Done with season two, can't believe they left it that way! Need to watch season 3 ASAP! All the caracters are so well written, I'm still anticipating for more Heisenberg,because as I see it he's becoming less human after every decision he makes, I really thought he would leave immediately to the hospital instead of finishing the deal and left the poor girl to die too. The final two episodes were freaking awesome,i knew the bits at the beginning of the mayorilty of the episodes were involved with the finale/beginning of S3, why the plane crash though? Is it something that is going to be relevant later? Did the father of Kristen Ritter's character (can't remember her name sorry) did it in purpose or distraction? Also I really dislike some parts of Walter's wife, urging the first season I felt lik she was suck a control freak and there was no actual relationship with Walter, Walter being away didn't help either... There's so much going on that I could continue on and on but I need some sleep right now so I'm leaving it here :)

Not sure did you pay attention to the episode titles b/c they were Easter Eggs hinting to the season finale smily%20new%20one.gif Here are all the episode title. The ones bolded are the ones with the pink teddy bear:

Seven Thirty-Seven

Grilled

Bit by a Dead Bee

Down

Breakage

Peekaboo

Negro y Azul

Better Call Saul

4 Days Out

Over

Mandala

Phoenix

ABQ

 

Also in the first episode of the season Walter estimates he needs $737K to secure his family's future--another instance of foreshadowing.

The plane crash was to illustrate the mess Walter has caused by choosing the life of crime. He had an opportunity (actually he has had many opportunities but you will see more of this as the series progress) to get out of this lifestyle but he refuses to let it go. The point is to illustrate for every action/behavior there will be a chain reaction (butterfly effect) and cause & effect---sometimes in bigger ways than you can imagine. It also sometimes does not just affect you & those close to you, but also those innocent who you have no association with.

Here's is the L.A. Times synopsis to illustrate my points:

Walt gets cancer, doesn’t want to leave his family penniless, and so he cooks crystal meth with his former student, Jesse. Walt begins to lie -- to everyone, all the time. The operation grows. People die. More lies. Jesse meets girl, Jane, falls in love. Jesse gets overrun by the stress of making and selling all this meth and by the death of his friend, so he uses meth to escape. Jane, sober for 18 months, backslides and uses with Jesse. Jane introduces Jesse to heroin. Walt makes a giant drug deal -- $1.2 million. Walt doesn’t want to give Jesse his share of the cash until he’s clean again. Jane blackmails Walt into giving Jesse his half, clean or not. Jane’s dad realizes she’s using again, orders her to rehab, he’s picking her up the next day. That night, Walt meets Jane's dad at the bar and has an epiphany. He then goes to Jesse's place. He finds Jesse and Jane in bed, practically comatose. Jane begins vomiting in her sleep. Walt does nothing. She dies. The next day, Jane’s dad finds her dead. Dad’s an air-traffic control worker. After some time, he returns to work, he has to work. While working, he thinks of Jane, says her name, gets flustered, rattles off some wrong instructions, leads two planes into each other’s path---innocent people die.

The plane crash is relevant in the grand scheme of things. Jane's dad did not cause the crash on purpose. He was was still grieving & traumatized by Jane's death so he got distracted and accidentally gave the pilots the wrong instructions.

 

Also I really dislike some parts of Walter's wife, urging the first season I felt lik she was suck a control freak and there was no actual relationship with Walter, Walter being away didn't help either...

The actress who plays Skyler said writers & etc purposely made Skyler a bitch and a "weakling" so the viewers would sympathize with Walter (considering he is the main character) and to keep the focus on Walter.

Thanks for the info, the titles revealed the 'plot twist' but now I understand it completely as you explain it, one's actions have a domino effect in other people/situations whether involved or not. Would love to see how this plays out in the coming episodes. :) They really made Skyler a bitch though haha they worked that out perfectly lol 

Already halfway season 4  :woot:

 

Liking where the story is going A LOT. Can't wait to see what happens next. Some thoughts:

 

I have a feeling Gus is covering for someone else (maybe los dos hermanos? who knows!) Also him overprotecting Walt has me wondering wether someone else is making the decisions for him.

 

I'm glad the two mexican brothers (the ones that didnt talk) are gone, I couldn't stand them, also waiting for Tio to appear again and see how that plays out.

 

Hank's behavior towards Marie really make me sad/annoyed that exactly how my father acts sometimes being a prick/'sarcasm' and it really upsets me :( I feel for Marie.

 

What is up with Marie's obsession with the color purple? And now i see yellow being added to the mix, does this have a meaning? 

 

Anna as Skyler during the last eps of S3 and beginning of S4 makes me like her character, she plays the part really well becoming an essential part of Walt's job and her baby is super cute :D

 

I feel that Walt feels others think of him as a loser and you can feel he jus twants to scream "I'm Heisenberg I cook the best meth!" to get some recognition. But who could blame him.

