Breaking Bad: season 5 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Okay, kids. It's still 5 weeks away, but now that promos are coming out and anticipation is ramping up, let's start the discussion.

Season 4 and its mind-blowing awesomeness are behind us. Gus is a crispy corpse, Walt & Jesse are on good terms (but Jesse doesn't know yet about Walt's malicious poisoning of Brock nor his negligence in letting Jane choke to death on her own vomit), and as far as Skyler knows, Walt won.

16 episodes left in the greatest show in the history of TV. Will they ratchet up the intensity even more, as they have done every season since the beginning? Will Hank pursue his white whale -- Heisenberg?

We're not done yet. We're done when Heisenberg says we're done.

I approve of this thread in its current state

Lets hold off on the faux debates on whether or not Ted is dead though so we can keep this thread awesome?

I seriously got goosebumps at that 5-second teaser. Cannot wait for this to come back, especially now with GoT and Mad Men over

Predictions for first half of the season:

-Walt cooking under carwash, Jesse will work with him
-Gus his empire will not just have disappeared with his death
-Cartel massacre will be a (probably minor) plot point
-Mid season finale will have 2 giant cliffhangers:
*Walt and Jesse relationship will fall apart forver in a giant fight, setting up for Walt vs Jesse.
*Hank will have a solid connection putting either Walt or Jesse as Gus his former cooks.

Subscribed. I've already watched that 10 seconds teaser trailer four times. This next months wait is gonna be so brutal now that Game of Thrones is over.

I always think of this when I hear "Ted's dead":

Great show. Cant wait. Im really disappointed that they said this is the final season. Simply because something of course is going to happen, so it would of been so epic just to end the season without saying anything. Like for instance if Walt dies in the final episode, it could easily happen just because we know its the final episode of the series. If we didnt know we'd be completely shocked.

Part of me is worried that S5 can't live up to the perfection that is S3 and S4...but I guess I said the same thing after S3. Even if it's not as good as the last two seasons, though, it's still going to be amazing. #CANTWAIT

Nah. GOAT show gonna GOAT finale that sh*t.

I've been more intrigued by the major conflicts that are left to deal with then I have been with the one that have been dealt with, for the most part. Mostly because we knew how those would end. Tuco had to go, Gus had to go, the cousins had to go.

For the major conflicts that are left, I've considered a ton of scenarios for each and I like all of them. The only way it's not going to be GOATOTGOAT is if they deliberately botched it

Can't wait. I started the series a month ago and have been overwhelmed with how great this show this. It's going to be nice to follow the thread on a regular basis, I enjoyed reading through the S4 thread except for a few crazy discussions.
