If Hank lets the Crystal Meth genius chemist go without arresting him than it would be pretty stupid, this isn't getting busted for a DUI or selling a pound of Weed, Walt is a murderer who is supplying the Southwest with Crystal Meth.

I hope it plays out where Hank is the first DEA agent to find out about Walt(seems like a certainty). It would be quite the choice between his posh career, ending Heisenberg, ruining his Walt/Skyler/Walt Jr.

Why do so many people who love film not understand the general basics of shooting a scene?

Azaria's reaction is not in that shot. They filmed it after, so if Pacino did, in fact, improvise that line, when it was time to shoot Azaria's reaction to it, he was not "genuinely surprised."

lol that's awful.

With Matt Damon being the only one not laughing it makes it look like he was on the bad end of some awful prank.

No idea if they did or not... but why can't they have two cameras for the same shot?

Breaking Bad is really good at creating such intense, viscerally thrilling set pieces, that it causes the viewer to forget that some stuff doesn't really make all that much sense. That was an excellent episode of tv.
08-13-2012 , 09:14 PM
Yeah, it feels like it is building towards that, Hank getting fired because of Walt. However for that to actually happen, the show has to go further after when Walt is found out. This makes me think that future Walt is exactly in that scenario. He is found out and is on the run from the DEA.

Seems strange to me that Walt is going to get in a shootout with the DEA. Seems more likely to be some rival imo.

Andy Greenwald on Grantland had a good take on the tarantula:

Quote:
This notion of consequences has always figured heavily in Breaking Bad’s highly moral and tightly wound universe — we were taught two years ago that there are no half measures. But the lesson has never been as artfully or brutally conveyed as it was last night. The poor, doomed Grit delivery boy from the teaser — lonely and risk-taking, like a denim-clad mini-Pinkman — was brave enough to fondle the tarantula for a few fleeting seconds. But what he really wanted was to own the danger, to carry it home with him; to have it under control. This, of course, isn’t possible. The bug stayed in its bottle, but the kid got bit anyway.

So if Hank found about Walt privately and not the whole DEA at once, I don't think it's impossible that he could be convinced to let it go for all the aforementioned reasons.

I still don't think that's what's going to happen though.
Yeah Walt has ****ed Hank pretty good

Could be Mexican cartel, Madrigal henchmen once Lydia finds out Walt is the one that killed Gus, DEA, or the 2 dudes from Home Depot.

That Mexican guy in the truck who was the good semaritan seemed suspicious to me.

Doesn't need to be the DEA though. I think the Walt we have today would not commit suicide or go to jail (or even succumb to cancer for that matter). He could just try and take revenge on whoever turned him in or even some other crazy **** when he's backed into a corner.
08-13-2012 , 09:38 PM
Man, I laughed WAY too hard at that.

They could, but it's rare on a big-budget movie dialog scene. You want to concentrate on one performance at a time when shooting closeups.

In a big action scene where something is blowing up, okay, that makes sense.

Bu I'm just being a nit now.

They have no idea how many time they have. I'm not saying that the cops will running down before they clean up, that would be very unlike the show and I'm not even saying the likelihood is large that anyone actually heard it and reports it in. But this isn't the same as cleaning up a planned kill, they will have to sacrifice thoroughness because of the situation they are in.
that handgun isn't very loud, someone would need to be fairly close to them to hear it while driving in a car with a radio going. if that happened it probably wouldn't matter because a noise like that out in the middle of the desert isn't going to make anyone call the police.

Finally got around to last nights episode. The last 25 minutes were really, REALLY tense. I was not expecting the new guy to shoot the little boy, wtf.

The German who came to meet Hank with 10 dudes is going to come back in play at some point. My guess is Walt will need the machine gun for that dude.

Nah I meant when Mike told him to stop the robbery because the "obstacle" had been removed and the train was just about to start rolling. And Walt was just like "We´re not done yet", putting the whole operation at a massive risk "just because he could". The kid might never even turn up if they just finish right where Mike says so.

I couldn't help myself. I guessed Heisenberg. I was incorrect. But how cool would that have been if it were correct?

(It was Edward Teller, whom I've never heard of. But I'm glad Walt didn't pick "Teller" for his pseudonym.)
Edward Teller's thesis advisor was....Werner Heisenberg
