well you know what the Flex Breaking Bad conversation
to episodes left I didn't think
also to Raleigh tonight with Alonso I did not think after last week
and the energy around that single television up so than that could be
replicated but it it was exceeded
holy crap yeah holy crap I mean I'm sorry that
you know I'm try the bread in Chino hard here right now
goals tits saying right and it's just
it's a show that you know what I I would break my favorite shows
I'm really your television we've talked about it's been so great over the last
fifteen years since the Sopranos in
you know I the for me it was like the wire Sopranos and Edward
and I've always a breaking bad you know man in the top 10
you're actually but now it seems like you have to now after
maybe think about adjusting to stop yeah I mean that last
that here's the thing I you know we're weird we're taping a little later than
usual today so I thought originally was organ- what's shown tonight
little time to watch again on Monday morning in US troops the
and when it came to this one either a I can't watch it again I'm not ready he ok
emotionally to sit through that again the vance-owen fit that happens it is so
intense and so crazy I decided I couldn't do it yeah i i watch day
yesterday I need a break from 38 hours a football
and I washed the East Coast be mmm at 6
a and so
I I wasn't quite ready for yeah it was the wife Sandra so I was still out
and I you know it's just I stepped away from the Seahawks in the Niners and all
of a sudden
like all okay sweet we luv you
so it's cool so I are I thought was my first a
was a man DS which is a Shelly poems right right look upon my works ye mighty
and despair which is better but a poem about
the sort of fleeting nature of the grandest love
plans and and empires and we're certainly seeing that the
the Heisenberg empires collapsing piece by piece
so I'm so in his collapse in the Empire
it was an amazing episode for Bryan Cranston amazing episode for wall
because we see for some all interesting they don't show anybody getting shot
the they just say okay that gun battle and it and as you might imagine the guys
who were outgunned had no shot
my and and go me is dead the as we predicted
and Hank is shot the leg
right any and and then
they go to execute who hank as you would expect
they were they've already killed one DEA agent you can't leave one
alive and then Walt gets out of the car is freed from the car
and pleads for Hanks life in this very real way
yeah and offers eighty million dollars
for having to live like who is this it is not to fully redemptive course but it
is a
redemptive moment for did you think a totally no no no
meds or sites has been doing great Breaking Bad recaps on
on culture our talks about how you know that those are ongoing battle between
I Walter White and Heisenberg you know
Walter White is the the number she chemistry teacher with the
the family in a more conscious and Eisenberg is the drug kingpin
and in this episode you release or to see the two with them almost acting in
tandem released
you know simultaneously not being either or
and so that's definitely a moment I love love walter white
you know we coming out in Indian when trying to keep ankle I've
but before long when it comes to finding jesse's back I the bridge instead it's
amazing because we get this
he's the protagonist in a show and he was a very likeable character
for a bit Road work maybe even into the third well into the third season which
the prologue reminds us up we should mention right we go back we see
a on Rachael bad like the first cock and the
like that and then ryan Johnson who directed it has the the
all that vanishes mmm and is replaced then by the
so there's so it was that was interesting direction there
on get so he was the protagonist in a show that is enormously popular
see you wanna liking you always wanna like a man everybody is watching the
show was sort of had this
sure there's this rolling realization that whenever he has broken bad
know that it's not there's not even a balance Road is evil
I risk the lives of children killed
March relatively innocent man you know up
and so but then as I was talking to Jesus
let them do it. before and like that moment where he
was willing to give up his hole everything eighty million dollars
to save thanks wifey like yeah Walt I
yeah wall then he goes jesse's under the car
I like okay yeah
good skill you know he said that he intends to the show was to turn goodbye
mister chips and a Scarface
well you know and that's the record we've been going down
a and for now and then not only does the point jesse out to be executed
then it is two things one here they're like
Todd shows up you know Matt Damon shows up and says
either weird suggestion that they need to get information from them we learned
that's not tied to 10
but that time says that to him and then wall to get whatever
torture I don't care for them yet but with the idea that we need to find the
information that he gave to
to these two dead guys who are not in touch with the rest the DEA's Oh what
every didn't tell them is buried with them in the middle one does it better
than nothing but rather
