Man, Skinny pete looks like such an old guy. Must be a beast on that keyboard.

 

[Courage]

I can't wait for the slightest little sneak peek from Gilligan.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

For me every episode is better than the previous one and I don't know how they do it because every time a see one I say this is the best of the season.

I think they've done a really great job with this half season so far. It's much much stronger than last year; it really does feel like every episode has been better than the last.

 

[Anth0ny]

Conan has been pretty funny so far

Skinny Pete on the keyboard! Lol

 

[Toa TAK]

I find it hilarious that Conan/TBS paid for clips of BB from Sony, but AMC won't do it for Talking Bad.

It's sad.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I do have an issue though. The idea that he could just sit in a Denny's in the flash forward in ABQ and no one would recognize him seems a little far fetched when he is one of the most wanted men in the country.

Yes and no. When he left he was still the bald-headed, instantly recognizable Heinsenberg and the media frenzy was still absolutely iron-hot and thus still in the bulk of the public consciousness. Now he looks like a frail man with a mop and it's at least two months later when things would have quieted down a bit in the public mindset of citizens..

Yeah as much as I don't think that newsroom best actor win was deserved, last half season felt like exactly that. It was a half season where a lot of setup occured. It definitely isn't as big of slap as Cranston losing for Season 4 which is just awful

True, it just seems like such a huge risk for him when he seems so set on revenge, unless he really doesn't care if he gets caught at all.

 

[inm8num2]

LOL.

 

[PAULINK]

Holly White: The Story Continues

Confirmed.

Jeff Daniels' submission was better than Cranston's submission.

No matter how many problems The Newsroom has, Daniels is fucking fantastic and was a better choice than Cranston for the win.

Cranston is a guaranteed lock next year.

 

[Rojo]

That stone cold brian face is gonna be gif'd

 

[BadTaste]

How upsetting is it that this show is finished in less than a week...fuck it.

Do we know which scene Cranston submitted? And yes I don't think there is any way anyone can top him this year, but then again I thought the same of Season 4.

 

[Rojo]

Dat twist

 

[NaM]

Yeah, 5a was good but 5b is superb quality, it's like a completely different league.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Do we know which scene Cranston submitted?

Episode. 'Say My Name'

 

[Vire]

LOL Cranston.

 

[Cornballer]

This letter is hilarious.

Do we know which scene Cranston submitted?

They submitted "Say My Name" (the whole episode)

 

[Macattk15]

There are quite a fucking few that I think Cranston should submit. So hard to pick!

The previous 3 episodes have all been worthy in their own rights. Probably the episode in which he takes Holly though, but damnit ... the fake tape blaming Hank was good ... so was when Walt thought Jesse found his money ....

 

[terrene]

I'm thinking there's a good reason why Todd mentioned they have hundreds of gallons of methylamine in their compound. And that is bolded:

a colourless flammable water-soluble gas, used in the manufacture of herbicides, dyes, and drugs. Formula: CH 3 NH 2

 

[rekameohs]

He's absolutely submitting "Ozymandias" next year, unless "Felina" is thaaaat good.

It might be...!

 

[PAULINK]

Man, I feel like I just heard a spoiler, but i guess that was inevitable

Spoiler

that walt and jesse are going to be in the end? Obviously walt will be there, but this pretty much confirms Jesse lives to the end, right?

 

[metalslimer]

Ozymandias, Granite State, and Confessions are all emmy worthy

 

[Blader]

Just watched it tonight. Robert Forster was a great surprise.

 

[kehs]

e: I'll take it to the spoiler thread instead.

Not at all, all he was saying was that they read the final episode together which they both were in.

Id say that was a given at this point.

Thanks.

Yeah, that's what I heard.

Agreed. I honestly don't look back on season 5.A all that favorably, (not that I by any means disliked it) because it mostly just felt like, well, the first half of a season. I think it'll appear much stronger when viewed as a whole when combined with 5.B.

 

[PAULINK]

Anna showing off her prize, good on her

Also, I read that serious spoiler, and now I am scared.

Yeah, that's what I heard.

My mind must be playing tricks with me.

 

[rekameohs]

Ozymandias, Granite State, and Confessions are all emmy worthy

Best part is that for the Best Drama Emmy, five episodes are submitted.

"Blood Money", "Confessions", "To'hajiilee", "Ozymandias, "Granite State" - just give it to them now

"Felina" doesn't even have to be good! But I have no doubts of its quality whatsoever.

 

[kingocfs]

Conan is #teamwalt?!

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

Conan is #TeamWalter.

 

[kehs]

Conan is #teamwalt?!

That's why he lost the tonight show.

 

[PAULINK]

That Walter jr. comment was gold. Pure gold.

 

[rekameohs]

The fact that Dean and Aaron hate Walt is so perfect for their characters, haha.

 

[kehs]

God damn Vince is dark.

 

[Ionian]

Jesse has nothing to live for anymore. There's no way he survives past the poetic justice of killing Walt. Must top himself afterwards.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Jesse has nothing to live for anymore.

Brock?

 

[Rojo]

Jesse has nothing to live for anymore. There's no way he survives past the poetic justice of killing Walt. Must top himself afterwards.

He has brock. He might find a way to raise him. Or he might just book town go to Alaska like planned or New Zelaland.

 

[Mr. Saturn]

I like this possibility.

But it does nothing to save his wife or give his children his money so ... nope not possible.

Do you think its possible the show will end without Walt's family never getting the money, because that is a distinct possibility.

 

[kehs]

Betsy Brandt is so gorgeous, and I love her name too.

 

[katkombat]

im not crying my eyes are sweating

 

[Rojo]

That peer pressure.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Brock?

He cares for Brock but its not like the court would ever give custody of Brock to Andrea's junkie ex-boyfriend who was also co-founder of a large meth operation and was being tortured by Nazis not long ago.

He'll probably never see Brock again.

 

[Courage]

Betsy is hot but goddamn she can be pretty unfunny.

 

[Lonestar]

I'm thinking there's a good reason why Todd mentioned they have hundreds of gallons of methylamine in their compound. And that is bolded:

Yeah, Meth Labs are notorious for exploding, and so far, I don't think that's happened. Well, except when the purposefully set fire to Gus' Superlab.

 

[Toa TAK]

God damn Vince is dark.

Seriously. But that pressure to see his own creation through to the end is something I can understand.

 

[metalslimer]

This show is probably going to end so darkly

Walt dead/very close to dead
Jesse completely broken with him probably wanting no human contact ever again
Brock alone probably living with grandma

I don't think anyone else in the White family will die, but they will likely end up with less then they started the show with which is the complete opposite of what Walt wanted.

 

[Eaten By A Grue]

I wish they had Gus on the show.
