Breaking Bad

[InJoy]

i cant believe im such a nerd about a television show, but FUCK MAN, this show is a fucking artistic masterpiece.............

I feel the same i actually hate tv so what the fuk am i doin talkin about a tv show.

i don't have a tv cell phone or micro wave so you could say geekin out about a tv show is out of character but i agree this is art.


check this what if Gus is one of the dudes from iran contra scandal hehe

 

[Durdy]

The last few minutes of that episode were tense!!! Gave me the chills, Gus is one OCD mofo, haha I bet he got paranoid about leaving the car unattended for too long, should have left Tyrus or the other guy there.

How can one hope to beat a chessmaster at chess?

You gotta change the game...

 

[headiez247]

intensity. I love it.

'Tronic' is on the right track....

Season finale next week bitches. Shit is going dooooown

 

[redbudduckfoot]

Yep, missed last week, but watched both episodes back to back tonight. I was so pumped with the carbomb and shit, the final scene reminded me of kill bill 2 when Uma was outside Budds trailer, and even though he couldn't see her out there in the night, he knew.

I have a love/hate relationship with gus's character, but you gotta respect his mastery and attention to detail.

Good to see walt and Jesse together again.

Hope a stray bullet pops Marie in the throat.

 

[Kalicokitty]

Wow, you're not getting Gus that easily.
If Gus knew that Jesse had that poison that he intended to use on him, and now he's attempted to lure Gus into an assassination, this does not bode well for Jesse.

I think someone big character-wise is going to be cashing their chips in next week.

No clue what they're going to do for 16 more episodes, it looks like the whole series could be wrapped up next week.

I hope they don't split the remaining episodes into two seasons, but I have a sneaking suspicion they will

Another great episode.

However, it does seem to me Jesse blew it:

I can't understand why (beyond a pure mistake due to anger, rage, etc.) he would tell Gus that the kid was poisoned when Gus just said the kid was sick. Surely, it would have been better for the plan had he just said, "the kid is really sick and I can't leave" rather than going out of the way to make it clear it was poison. Up until that point you have a much higher chance Gus will buy the whole situation -- as soon as poisoning is mentioned it lets Gus know there's a greater chance Jesse/Walt know what he was up to.

I was a bit baffled how Gus was able to sniff out that something might be up with the car, but then I realized he must have been going over things on the walk back to the car -- one of things he must have thought about is that by Jesse knowing the kid was poisoned there was a decent chance that he also knew by what or by whom. Especially if he then thought that Jesse would likely go and confront Walt and they would have talked -- he knows Walt is a pretty clever guy and would surely consider he could figure it out.

Also good to see Walt pulling out the chemistry set to get some stuff done -- I was figuring we would see some type of chemistry based solution coming up -- hope there might be more to come along that line.

i thought the purpose of the ricin was that it would take a couple days to take action before the person would get sick so walt and jesse could kill gus w/o causing too much suspicion on them.

jesse said he saw the cigarette in his pack the morning the kid got sick.

i hope the season finale is a 2 hr episode... i cant believe its almost over!

 

[HempHut]

Symptoms from ricin poisoning can appearing in the 1-12 hour range, so that's consistent with what we've seen -- remember, the kid isn't dead.

The idea with reference to killing Gus was that it would take a couple days for him to die. He would fall ill in a few hours, but it would look like the flu or some other illness to begin with and then die a day or two later.

 

[LayedBack]

Well the season finale was awesome, and I do think there will be plenty of room for one final season and I'm not worried the writers of BB haven't disapointed me yet.

 

[InJoy]

ok who cares if Gus is gay...

Vince is clever...

So is HempHut...

that means Gus is goin for Jesse right about now.

Wasn't the Hermonos emblem on the rearview mirror moving in a car; he had not been in for a while?

One other thing Jesse don't know shit, If I had a lethal poison in my pack or coat, and the second his GF said the kid was sick with flu like but they didn't know. I would have known instantly. I thought jesse did to when he was asked if hes the father and says no and is told he cant go into ICU i thought Jesse would check his pack seconds later, Not walk out to the lot and only figures it out when hes confuse which cigarette he picked.

 

[HempHut]

Wasn't the Hermonos emblem on the rearview mirror moving in a car; he had not been in for a while?

I went back and looked at that and it was pretty damn still. The camera angle moved and may have given the impression of a slight movement, but even if it had moved that much Gus would need super human eyesight to notice it, I would think. Also, Walter was back across the road on the roof by that time, so even if he had nudged the thing it should have stopped moving by then. Unless he left a car window open allowing a breeze I don't see how it could still be moving.

