Breaking Bad Season 5 Discussion so People like Rusty can Avoid Spoilers

[8manpick]

Anyone who is "Team Walt" I don't think understands what the show is about.

What part of "protagonist" do you not understand?

Just got all caught up last night. This season is going to be great.

hey Vincie60 do you BB-bbs this close to the end?  i'd be too worried about spoilers

Absolutepunk is really good about tagging spoilers so I generally only read that one. Love all the speculation and what not artists point. It's too fun to avoid forums. Although I do only read them during high traffic times to be sure that a mod would have deleted any posts that weren't spoiler tagged.

hmm cool - might go check it out. 

up until about a month ago or so i wasn't all caught up so had to avoid everything on the internet - now i'm a fiend.  just can't stand spoilers.  only really read this thread and the one(s) on the shag now

I'm pretty sure all of this was discussed during that episode. She had the shipping manifests showing what car carried what contents.

yeah, it was.  she covered it in pretty good detail, exact times, etc.  i'm assuming ksu-w was confused about how they knew it wouldn't end up 100 yards on either side of the bridge of something, which doesn't seem like a big deal IMO

No, I remember Lydia saying she would get the manifest sometime between midnight and 2am, giving the crew at least 6 hours in advance of the heist. That's not nearly enough time to measure the track and bury the tanks in the right spot. If you re-watch the episode, the crew does all the prep work, measures, buries the tanks, etc., then Walt has an evening conversation with Skyler, then Lydia gets the manifest at night, then it's daytime again and time for the heist. So at least a day passed and the crew definitely buried the tanks before they had the manifest and location of the car.

yeah, i agree the timeline is weird if it's meant to be continuous in that episode.  just don't really think it's important or a major plot hole or whatevs with all the other crazy stuff that goes on in the show

I kind of figured that they were going to make sure that the car stopped there at that particular spot with the tanks, and they were going to do that by positioning of Bill Burr's truck.  Where he was going to have car trouble was the adjustable parameter, not where they were going to bury the tanks. They figure out where the car is, then adjust where the truck was going to 'break down' accordingly.  They had enough hose to adjust for a certain margin of error. 

Idk, that was my interpretation 

Wouldn't the truck have to break down where the tracks cross the road, though?

Reading the last 3 pages of the thread on Absolutepunk last night was the scariest thing I've ever done. I never would have forgave myself if I stumbled across a spoiler

I feel like we are in store for a flash forward/flash back episode and it is going to suck.  I hope I'm wrong.

Why would that suck?  Everyone is rewatching now, right?

[Tobias]

A lot better than last week's episode.

A lot better than last week's episode.

FALSE.

No Flynn? I want my money back. 

New predicto time:

I have seen in numerous places (including this blog) that Walt takes on some traits of the people he has killed. (Gus/Mike/Crazy 8, to be exact.) The same people then point to the fact that the name on Walt's fake ID says "Lambert," and take that to mean that Walt kills Skyler.

Nope. I bet Walt kills Marie (Skyler's sister, thus also the same last name) and Hank. This causes Skyler to take the kids and never see Walt again. Not sure what happens with Lydia or Jesse.  Walt "wins" in that he never gets caught, but he ends up all alone. Flynn uses his millions to eat breakfast for every meal for the rest of his life.

Chekov's gun is for Todd? Maybe Todd and Lydia? Maybe because they are trying to force Jesse to cook again?

My big question is...if Walt kills Marie and/or Hank, does he dissolve them in acid, too?   

Nobody wins.
