Dr Mabuse

Walt did the right thing. He protected his family and himself by letting her take herself out.

Exactly, on your first paragraph.

If I were them I'd leave her there and let it be just another overdose.

What an excellent episode.

I think the girl's dad is going to play a role in the future.

Building off of that...

Why all the spoilers on predictions, yo?

Great episode... great season... great show.

I think the spoilers on predictions is a good idea. A prediction leads some to envision possible scenarios they wouldn't have guessed... which would spoil the surprise if one of them was accurate.

One thing I'm pretty sure of when this series ends:

Larry C.

Wowmjust got back from vacation and saw the epi. This show gives me a woody!!! Great Great Great!!!!

Brack

he didn't like Jesse doing meth either, but at least with their product it's pure, and he probably wouldn't overdose as easily as he could on heroin.

SonOfAStu

Why would Walt demand a drug test from Jesse immediately, when Jesse just admitted to having recently tried, and not liked, heroin?

Brack

depends on when he did it. heroin doesn't last very long in the system; a few days the most.

dino88

He didn't actually want a piss test, he was just proving his point.

Deftones

yet another great episode. you could see walt was conflicted there. he even shed a tear. i think he realized having her out of the picture was better for himself and jesse. his desire to protect his family was his strongest instinct there.

CPA-ESQ.

Walt is definitely a Tony Soprano like character - You find yourself rooting for him, and then disgusted at him for his actions - but you want to see him succeed at the end - by "getting out of the business."

Walt wants to get credit for something - he is sick of being a charity case - where everyone around him (his x business partners, brother in law, doctors, etc..) get all the credit for being such great people, or having money, or being supportive.

I though Walt was going to pull a Soprano and when she started to choke - pinch her nose so that she did die.

I think Jessy will move her back to her own apartment along with the drugs, hide the cash, and when the authorities find her - the COD will be that she choked and died in her sleep - they will find heroin in her system - there will be no reason to investigate Jessie.

The girl's father just thinks Jessie is a junkie as well - just another guy his daughter shacked up with - and he will probably kick himself for not taking his daughter away that night and believing her that she would go into rehab tomorrow.

Unfortunately, she never made it until tomorrow - I doubt he will go out and start shooting up who ever came in contact with her. He was fully aware of the downside of the life of a junkie.

Walt is a bad guy and getting worse. Fits quite well with the title.

He let her die because it was better for him. Bring on the finale~

StatMan79

Did anyone else find themselves saying in their heads that Walt probably shouldn't touch anything in the room out of instinct and then Junkie Girl starts to die?

Walt is the direct cause of at least 4 deaths already. Letting the girl die certainly isn't crossing any line that he hasn't already crossed. I was more surprised at his arrogance regarding the money and getting credit for "earning" it.

Plus at least with Meth Jesse was a functioning addict. He could still go a bout his day to day affairs for the most part and get things done. Heroin addicts cant be counted on to do much of anything besides heroin.

I do think its obvious that Walt does care for Jesse's well being though. His conversation at the bar shows how he sees him.

Yup.

Kinda cool.

Also, great review of the latest ep. here: http://sepinwall.blogspot.com/2009/0...-real-way.html

Getting excited about tonight?????

kstublen

Can't believe that's how it ended. It was pretty clear what was going to happen once they showed what Jane's dad did for a living. Still leaves the question of how much debris hit Walt's house and if there would be any reason to look inside.

And for those wondering, the NTSB truck in beginning stands for National Transportation Safety Board.

Enjoyed the Jesse stuff and Saul's associate coming to help him. It's nice to see that Walt really cares about Jesse and went into the crack house or whatever to retrieve him, then took him to rehab.

Got a kick out of the Los Pollos owner visiting the DEA as a community member that donates money to fight drugs. Probably helps him keep up appearances and is a good move, business-wise because it drives up the price of his products. For a moment there you could see he thought Walt was an undercover agent; have to wonder though how this is going to affect their business relationship in the future.

Walt really needs to stop being such an ass; he can't simultaneously keep his cover and take credit for the money. It just doesn't work that way. Gotta love Skyler calling him out for all his lies though. She still pisses me off, but it was a good scene.

Can't wait for next season.

Patman

Ah-ha, laughing at Walt, felt good at the end when Skylar busted him.

MrX

I thought the ending was a bit disappointing given the way they had been building it up. Maybe it would have been better if they didn't give away that it was an airplane collision by the NTSB van. Still a solid finale.

It should be interesting to see what happens with Gus and Walt now that Gus knows about Hank.

Roto

Fortunately I had completely forgotten what NTSB stood for, but the ending was still a bit of a letdown. I hope Walt's living on his own at the start of next season. Skylar bores me to tears. I was hoping he'd get the chance to tell her the truth, but that could be the end of the series.

From this interview with Vince Gilligan:

http://www.nj.com/entertainment/tv/i...lligan_se.html

The titles of all the episodes with the black and white bear scenes:

"Seven Thirty-Seven," "Down," "Over," "ABQ"

Or: Seven Thirty-Seven Down Over ABQ

Mind = blown.

Thrush

I also thought the plane crash bait and switch was lame. If that black and white sequence had just been in this one episode and they hadn't shown the NTSB truck I think it would have worked better. But teasing us with those glimpses all season and then the reveal ends up being essentially nothing was weak sauce.


Yeah, I find her annoying. She's easily my least favorite character.

Theres nothing for them to find. I'm pretty sure Sal has all the money now.
