This episode didn't get me as amped up as the previous ones.

I really like the music/sounds they play when Jesse gets pissed.

Did RJ Mitte drop a major spoiler about his character on Talking Bad tonight? Maybe I didn't hear it right, but the host quickly came back saying oh no you shouldn't say that. Holy crap if it is true.

Good episode, but it didn't really move the story forward much. They spent a good chunk of time on Walt and the gasoline carpet. I felt a bit cheated that we didn't get to see more of Jesse's confession. When did Hank tell his partner about Walt?

I wonder about the title of next episode. I mean, I googled the name, that's why I'm wondering about it.

I'm putting the title of next week episode in spoilers, you can google the name, check Wikipedia, nothing that will spoil the show.

But why should he? Hank pointed out that Jesse is a murderer, and he's right.

As much as Jesse is more likeable than Walt, he's still not a great person - he's just more redeemable.

This shit is getting extra juicy. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Solid episode tonight. Really sets the stage for the final stretch (or so we're led to assume).

I thought the episode was great personally. Loved the reveal mid-episode that Jesse didn't go through with burning down the White's home due to Hank interfering. Hank is kind of a slimeball too with his approach to taking down Walt and especially in this episode where he basically admitted he doesn't give a rat's ass about Jesse and whether he lives or dies despite him basically being the one chance to save his ass. Granted I suppose he's desperate to try and save his reputation and career but still.

I really wonder what it is that Jesse has up his sleeve and what exactly he means by hitting him in his real home. The big things he can do to damage Walt are by hitting his pride or his family in my opinion. I think family is out of the question because despite how much he doesn't like Walt I don't think he has it in him to hurt Walt Jr. or Holly which would also leave out doing anything to harm Walt or Skyler. I could be wrong but I dunno if he'd hit that hard. Unless he tries to say that he was Heisenberg and the master behind the meth cooks all this time and goes for Walt's pride/ego by taking the credit. Despite not being involved anymore I don't think Walt would let that slide.

Also like how Walt Jr. basically knows that Walt is full of shit with his stories and he's one of the only characters on the show I feel truly sorry for as it's going to break him to know that his dad is a meth cook/murderer and his mom has been acting as an accomplice to work against his aunt and uncle. It does seem to me that Jr. and Holly are the only shreds of humanity that Walt has where he's not faking entirely. Yes he lies to Walt Jr. and has kept him in the dark but I think Walt does care about his kids no matter how bad he's turned.

Makes perfect sense to me. Jesse "confesses" to Hank that he was behind the blue meth and was Heisenberg all along. Word gets out and Walt finds out about this and obviously isn't going to let him take the credit for everything as it would be the ultimate bruise to his ego. Walt obviously can't take this lying down and as we've seen in the past goes out of his way to get himself back into trouble when it comes to his ego and maybe gets involved in another cook to attempt to show that he's still out there.

Don't leave me hanging junkie!

Care to put what you think you heard in a spoiler? I'm curious as heck.

Jeremy517

The lab, I'm guessing.

Raul3

No way they would allow a major spoiler to slip like that. I'm sure they recorded most episodes of Talking Bad a long time ago.

Mike86

It's live isn't it? Still though that's a major spoiler and no way he would have let that slip I'm sure.

I know I have it spoilerized and I've got no idea if it's even true but fair warning to not click if you don't want to know.

Talking Bad is live, not on tape.

Looks like I was right about Hank trusting in Gomie. Glad to see it, but that conversation would have been great to see.

Crocker Jarmen

Wow, this was an awesome episode.

I really like Marie, and the comic tone she brings to each scene she is in. I enjoyed seeing her in with her shrink. I was reminded of Peter Bogdonovich's psychiatrist on The Sopranos (I kept waiting for Marie's shrink to take a drink from a ridiculously, oversized and decorated water bottle).

I know Jesse was scared shitless, but he must know Mr. White wasn't going to have him killed by a big, psycho looking guy dressed in black leather, standing just a few feet away from him.

I in no way hold it against Hank he doesn't care if Jesse is murdered or not. All the terrible things he's done, no one else in this thread would either.

I too wished to hear more of Jesse's confession. Are we to assume he told Hank EVERYTHING? That must have been one marathon of a confession. Also would liked to have seen the scene where Hank takes his partner into his confidence.

Now that everything looks like its turned a corner for Hank, I'm convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt he is doomed doomed doomed.

dvdjunkie32

Haha sure

Mike86

Regardless of what he's done I still think it's kind of a cold thing on Hank's part to say about Jesse. He's supposed to be the better man supposedly yet all he cares about is clearing his name and catching Walt at any cost. He should care about putting Jesse away for a while and also try and protect him as well as he can as he could serve as a possible witness against Walt later.

bluetoast

Yeah his bottles were always pretty hilarious.

chuckd21

Catching a murderer and a massive drug kingpin is kind of a big deal.

Mike86

Well no shit. Still though Jesse is the only witness that Hank has that can back up his story. It seems like it's in his best interest to try and keep Jesse around to add credibility to his story when the questioning goes on later. Especially now that Walt's trying to frame him. Plus I don't work with law enforcement but I kind of doubt that they like to just have a person they're depending on to get evidence be killed if it can be avoided. Hank seemed to not really give a shit which to me seemed a bit foolish.

DJariya

Quiet episode. But good as usual.

Don't have many thoughts about it other than I liked seeing the non-linear storytelling. Thought it was cool having the episode start with the aftermath of Jesse's rampage from Walt's perspective. Then later in the episode we got to see it from Jesse's perspective.

at Jesse freaking out during his meeting with Walt and thinking the bald guy was Walt's backup.

Should be an interesting last 4 episodes.

EW.com thought this episode sucked.

bluetoast

Damn that's less of a review than it is a summary.

Kal Varnsen

Did anyone watch the replay of Talking Bad? Did they take out Flynn's spoiler? Don't think I want to watch if its a big spoiler.

Kal Varnsen

AV Club gave it an A. http://www.avclub.com/articles/rabid-dog,101876/
