Walt with hair from s05e01! The ricin is bound to come into play later

Hello Carol :pac:

Extremely promising episode to get us back into the swing of things. I wasn't expecting that scene at the end where Hank reveals to Walt that he knows who he is so early, but it sets things up very nicely.

I wonder who's going to be killed by the ricin?

Scar Tissue

Whoever voted poor would want to be poisoned with ricin.

It was a good episode up until the end but that last 10 minutes comfortably moved it into excellent territory imo.

I can't believe this got a "poor" vote :O

I really don't think I'm blinded by my love for the show, that was an absolutely amazing episode!

Anyone got an opinion on the Star Trek conversation? I presume the blueberry pie eating contest was a pretty transparent metaphor for selling meth.

Not sure who the three competitors (Chekov, Spock and Kirk) are supposed to be.

The whole angle with the woman distracting Scotty is presumably a hint as to what's about to go down.

I think you're reading too much into it.

2 druggies out of their bin, simple as that.

I think you've been watching too much lost...

Correction: two actors playing druggies out of their bin, in a scripted show that is full of twists, hints and forward/backward cuts in time.

Maybe you're right about how I'm reading too much into it, but the writers and director put it in there to either drop us a hint as to how it's all going to end, or as a red herring to throw people off. Either way it was put in for a reason.

well if you want to continue that idea, the stomach being "beamed" out could correspond to the poison going into someone's stomach. And by the sounds of things if anyone was to cheat selling meth it might be Jesse.

I think they're just trying to find something for the actors to do. Like with the video game zombies talk in the last season.

Very good opener, great line at the end by Walt.

Its gonna get even better thats for sure.

Roll on next week .

edit - and great star trek ramble by the lads !! I hope they have more airtime this season.
