Breaking Bad...

Me and the wife last night:

"How the hell did Gus survive that blast?! ....oh... Holy fucking shit!!"

I also said, "so that's why the title is Face Off..." :shock:

I don't want to wait til next summer for this show to come back. That was absolutely nuts. Something inside tells me Gus ain't out just yet.

You did see half of his head blown off right? Also, they mentioned during the news cast in the show that three poeple were confirmed dead. If they write Gus back into the show after this damage to the head it would be very hard to swallow.

Aside from the neat special effects, am I'm the only one that thought this was kind of a stupid inclusion?

Did the writers even consider being realistic?

I think the scene would've been much more powerful had they just sat on the explosion for a bit, people running up to the room, and then cut to the next scene.

I thought that was what made the episode, I see Gus come walking out, fixing his tie, and I am thinking oh shit this guy just wont die and next season is gonna be an all out war-then the camera pans to the other side of his whats left of his face and he drops-awesome drama.

but I did notice that the right of his face was farthest from the bomb-that was the goof-it would have been the left side that got blown off. I think.

And Walt will have to answer to the cartel at some point-he just cut off one of their big money makers and an elder was killed. The last season ends with walt blowing up mexico!

I'm pretty sure Gus cut off all ties with the cartel after he murdered a bunch of them.

A little geekish here by me but...he would have turned to his left to spin towards the door of the room to escape. That's how I think the right side of his face was blown off. :ugeek:

Yeah, wasn't that the way that he turned when he realized there was a bomb under the wheelchair??

when gus walked out, it was like "holy shit, yo, this dude is freaking impossibly bad ass..."

i think it is awesome that the writer's were able to get the entire audience to simultaneously go, "WTF."

that's all the show was going for... and who's to say it's not possible to have happened that way?

there are a bunch of directions the show could go next season.

i think the only guarantee is walt v. hank.

walt v. jesse is possible, of course, but walt never revealed that he let jesse's girl die, so... unless walt made a mistake and left evidence of his poisoning the kid, or if walt neglects to throw away the flower and jesse realizes what the flower is, i don't know if we'll get to see walt v. jesse... if the kid had died, however, i would think differently.

can't believe we have to wait another 9ish months...

Jesse has to find out about what Walt has done to him eventually (at least about Brock) and I think Mike is how that happens. Mike is not gonna be happy when he gets back, he already hates Walt, and Jesse has already started to have a similar (but better) relationship with Mike as he does with Walt. My prediction is Walt Vs. Jesse next year, Walt vs Hank in the 6th and final season.

Season five is the last year. AMC is giving them 16 episodes to wrap everything up.

They have said that they may break it up into 2 seasons. I sure hope they don't do that. Getting another 8 episodes and then having to wait for the final 8 would be brutal.
