VG is clever enough to know when to pull the plug..extending it to yet another full season will kill the goose imo..
even though the heist was riveting/edgy the scene(buildup+act) seemed a tad hasty/rushed when you look back @ BB pace of unraveling things.
Walt seems unfazed :-)

The quality of every episode :clap: The makers of breaking bad :bow:
Todd = Walt's subconscious Id, without Ego & Super-Ego (Jesse and Mike)
Wizzy,
This is no Western. This is primal H-G Clouzot, 'Wages of Fear' kinda Sweaty ordeal.. And Mike is in the fringes here, sir.
This, and the dead battery episode where WW makes up a hand-made one with screws and scraps as anode-cathode - I'd be missing this show when it ends. But its epic sweep deserves a closure. VG wouldn't just end it
Meant to say VG wouldn't just extend it.
Thought the soundtrack/musical choices didn't work here, for the suspense atmospherics..
Maybe Todd's some kind of agency implant, to work with Mike, who has a history with CIA?
We do know CIA vs DEA in protection of narcotics pipeline, in logistics, mechanics and witness protection, to cover their bases. This of course extends all over Americas, maybe even Chile. Maybe Fring isn't involved for or against Pinochet's government in military junta activities, maybe he's no Chilean, and is African-American. Mike's maybe not a 'beat cop', and had a covert background. And is how they've known each other, and both in unison, wipe their history? Doesn't Mike say that explicitly to Fring, that the database doesn't hold his Chilean history (because he is not a Citizen at all?) and there's only a record post-Mexico. I'd expect more of this. And we haven't got to Herr Schuler, and the German Conglomerate here. The racial sweep and mystery of Mike, Schuler and Fring suggests a lot of interesting possibilities.

can't see a implant doing what he did...if anything Walt's fingerprints whilst bugging Hank's office will comeback to bite him.Quote:

also Mike's family/Lydia's daughter speaking/learning Spanish are still under the purview of mystery.Quote:

AF, was expecting a bit more detail wrt heist setup knowing BB's penchant for it and the insider podcast has confirmed the edits :neutral:
They have to finish the heist within this episode(47 mins) that includes ideation, planning, and the execution. I don't know how many of you know but AMC is a stingy bugger which spends most of their money on Mad MEN.
And you have to stop reading spoilers before/after episodes :lol:
Todd as a implant for CIA or some rogue agency that protected drug pipelines with state/nation capital, historically. The same agency to link Mike, Fring and Schuler. The Kid is a collateral damage as these agencies are trained to be. Have you seen The American?
I'd rather have a GTA kind of morality where the system is inherently corrupted..
^yam immune to spoilers :lol2: with Todd breaking bad may be he will shave his head too and keep up with show's symmetry of skinheads ;-)
Would be fun to have another Clean Shaven head around.
We need someone on Walt's side, to lay the seedlings to the Walt-Jesse split-up we'd expected. Mike's snigger when Jesse speaks of Walt in complimentary terms, upstairs, the camera pans down to the basement with the Walt. From Snipper attack to Cartel payback, Mike-Jesse is being hounded together. Maybe this is no Truel, the permutations and combinations. If you also take in to consideration, Hank & Lydia.
k-g, Todd bears an uncanny resemblance to Matt Daemon adhukaga tying him with CIA like agency is pushing it a tad...I see him as a new recruit trying impress his bosses by being overtly submissive and strictly adhering to the instruction of leaving no loose ends..on combinations Jesse always seem to cover up for Lydia and with Walt being cheesed off with the Mike's idea of hazard pay which is in line with Lydia wanting to bump off Gus's men..do you see something brewing here//
wtf phone autocorects Damon to Daemon :lol:
I don't really like Damon. But in deed, I'm just figuring out possibilities that would enrich BB to beyond narrative and moral concerns. Something politico-ideological would enhance it more, but we'd also know that;s not the primary concern of the show. It's a psychological drama first and foremost. I'm trying to make sense of Mike-Fring-Schuler, so fitting him in to it. I'm pretty sure the writers hadn't made sense of who Todd really could be, when they finished writing this episode. In a sense, they let the characters govern the plot, not the plot to govern the characters. Backstory will emerge, thematics will emerge, permutations will open up, everything will factor in.
Yes, Jesse covers up for Lydia, because he fits into a needy SuperEgo type who has a moral prism where the women/children take utmost primacy (from ATM episode till date), he prefers to be a sexist than be truly broken bad here.
Seeing that Walt has the priceless commodity that no other has, 'access' to DEA, I do see dangerous possibilities of Walt-Lydia with Hank as the cogwheel, Mike has to watch out..
so am not supposed to read this page until am done with s04?
Tod in German translates to 'death' :)Quote:

Speculating that the Good Samaritan is the dead kid's father. Face has uncanny resemblances.
irungayya... jus in s05e02... will catch u all..
Good Samaritan's not white, the child seems dead white. I mean a thoroughly white child..
My Gut-instinct definitely related. The kid look(s) multi-descent to me.

Cranston on Conan from last year. Cranston responds that DEA Chemists are the consultants for this show and they showed the crew exactly how to make that blue crystal meth. :lol: :clap:. And then he distributes that stuff on show.
Finally finished all 5 seasons of Mad Men. Apart from Betty's transformation, I dint like one other thing - Kinsey / Lakshmi episode. So meh. At least Betty had a beautiful ending to this season.
Anyway apart from these, perfect. Mad Men and Draper for Emmy :yes:
kamaan guys... paatthachu...
shoulder to shoulder now...
enakkum doubt on todd... also guessing that the boy, killing is all a drama...
you mean bomma thuppakki type drama :roll:
maybe ya...
we can know about that if the body goes into the hydroflouric soup...
foiler:
what is the rationale behind walt poisoning the kid?
Walt needed to surprise-attack gus. He needed vital info on where Gus could be attacked. But at that time Jesse and Gus had a very good working relationship. So to get Jesse on his side he needed to do something bloody awful but at the same time convict Gus for the Blame. Since both Jesse/walt know that earlier Gus was indirectly involved in a child's murder Walt went with that idea.
