Just finished Season 4. When Gus walked out of the room I was like "I f*ckING KNEW IT! HE'S A ROBOT!" before he dropped to the ground.

 

But that was kinda stupid, no chance that'd actually happen. It did provide some comic relief and closure, though.

 

 

Anyone know a site I can watch Season 5 part 1 in good quality?

You would be surprised about the things people do/say before they die. I think Gus' death represented who he was as a character. A true professional. The straightening of the tie shows that.

Dude, that was probably the biggest "OMG" moment I had along with Half/Full Measure endings and the death of Mike and the ending of Gliding Over All. I don't see how the death of Gus is unrealistic. I mean, alright, walking out of the room like nothing happened might seem unrealistic but it's not. Haven't you heard stories of soldiers being shot 50 - 60 times during a war but are still able to run, shoot and fight for several minutes after being shot dozens of times? It's because they had so much adrenaline in their body and they probably didn't feel any pain whatsoever.

It's safe to say that weirder things have happened in real life than the death of Gus.

 

If you want to see season 5 in good quality just google "project free tv" and click on the first link. You're welcome.

Didn't you just spoil Gliding Over All for the dude? lol

 

Hope he didn't read it

[Durden]

@Johnny Playert: Erm... Well... C'mon, I mean, I would've expected the explosion to completely obliterate Gus, but only half of him was still there. Considering Gus' behaviour throughout the show (formality, monotonous voice and expression), Gus being a robot was a slight thought that passed through my mind, although I realized that would be too stupid to put in a show like this. I think it was mainly how he fixed his tie that mad me think that; that was pretty facetious.

 

And yes, I did read his post, it kind of sucks but then again he did put a spoiler tag around it, and I kind of expected Mike to die eventually. Oh well.

 

 

@GTA-King: Yes in retrospect Gus definately was a professional to put it mildly. He showed constant monotone throughout the show (even when he kills Victor), with the exception of the bomb scene where he yells at the top of his lungs. It definately was good symbolism as Gus fixed his tie, and calmly strided out of the room silently.

 

@Vormek: Yea I definately didn't see that coming. I thought Walter would barge through the door and shoot them or something, and Gus surviving the explosion for a little while after was just absolutely surprising. I truly was confused until the camera panned to his left side... eww.

 

I liked the Full Measure and Half Measure endings as well; I didn't think Walter had it in him to go all "GTA" on those guys And it was quite emotional when Jesse had to shoot Gale, he was a good guy... and a huge nerd

 

And no, actually, I haven't heard of that happenning That's kind of... Wierd. Even so, I can understand ignoring bullet wounds, but I mean half of his face was void! I just can't see that happenning as his brain would've surely been dead.

 

Thanks for the tip, I'll go check that site out! And call it even since you spoiled Mike's death

[Johnny Playert]

^ Hey, i get what you're saying bro (well, kinda lol) But it's just his ultra calm and collective personality. Plus when something like that happens the person is almost always in severe shock, which means he won't really feel much of it (i'm not saying he didn't feel anything) but it was also the writer's way of adding (a lot of) suspense. It really had me going for a sec, i litterally screamed 'NO, WTF' lol. Then came the satisfaction when he collapsed and died... * Evil laughter *

 

And about Mike's death... hell, you could've had a lot of bigger stuff spoiled for you. Good ol' Vormek here takes the cake... he had Gus' death spoiled for him when AMC showed his exploded face in a promo before he even saw it!

And the way Mike dies will still have you bugging. Yeah, so what happens here is i just typed a semi-long text here to make it seem like i am explaining Mike's death, but really i'm just toying with you. If you actually read this, then congratulations. Go watch the gd episode now lol

Yeah I guess you're right, in the end it was a mix of his personality and the writer's choice.

 

Sucks, Vormek, that must've been a pissoff for you On the bright side, at least you knew that Gus' reign of terror would come to a satisfying end

I did read the spoiler tags btw lol. I read the first few words just to see if you were gonna touch upon Mike's death, and as I read I was relieved when I realised it was all just (funny) bullsh*t

Not exactly. While I was watching Breaking Bad, about a year ago, I visited IMDBs message board and found a thread titled "Walt's kill count" or something similar. By that time I had catched up to season 3 or something and just because I'm such a f-ing idiot I decided to read that thread and I saw Gus' name there. So I knew he was about to go anytime during season 4. It didn't really bother me because I was so hooked on Breaking Bad, I was like an addict. In the back of my mind I was like "when is Gus going to die" but I didn't really give it much thought because I was so absorbed in the story. In the end of episode 4.12 I was sure he was going to get in the car and get blown to pieces but he didn't. So there was 1 episode left (season 5 hadn't started yet) so I thought Gus must die in the final episode but I said to myself that it might've been a troll thread and Gus won't really die. At least that's what I hoped. Then the Hector scene came... he started clicking that damn bell. I was like "what are you doing old man?!". Then I realized... the car bomb... it's happening. After that I saw the amazing explosion. Gus walked out of the room and I was like "hooooly fuuuuuu... he survived!!!" but when is he going to die? Was it a troll thread after all? Then the camera came up closer... I saw his face. It was like a full body orgasm. One of the greatest moments I have ever witnessed in tv/movies.

