Breaking Bad

[DJ Mbenga]

Walt having a vic mackey type ending would be awesome, if it hadnt already been done by the shield. that finale was perfection. like i cant find anything to nitpick on. i kind of hope gilligan trumps the death gore people and does the symbolic death, alone, screwed, lost family and etc.

[Jacob1983]

This has probably been asked a million times before but why the fudge did Walt leave that book in the bathroom? Did he not realize that it could be self incriminating evidence? I mean seriously, who leaves a book that could link you to a crime in their own bathroom?

[Joyrider]

I was always under the impression it was Skylar's smoking that caused Walt Jr disability. If you remember when Walt confronts Skylar about the cigarettes, he specifically says 'not again' implying this isn't the first time they dealt with this during a pregnancy.

[Joyrider]

I think Hank kills Walt leaving Hank with the guilt of losing everything. Or that Walt dies protecting someone he loves (Jesse or Hank). Vince has described the ending as 'victorious' so who knows. My death count on the last episodes remains:

Walt
Skylar
Lydia
Todd
Walt Jr
Gomez
Saul
And maybe Marie although that would be devastating for Hank.

[mrsmaalox]

Its not about growing a care for a certain character. You're watching the wrong show if that's what's central to you.

Sure it is. Books, movies, or tv, there needs to be at least one character that you empathize, sympathize, identify with a certain quirk, find appealing or attractive in some way or love to hate. Because if you don't connect with someone, then their stake in the story means nothing, making the entire story worthless. I don't think the story itself is the only reason so many people watch this show. I'm not denying that the characters are strong or that the writing or production is great, it's just that without the personal appeal I mentioned, all that stuff is not enough to keep me interested. I've stuck with it but as I said maybe it's just not for me.

[mrsmaalox]

Eh I hope all of them die except for Walt. Breaking Bad isn't about falling in love with a character. Fuck that tbh. Leave that shit to people who watch Lost.

It doesn't have anything to do with falling in love. You obviously feel some kind of connection with Walt or you wouldn't care if he lives or dies. Without that, you probably wouldn't be watching.

[lakerhaterade]

No I don't feel a personal connection to Walt. I just hope the bad guy ends up victorious tbh. I'd still watch the show if I didn't care about any character (which I truly don't). It's simply that good.

[baseline bum]

Agree with my nigga and top 5 most underrated poster haterade, tbh..

I'm hoping Walt survives, although I doubt it, tbh..

No idea how BB thinks Skylar is likeable, tbh..if Skylar dies, I'll have an orgasm, tbh..

Skyler was cun_ty in Season 1, but after that I don't get the hate for her. She's supposed to be flowers and sunshine to Walt as he turns into a sociopath and turns her son against her? But you'll probably get your wish since Walt was rearranging his own bacon at Denny's.

[CuckingFunt]

Same here. I'd even extend the cuntiness through season two (I have problems with the passive aggressive ways she started looking to Beneke as a replacement husband), but otherwise I find her to be a completely sympathetic character. Until the first eight episodes of season five, when they turned the skeeve factor up to about 12, Walt has been likable enough that you want to see him succeed in some way (or at least stop and return to a normal family life), but he's been pretty much a monster since season two and Skyler's motivations for trying to make the best of a bad situation and to protect the family unit are very similar to those everyone praises in Walt.


As for maalox's quandary, I would urge you to get through the second season if the only thing you're missing from the show is a sympathetic character. I was initially invested in the show because of the craft of it -- impeccable direction, writing, acting, etc. -- but it took me a while before I had much of a rooting interest in any of the characters. However, I have been fully emotionally invested in Jesse Pinkman's character since the completion of his season two arc, and I would be surprised if you weren't also.

[ChumpDumper]

Yeah, Jesse's the one to identify with throughout the series if anyone. The thing with Walt is what point you decide he's gone too far; that's different for different people and a nice discussion subject.

[baseline bum]

My best guesses:

1. Hank accidentally kills Skyler in a shootout with Walt
2. Jesse goes to prison and doesn't snitch on Walt
3. Gomez kills Walt
4. Todd becomes the blue meth kingpin

[baseline bum]

I already hated Walt early in Season 1 when he wouldn't let those rich fucks pay for his treatment.

[CuckingFunt]

The Jane thing was really the point of no return for Walt, in my mind, but I never found him to be a sympathetic character and have never thought his decision to start cooking meth was even remotely justifiable.

