I want one more full season man. 11 more episodes ain't gonna cut it. I want a full fledged 13 episode season next year.

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.

A mini-response in Twitter...

And apart from the musical choices (slightly upbeat like action set-piece than to suspend it like a Clouzot), it's v. fine.[/spoiler]

UI know i know it is just wishful thinking.

Train heist-ae evvalavu neram thaan kaata mudiyum. It's good that they decided to siphon only 1000 gallons of that lot.

if the next episode promos are to be believed Mike is being tailed by DEA so Todd will play much bigger role in upcoming episodes :)

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

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


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:
