Breaking Bad (here there be spoilers)

Three minutes into the premiere, and I already notice something. Not only does Walt look like Gordon Freeman, HE HAS A CROWBAR!

That is all.[DOUBLEPOST=1376269512,1376269446][/DOUBLEPOST]Ok... it might be a tire iron instead...
 
Just posted this in media.

Holy shit, trying to watch Dexter (something I've been doing so far this season that feels like a chore more than actual enjoyment) after Breaking Bad was like being asked to saw off my dick directly after receiving the world's greatest blowjob.

Looks like you're out Dex.
 
This is an amazing video montage.

Spoilers up through all but the second half of the last season (which we're on now) so, you know, be warned.

I haven't watched the show at all, but I know enough to know that this is hilarious*.

You know, I like reading the AV Club reviews and the comments because you can get some good insightful commentary in there (fucking shocker) sometimes. This episode, nothing but Walt Jr. breakfast "jokes". That didn't stop being funny fucking years ago. God damn internet.

Even bleeding on the desert floor and about to die, Hank was an uncompromising badass.

Dude man and that was just the first 20. That episode was rough the whole way through.

RIP Gommie you didn't even really care that much about the blue meth :(
 
So I'm just gonna go ahead with what I think is going to happen (which inevitably won't be close to correct:

Walter goes back to kill the Nazis and save Jesse. Jesse (understandably) does not like Walter very much. Emotional conversation where Jesse forgives him, only to find that he actually used the ricin on Walt. Walt accepts his fate, goes to see his family one last time and tells them he's going to die and leaves them the money. He kills himself before the poison takes over, but the autopsy finds the poison in him, which causes Marie to get arrested for killing him (remember she mentioned looking up poisons to her therapist).

Solid theory except that I think walt doses himself with the ricin. I'm not seeing a plausible way for it to change hands from walt to Jesse where Jesse can poison him. Also I don't think Walt thinks Jesse is alive and will probably stumble upon him while he is exacting revenge against the Nazi's.
 
I'm not gonna spoiler this because it's based entirely on knowledge of the show up to date and writing this is more effort than typing spoiler tags so I'm not even sure why I did it instead of spoiler tags.

@blotsfan Solid theory, but Walt needs to find out that Jesse isn't dead first since as far as he currently knows, Jesse has a bullet in his head.
 
Anybody else hear that Saul is getting his own spin-off series? I'm looking forward to his and Huell's new adventures together.

The Huell emoticon... /-_-\

Yeah, like Timmus said I meant that he'll find Jesse when killing nazis. Not that his motivation for going there is to save him.

Yeah, that makes some sense.

I posted before reading Timmus' post. I should have done that.

The Baby Holly moment with Walt in the restroom was a standout moment. How did that work out so well?

We got really lucky, actually. You can't really direct a baby. We were playing at the scene, and originally as written it was just going to be a beat where Bryan lifts Baby Holly up to eye level, and just looking at her Walt has this change of heart and realizes he can't do it. He lifted up the baby, and the baby's mom was three feet away behind the camera, and the baby had eye contact with the mom, and she started saying the word "mama" over and over. Bryan used it and played it perfectly. Obviously the baby was brilliant, but the credit goes to Bryan for using that and playing off of it so well. That's the sort of thing you can never plan, and you have to go with it when it happens.
Bryan Cranston is getting every Emmy ever made for the next 19 years.

And give one to the baby too.

Man, all that happened in that episode, and to me, the most heart wrenching scene was the baby saying "Mama" repeatedly.