[baseline bum]

The Jane thing was really the point of no return for Walt, in my mind, but I never found him to be a sympathetic character and have never thought his decision to start cooking meth was even remotely justifiable.

Walt is right that Jane would have killed Jesse though, so I don't blame him for that, considering Walt viewed Jesse as a son.

[CuckingFunt]

Walt is right that Jane would have killed Jesse though, so I don't blame him for that, considering Walt viewed Jesse as a son.

Oh, I don't doubt that Jane was horrible for Jesse or that he wouldn't have survived long if they were able to stay together with all of that cash. I'm even willing to entertain the argument that Walt's decision, cold as it was, was ultimately the right decision for Walt and Jesse (it obviously was the right decision in an absolute sense, as evidenced by the chain of events that ends the season). However, I don't buy that Jesse's well being was the primary motivation for Walt's inaction in that moment. I agree that he sees Jesse as a son and that Walt genuinely cares for him, even if only on a subconscious level, but a drugged out Jesse and his junkie girlfriend are ultimately a problem for Walt and I think that Walt's decision is based on solving that problem and on protecting himself. That it removed a negative influence from Jesse's life and allowed Walt to get him into rehab was, I think, a secondary benefit.

Also, no matter the reasoning behind it, I just can't help thinking that if someone can just stand by and watch that, there really isn't much left inside that's human.

Nah, I think it was more about Jesse's well-being. If Walt was more concerned with business than with Jesse I don't think he would have thrown away his perfect arrangement with Gus by running down those two dealers who killed Tomas and ordered Combo's murder. And if that was my son I would have no trouble whatsoever watching his girlfriend choke to death on her vomit if they're on such a self-destructive path that would have surely killed him.

[UZER]

Its crazy to see how much faster Walt went down the dark path when he cut ties with Jesse this past season. Jesse was Walts last connection to what little morality he had left.

Jesse has grown in this show and is my favorite character. We all know its gonna end bad for Walt, I would just like Jesse to survive.

I do believe one or both of Walts kids will be killed before the show ends.

[baseline bum]

Eh I hope all of them die except for Walt. Breaking Bad isn't about falling in love with a character. Fuck that tbh. Leave that shit to people who watch Lost.

The only really good show I can think of where I found no one likable was Sopranos.

I agree. I like Jesse and it would be nice for the sake of the character to get a happy ending, but him dying would make the show much more memorable for me. Plus letting Walt live.

[baseline bum]

I genuinely dislike every single character on the show, and yet, the only better series I have ever seen is The Wire.

[baseline bum]

So who gets the ricin?

[DJ Mbenga]

So who gets the ricin?

we know he goes to retrieve it either in the last episode or the penultimate episode. so my guess its not todd. i think he's dying midway, one way or another. remember he has those crazy nazi uncles and shit so those type of people on your ass is a compelling reason to go to new jersey and hide. i dont think they'd copy the shield and have him use it on skyler. i wont elaborate since some may be watching the show or havent yet.
im kind of hoping chekhov's gun becomes gilligans ricin fakeout. that it doesnt get used.

[oh crap]

i'm so fucking ready for tonight

[DJR210]

I would have to say this is a close second behind The Sopranos for best series. Can't wait. Only thing that sucks is I have not seen the first half of this season as Netflix is sucking fat nuts when it comes to the newest episodes.

My guess is Gus' remains are carried over a vat of melted plastic and his blood is fused into a doll allowing him to continue running Los Pollos Hermanos and the drug ring as a living killer doll.

Seriously, i was recommending BB to all my friends during Season One & Two, and they all gave me the same "oh yeah that sounds good......Malcolm's dad???? Heh thats interesting :td" and ignored my advice until the show blew the fuck up and suddenly every damn one of them has become a Breaking Bad expert and probably studies the show and knows more than i do about it at this point.

I'm not a hipster so much as I am someone who likes a lot of the things hipsters currently like.

But I'd be the scoffee, rather than the scoffer, in this case. Though I meant to give it a chance earlier, I didn't make time to watch a single episode of Breaking Bad until I marathoned the whole thing after the fourth season had already aired.

What's with everyone upset with Jesse and his moods? Is it really a shocker? He has made a ton of money, lost it, made a ton, lost it, made a ton, lost it, and made a ton again, been on and off a variety of drugs from marijuana to meth to heroin, and has been associated in one way or another with the death of about 15-20 people including having a girl he was in love with die setting off a chain of events that led to a plane crash with 100 or so people dying, watching an innocent kid get murdered, and personally murdering several people while nearly being killed multiple times himself. All of that happened in the span of a year. Thats enough crap for almost anyone to begin breaking down mentally, much less a guy who is basically a kid in his early to mid 20s like Jesse.