 

On the other hand I had the ending of Dead Freight spoiled for me as well as the death of our beloved Mike. However I didn't know he was about to go in the hands of Walter. So the only spoiler which really ruined my experience was the ending of Dead Freight.

[Johnny Playert]

Ahh alrighty, yeah that isn't that bad. I'm still glad to say i managed to watch it all without anything major being spoiled. Such a great experience. Exactly what you described there, that. was. so. cool. I love Breaking Bad

 

It must've been someone else then who had that experience, i dunno

[Vormek]

^ I think you mean the ending of Say My Name.

Yeah that's it

[ZerrickiShadow]

I think every major death has been spoiled for me except Mike but that's kind of expected because I was late coming into the show. I mean I practically have the entire Sopranos and Wire spoiled for me but I will still watch them.

 

Speaking of which has anyone watched the show since day 1? It seems like a lot of people here have been catching up like I did. Also how did you hear about the show? While I remember the previews back when I would watch movies on AMC back in 2008 (before I got Netflix/Blockbuster Online) I never got into it. At the time I wasn't into watching TV shows. Then my sophomore year there was a kid in my Spanish kid who was obsessed with it and had been telling me how crazy Season 4 had been and encouraged me to watch it. Unlike most people I was actually hooked by the pilot. Many fans I know have told me it took till like episode 3 or 4 to get into it which I just don't understand.

 

[GTA-King]

I started watching near the end of s4 actually. Me & my buddy were surfing through Netflix trying to find something to watch. He skimmed over BB & I told him to stop & go back so I can read the description. We both agreed to watch it, because it sounded interesting. I was hooked with the pilot as well. I kept telling myself "Man, this is like a modern day Scarface!" Eventually I grew past that, & became invested more into the characters... especially Walt. I've always rooted for the anti-heroes... I don't know why.

 

Anyway, that's how I started watching. Been addicted ever since. Up to that point, I remember seeing promos for the show... although I thought they were interesting, I just never started watching it. I was in high school then (junior), so I was busy with that.

 

EDIT:

 

My favorite BB meme.

 

 

One of the best songs in the show. So beautiful.

Yeah me, I've been watching it since it first aired in the UK on FX in 2008 (when we were like 6 to 7 months behind the US), and I was telling people about it and how they should check it out, etc, most just said it's too weird for them and other put it off til later, it wasn't until the end of Season 3 and the start of Season 4 the show exploded in popularity, which I found funny because I was like, duh, should have listened to me earlier.

 

For reference points I also started watching Sons of Anarchy in 2008 when it was new and proud to say, I watched House in 2004, again, before it exploded in popularity, I seem to be a good luck charm for shows. Only shows I've joined in late so far have been The Walking Dead (watched Season 1 a few months before Season Two started) and some others.

I'm pretty sure the five first episodes are done. So that means they're filming the sixth episode which should be done next week or so.

[Wilko007]

I've been following the thread for a while but here goes my first post;D

 

I just watched Season 5, well part A.. and it was actually amazing, i was pretty p*ssed at the events involving a certain geezer; The guy shows everyone that was ripping michael's age, that old men can be badasses.

 

I cannot wait for 5B, the ending of 5A was a real shock to me, as everything seemed to be going fine, i don't know what to expect which is most probably a good thing.

 

Anyone else gone back through the episodes and downloaded some of the songs of any episodes? i can recommend:

- Bonfire by Knife Party

- Rocket Scientist by The Teddybears

 

and for bada*sery reasons:

- Tidal Wave by Thee Oh Sees

- Magic Arrow by Timber Timbre

[Vormek]

^ Here's my favorite soundtrack from BB. If I remember correctly, this was the song that played when Walter first laid his eyes on the underground methlab. It was such a great scene and this song fits perfectly.

My theory on how Jesse finds out about the Lily of the Valley poisoning

That ominous sound, that kinda sounds likes breathing, at the end of season 4 turns out to be really someone breathing (the handshake scene in the carpark). The person who is breathing is one of the FBI agents investigating Jesse for ricin. Maybe he overhears Walt's talk with Jesse, and after Walt's "I won" line, the FBI agents follow him home and scopes out the place for a bit. Eventually they see Walt put a couple bags into the trunk of his car. So the agents stay over night surveiling the place. The next morning, Walt leaves and the agents follows him. Walt eventually stops to throw the bags in a dumpster (he was in a hurry to pick Jesse up and meet Mike in the desert). The agent sees this, and he investigates the contents... and finds the Lily of the Valley plant that poisoned Brock. Maybe they are saving this card for a special reason (perhaps they are investigating the other contents too... the bomb making equipment). The FBI would want to investigate something like that thoroughly. So maybe, just maybe... they will use that card against Jesse (by telling him Walt was in possession of the plant & he tried to hide it) to try & bring down Heisenberg. Could just be another factor that sends Walt into hiding... the other 2 being Hank/the DEA, and Declan's crew (hell maybe even Todd's Uncle's Gang or Madrigal Special Forces).

