Come again?
While it would of been easy to have paid off the kid, this in itself is a microcosm of how the thing is going to become derailed. Notice the numerous train metaphors or symbolism? I think it was a foolish thing for Todd to do, but it also proves that this isn't a streamlined operation that will avoid being detected.
Come again?
I was referring to the usage of train specific items in this season--Walt saying nothing is stopping this train...the train theme of last night's episode and whatnot. Could outside the bounds include the Jesse James reference in that, too if you want to stretch it to the outlaw robbing trains. (just grasping on that one).
I also see the way they are behaving in this season is akin to a train as it is going one way and that's full speed ahead and the slightest mistake like killing a kid and whatnot will derail them eventually.
I understand the complaint that there hasn't been enough Jesse yet this season, but I'm thoroughly enjoying his new role as the idea man (and occasional tortilla thief).
I'm enjoying the cliffhanger considerably less. This is the first season I'm watching in real time, and this waiting a week for the payoff business is for the birds. Harumph.
Incidentally, I am somewhat confused how they knew their exact tanker would end up on the trestle when the train stopped. And I find it hard to believe that all that noise they were making wouldn't be heard 800 feet away in such a wide open landscape with zero noise pollution.
But the rest of the episode was so great I'm willing to go with it.
I kept thinking...yeah, they probably unloaded some other chemical or liquid and they'll rue the fact that they went through all that for naught. Nor could they use the power tool w/o someone hearing it. Oh well, episode was one of the better ones for this young season.
Or the gas powered pump, which had to have been loud enough that a dirt bike could sneak up on them.
who raised you? How were you raised? And I don’t buy this case where people say they don’t have values. They do have values. They have the wrong values. Don’t come near the kids — don’t touch them.
Get away from that kid. Take your stuff away to the alley. Don’t touch the children. Don’t get near them.
and yeah, them not getting noticed out there, with all the noise they were making, hard to believe. and then they had to throw that extra Hollywood drama in there with the "good samaritan" and barely finishing on time... what are the odds, two other people out there in the middle of nowhere at that very moment
Jesse had a wheel pedometer when thy checked the bridge out, and assuming the lady had the manifestos on hand for the shipment it would not be entirely unreasonable for them to work it out.
what are the odds any of this would happen, dumbass?
what are the odds a push-over, near genius chemist hooks up with a druggie ex student to become the best meth manufacture in the southwest WITHOUT being killed by numerous Mexican cartel and a close big time boss and his crew all while hiding it from his ing DEA brother-in-law?
You're watching the wrong show if you're looking for realistic cir stances
Good episode, although I thought that Walt and Jesse unloading all the details of their plan/operation to Todd was a bit too much on the nose. Still too much telegraphing and over-plotting this season.

. Just watched the episode.
Worst part about getting into a show before its ended is this. ing hate it sometimes. Its awesome to be able to do 10 hour marathons on season (plus stuff is fresher when you watch).
that and fantasy book series
THIS applies to so much. I don't get how people get hung up on such small details on works of fiction that are pretty god dam unrealistic to begin with.
Just suspend the disbelief and enjoy the plot and characters. Oh, and enjoy that stabbing pain in your gut the last episode left you with.
I'm just waiting for George RR Martin to die before SOIF is done.that and fantasy book series
the improbability of the main story is a very different thing than going to extreme abnormalities just to make an episode work.
any great story is going to be improbable, that doesn't mean you can start conveniently making people go deaf, or congregate where they normally wouldn't...
Walt's improbable accomplishments are only amazing and entertaining if the show stays grounded in reality otherwise. If he only managed all that because of coincidences and lightning strikes and convenient drunk drivers or whatever it wouldn't be a very good show
that happened to robert jordan and the wheel of time twas quite gay
Just started watching this; pretty promising so far. Halfway into the pilot I already like it way better than Boardwalk Empire.
you're in for a ride. i was fairly late too but once it gets you, that's pretty much it.
My buddy pointed out he picked up the spider when the train whistle blew when they were taking off again. It's likely he didn't see .
A particularly dark moment on The Price is Right.
Recent episode felt somehow annoying to watch until the last few minutes. Still love the show and gotta rewatch it.
Anyway throwing darts here :
Walt uses Todd and Lydia to get rid of Mike and scares away Jesse. Walt uses Jesse's friends for some .
Walt Jr. will try meth or get into some teenage shenanigans with his new ride
Skylar and Anna Gunn become even more cringe worthy to watch