 

Also I'm seeing Heisenberg in him a lot more, somewhat like an alterego, every situation where he gets angry I see Heisenberg.

 

Jesse seems to really struggle, the parties he made at his house were just for him to feel he hasn't problems that big, whereas the guests had it worse in some kind of way. He pairing up with Mike got me intrigued. I genuinely thought he would never do drugs again.

 

I also feel that in the end of this season Walter will have enough of Skyler's planned life and will do something really stupid and reveal  his identity, but only time can tell :)

 

It's funny how every male character is bald now except Walter Jr. 

 

The show really plays with your emotions and I appreciate that a lot, it doesn't feel as if your only watching a show, it feels as if your watching a real life situation with people you know.

The awards were presented in a non-televised ceremony hosted by Comedy Central's Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele.


I will only respond to your comments that would not spoil the show for you :)
 

I'm glad the two mexican brothers (the ones that didnt talk) are gone, I couldn't stand them, also waiting for Tio to appear again and see how that plays out.

 
LOL...I love the Cousins :laugh: They are total bad-asses :blueeyedbaby:

The story line with Tio and what is going to happen is definitely interesting & epic smily%20new%20one.gif
 

Hank's behavior towards Marie really make me sad/annoyed that exactly how my father acts sometimes being a prick/'sarcasm' and it really upsets me :( I feel for Marie.


I think they made Hank a douchebag so the viewers would further sympathize with Walter, and also to show the parallel & comparison between these 2 men. It is all a built up to a showdown b/t Hank & Walt (not really a spoiler as it is pretty obvious from the beginning).
 

What is up with Marie's obsession with the color purple? And now i see yellow being added to the mix, does this have a meaning?


Like a lot of shows, BB has a color motif. Not a surprise when you have characters with last names like White, PINKman and Schwartz (Black). If you look at the colors the characters wear and the objects around them, it is a clue to the character's current state and also a foreshadowing mechanism. Here are the reoccurring colors that dominates the show:

Blue: Lots of it. It represents the meth (obviously) and how Walt's decision to cook consumes& affects everyone's lives. And let's not forget there is a main character name "Skylar" and how the meth is sometimes refer to as "Sky Blue" ;)

Red: Color of blood---> murder and death

Green: Color of money---> greed

Orange: Caution. Danger ahead

Yellow: Danger

Black: Transformation Into the dark side (chaos & etc.) or part of the dark side

Beige: Neutrality

Pink: Death (more for foreshadowing and not always literal)

I don't have a solid theory for purple b/c it is still unclear but I think it would be more apparent by the end of the series. If I were to take a guess I think it represents the delusion of regality & self-importance or it could mean loyalty.

Anna as Skyler during the last eps of S3 and beginning of S4 makes me like her character, she plays the part really well becoming an essential part of Walt's job and her baby is super cute smily%20new%20one.gif

 

Most people dislike Skylar and think she's a major bitch. I think she is ok and I don't view her as a bitch. A bit of nutcase perhaps but I don't necessarily blame her for being the way she is.

 

 

I feel that Walt feels others think of him as a loser and you can feel he just wants to scream "I'm Heisenberg I cook the best meth!" to get some recognition. But who could blame him. Also I'm seeing Heisenberg in him a lot more, somewhat like an alterego, every situation where he gets angry I see Heisenberg.

 

It is his personal insecurities, pride, ego and delusions that is an overarching theme of the show. and it is also the cause of all the shit that happens to him & around him.

 

 

It's funny how every male character is bald now except Walter Jr.

 

Here is a clue: the amount of hair corresponds to how crazy & violent the characters are ;)

Jesse is so cute. I'd love to rim his ass.

Perhaps you could dress up as a blond white chick with long hair who is big on anti-bullying or like Krysten Ritter then you can totally be his bitch! :)

^ lol second that!

PC was waiting for your response!

spoilers ahead :p

I'm done with season 4 and all I can say is bravo! :woot: the final two episodes are epic, especially the finale! When Gus walked out alive I thought holly shit! But then we saw his face and finally fell to the floor. So everyone is practically dead except for Mike and that one driver. But with everyone dead who will become the next enemy for Walter and Jesse. The color theory makes a lot of sense can't wait to see if purple plays a important role and expecting Gray Matter being involved more next season. Can't wait to see how Hank handles the news of that explosion and how he connects Walter not being in his house and instead being out and about. Starting S5 ASAP.