whatever Shaurya so that works we later learned that what I wanna Jesse for ways
to cook
retired wants to make the good math so they can impress Lydia and you settle
down and be a happy married couple I
so but that was interesting and has written fifth time to and Todd great
line the wall
that sorry for your lost lover lover for life meet on Monday at is manipulative
is not nearly as done as we thank
no and he is a annie is a sociopath yes
but then not only does wall say jesse is at a car
when there's no you know just this the in addition to that
he then as he's leaving he just oh yeah by the way
either way I watched change I I could have saved her
and didn't II so that that stuff that is the final straw it was the only thing
that did did
Jesse didn't know about Walter good well not now into
it's funny though like I love you're right it is the final straw but why on
earth did we hear Jesse or anyone else
meter final straw which grow our class roslyn
for a couple times there was a really good Hanks is it to the Nazi in these is
again later to
Skyler the idea that you can then you can take this money and create a new
future and you can be anything
and that's almost exactly with jane says
to jesse when she's trying to get him to blackmail
Walt and get all the money from him your I don't recall much as you like
which is gone any that all the time a really go to New Zealand law became a
bush pilot remember all that stuff a belief that said same speech about like
the this money will make it possible to completely rewrite your cell but
as we have learned from you know john frankenheimer seconds in any number of
other stories it's like
you can order what opportunities you have to reinvent yourself
you're still with you really I'm right you weren't going to be any different
than they did your gonna make all the same fucking mistakes again
yeah it was a and then though so wall has this
wonderful really really powerfully acted moment about
frantically handcuffed yes handcuffed front-runner frantically save
hackett hank course realizing while being still
even at this stage idly out of his element around yeah
naive right neighbor on criminals hanks like to is gonna kill me
I could do a Lima and so I'm not gonna bag because I'm dead
on and a temperate hank does not give Walt and outs of
redaction and say thanks nothing just do we have to do
a and then wall though a point that I miss sometimes I'm amazed that I have
achieved any degree sophisticated television viewing because
when Walt calls he steals the baby takes Holly
race the fight knife fight bro wary
our his hand gets cut by Schuyler and
while juniors to break up a knife fight between as well I got you in your office
breaking my heart so and then Hank just to punish Skyler to Walt just about to
Skyler steals
how right and then when he calls
and yells at Schuyler and culture bitchin you didn't respect me this is
what you get
I'm like why isn't he he must
for someone like how can you not know the police are on the phone spare I
man I and then if you know the boys of all why is me telling them that he tried
to say banks like
at only layer does it occur to me 0
he does another good thing right exactly that winds up being that he's got family
off the hook
you have a family totally off the hook mom
so again doesn't make up for if you have the other
a yes the other the price for 3300 I
going back to the desert something the I think you might win a game outside the
pointed out
up the grimace on Walt's face when he is lying on the ground in their
under didn't have the money and they just kill hank is
a lot like the face up the Hoff all ceramic clown that we see Skyler
wrapping up at the beginning of the episode
how it was a cool well and everything and that's that was probably a
potentially a may not be reaching there that was a
I'm yes so I didn't I somehow mister didn't quite get
in the moment maybe it was still daylight that what hank was it what what
was doing and the tear
you know that that he was i really apparently I think his name should be
hey
overcome their ways wrong against the wall was crying
up like it was that that was a very very very
a powerful moment I think also realization that
it doesn't matter whether I make it clear that I tried to save
hank yep might matter to Marie but it doesn't matter if Perry does not know
Murray is there
but it doesn't matter anybody else like I'm
I've committed execute a ball Crocker I have cancer
they to others are dead whatever it makes no difference at all I can do at
this point is yours is
get Skyler outro be so evil that they guy beyond that they could possibly put
this yeah I make it look like that either you know
like this or to pay themselves or horrifying abusive husband which
p kinda was in certain ways are but in a way that
their any this collar might have done she did purely out of fear and doubt
have
intimidation by him so yeah that's it it's a brilliant you think Skyler
got that in the moment %uh
amid should be allowed to worry about yeah
she sees the memory mary Ann Marie don't realize you make me mad on her at the
moment but I'm at some point it will always be working with that when she
realizes the baby is safe
