re: Breaking Bad S5E5

How I understood it was they found a location that was suitable, prepped it, then on the next Wednesday or whatever day it was that the shipment leaves Long Beach they get the call with the tanker car ID. When the shipment is broken down and rebuilt in Flagstaff they can put the car in whatever order to accomodate the correct length.

Also that little generator was probably too small to pump water through 2" hose up that steep of a grade that fast.

Sucks about the kid but Todd was doing what Jesse said "no one but us can ever know about it this"

Perhaps Jr. is just pissy because Marie is a shitty breakfast cook.

I think we may just have seent the set up to the plot of the movie.

Walt = good
Heisenberg = bad

Jr. = good
Flynn = bad


Walt's now in the empire making business, empires are empires because they have a line of succession that lasts for generations.

ol' Bacon Eating Metal Sticks is about to learn what Breaking Bad is all about for himself.

I'm thinking Flynn may off himself this season.

Did they measure and bury the tanks before or after Lydia called mike with the information?

Yeah, that's the thing. She said she only gets the info between 12 and 2 and her direct quote "you will only have 6 hours or so".

She did also say (direct quote) that the train runs "once a week on a Wednesday"

so really, in order for this to work unless they had incredible luck the first time is they went a few Wednesdays to get the right position on the train car. but, in the next scene, after the call, they seem to be scrambling with the tractor digging the hole.

Also, if it was the first time, first go, from 2 a.m. until dawn is at least 4 hours, so they did everything in 2 hours or so = impossible.

The only scenario that would work would be A) they found a spot and B) waited a few Wednesdays until they got a match

or they hit the odds jackpot in Vegas and won a million on the Wheel of Fortune machine by doing it all at once in the 6 hour (2 hour of light you saw them working in) time frame

I can't believe we're down to we don't know how many Wednesdays = an episode ---

just like people argue the Bible about how long was a day, but yeah, that's the equation as I see it from watching it again.

once again, yeah, it's TV and yo, it's still great.

hahahahahaha that is gold

i dont think it really had to be on the bridge anyway. they easily could have dug at the bottom of a hill from the track and ran the hose up the hill. the bridge didnt really add any value to tehir plan.

They did. But I'm wondering if they would have been happy with any "open" spot. Oh well, the scene was cool as hell anyway.

One scene that hasn't been discussed much yet (because the train scene totally outdid it) was Walt crying to get hank out of the room at hanks office. That was great

See...I disagree. They knew the 3 mile stretch. That's known. They went and picked their location. You bury the tanks the following days....then you wait.

You do not bury tanks and heist same day. They did it the prior day in the show.