I love how Walt is pretty much Gus now. From expanding his empire with two car washes, handling Lydia the exact same way Gus handled Walt when they first met and even when Walt was throwing up, he turns the water on and uses the towel to keep his knees cleans. Brilliant writing. That confrontation was so unexpected but sets up even more intensity for the last 7.

Yep.

I bet Gus' history comes back up somewhere in these episodes. He was such a badass that even the Cartel would never take the chance at killing him, entirely because of his past. It would be strange if there are no repercussions for Walt for killing Gus.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ya, I'm not sure how you can be a big fan of the show, yet still demand and expect that Jesse wouldn't become an emotional wreck, tbh..the character development and their intricacies is part of the greatness of this show, tbh..Jesse is a drug addict, the majority of them are weak by nature, and that's exacerbated by the murders and chaos that he has helped engineer, tbh..

A weak, young, drug addict who was essentially coerced into a lifestyle that doesn't suit his ability, thus it only makes sense for Jesse to have a meltdown that will probably result in his fatal demise IMO..I'm not a fan of Jesse, so I'm cool with his inevitable death, tbh..in real life, a nigga like Jesse wouldn't survive the high-end drug game, tbh..

And the character arc for Walt is one of the most fascinating in TV history, tbh..

At least with Tony Soprano, they attempted to humanize him as boss, sometimes negating his sociopathic actions, but with Walter White, it appears that they're eliminating all of remaining empathic traits, tbh..the creator of the show wasn't kidding when he compared him to Tony Montana, they're following the same character development, tbh..I love Walter White though, I hope the series ends with him alive with his money + Skyler/Jesse dead, tbh:lol..

Tony Montana had no development in his character, he was a complete psychopathic asshole at the beginning and eventually became a psychopathic asshole with lots of money. It's The Godfather for retarded coons

[Phillip]

I don't think its possible for Walt to live in the end, at least based off of remarks by Gilligan that all questions will have been answered and no loose ends remain. If Walt somehow lives, even if he loses all of his family, knowing his personality, capabilities, and his extreme pride, EVERYONE is going to be wondering what he does next. Walt has to die. It's just a matter of how he goes out, IMO. Not to mention Gilligan's constant references to him being "Scarface"... Scarface dies.

I agree.

My prediction is that everyone will die except for Saul (since they're going to make a Saul spinoff show). Jessie, Todd, Walt, his family, Hank will die and Saul will be left with bags of cash.

[Phillip]

I have a hard time believing the baby dies.

My biggest question is, who gets the ricin? I'm thinking either Walt or Jesse. Fitting, since it originated with them, and they have never used it yet.

[Joyrider]

I agree.

They haven't confirmed yet if the spin off show will be a sequel or prequel so I still think Saul gets a bullet.

[Phillip]

Why would Saul die? I just don't see much reason to kill him off. I guess something could transpire, but I don't see it happening.

[johnsmith]

Why would Saul die? I just don't see much reason to kill him off. I guess something could transpire, but I don't see it happening.

I could see the baby getting killed somehow, like in a car crash where Skylar and Jr get killed too. If it does happen, they won't show it, it will just be implied.

I hope Saul doesn't get killed, he's such a good character.

[leemajors]

Did anyone else listen to Gilligan on Nerdist recently?

[Joyrider]

I can see people chasing for Walts whereabouts , Declan, Todd, or the Czechs and if Walt used Saul guy to disappear, then they can easily get to Saul for the address and kill him in not corpoporting. I can't see Saul snitching on either Jesse or Walt after all this time.

[HarlemHeat37]

I agree, I meant that Walt's development has transformed him into Tony Montana, which Gilligan has alluded to since the start, but I wasn't expecting it to be so literal, tbh..

I also agree with stretch that Scarface is one of the most overrated movies of all-time, tbh..

[Bill_Brasky]

Carlito's way is a way better Pacino film imo.

I like Scarface for what it is: basically a live-action comic book where everything is way overdone.

The bozo the clown comments about Lydia's face were a little harsh. At the end of the day, you know you would still hit it. I thought this meme was funny http://i.qkme.me/3ro7tk.jpg

[Darius McCrary]

I don't get the Lydia love, some people just think anyone is hot.

