When Walt, Jesse and Saul are having their meeting, Walt says "If Gus can manage it so can we."

Next word out of Walt's mouth: "Precurser"

One of the definitions of a precurser is "a person, animal, or thing that goes before and indicates the approach of someone or something else".

This is probably confirmation that Walt and Jesse (and probably Saul because he was in the conversation too) die.

It would feel like Lost if they did that.

Almost guaranteed. Nice call. This would be awesome, and randomness like that is completely BBs style. Walt and Gus did cook (food) together that one night if I remember correctly.

I think this was more for us than Hank

I could also reeeeeaaally go for a big bowl of Kellog's Raisin Bran Crunch® cereal.

They're 2 episodes for 2 with the over the top product placement this year. Kind of off-putting, but if that's all you have to complain about a show, then it's probably an awesome show.

Building from the ground up...been waiting to see this since Combo was killed and they gave up.

"We need a proper infrastructure, we need foot-soldiers and we need dealers on a street level that are rock solid, we need muscle and we need enforcers..."

"Layered...like nachos"

also, BRING BACK BADGER.

Solid, I like it.


Thought the same thing at first.

been alluding to it often.

the real light bulb goes off when hank finds out who is paying for his medical stuff.

yes


no, Walt is just speaking like a douchebag again. Similar to pretty much everything he said last week.

I don't think Walt knows of anything, he just KNOWS it's coming.

Mike is the nuts. Although maybe not for the plots sake but I would've liked to have seen him kill Lydia. Very rarely do we see women get killed on cable television like that and it would've solidified Mike as the GBOAT (Badass) if he had pulled the trigger. Especially since the whole "No half-measures speech" and him witnessing what leaving loose ends can do (Gus not killing Jesse or Walt).

The gripe I have and obviously the show would've taken a much different route if it happened but I feel like Hank should definitely have discovered Walt by now. the guy is supposed to be a top DEA agent, he figures out a philanthropist who owns chicken restaurants is involved but cant figure out that a family member who has paid thousands in bills for him? Along with all the other subtle clues and hints, he should've at least aroused some suspicion by now. Only thing I can think of is that maybe Hank has none this entire time and has kept it a secret to protect Walt. I call it the Paterno effect. Joe knows his long time friend and assistant coach is a molester but can't tell anyone or turn him in because he's to close to him and it will affect his empire he built. Same could apply to Hank in that he doesn't have the heart to turn in his brother-in-law and tarnish his family name. I could be very wrong and sound like an idiot but i could see that being revealed.

I think it's a stone cold lock to say that Jonathan Banks will get a best supporting Emmy nomination next year.

Given that they nominated ****ing Gus over him last year I don't think that's clear at all. Especially since Paul is guaranteed a nomination and Norris is pretty clearly going to have a pretty big role this year and has been shafted the past couple of years.

The methylamine is what makes the "blue" blue. Hence I don't think it's really anything at all for meth producers, and certainly not a problem, because no one but Heisenberg uses it.

You are stating speculation as fact.

Also, as a German native speaker I can say that the pronunciation during the opener was almost flawless by everyone, even though no one seemed to have the slightest clue what they were saying .

None of the actors were native Germans, but they surely had a very good memorization of what for them is pure gibberish (plus probably a pretty good coach).

It's really hard to get to 11 people before 1 flips. Once they start hearing people are getting dropped for not talking, what the **** do you expect them to do?

imo its not so much about mike being busto, its more about keeping the rest of 11 silent. like if they have money coming in they wont do stupid things like the hitman that was supposed to kill mike did.

I think this show might be finally turning me against Walt - in the searching-Jesse's-house scene, when Jesse started to break down, it kinda hit me where I started looking at Walt differently, like, maybe I'm not rooting for you anymore. Obviously the scene with Skylar at the end didn't help either.

The scene with Mike and the would-be assassin was amazing. It took me a moment when the camera was behind Chow's head, flanked by Mike and Chris to realize the back of it was blown open. Then Mike asking, "you ready?" Wow.

I think that the methlylamine is probably the key component or at least the most rare, seeing as Jesse was unable to source it...Mike likely knows that if they need him for this part of the procedure then it is methylamine that they need him to source.

Im the same, only there's no "maybe" about it. I know Walt's been the "bad guy" for awhile, but I still rooted for him for the most part. That ended after that scene; it really drove home just how ****ed up Walt is for jerking jesse around like that, and he doesnt even seem to care. I definitely want to see Jesse get Walt now

Eat your ****ing cornflakes, Walt Jr.

Yeah all of this.

It isn't a weak plot point that Mike is aware of the difficulty in obtaining Methyl.

That episode was unbelievably good.

Walt's family is gonna hate him. Skyler does already and the kid has lost his appetite which is a sign.

Does anyone feel similarities with the series 'The Shield'? Especially the last season.

I'm afraid I can see a Jesse suicide ala Shane from the Shield. Walt's family will get witness protection and go into hiding from Walt (also like the Shield)

The crescendo of the series is gonna be surreal I think with the 3 hugely egotistical bald badass guys going for it. Who will win?

WTF no. The precurser is a part of making meth. I mean even if it wasn't that this is so strained I'd assume you're joking but you can't assume that in this thread.

I've read a few things on some other forums which suggest they might focus on secondary characters more this season basically flipping the series because Walt is now the big bad and we need to see how he effects the others. Walt may become a secondary character in the way an antagonist is normally used.

They are also doing a great job with the cinematography framing Walt as the bad guy this season with the close ups, off camera speeches, and angles used.

Ok I'll admit again I must be dumb. I'm not seeing whatever I'm suppose to see in this post.

+1. The final scene is obv supposed to mirror the scene where Walt has sex with Skyler after the RV shootout. In that scene Skyler is surprised in a good way: "Walt! Is that YOU?" In this scene she's on the brink of tears, not getting out of bed, but Walt goes ahead and takes what he wants anyway without any regard at all for what she wants. It's not that he doesn't know she's feeling bad, it's that he doesn't care. I won't derail with the R word but Walt is def going full psychopath.

Yeah i don't really get it either, the first one is kind of obvious but meh.

2nd picture is suppose to be some kind of camera? if so it's pretty obvious for anyone in the house

3rd picture kind of looks like it is a tv screen looking in on the room, but I can't tell if it was a shot actually taken with a camera of their tv because of that amc hd sign in a different position. (im going to go watch this part again)
