    I actually don't think there are any "good guys" other than Jr and Marie. By law Hank is a very "good guy", maybe even a hero, but I beg to differ. His job is to keep drugs off the streets, however Gomez would tell him they weren't seeing any "blue sky" on the streets, something that should make him happy but instead he would be upset. And when Gomez would tell him that it was back on the streets he would get happy. It's never about doing the right thing or keeping people from ODing it's just about playing his game with Walt. That's all it is to him, a game, which in my opinion is just as bad as being a criminal.

    Completely disagree. The only reason that Hank seemed "happy" when he found out the blue stuff was back on the streets is because he knew deep down that Gale wasn't Heisenberg even though most of the evidence pointed in that direction. It was never a game with Hank...it was about taking down Heisenberg.

    I don't think that was necessarily the case with Hank. He was upset when blue went away because he believed the guy who made it had drifted away and was still free, when Hank wanted to lock the guy up. Not because of ego (at least not then), but because Hank wanted to the bad guy to go to jail for breaking the law. He was happy when the meth returned because that meant he was a) right about the guy still being out there, and b) he could hopefully find a lead and bust the guy.

    Now? Yeah, there's a bit of ego to it in Hank wanting to bust Walt. But I don't think it's Hank playing a game, though.

    I was a little confused as to how Jesse, realizing Huell lifted his weed, had put it all together that Walt was to blame in the end.
    After all, it wasnt the ricin that poisoned Brock.

    I know that it points to Saul, who in turn, works for Walt.


    The end of this article breaks it down....

    That's actually a pretty good summary. I had some trouble remembering how he connected the dots.

    Yeah, that explained it really well. Sepinwall is great...he has an intense review like that for every episode.

    I wasn't completely sure how I felt after watching "Confessions" - meaning which way in my head I think this story flows with 5 episodes left...here is what I walked away with after watching it a 3rd time...
    Holy Cow. Has there EVER been a point in this series where you honestly have no clue how it will play out, including characters fates??? Truth be told, I thought Jesse and Hank wouldn't be alive nor Skyler. I definitely thought Lydia would be dead by now...Now all I have are questions, like...
    When does Lydia get the Chechnyans involved? Are they on their way to ABQ? Are Walts kids and Skyler going to be murdered in a crossfire of people trying to get Walt? Todd and his uncles? Jesse? What happens to Hank? Does Marie go over Hank directly to Gomez and the DEA guys to "save" Hank? Badger and Skinny? What are they willing to do, how far will they go for Jesse? Saul? Who is he ultimately going to be loyal to? Who ingests the ricin?
    Amazing there is 5 hrs left of this incredible story and soooo many questions.
    One thing is for sure, the play out will be amazing.
    Is it Sunday yet????

    It is crazy that I literally have had zero idea what to expect from each of these 3 episodes so far. I cannot even imagine where these last 5 hours are going. So many questions to be answered.

    I remember reading in an interview that the last 2 episodes both go 8-9 minutes long.

    I thought I figured it all out once, and then I forgot about 5 or 6 characters. I'm totally lost as to what will happen!

    Why would Walt care what happened to Declyn if Walt is truly out of the picture? Why would Todd call to tell him?

    Why damn it, why? :crazy:

    Because Todd still sees Walt as his master and seeks his approval.
