Breaking Bad

^That's a Season 4 spoiler by the way, don't read it till you catch up.

I watched all the seasons available on Netflix (four)in less than two days.

This show is fucking amazing.

Finally got around to watching "Madrigal." So...

1) Have we seen Lydia before? If yes, who is she? If not, how do you think she's connected to the Fring operation?

2) Do you guys think there is any significance to Walter Jr.'s uneaten breakfast, or was it just a random family moment?

ETA: Yes. And might I say, that's a mighty impressive Archive Binge.

I thought it was Skylar's breakfast. As in Walt had set it up for her but she still hadn't gotten out of bed.

Walt Jr LOVES his breakfast he'd never give it up!

Yeah, it was Skylar's.

Oh, whoops. That makes sense!

Skylar tells Marie what viewers of the past seasons have always wanted to tell her.

Yay ominous reference to Victor AKA the guy who got the boxcutter treatment

The cooking today had strong season 2 vibes (my favourite season) and I love the team up between Walt and Jesse even though it's clear the whole thing is just setting up towards something horrible.

But man Walt you are messing with things you don't even understand! That final part of the episode had me cringing so bad with just how reckless he's getting.

Jesus. Walt's just evil now.

I mean, he's done worse individual acts I'm sure. But I spent most of this episode shuddering. He's finally gone and fulfilled the promise of the title.

I felt sorry for Marie. Then I felt sorry for Skylar. Walt threw her under a fucking bus.

I think the scene where they're watching Scarface is foreshadowing. Especially considering Walt's purchase in the opening scene of this season.

Different topic: seems legit

Season 3: Jesse, there's a fly is in the lab. Shut. Down. EVERYTHING.

Season 5: From now on, we will cook exclusively inside of houses that are infested with insects.

He's in a tent this time around with the equipment being constructed within that tent and sealed off from the outside environment. That should help with the purity.

That's going to leave evidence at every house they visit.

I missed the first fifteen minutes of the new one. Someone fill me in.

Otherwise, DAMN Walter. Just DAMN.

That last half hour was horrifying.

Walt bought more cars. Hank visited that nervous lady.

None of Skylar's plans involve narcing Walt to the authorities?

No because it effectively ruins her childrens' lives and possibly Hank's career as well. Saul already explained this in early season 3.

That plan destroys any chance at a normal life.

What's your next move Led Walrus?

I was only spitballing ideas, no need to get so confrontational.

Ridiculous! Apply yourself!

I'm imitating Walt for the record...

Also, Walt Jr must've internally lost his shit after Skyler messed with his breakfast.

So I'm going to guess that Walt and Skylar's falling out leads to Skylar leaving with the kids, which makes Walt go out looking for them, possibly with somebody attempting to kill him along the way, as seen in the 2010 scene at the beginning of the season.

Jesus Christ, Cat from Lip Service (the Madrigal lady) is terrifying on this. And totally, completely evil. The way she sold that guy out? Harsh. Screaming into a pillow? Hilarious.

She's going to be the undoing of them. Or she's going to suddenly be awesome.

Or she'll kill Skylar. (Poor Skylar).

Yeah, she's probably going to be the one who fucks everything up. I wish they hadn't created a new character for that to happen.

Lydia is only as dangerous as Mike's propensity for half measures permits. Otherwise she's so nutty and inept that she makes pre-haircut Walt look like Professor Moriarty.
