Breaking Bad Season 5 - Official Discussion Thread

[BrokenVisage]

My guess is with Hank and Gomez dying, Walt is gonna be on the run ('member how he had facial hair and was in a diner celebrating his 52nd bday?). Not sure what's gonna happen to Jesse though.

Jesse will find a way to weasel out unharmed and ruin things for Walt again down the line.

i was waiting for the gunshots on the phone with marie, glad they didn't do that.

but yeah i think hank & gomie gotta go

Yep, at least Marie got a call from Hank (even if it's likely the last time they'd talk).

Well, considering Walt didn't want Todd and his uncle's crew to harm Hank and Gomez...he actually does "care" (father-like) for Jesse. So my guess is Jesse and Walt will live.

it'll be interesting if they kill off hank. hes the only moral and good person on the show

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I think Jesse is fundamentally the show's moral center of gravity. Hank, in the last episode, said he'd have no problem with having set up Jesse to be murdered by Walt if that's what it took to snare Walt. At this point Hank is far from morally unimpeachable.

He's a goner. 😉

Yup. Hank was essentially "using" Jesse to screw Walt these last couple of episodes.

Skyler can make a full on turn around, go kill Marie. For once I wouldn't want her to end up in a white barrel.

 

[raasco]

Todd's uncle end up taking out Jesse but gets hank in the process
walk goes nuts and takes them on which is why he has the m60

Great prediction from a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Clinkster]

I like how Walt calls Jesse a coward, when Jesse used Walt's own style tactics against him.

He is such a sore loser. 😀

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Great prediction from a couple of weeks ago.

The sense I get about the final episode is that Walt has, at a minimum, left town, and, more likely, faked his own death and/or used Saul's vacuum-cleaner guy to create a new identity. (Remember how shocked Carol the neighbor looks when she sees Walt?) I would guess Walt comes back to ABQ to save someone, probably Jesse.

that could be it, Walt and Jessie live, but walt gets away so todds crew forces Jessie to cook for them. Walt comes back to save him.

Walt prob gets away with his fam possibly actually to NH, and starts a new life under Skylers maiden name (which was the last name on the ID in season 1 of ep 5)

 

[bigrash]

Awesome episode!

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

Awesome episode!

Yeah I loved it. So far E4 is the only one I didn't think was amazing, and in fairness, in an 8 episode final season there had to be one or two that weren't mind-blowing. Apparently Vince Gilligan is letting each of the writers direct an episode in the final season, and the guy who directed last week had never directed before (as opposed to Michelle MacLaren, who directed tonight and has handled many other awesome episodes, including S5E8).

 

[BladeVenom]

Now what about the confession tape that Walt made? With Hank dead Marie may turn it over to the police.

 

[Clinkster]

Jesse will find a way to weasel out unharmed and ruin things for Walt again down the line.

Or Walt leverages to not have Jesse killed by Jack.

My guess it'll either be:
1) Walt won't cook if Jesse dies (tried and true)
2) Jack uses Jesse to cook permanently.

Now what about the confession tape that Walt made? With Hank dead Marie may turn it over to the police.

That may be what forces Walt into hiding.

 

[Rudee]

How the hell could they possibly miss with that kind of firepower, pointing at them and aiming before the shots went off? Sorry, but that shootout at the end was not believable in the least.

 

[SheHateMe]

Walt needed to get rid of Jesse a long time ago. Now, It just annoys the shit out of me over the amount of indecision Walt has about what to do about Jesse's behavior.

Of course, Jesse IS a coward and only ran to the cops because he couldn't get Walt otherwise...now, he is trying to weasel out of the shootout. I was hoping they would just snipe Jesse and piece out. Of course, Hank would have been all over Walt's ass.

Anyway, seeing as how Hank and Gomie are carrying out this unauthorized undercover investigation...I don't see how any of this info they gathered can be used against Walt.

that's how tv shootouts work. deal with it.

 

[Perknose]

that's how tv shootouts work. deal with it.

This one was exceptionally egregious. Multiple high caliber weapons, all with plenty of time to sight on just two targets who are completely out in the open. They shoot first, and for some seconds Hank and Gomez just stand there and return fire. Yet not even so much of a flesh wound.

Plus, if you really want to nitpick, it was apparent from the verbal exchange that these guys would never have opened fire if Hank & Gomez Pyle could have just proved they were cops.

So, both were armed but somehow left their badges at home? Even if they had, were I either of them, I would have immediately started shouting out my name, my rank, my years with the force, anything that might have continued to give this army of bad guys further reason to rethink killing me.

Instead, they said nothing. But, yeah, I know, that's how TV works.

 

[MetalMat]

What kind of Star Wars Stormtrooper aim was that? Hank and Gomez would have been TOAST

 

[Rudee]

Yeah no kidding, They were outnumbered 6 to 1. The bad guys also had high powered assault weapons. That shootout was lame and unbelievable.

 

[Printer Bandit]

Walt jr kills Walter in the final episode.

damn Marie spilled the beans.

 

[Poulsonator]

While I agree the Nazi's were terrible shots, you honestly think those same Nazis would have put down their guns had Hank and Gomez showed their badges? They were just drawing them closer so they could miss with their first 100 shots. Each.
