Breaking Bad anyone??

[itsmeJonB]

I'm enjoying the show, or I wouldn't have watched it. It's interesting and sometimes surprising to see how people change. However the bad guys I rooted for

Spoiler

were Tuco's cousins - they were bad ass

. You know what happened there of course.

Yeah man definitely

 

[MjaneGibson]

Episode, now!

 

[purpledove]

In episode 11 though, I agree that it was interesting that Jesse

Spoiler

found out who killed Combo

. However, either I wasn't paying close enough attention or something but I didn't see anything in this episode that revealed what you said above that

Spoiler

the crew Tomas was rolling with were selling the blue meth. All Jesse asked the kid for was 'crystal'. I didn't hear or see any reference to the blue stuff. It was good to see Jesse hadn't gone totally bad yet that I've seen him become from the point he came out of rehab - e.g. he didn't sell Brock's mum when he realised she had a kid.

I spoiled the next episode for you.....

The MOST interesting thing I found was near the end - the scene with Gus. That being when

Spoiler

Gus gave Walt advice - "Never make the same mistake twice"

. THAT could mean so many things - the two things I believe it could mean are

Spoiler

Gus means that Walt should not lie to him (Gus) again - like he has before. The implication being that Gus knows Walt is covering up for Jesse. This could really show just how much of a baddie Gus is (notwithstanding the whole Mexico take out). The other thing the advice could mean is that Walt should not make the mistake of trusting a druggie (e.g. Jesse) again. Again, the inference being that Gus knows what's going on of course. I believe this one more likely

Don't you think that both your inferences still boils down to

Spoiler

Jesse? Be it the lying to Gus about him/ cover up or not trusting a druggie- still Gus is insinuating not to trust Jesse or lie to him about it :dunno It was reiterated in the beginning of Gus' introduction by Saul that Gus is a very cautious man so he must have checked Jesse's background. I think Gus is just making sure that he doesn't lose Walt to Jesse when Walt makes that mistake. I say this as a reference when Gus said to Walt: "you are a wealthy man now. And one must learn to be rich. To be poor anyone can manage" then followed by that advice. Seemingly, Gus is wanting to let Walt realize that if he makes that mistake in re: Jesse that he can lose everything....

IDK, that's how i'm getting it and i can be wrong.

As for the booboo- 50 lashes for you!!!! I'll watch that episode later (and the season finale probably).

Regarding the Gus scene -

Spoiler

Although both could be seen as a warning against Jesse - one could be seen as a warning and threat towards Walt himself, that if he isn't careful with his involvement with Jesse - then Walt could pay the price with Gus being the one delivering the punishment as it were. However, as I said - I believe this to be the unlikely scenario.

Episode 12 (Half Measure) It now shows how

Spoiler

Jesse is so stubborn and unwilling to follow the deal/communication with Gus. I do understand how he feels about the death of Combo but now that everything about their drug business is going on smoothly is time, he makes his attempted revenge and screw up the good deal that Walt and he had going tsk tsk

Its really funny too how

Spoiler

Marie makes a deal with Hank and she wins. For Hank to get out of the hospital and go home, she makes an effort for Hank to have a boner stating he's not hopeless

:24: I love this episode.

I felt more of the

Spoiler

menace from Gus in this episode too.

Aside from the things you mention which I agree with - it was also interesting how

Spoiler

Walt followed through on the advice of Gus' henchman - e.g. no more half measures in the way he looked out for Jesse by murdering the two guys who took out Tomas. Whether they did it themselves I don't know.. I suspect Gus' command of "no more children" may have been a coded message to say "take him out"

.

Now for the season finale.

 

[Siphorous]

Just finished the season 3 finale - episode 13.

Wow.

Spoiler

What a cliffhanger. When I heard Gayle listening to that music I was thinking "is he working for the Cartel? Is he a plant to probe Gus' weaknesses just like the team they sent that Mike sorted out? However, later events (e.g. the cliffhanger) seemed to eliminate that possibility.

