When Walt said "I've left something outside for you" to Jesse I genuinely thought it was going to be a state of the art RV with a kick-ass meth lab inside, kind of like Pimp My Ride.

Haha! I thought that there's be a bomb in the bags for some reason.

Well, the score was certainly leading in that direction. Ominous, sinister backing tracks aren't usually something I would associate with someone about to become very wealthy. The whole time I could hear flashbacks of Gus' guttural roar as he realized there was a bomb. Of course, Jesse's variation would just be a massive "BITCH!!!".

I thought it was going to be mike's dead body in the bag.

Mr.Crinklewood · 03-09-2012 04:52PM

I thought it was going to be the RV, full of money.

Was that gun definitely belong to Jess or was it in the bag?

Great way to create the realization for Hank. I like that it was a reference to Gale rather than Walt being ratted out by someone else. A little more subtle than an outright confession from someone else.

The prison scene was surprisingly gruesome. I don't think there's been anything so violent in the show before. Gus' death was pretty gory, but it bordered on the absurd. This scene was reminiscent of the violence in The Sopranos, to me.

I still seriously distrust Lydia. I think there's gonna be trouble there. Mike really didn't seem keen on keeping her around and was suspicious of her, and given his level-headedness, I'd be inclined to feel that there's still more to unfold there.

I honestly thought something bad was going to happen with Jesse at his house, that it would be revealed that he was dealing again on a more low-key level, like before, or something like that. There still has to be some revelation about what happened to Jane and Andrea's kid. Still think Saul might be the one to blow that one for Walt.

And the Penny Drops! Probably the best way to describe Hanks expression at the end.

I was convinced there was going to be a phone ring from inside the toilet bowl at first but then I saw the book and knew.

They displayed the same book in a very obvious way after the shower scene at the start too so I Knew it must have had some relevance and I knew G.B was interested in Walt Whitman.

Kind of a slow episode overall but fantastic at building up tension. We knew something had to happen.

gnfnrhead · 03-09-2012 05:14PM

Was sure Jesse was going to spot something wrong at the start when they were setting up to dispose of Mike's body. He has a LOT to discover next year.

After seeing that pile of money Walt now has, I'd consider learning how to make Meth myself! :pac:

Gotta love Up the Junction being played during that last scene, effectively meaning "you're fcuked!".

iainconlon12 · 03-09-2012 05:34PM

I can only imagine Walt being killed now by either Hank or his recurring cancer. Hopefully the former but this next season will be full of action imo

For some reason, I don't see it being Hank.

howd that book end up at their house again?

Hank doesn't have a proof, but everything makes now, buying the car wash, paying for Hank's medical bills, the fancy new watch, Walt Jr's car.
.......

I agree, he's going to kick himself. However I don't think that Hank knows that Walt paid for his medical bills. They didn't tell him at the time and I don't remember him finding out at any later stage.

Good question, I watched all the episodes from the start a couple of weeks ago and I don't remember Gale giving him that book.

:cool:

homerun_homer · 03-09-2012 08:06PM

Excellent episode. My stomach was in knots watching it wondering how it was gonna end and on what type of cliffhanger. It's been a long time coming, excellent stuff.

Anyone else spot the Bin Laden assassination reference. The show is set before this happened so they shouldn't have been able to reference it.

CMpunked · 03-09-2012 08:15PM

Hank can't rat Walt out, he knows what will happen.
His whole livelihood will be destroyed.
They fired his boss, whatshisname, moustache dude just for having gus over for dinner.

Can you imagine what they would do to Hank if they know that the drug lord was his dam brother in law?!

Didn't Walter pay Hank's medical bills?

Mr E · 03-09-2012 08:24PM

The last scene needed a bowel evacuation to emphasise the impact to Hank.

Such a strange low-key episode. Everyone expecting tons of exposition and twists & turns may have been a bit disappointed, were it not for that last scene.

It's going to be a long 10 months.

Plop.

Is everyone forgetting the flash forward?

Dave! · 03-09-2012 08:27PM

Oh man, that was the bee's knees! Torture to have to wait 9 months, but there's about 4 shows resuming this month, so I'll have something at least

My thoughts exactly

Basq · 03-09-2012 08:38PM

Superb episode... not the most exciting in terms of big deaths but there was something truly superb scenes in it.

The shanking scenes, as mentioned, were superb... you know, one stab just isn't enough but 34 will just about do it!

Also the shot of Walter leaning down out of shot to put down his glass and leaning back in shot wearing the Hazmat suit will probably go down as one of the standout scenes of the series to me... it basically summarises the entire "Walt Vs Hank" conflict in a single magnificent shot.

I loved how there was so much emphasis about the meaning of the episode title before it aired.. it being a Walt Whitman poem and I genuinely don't think anyone online remembered that book that Gale gave Walt.

Hank's face was priceless... goddamn wait of a year now!

Poll added!

Poor is not an option.

There is something about her alright, she has nice legs. Although I wouldnt trust her! She is going to f**k up something.

Could it be the gun that Walt used to kill Mike?

They reminded us of that in Hazard Pay. I felt they made that a bit too obvious to be honest. A lot of people called it. - http://i.imgur.com/LLRqS.jpg

so hank took evidence home and it ended up in the bathroom?

Grimebox · 03-09-2012 09:04PM

I find it disturbing that Walt kept a gift from a man he had killed, a man who was incredibly fond of him too. Imagine reading that note from a man you killed on a regular basis. Walt is some piece of work.

Also anybody know the song playing in the background during the final scene next to the pool?

No, the first reference to W.W. was in Gale's Lab Notes which was found in Gale's apartment after Jesse shot him. So Hank knew about this mysterious W.W. person.

Gale had also given a Walt Whitman book to Walt with the inscription. Hank is over in Walt's house and picks up the book, reads the inscription and the penny drops......ideally with a plop.

No, you've got it a bit mixed up. The book is given to Walt in season 3 by Gale after he recites a poem by Walt Whitman in the lab (not sure if we see him handing him the book on camera). We do see Walt reading it in season 3 though, but can't remember which episode.

The above image is Walt finding the book when packing to move back home in season 5 episode 3. Basically, that was a nod to the audience of what was to come.

Hank's reference to W.W. comes from Gale's lab book, which the DEA were using as evidence in his murder case.

When he reads the WW. and GB. initials in Walt's book, it clicks.

Zero-Cool · 03-09-2012 09:23PM

I nearly choked when hank called the ice rocks! I cant believe how graphic the shankings were but they cant say f#ck.

9 minths us sime wait. The 16 or so usual programs I watch are starti.g back september and october so that will help at least.

Season is absolutely brilliant so far!
