Agreed. They'd have to go full cornball in the finale for us to hate the shit after 5 years of entertainment. We're all just wondering ...
- Who lives?
- Who dies?
- Does the big gun get used?
- Does the ricin get used ... and by/for who?
- Does Lydia show us some ass and/or titties?
- Does Hank rise from the dead and make the arrest?
- Did Walt ever actually watch Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium?
- These are the burning questions, BGOL fam'. Straight realness.
so on sunday we find out walt dreamt and hallucinated the last 5 seasons as a side effect from the chemotherapy. then he dies from lung cancer.
that'd be fucked up!
i'm inclined to think that i was wrong about it being walt on the phone.
i'm also inclined to believe that mike is a more likely answer. gus wouldn't have involved himself directly in the process, and it would make more sense that mike do his bidding in that regard.
the sole objection i have with a gus/mike solution is why would gus intervene on hank's behalf? after all, it was gus who offered the salamancas hank in the first place.
so then gus/mike takes a back seat to someone else, like juan bolsa.
The Shield had a awesome ending as well. Probably my favorite of any show i have ever watched if i can remember correctly.
because at this point hank was no threat to gus , and gus wanted the cousins dead and he hated tio
he only told them about hank so they would leave him and walt alone
We know Todd knew how to make White's brand because he assisted him for several months, the fact that Todd no longer knows how to make it blue is unknown to white. We also know that there has been at least one imitator of his product in the past and if that's what people in the streets are looking for, it stands to reason that other meth producers have also imitated his product. With that being said for White to conclude that Jessie must be alive and cooking based only on the color of the meth is ridiculous. If the potency of the meth was mentioned you would have a point.
The fact that the blue was in European markets alludes to Todd and Lydia working again, and jesse being alive. Walt knows that Lydia won't distribute inferior product she only worked with Todd due to his connection to Walt. Lydia was going to walk and Todd said he'll get the blue back, then him and uncle Jack negotiated the deal to kill Jesse for Walt to do one cook.
Plenty of scavengers used food coloring or other techniques to copy the Heisenberg brand but Shasta can never be original Cocoa-Cola. His blue brand wasn't imitated in Europe. Todd have never been able to make it blue without Walt, the best he did was 76% without him.
Gale said in his brief appearance that he had been studying the Heisenberg brand and was impressed by Walt's technique, that he could probably do it but the artistry to it was difficult...then he gave him the Walt Whitman book that lead to his downfall
.
but that doesn't play out logically.
tio and salamanca cousins want walt.
gus says hands off walt.
cousins show up at pollos every day pressuring gus.
gus offers up hank instead of walt.
ok, that should end the flowchart.
what does gus gain by crossing salamancas with a tip off to hank?
why not let the salamancas go about their business, sacrifice hank as a peace offering, and squash beef?
in the end, gus has mike off the remaining salamanca cousin anyway!
on the other hand, if juan bolsa and crew tip off hank, hank survives, salamancas are thwarted, salamancas blood thirst for walt grows, and they have leverage against gus.
faulty premise, therefore flawed conclusion.
walt DID know that todd could not replicate blue sky.
recall that lydia visited walt at A1 about that very subject.
1 thing to keep in mind. many fans would have no reason to know this, but there are TWO manufacturing methods used in breaking bad.
walt and jesse's original product was HIGH purity, but NOT blue. because of the manufacturing process.
when walt and jesse switched to cooking with methylamine, the result was BLUE sky for tuco.
That's not true, Lydia complained to White about the quality not the color. If you can remember Lydia was surprised when the batch that she witnessed Todd cooking didn't turn blue ,now at this point ,Todd had cooked at least two batches on his own, if the other batches weren't blue why would she be surprised?
yes, there was another poster who misinterpreted that scene.
if you listen to the dialogue, lydia WAS NOT surprised that the batch didn't turn blue (or was not blue).
lydia WAS EXPECTING it to turn blue due to her ignorance of the manufacture process. big difference. listen to her lines again.
when lydia complained about the quality (to walt at A1), walt ALREADY KNEW (based on the purity level) that it would not be his (or even jesse's) blue sky.
Not really, just like America if blue meth is what's wanted on the street then others will copy. White would have no way of knowing where the meth came from.
Not true, she told Todd and his uncle that as long as it's blue they could slide with less purity than the Heinsberg product.
You're right about that but if you put Shasta in a Coke can you won't know until you taste it. Every time some blue meth is found it's going to be attributed to White regardless of if it's Coke or Shasta.
You have no way of knowing that.
You know the color had nothing to do with the potency.
actually, they are concomitant.
watch the episode where jesse cooks with badger in the RV.
I think you need to watch that scene again, it's clear she expected it to turn blue.
Put yourself in Todd's shoes. How realistic would it be for you to do something on a consistent basis several times a week for several months and then forget how overnight? Remember Victor? He never assisted White at all and only watched but he knew all the steps and was confident he could cook. Now Todd along with White cooked their 50th batch on Monday, White quits Tues. and Todd forgets everything he's learned over the last few months on Weds.
Once again not true. The only difference between the first batch of meth he cooked and blue sky is the color. The first time we see the blue meth was when he gave it to Tuco. Tuco says what is this shit it's blue. White then says we changed the chemical process but it's every bit as pure as the last batch. Every bit as, not better, not stronger not more potent but equal to his clear batch.
D,
you're completely wrong. but you won't know it until you go and watch what i told you.
jesse cooking solo with badger in the RV.
what color were the first batches? what was the purity of those batches? what did jesse do with those batches?
jesse reaching a level of competence in manufacturing blue sky (not yet at his cartel audition 96.2 mark, but on his way) is what compelled walt to accept gus' offer to cook for $3M.
completely wrong again.
lydia ASKED a completely ludicrous question. she didn't make an affirmative statement. again, BIG difference.
example:
"when is it going to turn blue?"
example:
"hey! this shit is gray. you fucked up the cook!"
one demonstrates a complete and thorough ignorance of the manufacturing process.
the other demontrates a knowledge of the manufacturing process.
When Jessie and Badger were in the RV cooking they were still two episodes away from the blue meth. Jessie is trying to get the clear glass that White cooked first. The RV cook was episode 5 the first blue meth was episode 7.
completely wrong again.

This is exactly what she said, where's the blue? Uncle Nazi says where's the what? Lydia then says the blue color, does it come later after it hardens? Where is it? She then says I am correct in assuming this should be blue? Uncle Nazi then says I think the headline here should be 76 percent. Lydia then goes on to tell them how important the color is. My question is, if Todd's first few cooks on his own were not blue, then shouldn't they have already had this discussion? I also have to ask again how likely is it that Todd would forget overnight, something he's been doing several times a week for several months? Isn't it far more likely that after he was kicked to the curb and wasn't cooking anymore that when he returned he may have forgotten a step or two?

Spanish-language remake
After several days of speculation fueled by Univision,[107] on March 13, 2013, Sony confirmed that it would be making a Spanish-language remake of Breaking Bad entitled Metástasis starring Diego Trujillo as Walter Blanco (Walter White) and Roberto Urbina as Jose Miguel Rosas (Jesse Pinkman), alongside Sandra Reyes and Julián Arango in unnamed roles.[108]
Hat's off to you sir. I've never seen this word before in my 30+ years in life. I like learning and using new words.
