Breaking Bad Season 5 - Page 3

I'd watch it. Odenkirk doesn't really age anyway

violent · 07-19-2012, 09:18 PM

Like David Cross, I support anything Bob Odenkirk does.

Widgetcraft · 07-19-2012, 10:00 PM

I believe the show should be named, "Gotta Call Saul."

RandoM51 · 07-23-2012, 12:57 AM

Wow, just wow. This season is going to be epic.

Bone · 07-23-2012, 01:31 AM

Yep. Just an episode of Mike being a typical thug

Urizen · 07-23-2012, 06:12 AM

OK. I'll admit it. That episode was pretty damn cool.

evilgoodwin · 07-23-2012, 12:36 PM

Well, that escalated quickly.

TheFlyingOrc · 07-23-2012, 01:57 PM

The most impressive thing about this episode to me is that Mike's behavior makes sense. He HAD to keep her in if he didn't want to kill her, so he's in.

I couldn't see any way that Mike would work with Walt ever again, but the way they found to do it was completely believable.

Bone · 07-23-2012, 02:22 PM

I LOVED Mike's interrogation. And that Hank was able to be the old badass DEA agent again, after watching him be hamstrung for so long. But when he had Mike on the ropes, Mike just stonewalled the shit out of them, even though he knew he was staying too long in that room. That one little mouthed "shit" as he turned away was the only betrayal of his confidence. Mike fan club #1 fan.

Pig on a string.

Also:
"Are you ready?"

"Listen, Mike, I -" FFT FFFT FFFFFT FFFT

EDIT: OH, ALSO:
The lingering shot on Hank as his boss explains what a fool he was because Gus was 'right under his nose.'

I actually said outloud "OK, Vince. WE GET IT."

Like, I'm not going to seriously criticize a show that I enjoy this much, but that was a bit on the nose, Vince Gilligan.

Bone · 07-23-2012, 02:39 PM

Eh, I just thought they wanted to give Hank a little victory lap.

That was a bit of it, but it's supposed to make him think "I wonder if anything else is happening right under my nose?"

I don't think he's in because she's there, I think he's in because they found his offshore money. He needs a new pile of cash. Her access to precursor gives him a practical reason to keep her alive instead of just consideration for her child.

Well, he was about 2 seconds from killing her when he made the decision. Mike was OUT, it was "kill her or make her have a reason to not do something stupid in the future." - and getting her back on the inside is an excellent way to do that. If she's in, Mike's certainly going to be in, because he needs to keep Heisenberg from doing something stupid (which he WILL do).

RandoM51 · 07-23-2012, 03:07 PM

Certainly, he kills 2 birds with one stone, refill his coffers and keeps her on a leash.

Bone · 07-23-2012, 03:18 PM

Random: that's how I saw it. Although, there was that moment where World's Best Grandpa didn't want to leave this kid's daughter with a missing mother, nor a corpse. So maybe a lot from your theory and a little from Orc's.

RandoM51 · 07-23-2012, 08:13 PM

Certainly, the precursor gives him an out, a reason for not killing her that doesn't make him look like he's open to manipulation via the kid angle.

Widgetcraft · 07-30-2012, 05:44 AM

So who is more annoying: Skyler from Breaking Bad, or Lois from Malcolm in the Middle?
