Breaking Bad Season 5 **Contains Spoilers**

dcfaithful

I was dying to know what was going through Skyler's mind at the end of last night's episode. Couldn't tell whether she was relaxing with Walt's touch and words, or if she was becoming even more tense and frightened.

I love the character development of Walt in particular. At the beginning of the show, he was timid, naive, and easily scared. Now he's weathered, indifferent, and fearless (possibly because he has to be like he said for his reasoning of not just walking away from it all).

It's gotta be only a matter of time until Hank catches Heisenberg. Hank is a sharp guy, especially in his profession. I kind of feel that the intro to Episode 1 of this season may have been a glimpse of what is to come later; Walter on the run (?). That's what I gathered from that short clip. The intros in the past have generally consisted of material that is to come later int ime and we're just in for the ride to connect the pieces together.

I loved Jesse's Crystal Ship reference.
Now that Mike is officially on board, I can't wait to get the meth ball rolling again..the next episode should be really good!

Q: As the show progresses, we start seeing more Heisenberg and less Walter White. If we think of these two as individuals, which one do you enjoy playing the most? -- Crabjock

A: I can't differentiate between the two, he's too close to me. He is one in the same -- you can't cut one out, because the other would die. One's the muscle, one's the brain -- and it's fun to play this guy who's become this badass.

half muscle, half brain..Heis..it's just like your mustache

The last scene of episode 2 was creepy as hell.

Yes it was. I expected it to end with Walter forcing himself on Skyler..I'm still not convinced that didn't happen after the episode ended...and yikes..his face while washing the dishes..scary!

The scene with Hank and Mike was great stuff! This season is off to a hell of a start!

so, thinking more about whats happened...
walt may have caused more problems with the magnet trick
they likely would not have found gus' cayman island bank account info behind that picture had it not fallen and broken. that account info is what lead them to all the employees... and so hank must know about walt at this point... why would gus have paid walt differently than his other employees?

and im not really buying that the DEA wouldnt have capable people on hand to get thru the encrypted code on gus' laptop... but if thats what they're going with, it would have been a dead end there and the magnet trick pointless regardless.

Obviously Walt caused more problems with the magnet thing. But Walt wasn't on the los pollos hermanos payroll so Hank doesn't know about Walt's involvement....yet. Walt was paid in cash.

Like Indifference said, Walt was paid in cash. A lot harder to trace back to someone. I do think that chick is going to be trouble though. She really tried to act like a bad guy, but you could clearly see she wasn't.
Really, she's the only connection between the corporate cover-up and Walt....through Mike.

I think the encryption issue was more of a "well, it's broken anyways..."

Was anyone else surprised when Mike revealed he was an ex-cop?

I think Hank was just saying that to feel better about losing the data from the magnet. At that point, it seemed like he was the only one who had tried to check in there, not the data forensic experts.

Nope, but I do wonder what he did in Philly.

i didnt pick up on that til later. I just thought they were talking, then read some of what people were saying on here.

And im not surprised mike revealed he was an excop because he didnt reveal it. Hank and Gomez revealed it. Mike knows they know. And I think Mike knows they know he was gus frings go to guy and hitman. But I also think he knows they cant do a think about it.

More surprising to me was the demeaner of mike during the interrogation. He made no attempt to hide anything. Thus what I was suggesting, he knows that they know. It was almost like a dance, or a game, that scene for all 3 parties. Mike was calm and cool as all hell.

do you all think hong had more on his mind than was letting on? That scene when he was talking with mike in that building, and mike asked him not to smoke, seemed like hong wanted to say more to mike but was scared. This could be evidenced by the odd shot of hong stopping to look back at mike as mike walked on down the hall.

and as for what skyler feels about her husband i think she clearly is scared of him. The famous I am the One who Knocks speech from last year, seems to have been a turning point, you could tell she was scared of him then. And she said the same in episode 1. Her staying in bed, and not eating breakfast with the family in episode 2, and then that last scene where she wouldnt even look or talk to him I think are clearly read as she is terrified of him.

No way...Mike seems like more of an Eagles or Three Dog Night fan to me.

Wasn't that already reviled in the past?

Anyone notice that the Hungry Hungry Hippos game had two yellow hippos? I thought this was strange. Not sure if it meant anything or not.
