While we're keeping a tally, how much did Walt have to pay for the gun without the serial number earlier this season?

Also food expenses...we saw him waste a whole family meal by throwing a pizza on the roof. :)

What are the chances we'll see Badger and Skinny Pete before the end of the season? I miss those guys.

skymirror on reddit has a post about the money that seems to make sense-
http://www.reddit.com/r/breakingbad/...w/money_count/


He split the $3 million deal with Jesse -- $1.5 million each. The deal was changed in "Kafkaesque" to $15 million for the year, open-ended, and that was was also split with Jesse -- $7.5 million each, minus expenses. Walt brings in $274,000 every two weeks (Walt tells Skyler this in "Problem Dog").

Walt only worked for Gus in the superlab for about two months, I think, or maybe two months and one week or two weeks. I'm working with this timeline, plus Jesse's "A couple of weeks back, I killed a dog" statement in "Problem Dog," and I'm only guessing how much time passed between "Problem Dog" and "Crawl Space," so someone correct me if they have a better estimate. BB's timeline can be hard to keep straight. Let's say he completed at least eight or ten weeks of work. That works out to $1.096 million or $1.37 million. Add that to the approximately $500,000 Walt still had from the initial thirty-eight pound/$1.2 million deal with Gus (he had to give Saul a cut, and he split the money with Jesse -- Jane tried to blackmail Walt, Walt delivered Jesse's half of the money, Jane died, Saul held the money for Jesse while he was in rehab, and when Jesse left rehab he used $400,000 to buy his aunt's renovated house from under his parents), and you have about $1.596 million or $1.87 million.

Let's suppose that he made at least $2 million. The $800,000 car wash ate up a good chunk of that. Ted's $617,000 ate up quite a bit too. Together that's $1.417 million. Then we have Jr.'s Challenger, paying for the destruction of the Challenger, Walt's condo, the .38 snub with the serial numbers filed off, Jr.'s PT Cruiser, Walt's medical bills, Hank's rehab bills, paying Saul to perform various jobs, etc.

But that would involve Gus falling for virtually the same trap that he set up the previous day.

Nah not really at that point why would Gus suspect Jesse from anything after Jesse saved him minutes before? Just for the remark? I don't think so.

Jesse could have ended the whole show by driving somewhere remote and waiting for both of them to die. I mean its obviously not hard to get out of Mexico just ask Texas and Arizona.

Was Bill Burr on previously as one of Saul's thugs? He's a funny guy. :)

This episode was crazy. Scylla really messed up. I understand her motivation, but still. Jesse pushing Walt around was kind of intense. Gus is a vengeful bastard, isn't he. I'm really excited for the last two episodes. Too bad I won't get to watch them until after they've both aired. :(

He was the EPA guy for the car wash sale.

The oranges are symbolic. Didn't you see The Godfather?

Sorry, no, I haven't. I think Ted does have some kids from when he was married. Maybe they like oranges.

For whoever asked about the shot with the clouds moving, I'm listening to the official podcast and Vince GIlligan is explaining it. It sounds like everything with the clouds was actually shot in camera. The sun went in and then out of the clouds. They edited out about a minute of it and sped some of it up. They did have to do some digital manipulation to make the edit more seemless, but it sounds like most of it was real shot footage.

Just finished watching this episode. Will watch the final two tonight.

Damn, what an amazing show. Great stuff.

I've been avoiding all articles on the show, because I don't want any spoilers. My prediction is that Gus dies by the end of the season, unfortunately. Yeah, really going out on a limb there.

Maybe the final season is all about Hank's pursuit of Heisenberg. Then we could really see how far Walt is willing to go to protect his family.

Please do not confirm or deny!

I've watched all four seasons for the first time over the last 6-7 weeks, and after tonight I'm going to have to wait until summer for S5! :grunt:

Yeah, I rewatched BB a few weeks ago, and this one really stands out as one of the best episodes of the series. The ending is just so intense and well done.

For Hank not to suspect Walt at this point makes him a dolt, imo. At this point in the series (S4, episode 11):
1) Walt's occupation is chemistry teacher,
2) There's chemistry equipment missing from his school supply room, and Walt's one of the few with a key.
3) Walt's got a gambling "problem" resulting in him winning huge amounts of cash.
4) Someone close to Hank had to know his personal cell phone number in order to place the call he receives at the junk yard.
5) In a drunken state, Walt brags about how Gale was not smart enough to be the "Heisenberg" Hank was looking to catch.

I know there are more "coincidences". Hank is not exactly Columbo if you ask me.

Yeah, but Walt is hiding in plain sight. That's hard to spot.

Hank has him pegged as this milquetoast high school teacher. It's just not conceivable (at least to this point) to Hank that Walt can be capable of the things he's doing.

Really one of the most riveting hours of television I've ever seen. That ending exuded pure impending doom. Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end...

Totally! Not just doom, but insanity. Walter looked like he was fucking losing his marbles. Love this show. It's hard to conceive how Gilligan and Co. could ramp up the suspense any higher, but I'm riveted to find out how and will be catching up on Amazon VOD to find out.

This whole show is a cautionary tale. "This is why it's not a good idea to peddle drugs boys and girls. Your wife will find a fuck buddy out of revenge when she hears the news and give him all of your "drop out of society" money, just before the shit hits the fan, to save her worthless ass.

I think the final scene from this episode is my favorite from the series.

It's gotta rank up there as one of the best episodes of the series..if not the best.

I just started getting into Breaking Bad and have ripped through the first 4 seasons in about two weeks. It's a phenomenal show. But I have to say, the last third or so of this episode may well be the best constructed and executed segment of TV I've ever seen in my life. Absolutely stunning and slightly surreal it's so good.