Also, as far as I can tell Walt was building a pipe bomb from what we saw in the kitchen, so I'm not sure why he would need to go into the interior. In fact, I would think he would want to avoid going in at all costs. My impression was/is that Walt would be placing a pipe bomb on the underside of the vehicle to be remotely triggered when he could see Gus was in there. I guess it's possible he planted it inside, but that seems pretty odd and much riskier.

or gus could have gained respect for jesse because jesse never used it...

i have heard that the final season will be one season of 16 episode......

that emblem was in a different position when gus came out and perhaps that is what sealed the deal on gus's thought to just stop and turn around

if gus angled it a certain way, and its angle had changed then that would certainly arouse suspicion..... who knows though..... in my opinion, that whole scene was a clear sign that gus knows that walt and jesse had been talking..... NOT a good thing for either of them.......

 

[schwilly]

Walt was on top of a building that looked to be only a few hundred yards away. He also had his glasses on the top of his head as he was using binoculars.

Maybe gus saw the sun flashing off walt's glasses on top of a building only a few hundred yards away. Gus is too much of a stone cold og to react in an obvious fashion. He calmly walks to the edge and looks out, careful not to let his gaze linger upon the location of the flashing as he knows he has a scope or binoculars focused on his face.

Gus hasn't felt any bullets pass through his person so he knows they are just watching, waiting.

Waiting for what?

Gus looks at his volvo one last time, turns around, and decides to go to chippendales.

 

[Dislexus]

Anybody notice after Jesse is frisked by Saul's big security goon, the goon shoves something in his pocket?

That's on purpose... not that I think Walt was behind Brock's poisoning, but its there to create a little doubt.

Ricin poisoning is big news. Jesse had the mom tell the Dr's it was ricin.. of course it will be reported, Jesse will be interviewed, maybe arrested. Bad news for Gus' supply..

 

[Tronic]

Gus saw Walt's shiny dome reflection, hence the turn around. notice he never looked @ walt directly (at least from the perspective of the binoculars).

I'm sticking with my earlier drunken rant - because it makes about as much as sense as the show has so far baby!!

THis part, in particular:

"Gus' sexuality is a HUGE party of this storyline - it hast has not been completely exploited (however intelligent individuals like yourself have seen and properly interpreted the appropriate scenes).

It is very subtle. In my opinion, Gus is a relative/whatever of a very well respected cartel-esque type family in Chile, and once they discovered he liked cock, he was out. The Cartel knows this and therefore will not fuck with him. If they do, they know their supplier is oone. (other drugs)

On that note... I think that he is the son/relative of somebody VERY important in Chile's drug police/police/mafia/etc. Nobody walks at a Mexican cartel sniper knowing he wont dare shoot him. That scene confirmed it for me, Gus is a bigger player (however in my opinion a disgraced one trying to regain former glory) than we could possibly imagine. - note the vengeance Gus puts towards his 'business' - he's either proving a point to those he owes/control him (chile) or he's simply content making millions and living in dogshit ABQ eating Peruvian food.

Out of the country and existence that is.... his 'penance' aka his breaking bad is to operate this entire business (pollos hermanos, meth, cartel, etc) and that is his penance for the harm he has brought upon others (in his mind, in my opinion).

Has nobody figured it out yet? The cartel is a fucking middle man. Gus is from SOUTH AMERICA. AMERICA DE SUR. The place where the PURE, REAL, ETC product comes from. The cartel is nothing more than a middle man to Gus, a distributor. This is simple business gentleman, which almost blows the story.

Gus gets his revenge because its not legal, (which he almost has) along with the simultaneous a) renewal/relationship builder with Gus' family in Chile, once they show he has balls - thats where I think the locket goes to, south emerican kingpins that shunned the little gayboy - this is his chance to do good / prove himself. He will kill that jamacian gayboy/security/cook/wtfever or walt will - for sure.

Its a great political message and i think they'll play it out for 4 episodes or so but he will stop because his family from Chile will take him back finally because he has destroyed their middle man. little do they know it was a personal issue for him, but i have a feeling everyone will win out of this. death? yes. winning? absolutely. "

 

[Bubbly Terps]

Your face when you realized that Walt poisoned the little kid, not Gus, to frame Gus for framing Walt and thus re-win Jesse.

 

[Rukind]

yeah walt poisoned the kid. it was his only way. I doubt he used enough to actually hurt the kid but i think he did it as fucked up as that is.

thats why gus didn't go the car. he knew something was up because jesse told him he was poisoned.

the big body guard (saul's body guard) guy picked it out of jesse's pocket. you can see him sticking something in his pocket.