desire station now let's let's let's backtrack a bit is that after all the
stuff happening the desert then
armory comes to the car wash yeah which who was a whole new
bucket have crazy because she's talked on the phone with Hank so she
is under the assumption that what has been arrested what is in custody
and now it's time to spill the beans and make demands and tell world junior
what's going on
and I've been saying this whole season like I did I knew
that while junior finding out the truth was going to be
so devastating and it was a really really made that moment as
awful as it needed to be and then to Dick Cavett continue
to spill over into the house where a that became believe the world is there
and be that he idk just it all goes so badly so quickly where he's trying to
hustle matter their biz gonna meet up with you know solves guy in the minivan
the
to give them new identities and they've they've Skylar
finally just rich is a breaking point yeah I am
there was a guy that was a that was a a dramatic Three's Company moment you
like you like Noel find out their hands already getting your car to know the I
11 tell your son but to of course they did mom
I'm wonder who will play a
Sauls guy like I wonder you know
it would be great for like Clooney yeah it's better if we never see him as he
was such a mystery figures yeah and they're prepared to skip stuff so it
doesn't need to CME's in the car
but interesting think key conversations completely skipped
you know like again we didn't there was no we didn't hear the conversation above
while junior being told right you know come in that we just come in and the
metal which i think was good yet very effective
they've done that a couple times up I don't know I mean it was just it was so
one thing after another i mean you know again we see hank you see hank get
executed you see Jesse Hall the way
I to get tortured you have a baby kidnapped while junior finds out there's
a knife fight between parents
were I thought for a moment sky was gonna die
yes good accidentally fallen tonight I thought the baby was gonna get civilian
life is going on you ok fine to put
mister barone you know that was active at that point
in the episode clearly like all bets are off yeah I mean it was just so
much yet it didn't feel like they were
it wanted a breakneck speed but it didn't feel like
dramatically in from a storytelling well it didn't feel like they were
know it because it with this it is under this point they have a built up so much
the his
his life and his lies in all the stuff going on in the you know his his bizarre
sensible excuse or do you for the family
we knew this day was coming and we knew that when this day came it was gonna be
this
crazy and so I think everything that happened on the show is is
earned by everything that's been that's come before it and and the way that it
has all been set up
so were one absolute away from catching up to the flash forward
if we don't catch up it we'll catch up next we meet you next week right I have
two episodes that take place you know like in the now or where serious time
goes by
I mean not quite a year were pastors birthday right where we think nine
months like that you could be at the show and other time are the shows are
hard now them but yeah it's it's it's it's the better part of the year for his
grown hair back
he did write cancer I really doing okay or stopped chemo
so maybe he is dying of cancer course on
and is about to have this gun battle with with with with with the people I
know you guys it is the neo-nazis I do the rice is trying to get the money back
as the americorps is detective is vengeance for hank
you want to see if misguided or are we gonna get a moment
where he realizes
that jesse is worth saving
Mike that is that possible and
I think it is possible I don't know quite how we get there I trust is going
and we'll get there I guess but even even if wall decides to save Jesse I
don't know how wall
can ever make himself redeemable in just his eyes at this point
maybe but I care me with a look I'm gonna save you and I'm right you know
maybe he finds out that like
it was okay with Walt if he gave lilies of the field
that was golf love alley lilies of the valley
to leaves the field actually oh yes hopefully a
celebrities with it if he gives a that it's okay for him to poison Brock but if
he finds out
that perhaps the family is in jeopardy which is suggested
right the photos tacked up in my home at rocket as mother
maybe that's just because they were staking it out
before but Jesse obviously is gonna operate under the impression sure that
any better or are in jeopardy and maybe wall think
I can poison that kid but they can't and they'll
ago killing I don't know maybe this is all the shootout with pad
yet maybe he's the new math kingpin now he's the new gas for April would be
great if Matt Damon played yeah
works out of stock funds almost rather
through the day because we know the local remove the dead is of bed and and
Lydia obviously come back I don't think as I've said before I don't think that
checks
are can be a total I guess they could be I guess they could be there could be a
mcgovern it could be a MacGuffin yep
