And can someone remind me of the significance of that scene? I am guessing that book was given to Walt by Gale?

Yes Gale gave him the book didn't u see he signed it G.B.

They replayed the scene from early season 4 regarding the W.W. connection with Gale.

Lost in the final scene was how powerful the Walt/Jesse scene was.

Yea Jesse had to go get his gun just in case and how he was like thank god Walt didn't do me like the 10 guys in jail. (that's what she said)

Xiomera · 09-02-2012, 10:15 PM

I still think the Todd has an uncle who can orchestrate massive prison killings is too a bit too much deus ex machina.

But the prison death montage was executed so superbly, I'm over it.

When Walt said he was out I thought. "How are they going to fill another season? Is someone going to rat out Walt now that he's out?" Now there is no need. But are they going to have to kill Hank?

No, Walt will flee. I think that's pretty clear, based on both circumstance and what we've seen with the flash forward.

It's not like Hank is gonna walk out of that bathroom and arrest Walt at the family barbeque. Hank is probably gonna be paralyzed with inaction for a short period of time as he tries to wrap his mind around what he believes he's just uncovered.

Imagine the embarrassing position he's in — His own brother-in-law is the great Heisenberg. He's asking himself, "How the **** did I not discover this sooner!?"

Uh-mazing.

Wow... now I have to wait another year. This blows.

I like this way of him getting caught. Like you said, most get caught through the small stuff, not the big stuff. If you think about it, it does not make sense for Walt to keep that book with that quotation publicly assessable, knowing that Hank is over all the time, considering he knew what Hank had found. But at the same time, given Walt's ego, its is reasonable to think he may have overlooked that aspect and kept the tribute to him.

I at first was having to think back as to who was being talked about during that scene. I was at first thinking it was from around season two until I remembered Gale.

Meh, I can see it, but at the same time, most cartels have ways of pulling off just that. Although Walt doesn't operate a cartel himself, he is pretty close to it. Outside of the Mexicans, no one in the show has really had criminal connections. Mike did, but they were of more the professional variant. You could I guess classify Todd's connections as being somewhat professional, but there is obviously something completely different about them compared to Mike's guys. For a show centered around extremely high level meth operations, I can accept the notion of mass prison assassinations.

The only questionable thing in this episode was the introduction of the Czech connect. Hopefully this stays in the background to a certain degree, although I know the very fact that it was introduced means it will play a role down the line. I just think making the Czech distribution a main part of the show is too extravagant and far out there.

Xiomera · 09-02-2012, 10:33 PM

I almost forgot about the Czech thing in light of everything that followed. But perhaps it won't be all that important. I'm not sure how much time we're supposed to believe passed during that long montage, but I'm guessing it was several months.

Three months. Marie said it when talking to Skyler, WOULD YOU ******* PAY ATTENTION DANIEL JESUS ******* CHRIST.

3 months. Marie mentioned to skylar in the scene where they were talking that they had had the kids for 3 months.

Bert Macklin · 09-02-2012, 10:39 PM

If Walt was smart he'd get on the first plane to the Czech Republic.

Nalej · 09-02-2012, 10:40 PM

lol I was about to say... "Didn't they say it was three months?" lol

Nalej · 09-02-2012, 10:40 PM

What if Walt escapes to Czech and continues his operation there and THAT'S HOW THE SERIES ENDS?!

SubNoize · 09-02-2012, 10:46 PM

what i don't get is how Walt thought that he could just be "out", he just negotiated a deal with a major meth distributor and they paid him 5 Million dollars as part of that deal. To just turn around and be out, would piss them off quite a bit.

vidae · 09-02-2012, 10:47 PM

I was a little let down with that reveal for Hank. So he tracks this guy, gets nowhere, and then finds a book and realizes it all? Really?

I still loved the episode, I just didn't like that little bit. Seemed way too easy for a show that has a way of telling a larger tale and making it seem flawless. It almost felt like a cop out of sorts, an easy way to continue the story when they've had no problems thinking of super creative ways to do it in the past. I dunno.

The Alex · 09-02-2012, 10:51 PM

I'm gonna go freeze myself in the mountains like Cartman did for the Wii. Someone come and thaw me when the new season premieres.

Again, people get found out because of stupid mistakes. That's all it takes, some grand epic realization would have been too dishonest.

And I don't disagree, and I'm with you on that point, but for THIS show, with THIS writing staff, THAT seemed like the easy way to go. They've taken the smallest and seemingly most insignificant detail and tied up so well, better than any other show I've ever seen, and instead of crafting something larger, a different way to have this revealed to Hank.. it's "oh, I have to take a ****, and oh, I don't want to read Good Housekeeping"

Like I said I loved the episode, and the scene in the jail (with the music and that entire thing) is probably one of my favorite ever, but that part just irked me.

Nalej · 09-02-2012, 10:58 PM

I thought Walt lied about getting out... simply to put Skylar at ease. I never believed it for a second.

How exactly else should Hank be able to stumble upon this random book? Is it any more meaningful if he randomly found it on say a bookshelf or coffee table?

Would be a hard thing to coverup. She is going to suspect him every time he leaves the house alone, and he is going to have to do that a lot if he stays in the business.

Nalej · 09-02-2012, 11:07 PM

She works at the car wash. Maybe he works his schedule on a more 9-5 schedule too? Not exactly sure but I definitely don't think he's "out" at all.