Also, the Emo Jesse thing wouldn't be so bad if the show hadnt been jerking around with Jesse growing up and going emo in alternating fashion. I mean in episode 10 of season 4, we had Jesse calling cartel people A-holes to their faces, shot a guy like 8 times to protect Mike, and started to get really confident in himself. Then a few episodes later he's all emo again. In season 4, I expected Jesse tobecome more grizzled when season 5 rolled around, especially after that Salud episode of season 4. I guess it's pretty obvious thats not going to happen anymore, but its tiring seeing Jesse be an emotional wreck when we've seen sneaks of him be the man.

It's just a nitpick. Still love Jesse's character.

[Proxy]

I think we'll see Jesse get up again... he's smart enough to figure that Mike is dead after all.

I'm thinking the scenes where Walt has hair and returns to the house are after he fakes his death... then comes back to kill Hank or everyone. It is a year later after all, since we saw him do the bacon thing in the first episode of this season. Badger's Star Trek rant had an odd focus too... seems foreboding. Maybe Walt uses Jesse as some kind of decoy and kills him... or something.

[JMarkJohns]

I love how Walt is pretty much Gus now. From expanding his empire with two car washes, handling Lydia the exact same way Gus handled Walt when they first met and even when Walt was throwing up, he turns the water on and uses the towel to keep his knees cleans. Brilliant writing. That confrontation was so unexpected but sets up even more intensity for the last 7.


Yep.

I bet Gus' history comes back up somewhere in these episodes. He was such a badass that even the Cartel would never take the chance at killing him, entirely because of his past. It would be strange if there are no repercussions for Walt for killing Gus.

Not sure if mentioned yet, but I saw on a different site a poster identify that Walt picks up traits/actions of those he's killed.

Crazy 8 was cutting crust of sandwich
Mike was ordering drinks on the rocks
Gus was actions you said above and driving a Volvo (get away car in flash forwards)

Interesting twist is the birthday bacon age arrangement.

Red herring?!

I kind of want to rewatch the series to notice the others.

Who were others that he directly killed? As opposed to Indirectly like Jane, Gail.

Druggies with his car. I can't recall others directly.

[That's Funked Up]

What's with everyone upset with Jesse and his moods? Is it really a shocker? He has made a ton of money, lost it, made a ton, lost it, made a ton, lost it, and made a ton again, been on and off a variety of drugs from marijuana to meth to heroin, and has been associated in one way or another with the death of about 15-20 people including having a girl he was in love with die setting off a chain of events that led to a plane crash with 100 or so people dying, watching an innocent kid get murdered, and personally murdering several people while nearly being killed multiple times himself. All of that happened in the span of a year. Thats enough crap for almost anyone to begin breaking down mentally, much less a guy who is basically a kid in his early to mid 20s like Jesse.

It would be fine if these weren't the last episodes. He didn't even say bitch

I think Jesse is written perfectly. Easily my favorite character followed by Hank and Mike (in that order). I like what they've done with Walt a lot but I don't like him very much anymore. Not a likeable character but a really really impressive story and development.

I"m trying not to read too much about the show and definitely staying away from any leaks and the like. I'm enjoying the hell out of it and I want to find out organically how it ends. Haven't looked forward to the end of a show so much since Lost.

That wasn't the most exciting episode but it was completely necessary. It moved the story along nicely and gets you prepared for what's to come.

I did think the scene with skylar and Marie was as intense as any other scene in the show. Two sisters that upset with each other followed by the baby thing had a lump in my throat...I'm so f'ing excited for next week.

I don't see how Gus' guys would not be a factor. If the cartel was so intimidated by them that they wouldn't kill Gus, then obviously they are people you do not want to mess with. It doesn't make any sense for them to have shown any scenes making implications about his background being fear inspiring, for no reason at all. And Gilligan pretty much puts everything into the show with a purpose in mind.

if you saw the preview for the next episode, sure they are becoming mad men ish with the shit they show, no real scenes just characters speaking to almost a still image but from what i heard walt is speaking to saul asking him how much he knows and saul speaking to jesse says he had no idea he would do that, so presumably jesse has found out brock or more likely if you ask me he finds out about Mike. either way he has found out something that should finish their relationship. i mean he already suspects it too, wouldnt be hard to connect some dots. saul will probably save jesse's ass like last time and it will slip in the conversation they have on the way back.
i thought since the episode was named confessions, jesse was gonna squeal. i guess maybe not.

