My thoughts:

Jesse and Mike....I like this combination, even though neither Mike nor Jesse (nor we) fully understand what is going on....but both are learning from each other. And I agree with Skyllenhaal at least when it comes to Walt's car purchase, but not when it comes to his motivations, actions from that scene at the beginning.

Unfortunately Walt Jr. is going to be caught in the middle and it is going to suck for him. Will Walt own up to any of the responsibility and defend Sky Hill Zone? And yeah despite Walt knowing all about Chemistry....there are two things (at least) he might want to work at....the first thing is, when talking to someone about their situation, don't say "This is all about me!" Next is being smart about certain situations: If Jesse were alone by himself, he would have put on his headphones and got to work. That was just an idiotic decision on Walt's part to bring the three women in. I even thought that due to Walt being such a dick earlier, that he knew they would be killed, and that's why he was smiling at the camera and showing how he handled the problem. Glad to know he isn't THAT far off the deep end just yet.

Hey maybe he can hire a social skills coach or something, but then Skynatown will count it as an unnecessary expense.

I already said I think the show will end with Walt being the only one left alive or not in prison, back at the car wash and having millions.

Gus is trying to belittle Walt and show him who's boss. Walt may be looking stupid now but I think he's gonna screw Gus and then he will be "The one that knocks"

By the way how's a guy like Walt end up with a decent looking gal like Skeye****?

Really didn't think that demeanor was that bitchy this episode. Definitely tamed down from other episodes.

I don't think his goal would ever be to have Jesse take over the cook. I see this as a way for Gus to keep a potential liability close to his chest until he can find a replacement for Walt, at which point he can expire both of them.

It is possible Gus actually sees something in Jesse, like he said. Jesse did kill an 'innocent' man in cold blood out of loyalty to Walt. I see Gus as a man who respects loyalty in his underlings. Gus might want to keep him around with Mike.

Walt is a fucking idiot though. With all the shit that's happened to him this season, why is he acting like a pissy bitch all the time? Bringing those maids down and showing it off for the camera was idiotic. Not only did he obviously endanger their lives, bringing them to a secret meth lab, but he did it just to piss off Gus. Walt used to be naive, but at least he was cautious. Now he lacks naivety, but is completely reckless.

There's simply no topping this...

It took me a few seconds for me to figure out why I was looking at Lars Ulrich

Me too. I thought it was in reference to the previous poster calling her Skye ****.

Good stuff. (and Lars definitely is a ****).

Ha! Yeah it can actually work both ways.

Oooh his name is Lars.

brilliant fucking show. i was absolutely riveted the past couple weeks with every word, gesture, nuance this show has to offer. best drama imo.

Second(ed)

It's been a bit slow for me but not complaining at all. The hour goes by so quickly that it feels like a half hour show. Which is a good thing.

Holy fuck our face hurts from laughing! I had to tell someone the whole history of this thread than go to that post to show it. Fucking awesome

Kudos to you rocket

Just an ok episode for me. I loved the scene with Walt saying he is the one who knocks, etc... Furthermore, I've been saying it since I started watching this show that I absolutely cannot stand Skylard. Where'd Ted Benecke go, did she eat him? It looks like she has put on about 40 lbs. this season.

The awesomeness of this is overwhelming.

I look forward to the alternate spellings as much as each episode.
Skynatown

Ayway my favorite scene in this series so far was walt's speech to Skyexitor saying he is the one who knocks, that was brilliant.

Not only that but Skylactate was trying to leave but couldn't. I wonder what was keeping her from leaving? I suppose it must be her son.

Fucking cripple.

Maybe $$$$$$..... sooner or later you would think they'd wanna start spending money. Imagine having to drive the piece of shit Walt, Jessie and Skyhole drive but you have millions. They're gonna have to open a crapload more car washes to justify any splurge in spending, example Walt Jr's car.

On the other hand she's really concerned about getting caught and their safety. The way the last episode ended it makes you believe she came back to make sure Walt doesn't fuck up. Same example Walt Jr's car.