 

Just speculating...

Edited February 24, 2013 by GTA-King

[Vormek]

That is a very plausible theory GTA-King. By the time of the season 4 ending I don't believe Gilligan had any idea how Jesse would find out about the poisoning so he added that scene with the handshaking and the suspicious camera movement/breathing so he could use this in future episodes if he didn't come up with another way for Jesse to find out. (IF he ever finds out)

My theory, not very plausible though, is that Jesse is at home smoking som weed and he watches his Roomba, or whatever it's called (the robot vacuum cleaner) and he notices how the Roomba doesn't pick up his cigarette butts. He investigates it further and realizes that it's impossible for the robot vacuum cleaner to pick up any cigarettes whatsoever. So how in the hell did that ricin cigarette end up in his Roomba in episode 5.02? Unless... Walter placed it there because he's basically the only one who has ever been to his house the last few months.

Jesse talks to Saul about this and Saul admits that Huell replaced the cigarette pack while searching him. Saul lets Jesse know that he didn't know the intentions of the switch whatsoever and Jesse walks out frustrated and never wants to speak to Saul again. What happens next is beyond my imagination. Gilligan will surely deliver. I just hope Jesse finds out though. When a fight ensues between Walter and Jesse over the poisoning Walter, in his rage, admits that he was there when he saw Jane choke on her own vomit and how he killed Mike. Walters ego is now bigger than ever and he has no shame admitting it. He's the king now, what can Jesse do about it?

[Wilko007]

Jesse will find out about the three events you just mentioned^ He deserves to, and deserves to kill walt himself.. killing Mike is the reason why i most hate Walt

 

Skyler's been a bitch thoughout the show, she's gonna/needs to die by Walt's hand

 

Jesse's slowly matured, he's now coming up with the plans too, showing intelligence and his, 'clean-ness' (?) shows through

 

Saul wants to get out, and will find a way to, he's a genius thinking about it

 

Hank will uncover the truths, then to bring down heisenberg, he'll show Jesse how Walt's been manipulating him, and use that to turn Jesse on Walt and ultimatly and inevitably bring him down

 

Or, in a surprising turn of events, Walt Jr. is put into hospital and then dies after taking drugs with his friends, it is later clarified as Crystal Meth, the 'Blue Sky' version. Skyler and Hank look at Walt, wh has a face of utter anguish on his face

 

^My speculation^

[ziggymank]

Obviously Jesse finding out about Brock (or Jane) before the end of the series would make for some great drama, but I don't see it happening personally. Realistically, there's absolutely no way Jesse could find out about Jane without Walt telling him, and the only way Jesse could find out about Brock is if he asked Saul (and forced him to tell him). However, Jesse wouldn't even ask Saul because he has no suspicions, so that's why I think that storyline is dead for the time being.

 

The only way I see Jesse finding out about either tragedies is if Walt goes on a path to redemption. Then, maybe he'd tell him right before he died. That would be a cool death scene for Walt; him telling Jesse about everything he did, and then maybe Jesse strangling him, or something.

It's a very interesting theory, GTA-King but it would seem odd that there wouldn't be scenes of the FBI investigating Walt, or possibly a plot with them coming to Skyler and Andrea with that information.

 

...unless. Well unless that it's going to be a plot drive in Season 5B with the DEA and FBI investigating Walt's activities. Which the DEA seems to be a given with Hank's recent discovery. What exactly do you think Declan and his crew will do to Walt to make him go on the run?

 

I personally believe he is on the run from the DEA alone, but still has associates (hence the arms dealer). I can't conclude what has happened to Jesse just yet but I think he is alive at the time of the flash forward.

 

Here is how I think Breaking Bad will end. Walt won't die. I know it sounds insane considering it's what we are all expecting but it seems like that's an easy way out. In my mind the writers have to have a curve ball planned for us. I picture it ending with Skyler and Walt, Jr. either dead or in Witness Protection (dead seems more likely), Hank will be fired from the DEA because Heisenberg was under his nose the whole time, and Walt will be wealthy, cancer-free, but completely alone.

[The Nefarious]

I personally think the ending of this season (and the show) is going to be really ambiguous like Walt goes to war with those dudes from Arizona and he eventually just goes for broke and sets up a stand off in the middle of the desert. However the DEA are following his every move and they know about the impending stand off, there's a really intense build up but then it just ends with Walt standing in the middle of the desert with an M60.. the guys from Arizona coming from one direction in their cars and the DEA coming from the other in theirs and nobody knows for sure what happens next.