^ Are you done with Season 5 part 1 yet? Part 2 starts tomorrow :woot:

 

The scene with Gus' face being blown off was definitely epic (Y) I loved how he screamed right before it. He totally lost his shit :rofl: I think it was the first time since Max's murder Gus blatantly shown any extreme emotions. This scene from Part 1 was pretty epic too:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2uLNioVW-M

I loved the oxymoron and parallel with the song & the watch ticking smily%20new%20one.gif

 

Here's who I think will be the enemy for Part 2 and some of my predictions:

It will be either or both: Lydia (Madrigal) & Declan and/or Todd & The Nazis. I think it will be both to some degree. So that now Walt is "out" Lydia & Declan will be pissed b/c he had a deal with them. They will persuade him to come back most likely through threats. At one point they would probably recruit Jesse (maybe) and/or Todd (definitely) to cook for them. History has shown Walt does not like other people cooking his stuff and he hates competition. He will then do something dumbass, like he always does when he let's his ego & pride take over him, that would endanger him & his loved ones. One of the thing I think he will do is kill Todd (or have Jesse do it b/c he loves manipulating Jesse to do his dirty work). Of course that would piss off the Nazis so they will be coming after Walt & his family. BTW, I don't see Lydia surviving either so i think she will die. How? I have no clue :p I also think there is a good chance Skylar will die as an emphasis of the mess Walt has caused and b/c most people dislike her so they wouldn't mind if she died :/

 

As for Hank, now that he knows Walt is Heisenberg he is going to built a case against him (maybe privately outside of the DEA b/c we know he like to do things on his own terms). I think he is going to run into quite a dilemma though b/c: 1) Walt is his brother-in-law (family). 2) He might feel embarrassed Heisenberg was right under his nose and it took him THAT long to figure it out. 3) At one point he is going to find out his physical therapy was paid by drug money. I also think he will strike a deal with Jesse, or Jesse will go to Hank to strike a deal b/c he feels gilt-ridden for all the bad things he has done. Somehow Jesse will also find out (probably from Saul) Walt contributed to Jane's death, killed Mike, and poisoned Brock. Perhaps that would be the motivation for him to got to Hank if he does decide to do so, Also, people who live in neighborhood where BB was filmed said there is at least one scene Hank & Jesse are in a car together.

As for Grey Matter, the actress who plays Gretchen guest stars in at least one episode. So yes, Gray Matter will definitely be back! I think Walt might kill Gretchen and Eliot (although the actor has not yet been confirmed as a guest star). Maybe he will hire someone to do it. IDK. The gun he has in his trunk might be used to kill the folks at Grey Matter.

Done with Season 5 Part 1 :woot:!!! Can't believe they left that as a cliffhanger, fans must have been desperate for the second part to premiere! I'm glad I don't have to wait one year :p I love all of your predictions (you are so good at connecting dots etc), can't believe Walter left that book out there though hahaha I'm exited to see how Grey Matter plays out and also how the 'secrets' Walt has kept during all the series unravel in the end, watching Episode 9 tomorrow and will let you know what I think. Also:

wasn't Gustavo supposed to be alive or something? I suspect a lot of deaths coming our way :p agree the scene at the jail was quite epic. A thing that bugs me though is the list that was written on the back of Gustavo's frame, I thought he was careful enough or at least they made us believe he was! I also think Todd has something to do with the police or some other rival party. Loved the train scene where they steal from the tank and rip that poor kid and Mike :(

All I have to say about tonight's episode is !!!! ... 05/09 Blood Money. Though it was a tad predictable how things are playing out it was still a great episode

 

Major Spoilers for Season 5 episode 9 (click at your own risk)

His cancer coming back, Hank finding out who Walt is, the downward spiral / gaining of a moral compass of Jessie..and the whole beginning of the episode.. O.o

I'm just waiting for Jessie to turn on Walt and involve the law somehow.

I agree it was a bit predictable but still great :D

 

I was surprised how they wasted no time and went straight to the point with the confrontation between Hank & Walt. With 7 episodes to go that might mean Walt has a bigger enemy to deal with. Probably Lydia, Declan, Todd & The Nazis.

It is safe to assume Gus is dead. Although I wouldn't mind if he came back....as a Zombie (Walking Dead) :rofl:

 

The list hidden behind the frame was indeed careless. I expected more from Gus b/c he is always very cautious esp with leaving paper trails.

Do you think Todd might be a police informant? I think that is a good possibility and nice plot twist :D

Any site/link recomendation? everything I have found has glitches and stuff :(

^ Would u like me to upload the episode for u to download?

 

 

Safe link: Never had a virus or spyware, and most of the links tend to load quickly for me:

http://www.primewire.ag/watch-4128-Breaking-Bad

 

No don't worry about it PC, the link is alright for me, thanks prettyphile for the links! Thank you both!
