lol everyone with the names make me giggle so much and I have no idea why

how the hell is jesse going to get to and fro the lab without drawing heat to it? everyone in law enforcement knows he's knee deep in it.

But Hank was the only one who gave a ****

Never thought about that, pretty interesting.

Gus has already signed off on this, right?

Well, that doesnt really matter, does it? The decision was made before Hank got shot, so they couldnt assume he would stop following.

i'm pretty sure that hank disclosed everything he knew about pinkman in his internal affairs report. doubt the nmdea just stops looking at pinkman at all, especially considering hank just had a hit put on him by god knows who in their eyes.

Saul was saying that the beating was his get out of jail free card. Didn't he say that the DEA wouldn't want to touch him for fear he'd press charges or make it public?

I think that the DEA believes Hank was following him on a wild goose chance for no reason as there was no solid evidence linking him to Heisenberg. I doubt Jesse gets any heat after this unless Hank is healthy and back to active duty.

Walt seems to prefer being with or helping Jesse more than he does keeping the heat off him, and Gus had effectively already put out a hit on Hank at the time he reluctantly agreed to let Jesse back in.

1. Gus might not even know about the Jesse situation
2. The DEA was following him for all Gus knows
3. It seems like a huge risk to me

Gus knows everything, mang.

Two cartel heavy hitters tried to whack Hank. Hank at least - and maybe even his DEA bosses - are going to conclude that Jesse is a much bigger fish than they thought. They might even think that Jesse is Heisenberg.

It would be pretty ****ed up if the DEA decides that Jesse is likely Heisenberg but they can't do anything to him because of Hank beating him up.

Some of the people posting itt are too stupid to watch this show. IMO this was the best episode of any tv program anywhere in the world, ever.

+lots

why would you insult people and then say this was the best episode. they had a freaking shootout where 2 people emptied 2 clips on someone, the someone survived and killed the 2nd guy with a sick head shot while being under pain that hindered him from moving.

how could this be the best episode of all time?

Same. But if someone busts out with 'Hanck' or 'Wadlt', I might have to get all private joker up in this.

I really fail to understand why people watch television?

This is an artistic endeavour, and as such they are allowed a certain degree of artistic license.

If you want your television to be realistic, watch big brother.

my favourite part of the scene was the axe grinding along the ground.

You really think the shoot out scene fits in the whole plot? I think it doesnt at all.

I think it fits in quite nicely with the entire ethos of plot-writing on breaking bad. Just because it doesn't fit in with your pre-existing views of how the plots on tv shows should run, doesn't mean it's bad. This is one of the things that's great about Breaking Bad - they're not afraid to subject the show to horrendous cliche, but at the same time they are very original and different when it comes to plot developments.

In my opinion, a shoot out is neither innovative nor exciting, it's low level action movie material.

They did a great job with the plot before and I didnt think the eipsode was bad until the last scene, which was just awful.

You do. We don't. That doesn't give you license to call others stupid, because IMO it,s the other way around (stupid being receiving this ep as "best ep of any series, ever"; it's not even the best ep this season).

Once again, do some of you even watch the show? Someone asked why Walter kept visiting Jesse in his Hotel Room. Really? Hotel Room?

I think some of the stuff at the end was a little meh but you guys are really over reacting. You do realize that people have been shot 10-15 times and can still function? Theres also a story of a guy in the army that was shot over 30 times and was still functioning and lived.

If you take out the "Too Easy" line and replace it with something that is more affirmative that he doesnt deserve to be killed that easy I think it would make everything fine.

Also for those that dont understand why Walt got ride of Gale and replaced with Jesse, just stop watching the show or pay attention. If you have watched the first 2 seasons and all the episodes this season and cant comprehend that, you fail.

I'm still going to say that Walt genuinely liked Gale and found his life story fascinating.

While this may be true him learning all of walts secrets was making walt way less valuable and replacable. Also he needed a reason to keep Jesse in check. He killed 2 birds with 1 stone.

Hank didnt just get shot like the guys you are talking about. He was aimed at, got shot, seriously injured, couldnt move and the other guy decides to take an axe instead of the weapon to kill him, yeah this has happened 1 million times...

With no worry about police too. How grand is that...

yeah, true.
