This series is going to end with Walt getting his head chopped off.

What did Hank say to those two bikers before he kicked their arse? I'm not sure what he said to get them to stand up, but the second thing he said sounded like, "your move."

Jesse is pathetic. Glad to see he's back in the Methabago.

well, that's bitches for you, always think with emotions, she wanted to frick Ted anyways and this was her excuse, even after the man poured his soul out explaining why he did it. She thinks doing that with Ted justified it, dumb arse bitch, he should drop her, and seek custody of his kids.


and I said earlier Gus has power with the Mex Cartel, but not even he can hold them off when they want something done.

Was just able to see it.

You win some, you lose some.

Was right about Mike really belonging to Gus rather than Saul, was wrong about them ending the affair plotline.

Although my take on the Skylar thing is a little different from ya'll's. I think she is just a vindictive bitch rather than one eager for an affair. She wants a clean break from Walt due to the meth, and Walt denies that to her and calls her bluff. She is disconcerted about this, and is unsure about her next move on how to remove Walt. After taking that away, he then takes away her right and reason to be angry with him by explaining a completely altruistic rationale behind the meth dealing along with an indication of the pain it caused.

She spends the day further considering how to get back/respond, and while she is helping out with illegal activity, the perfect method for it walks into the room. She doesn't just jump into opening the door for affair like it is long desired and simply looking for an opportunity...she pauses and considers the action before opening it up.

Then at the end, she seems to get glee in the build up and final declaration of the affair in the most painful say possible. And then cheerily incorporates the family dynamic setting into the picture immediately after so as to trap Walt just as thoroughly and in the same exact manner as she was trapped.

fricking bitch needs to burn. And the sad thing is that she isn't oblivious to the fallout her actions will cause, and the pain it will leave in its wake. She pauses to consider all this while sitting in the car in the driveway. She just convinces herself that breaking Walt's heart is the best thing for her kids and follows through.

One thing is for sure, this is by far the best writing I have ever seen for any TV/movie, and the actors for the most part are to be commended for being able to translate it to film so well.

Skylar is trying to force Walt into divorce.

Wouldn't it be ironic if Skylar was arrested and faced jail time for financial fraud and "Walt the Meth Cooker" stayed free as a bird.

I'm ready for Walt's accomplice to get back involved in the action.

I've predicted that as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Ted actually gives up Skyler when the going gets tough. I can see him rolling on her to save himself. Will Walt come to her rescue now that "I.F.T.?"

I also have a notion that Ted's criminal activity goes beyond just tax fraud. I'll go out on a limb and say he's in Saul's (or Gus's) network of money launderers. After all, Skyler found revenue in excess of source documents. Where'd he get the extra money? Look for some of Beneke's disbursements to hit close to home. Skyler may have jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. Look for Mike's wiretaps to get some damning info on Skyler as well.

Look at the sneak peek for next week. Jessie's a dumbass. He's the one who needs to get whacked.

Wow. I guess he truly is embracing the role of the bad guy. What a twisted scene.

I think that'd be a little too much of a coincidence for this show. It's already pushing it a little that Walt's brother-in-law is in the DEA. I just think they're using Ted as a parallel to Walt in that both are doing some form of cooking (meth, books) in order to support their family. One thing is for sure, I don't think Walter and Skyler's relationship can be fixed now.

The crazy thing for me was when the cartel boss met with Gus and said the entire cartel knew Heisenberg was Walter White and they were in agreement that "blood for blood" was going to happen, it's just a matter of when. So regardless of whether the cousins kill Walt, someone else in the cartel will because they know his name.

I think it's leading toward Gus killing the cousins and Tio and cutting a deal with the cartel that involves Walt being the cartel's executive chef.

I think he is on his way to furnishing his house.

If he starts back using he will be dead soon.

If he stays clean and can duplicate Walt's chemistry, he will either move up with Gus or get kidnapped by the cartel, taken to Mexico and forced to cook to keep his life.

Best episode of the season for me.

I hope no one gives me a turtle anytime soon!

Hank must be trying to toughing himself up for his move to El Paso.

Perhaps, but with this show you just never know. I'm beginning to wonder if Hank had a role in fingering Tortuga to the cartel. Don't you find it a bit coincidental that Hank wasn't around when the tortoise exploded?

Maybe, but I still think my money laundering scenario is plausible. Regardless, it's going to be Walt who comes to Skyler's rescue when Ted feeds her to the sharks.

Maybe the cartel is somewhat relieved that Tuco got whacked. The desire to kill Walt seems more of a personal vendetta by Tio and the cousins and not a "mob sanctioned hit." Tuco was a loose cannon who was also a user. Perhaps the cartel saw him for the unbalanced whack-job he was and breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing of his demise. Sooner-or-later they would've had to take him down.

Excellent...and Skyler working the numbers.

He's trying to screw himself out of the promotion and move to El Paso; he doesn't want to go back.

basically that is all that's about, he doesn't want a transfer. And like I told y'all before Gus does have pull with the Cartel, and now you see that, but Gus knows how good Walt's product is, knows it is the best our there, somehow, someway they'll figure out a plan to get rid of the "crazy twins", and that pain in the arse old man with the bell, I think Gus can convince the Cartel how valuable Walt is once he gets him back in the game.

Jesse, on the other hand is playin with fiya, I don't know if he has learned how to finally properly cook it from Walt, but if he fricks around and gives them people some BS, it will not only put him in danger, but Gus as well, and Gus isn't staking his reputation on anybody.

Remember that Gus already doesn't like Jessie. Gus will think nothing of feeding Mr. Pinkman to the buzzards.

yeah, true dat, but sleazy Saul will try to convince him that the kid is clean and trying to turn his life around, at any rate, Jesse has got to get over that chick's death, forgive himself and move on, it wasn't his fault anyways. I know that kind of shite fricks with you, but theres bad shite happening all over the place, and you cannot, I repeat cannot go back into that game with a head not screwed on right.

I agree but I watched with my wife, she took Skyler's side. While Walt's intentions are good he has exposed his family to a criminal element that will probably eventually kill them. She said it's not like the "Mafia" there are no honorable drug dealers.

Walt has put his family in terrible danger and she knows it. They'd ALL be dead if they had been home when the cousins came to visit.

My opinion of Skyler plummeted after her confrontation w/Ted in the breakroom and her IFT comment. However, and I agree, she's wanted to hump Ted for a while, Walt has backed her into a corner; perhaps her dalliance with Ted was retaliation and a way to finally get Walt out of the house and out of her life. Her act of adultery WILL come back to bite her in the backside, and Ted's not this lovable, sweet man she believes he is.

I think he knows he's not cut out for El Paso. Sure, he can stand up to a couple of low level bikers, but I think the cartel scares the shite out of him. And he wanted to be reprimanded by his superiors so they would keep him in Albuquerque. Everyone thinks of him as this rock, this leader of men. That's a lot of pressure to live up to.

I agree, I think she's a fricking count and is trying to run Walt off any way she can short of ratting him out.
