Breaking Bad: season 5 - Page 141 - OOTV -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

amazing staging in the bedroom sequence, one of the best shot scenes i've seen on tv. between that and the slow camera movement during walt's self-congratulatory speech as skylar thinks about going into the pool - tremendous stuff, really.

oh man and i forgot about the scene with walt and walt jr. driving in with amazing cars, which i took as a fantasy sequence which quickly turned into horrible/awesome reality.

Yes. So good.

I wonder if people will re-consider the awesomeness of "Fly" now.

I'm dumb but could someone explain what the fly episode repersented?

only thing I can think is it showed that Walt has lost it and is OCD

Was it cause it showed how he can control jesse??

Whats the significance (if any) of the waitress at the start of first episode of the season saying "free is good" and the mechanic at the start of this episode saying "can't beat free."Did anyone else notice this or think it might be,in anyway,of any significance?

Crazy ass prediction: Jesse gets pinched and is willing to take the rap for being Heisenberg, but Walt's ego gets in the way and he admits to being Heisenberg rather than letting Jesse get the credit.

Ohhhh

Walt leaving the 100 for the waitress wasn't because he wanted to be remembered, it was because he's too proud to let her think that he needs a free meal

I'm a non-US viewer, didn't see that it was a $100 bill. This makes me think Walt knows at that point that he no longer needs the money as he'll be dead soon. He certainly seemed past the point of showing off by selling his car for $50, so I doubt he's just flaunting the cash.

I read the $100 a lot more as "I'm going out in a blaze of glory and don't need money" than anything else.

Yeah, that's what I meant. He seemed like he couldn't give a **** about showing off in the flash forward, going by the scraggly hair and fake ID.

In case my phrasing wasn't clear, this was what I was trying to say. I can only imagine which group of people is gonna be on the end of that M60.

I heard a click...pretty sure the point of it was that you could interpret it a number of different ways. Hence the people going "OMG there's a bomb in the watch" or whatever. I'd be surprised if it were a gun.

Was just a sound effect or whatever 100% sure it wasn't something significant going on. It was a symbolic scene obv.

I was flipping through the channels the other night and noticed Mike in a movie as the foreign baddy in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0231402/. LoL. And the other baddy was Wynn Duffy from Justified.

Anyway, you said people are "bad at watching TV" if they still look up to Walt as a role model, thus implying looking up to him as a role model in the past was indicative of being "good at watching TV", but it is not anymore. A bold assumption of mine was that you view yourself as being "good at watching TV", hence having looked up to Walt as a role model in the past.

I guess I was wrong.

Also I don't view Walt as evil (hence the quotes in my post when saying "evil things"). Walt has surely done some ****ed up things, but Good and Evil are the kind of strong words I tend to not use when describing characters (unless I'm watching a Disney movie i guess). My morals aren't black and white.

In the beginning, Walt wasn't *that* bad. There were hints of him being a dick, but it could have gone either way. But at this point, there is no excuse anymore. But if I say A -> B, that doesn't mean that Not A -> Not B.

It's pretty hard to have any sense of the word evil if Walt isn't included it. If you don't think he is a very bad person, then there aren't many people left in the world you might consider very bad.

I tried some of your product and it didn't even do anything.

Would be the start of a great scene

They have had a few Pulp Fiction inspired scenes. That one would take the cake.

Is Walt more likely to fake Skyler's suicide or to have her disappeared?

Pretty sure LostOstrich's post was a well-executed level that seems to have gone over a few people's heads.
