I don't really like it either. I was thinking Walt would invite Jesse to work with him, but I suppose they don't really need him now. Funny how quickly they're both back in, (though Jesse not so much now).

And yes, best show on TV right now.

--Can't help myself and always watch the 3-minute preview scene for next week's ep. Always a well-chosen scene...

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

Damn, missed last night my dvr messed up. Any place to catch this episode? Do they run them again later in the week? I check amc.com, hulu, and on demand and I think I could only find behind the scenes webisodes.

Any help appreciated.

Didn't want to read too much to avoid spoilers, yeah definitely best show on tv.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

I really like how they have been doing the openings for the past couple episodes.

They are showing things that we haven't seen before, but previously happened. It also seems like they are all connected, that these are things that tie everything that has happened to Walt. I think it might be what leads(or at least closer)Hank to Walt as Heisenberg.

Love this show, cant wait for next weeks ep.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

You might have a point if that was even close to how the show presented these characters.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

Hi, four answers:

(1) As far as the schedule for airing episodes, AMC's website has a detailed and precise schedule. I don't have the post count yet to be allowed to post a link. So, if you go to AMC's website, here is the sequence of submenus that will take you to the schedule:
Home > AMC Originals > Breaking Bad > Where to Watch
When you get there, in the middle of the page you'll see a link called "Click here for the full schedule"

(2) That submenu "Where to Watch" also says that episodes from seasons 1, 2, and 3 can be downloaded [purchase required ?] from iTunes and amazon

(3) While I was watching the latest episode, there was an announcement that a marathon of season 3's five episodes is scheduled for this Friday. I just checked the cable tv program guide, and in my time zone the marathon is scheduled to run from 8pm until 1:10am

(4) Regarding 'On Demand', in my area Cox and AMC are offering the the most recent four episodes of Breaking Bad season 3. I found the episodes by stepping through this sequence of 'On Demand' menus: MyPrimetime > AMC > Breaking Bad

I don't know though if the Cox On Demand feature is available to the customers who don't have a cable box.

Also, the day after the new episode airs I don't know at what time of the day or night that the latest episode is finally available for viewing through On Demand; it was available to me when I checked On Demand tonight.

Another cool thing about the 'On Demand' feature is that when a television show was/is aired in HD, sometimes the episodes are available to watch in 'On Demand' in SD and HD

Can anyone help me remember if Hank knows who Jesse is? I remember that he eventually learned about Walt's fake weed habit, but I don't recall that he knew anything specific about Jesse. But the last shot seemed to indicate Hank recognized him.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

Yeah, Hank brought Jesse in at the beginning of Season 2, talked to his mother, but wasn't able to finger him for being at the scene of the shootout because the Uncle in the wheelchair refused to talk.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

Yep, Hank knows Jesse. He interrogated him last season, but Tio refused to cooperated with the DEA. I think Hank believes he's just an addict and low-level dealer, though. (Seeing Jesse in that picture should help him put the pieces together, though).

EDIT: What Bluetoast said. :lol:

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

:) But while we're on the subject, I'm surprised that, at that point in time, Hank didn't even ask Jesse about Walt. With Walt's disappearance and the supposed pot dealer connection to each other, that would have been something for Hank to follow up on.

Also, I really want to know if they bring up the missing materials from the High School lab. That was a big deal when it was discovered, but hasn't resurfaced.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

Loved this episode - all the actors got some good screen time. Anna Gunn did a really nice job.

Jesse is a loose end right now. Based on what we've seen of Gus, I think he'll try to bring him back into the biz somehow, not just whack him.

Next week...

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

I think Hank's got some serious cognitive dissonance going on. He's known Hank as this mild-mannered, nerdy high school teacher for so long, he just doesn't even suspect him of doing anything wrong. I also think Hank will figure things out and not survive the season.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

we don't know if he "owns" it.. or if it is owned by some offshore corporation that can not be tied back to him.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

Matt, thanks for the thorough answer, that helps a lot and yeah checked amc again last night and saw they are reairing the last episode at 1:30am on Thrus. I guess from what you are saying again on Friday. Thanks for the resources.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

i sort of didn't like the flashback only in the sense that it seemed like they had to use that in order to set up Hank finding the RV. While that may not have been the case, it felt like it to me. Outside of that, yet another awesome episode. I wanna see what Walt can do with that crazy ass lab setup.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

I agree, it did seem like they were folding back the past and inserting little snippets to fit future events. Unless these events were actually planned (or planted) at the writer's table back in season 1 to be filmed later. If that level of planning was involved that'd be good.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

If anything the flashback helped DELAY Hank finding the RV - we originally thought Jesse got it in a LEGIT way and that it could be traced back to him (at least as far as I recall)... I initially thought those developments would keep Hank at bay, but then he got that last lead...

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

And "that last lead" is a silly contrivance that's beneath this show, or has the show always been this conveniently contrived?

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

Well, we could have a discussion about air traffic controllers ....

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

Skyler finally had a scene that lays out her turmoil. It almost played like a direct response to all the "Skyler hate" that Gilligan has been commenting on.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

I thought that too. I gave it a pass though.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Mas" -- 04/18/10
 

Finally caught one of the re-airs, great episode as usual, I liked some of the flashbacks because haven't watched any of the past seasons since they originally aired so always good to see the character arc of the characters and show how excited Walt was to be breaking bad.

Also, I was surprised I didn't know you could have all of the strippers w/ just nip coverage and an F bomb on cable tv, but I guess I must be behind the times.

Looks like Gus knows exactly how to push Walt's buttons loved that just below the surface pride and determination that Cranston showed so well in that scene almost like he was going to break down and cry.