Simple really, because Skyler did her sister wrong. Marie's husband was almost murdered and suffers long-term injuries on account of Walt's business. And her sister knew about it the whole time. Sounds like a justified slap to me.

And Skyler is no longer 'the victim', they moved away from that for at least a full season. Marie, for all her nagging and shit, is a much more sympathetic character than Skyler.

So many things are coming together in this show. There has been so much foreshadowing. There was a line by Saul a couple seasons ago, something like, "what is the first thing a lottery winner doesn't do when he wins the lottery? Buy a lottery ticket.." And then Walt puts the coordinates on the lottery ticket.

I can see Lydia trying to get Jesse back in the game, forcefully, to get the quality back up -- and Walt ends up trying to bust Jesse back out. Don't forget that he has an M60 in his trunk and the Ricin he pulled from the house in E1. Something is happening with one/both of those.

I don't know how you can't have sympathy for her. She actively took part in the business because it was the only way to keep the kids out of the house.

Walter's gonna kill Hank. The talk about not killing family when he was with the lawyer was probably true, but once he realizes it's hank or prison, he'll probably kill Hank. That's if Hank continues to hesitate about going all out on turning in Walt. I don't think he'll get anything useful out of Pinkman and spend a few more episodes looking for his "proof" then when he finds it, Heisenberg will get rid of him.

The money for Ted wasn't a bribe. Skyler was Beneke Fabrications' accountant of record during the period being audited and she could have been on the hook legally if he didn't pay the balance he owed the IRS.

Someone pointed this out. In season two, they had those weird flash forwards with the burned doll floating in Walt's pool, but only for a few episodes. Those episodes were:

"Seven Thirty-seven"
"Down"
"Over"
"ABQ" (the airport code for Albuquerque)

The last episode has Jane's air traffic controller dad, distraught over her death, causing the mid air collision of a small plane and a 737 over Albuquerque, raining debris all over the city and Walt's house.

[GoodOdor]

The money for Ted wasn't a bribe. Skyler was Beneke Fabrications' accountant of record during the period being audited and she could have been on the hook legally if he didn't pay the balance he owed the IRS.

But at that point she was already off the hook - she convinced the auditor that is was incompetence, so really it was only Ted on the hook for that fine. She decided to take Walt's money because she wanted to help Ted.

Her act to get the auditor thinking it was incompetence was what got the IRS to agree to payment in lieu of a full and proper audit. That payment doesn't come through, though, and they're doubly motivated to open the books and go over everything with a fine-toothed comb.

Finding myself strangely attracted to Saul....

How did the lookout with a long range rifle get ambushed in the middle of flat desert?

Not flat TBH. West Texas and Eastern NM is flat as shit but most of NM west of the central mountains - and Albuquerque- is not flat.

I think the reason why there is love for Lydia is because out of her, Marie, and Skylar, she is the least fucked up woman. And she looks pretty good in her dress skirts and fuck me heels. Maybe, Meth Damon and her can get together.

LMAO!

[MannyIsGod]

But at that point she was already off the hook - she convinced the auditor that is was incompetence, so really it was only Ted on the hook for that fine. She decided to take Walt's money because she wanted to help Ted.

Do you guys listen to the dialogue? She specifically covered this. You think the IRS was going to ignore the debt and just never want it?

Wow what the fuck?

Someone pointed this out. In season two, they had those weird flash forwards with the burned doll floating in Walt's pool, but only for a few episodes. Those episodes were:

"Seven Thirty-seven"
"Down"
"Over"
"ABQ" (the airport code for Albuquerque)

The last episode has Jane's air traffic controller dad, distraught over her death, causing the mid air collision of a small plane and a 737 over Albuquerque, raining debris all over the city and Walt's house.

Good catch. Also read about the episode where Jane died -- not really pertinent to the story now, just that it was foreshadowed -- Jesse made Jane breakfast in bed and took it to her. She woke up before he got there, and he goes "you weren't supposed to wake up.." she responded "ever?" Also, Walt lays his new baby down on the mattress, and puts down a spit up cloth next to her face and says something about "in case you spit up in your sleep.."

