They were not expecting the driver to leave though, he might have the only keys.

Still doubt it's a major problem though. They have tons of time before anyone realizes the kid is missing.

Im sure the Indian guy just takes the lackey to town and drops him off

He's played by a relatively famous comedian named Bill Burr, which is why he is more recognisable to some people than to others.

I hate when a celebration ends up with a dead kid.

This thread is so awful it's impossible to differentiate levels from stupid questions at this point.

You are not the only. Nice post.

This too. I got pretty disappointed when I was right about anything concerning LOST and learned my lesson pretty quick.

Mike, at least, is going to have the presence of mind to get rid of the body, and it will just be a missing kid.
Pretty much this.

The Skyler/Walt conflict is festering too much to last much longer. She's made it clear to him that her only priority is protecting the kids. She has to be close to going to Hank to cut a deal, and even if she's not, Walt has to be convinced she's about to do so.

This is very different. This was not a planned kill and it happened "in broad daylight" with a very loud and clear shot, I'm no expert but I'm going to guess that there is a very large perimter, far further than they can safely say no one is around, where people would have heard that gunshot. 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.

Mike should know that too.

Is there some reason why theyre not getting rid of the spider too. The kid has it on him was there something at the end that I missed that would indicate that it rolled off somewhere and no one saw it.
No obviously not but the spider was either just a way of establishing the kid or it will become an important factor like tv-shows tend to do. If it's the latter most likely they are not going to see the spider and someone else will find it.

Ep was great etc etc. One nice touch during the otherwise repetitive Skyler and Walt scene were the clocks/watch ticking in the background. Didn't notice it until the scene almost ended but on rewatch it was there the whole time and it added a bit of extra tension.

The 'out burying bodies?' is also pretty great in retrospect

But that's just it, although I imagine in her state she might not realize how culpable Hank is, Hank would get taken down with with her and Walt. I think when she mentioned cancer returning and killing him, she really meant anything - if Walter's dead, maybe she can somehow skate by with this mess.

Lol @ you

The episode was much more enjoyable and suspenseful wondering how the kid would factor in.

My guess is the kid is mikes grandson he never met
08-13-2012 , 11:51 AM
at this point, they had so many excuses to not kill lydia that if she gets killed later on i'll be more surprise than if they kill walt's baby with two headshots

Kinda bummed skinny pete and badger weren't in on train heist

Huh. The "This thread is aids" club is starting to be quite trendy. I've actually thought the thread has been pretty great after this episode, lots of good dialogue.

This show is the GOAT. I mean, maybe I have recency bias but good lord they keep producing amazing, quality episodes.

I don't think the Skylar conversation was pointless. I think it cemented where they are at ("I'm not your wife, I'm a hostage" was blunt and while we all knew that it was still sort of jarring). I also liked Walt mentioning robbing a train, it just reminded us of where their very strange relationship is at.

That was one of the most jarring endings to a TV episode ever. Not often will the credits roll with my mouth agape.

Oh man I am going to be pissed in a few weeks when this is over. At least football (and Homeland) will be starting up shortly thereafter.

the tarantula was just a cool thing to include, imo. I really doubt it was meant to be a loose end.

Can people stop quoting the spoiler about the preview for next week and making comments on it? wtf

edit. Yea, I didn't think the Skyler scene was repetitive.

OK yeah this thread is AIDS because now every guy with half a dozen "ricin cigarette" theories is going to start including spider venom in them.

I'm with daryn on the conspiracy theories. Between the kid's introduction and his death there were like 40 minutes of television. Just sit tight and trust that the writers will get to him.

And you'd be prepared to draw and fire as quickly as Todd did? I really doubt that without significant experience (especially since, as you said, you'd never fired a gun and you're basically guessing as to how difficult it is).
