Breaking Bad

Anyone watching this magnificent show?

Loved the confession video. That was done nicely. Good angle.

I too was wondering why Jessie would be so pissed about the ricin. However, when you think about it he thinks of it as another time Walt pulled one over on him. His speech in the desert showed how much that bothered him, and he just ****ing snapped. He's not exactly thinking rationally. I think he knows even though it wasnt the ricin Walt was involved.

Another great episode IMO.

I agree. It was another great episode.

That was one of the best episodes ever. Absolutely awesome.

Yup. But Walter still gave it to him and put Jesse through hell in the process. Unforgivable in Jesse's mind.

How would he have any idea Walt poisoned Brock with Lily of the Valley.

He might be pissed about the ricin, might be confused about it. But there is no reasonable connection he could make with the ricin to Brock since he was told by the doctors that ricin had nothing to do with it. I think they really stretched here to find a way to make Jesse turn on Walt.

Every episode this final half-season has had at least one awesome scene:

S05E09 - Hank closes the garage door, Hank punches Walt, Walt says "Your best course might be to tread lightly".

S05E10 - Marie asks Skyler if she knew about Walt before Hank got shot, Marie slaps Skyler.

S05E11 - Walt's diabolical confession. It blew my mind.

In fact, there has only been one episode in this entire series that has been a stinker. I am referring, of course, to the episode where Walt chased that goddamn fly all around the lab.

He already thought Walter poisoned him before the doctor told him what it really was. The fact that it wasn't actually ricin doesn't change that.

Agree with all of this.

But it should shouldn't it? He thought one thing, was told by the doctors it wasn't true. So why would he keep thinking it?

The Ricin epiphany.

It seemed forced. Way too forced.

I hope we don't see more scenes of that nature in the show.

Certainly you aren't referring to one of the most important and worthwhile episodes in the entire series as a "stinker". You wouldn't do that, right?

PS, The Fly was a necessary bottle episode to offset the costs of the "superlab"

Totally agree. I don't care if there's some deep metaphorical meaning to that episode or something. It was boring as turds. The only episode in the history of the show that's been below a 7 out of 10 for me.

Bro he doesn't think Walter "poisoned" him with ricin. But he still gave him something to put him in the hospital and make everybody think that he was going to die. And on top of it lied to him and played him for a fool. The exact thing he was pissed about when they were out in the desert with Saul and Walter told him he should leave town.
