I started watching the show about two and a half weeks ago, and I'm now caught up and can watch live! :banana:

Wow!

"I tell ya, this next episode (entitled “Ozymandias”), I think for my money, is the best episode we ever had had or ever will have."
-Vince Gilligan



Here's the great Ozymandias trailer from the summer:

I was already really excited for this one, but now...damn!

I could see Gomez dying, but not Hank. That said, I voted neither.

My guess is Walt lets Todd's crew know about the money buried there and offers that up for their lives.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

It will be fucking ridiculous if Hank doesn't die.

Full quote from VG.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

I agree, it kind of gives me the same kind of vibes I got when people were saying that just maybe Jesse really didn't shoot Gale at the end of Season 3. But you never know.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

omg i am way too excited for this episode

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

The more I think about it, I'm not sure Gomez's death is necessary. If he survives wounded that could really move the story forward.

ETA: The poem makes me think Hank dies and Walt "dies", likely in a vehicle explosion so violent it leaves hard to identify DNA level remains.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

Does anyone think that maybe...

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

The problem there is that your theory (which I won't get into in any detail) would leave the Todd and Lydia scene from last episode as a red herring.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

Another thought on the title of the episode, from Wikipedia:

"Ramesses II did become the legendary figure he so desperately wanted to be, but this was not enough to protect Egypt. New enemies were attacking the empire, which also suffered internal problems and could not last indefinitely. Less than 150 years after Ramesses died the Egyptian empire fell and the New Kingdom came to an end."

Interesting?

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

I think Gomez is likely to die, he seems like a fairly disposable character and I think at least one of the two (between Hank and Gomez) will bite the dust. As far as Vince Gilligan saying this might be the finest hour they've done, I'm fucking excited for this episode. That says a lot coming from him, especially given the quality of the episodes is usually fantastic to begin with.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

My guess is they both go down.

Walter goes into remorse mode for getting a member of the family killed that he decides to undo what he started.

The fast forwards scene of the big ass gun in the trunk will be used to take out Jack, Todd and the gang to stop the Meth lab.

Then the ricen he recovered from the electrical outlet he will use on himself to take his own life as penance for what he has done.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

Brock is so dead.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

At first I thought both, but after reading an interview with the director of last weeks episode and reflecting on it a little more, I'm not so sure.

Voted Gomez.

jeffkjoe that need to go in spoiler tags. It crosses the line between speculation and spoiler.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

Definitely need to spoiler tag that before someone loses their shit.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

No shit. Seriously people it's an asshole move to post anything that's potentially a spoiler before an episode airs.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

Good point.

I thought it was speculation, but anyway, I deleted it just to be on the safe side.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

Gomey is a goner. No doubt.

Hank? Ehhh, don't see it happening. If it does, it'll be right away for early shock value, and for a major surprise. Otherwise, they would've faded to credits last week right after he took one in the head.

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

D'oh, now i'm curious what people were worried about!

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

I'm sure you didn't post that intentionally trying to spoil anything, but I wasn't expecting it reading through the thread. I had never thought to look at that angle of it for potential spoilers. Still sucks, though. :lol:

Re: Breaking Bad -- "Ozymandias" -- 9/15/13
 

It was potentially-spoiler-i-fic for the fate of one of the characters for tonight's episode.

But fear not - in 6 hours, the truth will have been revealed in tonight's episode!
