killing a main character in the beginning of the the next ep (it just seemed that the writers backpedalled at the last moment to kill Hank, or were just playing with the audience, in any case those last minutes were eye-roll inducing)
NightCrawler said:is to have Walter bargain with Todd's group to let them live and cook for them. In the process Jesse will escape in the car and in the end will sacrifice his life to save Walter/Hank. Gomez will die somewhere in between.
He's a good character. He'll make a good show. I just hope no one expects Breaking Bad Part 2.Groovy Metal Fist said:The Saul Goodman spinoff is a go, and it's going to be a prequel.So that means his fate could still technically be a toss-up. Or Vince Gilligan deliberately chose to announce the spin-off before the Breaking Bad ending to create the illusion that his fate could go either way.
I don't really know what to make of this. He was an amusing character and.for the first time in the show, we got to meet some experienced criminals who actually knew what they were doing. However, the funniest moments were the Walter White/Jesse Pinkman moments, not the Saul Goodman moments.
It's interesting for sure, but such things happen to many shows on TV. We just often don't hear about them. I think Gilligan is a particularly open book in terms of series creators, so we get to hear about all the nitty gritty.It's really shocking to see how much of the show became what it is just through a bunch of accidents.
@BryanCranston: Your comments are great. You're the reason we got to tell our story. Jimmy Fallon is doing a BB sketch on tonight's show with Aaron and me!
I can prove that baby's not yours!
Drug problem? I'll turn that addiction into a prescription!
Hancock was originally a script called Tonight He Comes, about a superhero alcoholic who could not make love because if he climaxed, he would kill a woman with the power of his climax. And it was really this kind of dark, twisted script. You know who wrote it? Vince Gilligan …
… So I came on, and Will Smith is a perfectionist, and he will just drive writers into the ground. I say this with respect, but Will will do 10-12 hour meetings and by the time I got on, Vince had been heavily into the process with Will and his team. I came in and I didn’t really understand the history. Vince was going to go do another rewrite on the script. I didn’t realize this was probably rewrite 10, and I had heard that Vince had this TV show he wanted to go and do, and I was like, ‘Whatever. You have to finish this script. It was something about a chemistry teacher who gets cancer, and I was like, ‘Whatever, dude. You gotta finish the script.’
Vince finished the script, and I thought he was going to stay on and keep writing. But when he finished the script he was like, ‘OK. Alright, I’m out of here, and I’m going to go do this TV show.’ So I called Vince, and I was like, ‘What the hell? You can’t run out on us!’ I was at a Laker game, and I was talking kind of loud, and I was a bit intense. I was probably a little younger and more immature than I am today, and I was raging on at Vince, probably dropping a few F-Bombs at him.
There was a long pause, and he kind of accused me of being drunk. He’s like, ‘Pete, are you drunk.’ And I’m like, ‘No, I am not drunk. How can you leave us to go do your television show and your stupid idea. And I basically said fine, F-you, and I hung up.
And then I tried to get people to take my side, and I said, ‘Can you believe that Vince did this? And everyone was saying, ‘Vince Gilligan is the most decent human being we’ve ever met, Pete. Pete, we don’t understand what you’re talking about.’ I couldn’t get any support at all for my rage against Vince.
Of course, it turned out that Vince knew what he was doing because it was Breaking Bad that he was going to do.
I do the same. Been watching on Amazon. It's even more ideal for me, because I don't even get the recap shit before the episode. I hit play, it shows the episode as it's meant to be seen. No bullshit. Credits roll.

AMC is the absolute worst.Griffith said:Once again, outstanding work television programmers.
Griffith said:For example, the preview for the next episode clearly only uses footage from the current episode whileplaying a voice mail from Skyler to Walt asking if everything's ok. So yeah, Skyler wants to know where Walt went. SPOILED!