Another thing that is pretty neat is that Walt is sort of "absorbing" some mannerisms of the people he has killed. He killed Krazy 8 (who cut the crust off his sandwiches) and then Walt starting doing the same thing. He killed Mike, and started drinking whiskey on the rocks (he would previously order w/o rocks), and when he threw up, he placed a towel on the floor to kneel on -- which is what Gus Fring did when he threw up the poison pill he'd purposely ingested. (Just found the link that describes this: http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2013/08/breaking-bad-blood-money-rewatch-color-schemes-theories-and-foreshadowing/)


Reading that link, there is a ton of color hints that Gilligan is dropping. Nothing is coincidental in this show.

I love the scene with Walt's neighbor dropping the groceries when she sees him and the oranges rolling out. In the Godfather movies, oranges were frequently used as a sign of impending danger.

We also don't know that the lookout stayed on the perch when they went down in the hole. He was there when they arrived, but once they arrived, he may well have gotten down. It's not a plot hole, there's no reason to speculate one way or the other.

[HeatChamps]

Skysenberg. :D

That's awesome! :lol How much do you think they pinched out of that stack?

[oh crap]

almost time

[TE]

I love this shit. Wow

[TE]

:lol Hank

[Lincoln]

Damn...Jesse...

[oh crap]

aaron paul has really turned into a good actor.

[Darius McCrary]

Huel you dumbass

Now Jesse is going to figure out everything

[oh crap]

holy. shit.

[Darius McCrary]

That was just ignorant

Now Jesse is a dead man walking, point of no return, he'll never recover

He prob writes Heisenberg on Walt's house too, Walt has to kill him.

[Lincoln]

Huel fucked up. Jesse dies in the next 2 episodes imo

[CubanSucks]

Someone please explain the last part for fucks sake. This is the first time I've been lost

[Lincoln]

Jesse has just noticed that Huell lifted the pot out of his jacket as he left the office. He then thinks back to the last time Huell confronted him in Saul's office, which was right before the ricin was lifted.

Jesse has now connected the dots, and knows that Saul is involved in Brock's poisoning.

[Phillip]

maybe the best episode yet

[Lincoln]

The car was supposed to dispose of the body. Saul calls Walt to tell him the plan failed and he goes to get the gun from soda machine

Jesse gonna burn down walts house now and spray paint heiseinberg on the wall

[TE]

What a buildup tbh

So you're saying that guy wasn't going to relocate Jesse he was gonna flat out kill him? I guess it's semantics by now

But Walt used that plant to poison Brock and didn't the doctor tell Jesse and the mom that? And Jesse's just now figuring out the cig is gone?

Have you even been watching the show? wtf???

[Phillip]

I don't agree with Lincoln on this, unless I missed something. I think he really was going to relocate Jesse. Jesse simply figured out that Walt poisoned Brock, and things went haywire.

[Lincoln]

So you're saying that guy wasn't going to relocate Jesse he was gonna flat out kill him? I guess it's semantics by now

I would have to assume that. Maybe it was for relocation idk

I'm just confused cause in the future Walter with hair goes back and gets the ricin

[CubanSucks]

Ok

[Lincoln]

Yeah that might be it too. Jesse figured out Walt poisoned the kid after the first incident with hurl. Your prob more right than what I posted originally

[DesignatedT]

Awesome episode!

[Darius McCrary]

I don't agree with you but it really can be taken either way. That is what makes it cool.

Walt gave Jesse a big guilt trip for "losing" the Ricin IIRC

Huel/Saul fucked up royally. Jesse picked up on it instantly.

[Phillip]

I would have to assume that. Maybe it was for relocation idk

Walt didnt use ricin on Brock. He used Lily of the Valley berries. He had Huell steal the ricin off of Jesse to make Jesse believe that the ricin was used on Brock, then twisted Jesse's mind up to make Jesse think it was Gus.

[CubanSucks]

So Jesse thinks Walt used the ricin to poison Brock? I thought everyone knew it wasn't ricin. The end of season 4 is the camera zooming in on that plant in Walt's backyard, right?

[AnthonyM]

I don't agree with Lincoln on this, unless I missed something. I think he really was going to relocate Jesse. Jesse simply figured out that Walt poisoned Brock, and things went haywire.

I don't see any reason to believe otherwise, either. Walt would have killed Jesse in the desert (even though I do believe he did not want to do that), if need be. But Jesse agreed to be relocated. I don't think it's any deeper than that.

[CubanSucks]

I guess I never thought of Jesse thinking Gus needed Walt for ricin. Jesse does learn it wasn't ricin after Gus is already dead, right?
