This show, you guys. I agree that the heist is a bit far fetched, but I think this show earns these moments. This show is grounded in reality, but also doesn't shy away from the more far-fetched elements. This show isn't trying to be The Wire.
Skylar is totally justified in feeling the way she does. Walter is a total black hat now. He's completely lost his way, and is addicted to his new purpose in life. Sure, he started this life to provide for his family, but that doesn't really seem like the purpose of his exploits anymore. That said, I still find Skylar unlikeable, just because she isn't a fun character to follow. To make a ridiculous analogy, she's like GI Joe, where Walter and crew are like Cobra. Cobra was always more interesting.

Except on The Wire they knew who they were tapping, and actively monitored them. Here, they're still shooting in the dark as of now.

The GIF is wrong. They clap after the successful heist then they get all quiet when they turn and see the boy. Todd shoots him as Jesse screams and clutches his head. The boy falls and we see a close-up of the spider in the jar. CUT TO: credits.

If Hank knew, we would all know that he knew. The guy would be flipping the fuck out if Pinkmen flipped, and told him all about Walt in the process.

Yeah, no law enforcement outfit would (or could) include a kid in their operation like that, barring some incredibly extreme circumstances.

Matt,
Seriously, quotes like the above are why they created SPOILER tags. Please use them if you have credible insight to future episodes.

Too funny!
TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- A man accused of violating his probation in a methamphetamine manufacturing case in Tuscaloosa County has hit the top of the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office most wanted list.
And he shares a name with a famous fictional meth cook -- Walter White of AMC's award-winning drama series "Breaking Bad."
Walter Eddy White, 55, was on probation in Tuscaloosa County beginning in 2010 after being arrested in 2008 on charges of trafficking methamphetamine, unlawful manufacturing of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of precursor materials, according to court documents.
He violated his probation in January 2012 after being arrested on the same charges in Bibb County. Tuscaloosa County Circuit Judge Brad Almond ordered a writ to be issued in the case on Aug. 9 after White missed a July court appearance, according to court documents.
White's last known address is in the 22000 block of Eastern Valley Road in McCalla.
Anyone with information about White can contact the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office at 205-752-0616.

Bump.
I'm rewatching the series, and I just got to Peakaboo (s. 2). The opening scene absolutely blew my mind with how it parallels this one.
I googled it, and found this: http://seriable.com/breaking-bad-5-0...terthoughts/2/

and yes, it somehow makes me appreciate this show even more (didn't think that were possible).