I also felt that

Spoiler

Walt couldn't have been genuinely scared when Mike and Victor were looking like they were going to kill him on Gus' orders - because of all the bad things Walt has already had to deal with. He has faced death before - I don't think he was genuinely scared.

.

Of course, now I want to see season 4 but don't know whether to wait until the season is done (about another month or so perhaps) and then see it once the season completes (what I normally do). This episode has made me want to watch more... :willy_nilly:

 

[itsmeJonB]

I just finished the third season today too. Fuuuuuck I need to know what happens next!

I'm going to rest on it but I think tomorrow I may not be able to wait and may just have to grab the Season 4 opener. :nod: :willy_nilly:

 

[itsmeJonB]

How are you gonna do that, I'm thinking of torrenting it

I agree and of course that's the mystery of Gus' character which soon may be revealed more. Although that was quite

Spoiler

brutal for them to use a kid -Tomas and in the end kill him which of course is precautionary of them to protect themselves. It's a game of using others and everyone can easily be disposed. Well, it's the drug cartel and Gus as being cautious game

:ninja

Definitely a great cliffhanger which i wasn't able to wait a day to watch the next Season to know what happened.

I had different thoughts on Gayle.

Spoiler

I had in mind which was related to my older post in re: wondering what Gus has planned for Walt after the 3 month contract. The way Gayle was showing so much interest in Walt, watching his every move and being all serving to him etc---> am thinking he's more of Gus' puppet to know the formula and soon oust Walt- maybe

 

[Joey]

I dont get how you lot are finding the time to get through it so fast, haha! I've been watching the show for like 2 weeks and barely scratched Season 2... Think I'm like 3 episodes in! Just cant find the time to watch it, as much as I'm loving it.

 

[Siphorous]

Right, well I couldn't wait for Season 4 to complete.

Watched the first episode. It was tense, but not as thrilling as the previous season thusfar. I guess things will build though.

I reckon

Spoiler

it seems a no brainer as to why Gus killed Victor. 1) he didn't get to Gayle in time and Gus was truly pissed about that. 2) he messed up the cook in all likelihood 3) again with Gayle - he was seen at the scene.

After a really long night trying to catch up I managed to watch 9 Episodes last night! Was up till stupid o'clock.

Way to go :clap

It's really addicting. What season are you in now?

 

[MjaneGibson]

ooooh yes, the end of the 3rd season is definitely one that will keep you wanting more

Spoiler

I felt terrible for Gayle...he really was in it for the study and to better himself. I remember sitting on the edge of my couch going, "NOOOOO, NOOOOOO!!!!"

what made me more angry was

Spoiler

that Walt, like the selfish man I assume you are all realizing he has become, made JESSE do it! Why him!? He already feels guilty about everything else!

 

[Siphorous]

Just at "Bullet Points" in Season 4. After seeing that and the preceding episodes, you can see the

Spoiler

psychological effect Jesse doing the deed has on him - he just can't deal with it, like when Walt tries to talk to him - Jesse comes close to breaking and then pays $100 to have a couple of guys remove Walt

. It does seem too from the beginning of that episode that

Spoiler

the Cartel aren't going to take it up the butt from Gus so to speak... will be interesting to see what happens

. On a lighter note, I found the following hilarious in that episode when

Spoiler

Skylar is going through the bullet points with Walt. The looks on Walt's face was hilarious - he's a fantastic actor

.

 

[Siphorous]

As for "Shotgun"

Spoiler

This is one that had me totally fooled. I didn't expect Gus to be the guy behind the Jesse's 'test'

. The clue that

Spoiler

Hank noticed regarding Los Pollos when Gayle was a vegan is going to make things interesting now!

. Of course, Walt

Spoiler

can't keep his ego to himself and has to be a blabbermouth when it comes to the 'genius' thing...

.

 

[Joey]

About to start a marathon. Should get atleast midway through Season 3 tonight.
