Breaking Bad

[irishjayhawk]

Anyone watching this magnificent show?

[eazyb81]

Wow.

Now that was a television show.

[notorious]

Awesome.


They are going back to the origninal script: Walt is grasping to stay alive and Jessie is the ****up addict.


I think that when Jessie killed Gale, it knocked down the last door that was holding him back from going full bad.

Easily the best show on that network and maybe all of TV.

A) Gus is a ****ing badass. I wouldn't be surprised if Giancarlo Esposito (I think thats his name) was nominated for an Emmy based on that episode, but Emmy noms are usually a joke, so he won't.

B) I forgot whose glass eye that was in Walt's desk drawer, can somebody fill me in?

C) Jesse didn't say a single word in the first 3/4 of the episode, yet he used his body language to convey how depressed he was. I thought that was great. Once he witnessed Gus killing the other dude (forgot his name), he loosened up a bit, which was weird.

Stuffed bear, fell into pool, from an airplane, that collided with another airplane, because the air traffic controller was distressed, because his daughter died, choking on her own vomit, while high, on Jesse's bed, while Walt looked on an did nothing.

Right. I wonder why he kept the eye.

And oh yeah. Gale had a folder that said Lab Notes on it? What a dumbass! Hopefully Hank recovers soon and there's some kind of bust involving him at the lab. That'd be cool.

And his cell phone.

[PunkinDrublic]

Can they find a way to kill off Hanks wife? There's not one scene in this show where I didn't want to bash her face in with a ****ing hammer.

So what are your theories on why Gus killed his henchman?

Did anyone else think Gus was going to start cooking once he put on the outfit to show Walter that he knew how to cook too?

[Buck]

So I was reading an article where they interviewed Vince Gilligan about episode 1 and he was talking about how Jesse doesn't reciprocate the same love for Walt that Walt does for he. He mentioned that Jesse just killed Gale and that his fragile little soul can't take it.

I know Gale was "innocent," (and I put that in quotes because he is in the game after all) but did Walt not just murder 2 men to keep Jesse alive a couple episodes prior? (Half Measures)

Regarding the henchman...

1. He was witnessed at the crime scene like a dumbass.
2. He insulted Gus' intelligence by claiming he could cook after 2 weeks of watching Walt.
3. He wasted valuable resources doing so.

Regarding Gus putting on the outfit...

No, as soon as the henchman dude (I think his name is Victor) told Mike that he was seen at the crime scene, I knew it was curtains for him. I knew that Gus was going to kill him once he put on the suit.

Yeah, you could see it in Mike's eyes. I was a bit surprised that it was Gus that did it, but as you said, once he started putting on the gear, I knew it was coming.

It sure looked like he did know how to cook though. I guess the scene at the beginning of the episode where Gale said he knows Gus wants the best and more pure stuff was some nice foreshadowing. Victor could technically make some good stuff, but it would not be what Walter is capable of.

That's exactly what the teaser at the beginning was for. Victor said it was just a recipe, which is totally untrue. While his final product may have been meth, it would not have been anywhere near the quality of even what Gale could pull off.
