Are you not interested in Jesse's intentions? No doubt he'll do something dumb, but I'm curious if he likes the new girl 'for real' or if it is for the kid or for revenge or for his own posse.

Edit: Intentions are everything to an addict: before they recover, they think they were all good. During recovery, they ARE all good, but nobody sees it. Post recovery, they still are all good, but no one appreciates it. I see Jesse struggling with the bad/good guy every week and I love it.

i think it depends on where the meth came from. As someone else posted, I also thought the last shot of last week's episode was going to be of Jesse realizing the meth Tomas was selling was the blue meth he has been cooking. If that is the case, Jesse's days are numbered. it will be the last straw for Jesse and he will do something stupid like try some half-assed plan to take Gus down. It is also a logical progression for Walt in his transformation to a ruthless drug kingpin to let his surrogate son be killed.

Now that Skyler is aboard as Walt's financial "Danny." Walt will come to realize that Jessee is the contaminant in the lab, and that he no longer has anything to offer Walt and in fact, can only harm him at this point by saying that he is Heisenberg


If it comes from a different source, Jesse may try to save Tomas by bringing it up to Walt who in turn mentions it to Gus.

This actually ties in with Jesse's "I'm the bad guy" story arc very well. This new attitude of his has been tested by the new girl in his life, and he may come to the conclusion he is not a (completely) bad guy after all.
i doubt Gus will act on it unless it is with the understanding that he knows Jesse has been stealing from him and that it won't happen in the future.

Sure Gus' 1st inclination has to be to get rid of Jesse, but he also is smart enough to realize that what was taken from him was a minuscule amount in the overall scheme of things, and unnecessary violence attracts unwanted attention.

AFAIK Jesse is not aware of Gus' actions regarding the cartel and hank and may think that working for Gus is a less dangerous way of distributing meth for both himself and the community.

Pocket Trips and other guy,

Are you saying that you thought that Gus was selling the blue meth through Tomas and that gang in town? Didn't Gus make it clear in a previous episode that he doesn't sell in his hometown? Or maybe that was a DEA scene with Hank, a map with blue meth everywhere except ABQ. Either way I was under the impression that Gus doesn't sell in his hometown and that Jesse realising the meth he bought from Tomas was the blue meth wouldn't make sense in that respect.

I think they are just speculation that they though Jesse was going to look at the meth that was sold to him and it would be the blue meth.

Was Walt selling to Gus at that time?

Yeah, I said that above, it is from season two.
It's unlikely to have changed.

Yes, that's when the blue meth started to show up around ABQ but disappeared from ABQ.
When Hank's partner visited Hank, he said Hank was right and now the blue meth is being sold in even more states/counties.

"Not that it's unexpected at this point, but this Sunday's "Breaking Bad" is INSANE. What an incredible season."

Again, tv critcs raving about the upcoming episode.

I do remember a conversation between Gus and Walt when they 1st met about how and where Gus distributed his product, but I thought Gus just said that he didn't sell near his restaurants. I could be wrong though.

No, at the time of the murder Walt and Jesse were cooking and trying to sell directly through Jesse's friends. So it wasn't possible that they were selling Jesse's stuff, but now that Jesse is part of Gus' operation, it is a possibility that he has become part of the organization that was responsible for his friend's death, which could be the tipping point that causes Jesse to try something really dumb that will get him killed.

It seems like the mistake he doesnt want to happen again is the meth not being produced on time or less than the full amount, also why do people think shes getting together with walt. I understand that she did say that she didnt file the divorce papers but the reason is that it means she wouldnt be forced to testify. That in addition to her wanting to be part of the business to me seems like shes just trying to protect herself and her best interests.

it just bothers me they keep running promos sayign "only 2 episodes left of the best show on television" or somethign of that nature, without ever using the "season" qualifier. I find it odd I haven't heard the term "Season Finale" used at all.

That being said, it would blow my mind if it ended.

Gus fully understands why Walt was late that week, It was one of the primary reason's he showed up st the hospital. He showed up there to let Walt know that he knew EXACTLY what was going on and not to lie to him in the future.

The amount being produced has never been an issue for Gus either. Even with Jesse's skimming the yield has consistently been ~ 1-2 lbs over 200.

The mistake Gus was referring to is most likely Jesse. There was another shot this week of Jesse looking like a fly with the respirator on the top of his head along with him making an annoying sound that makes it blatantly obvious that we are supposed to think that he is the true contaminant Walt was really obsessing over last week.


The show has a consistent history of foreshadowing major events that make me think Walt and Jesse's relationship is coming to an end. Whether or not they kill him off is debatable. I explained in my past few posts how I think Jesse's situation will be resolved depending on the source of the meth he bought last week.

There is zero chance this show ends this season. Discussing it is pretty stupid.

That would be quite the development, if Walt is active in the decision to kill Jesse. It could happen. But it seems more likely that it won't be his call, and he won't want to do it (unless he goes really "Bad" from here). Like Walt warned Jesse at the end of Fly, he can't protect him from these people. He might not be able stop it from happening, but like you said, he could probably be the catalyst for setting the wheels in motion.

I like how you refer to Jesse as Walt's surrogate son too, it's kinda funny that no matter how hard Jesse tries to be his own man, and Walt's equal, it's still not quite there. They still have that teacher/student relationship, I mean Jesse still calls him "Mr. White" every time. I don't know if he's ever called him Walt or Walter.

I agree. Especially since Gilligan has already said in interviews that he sees the show going 4 or 5 seasons.

Dish Network doesn't either. I've written them letters, hoping they wake up so we can see BB and Mad Men in HD before they go off the air (Mad Men say they're stopping after season 5).
06-04-2010 , 02:25 PM
ATT doesn't have it either. AMC is owned by cablevision, does anyone with a provider other than cablevision have AMC HD?
06-04-2010 , 02:28 PM
I have it with Time Warner. I started my service in November and I think we got the channel in December or January.
