solo breakfast could mean nothing (he was there on business)(plus season one bday breakfast was alone right? walt's exactly the type of fuck to be miserable on his bday). so do ppl think we'll see that scene/reach that state of affairs by this end of this year's block of episodes or is that a glimpse of the endgame?

anyway I'm not making any prognostication here, it could be total misdirection on gilligan's part, but the S5 cold open has more subtext than just "walt spends weird bday bfast alone"

way I read it, it's a flashforward a year, walt's spent some time hiding out in NH, now he's back in town and is planning to settle some score w/ a v big gun
breakfast + the callback to E1S1/happier times indicates his family is somehow involved, mainly due to their absence

yeah if i didn't already see that this guy's gonna get humbled before he possibly buys it i would've been hoping for mike to blow his arrogant head off even more tonight.
― balls, Monday, 16 July 2012 04:41 (eleven years ago) link
again, could be total misdirection on gilligan's part, for all I know walt jr is sucking down lobster rolls back in NH while heisenberg is just planning to big-dick his way into some high noon action

i guess he could meet some new people
btw recording those videos was a v dumb move for someone as careful as gus, or maybe he didnt actually record them or maybe they were encrypted or w/e, but generally dont record yr crimes is a good rule of thumb
― lag∞n, Monday, 16 July 2012 04:52 (eleven years ago) link
wild guesses here but if it turns out I'm right buy me a cola or something: walt eventually gets caught by hank, he rolls over and helps them get the guys behind gus, DEA gives him witness protection flyout to NH, walt can't run from his sins, bad stuff happens, he returns to NM to settle score w/ big gun, something something walt bitch more breakfast

wouldn't mind watching a compilation of all the cold opens, they were pretty much all great. Wonder how well the showier/more gimmicky ones hold up. What was the episode where it's just a close-up of a hummingbird or sth and then in the ep it comes to a key bit and a character goes "woah did you see that hummingbird over there? anyway, meth." or whatever, I don't remember the details

Buried somewhere in one of these threads is a link to a blog post where an uninformed viewer tried to piece together the plot entirely from cold opens of the first few seasons. All those flashforwards made her synopsis weirdly disjointed.

I was viewing an early episode again recently where Walt was discussing music with Walt Jr. and raving about Steely Dan (who Flynn has never heard of) and it occurred to me that Walt's culinary skills kinda made him like Kid Charlemagne...and then I do a bit of Googling and find that "Kid Charlemagne" was the name Hal used when hosting his college radio program on "Malcolm In the Middle"! Weird...Wonder if Cranston is a Dan fan and wrote that stuff into the scripts himself?
― Sir Lord Baltimora (Myonga Vön Bontee), Monday, 14 October 2013 01:57 (ten years ago) link
i forget which interview it was, but you're right - he's a Steely Dan fan, he admitted to sneaking those references in

My wife started Netflixing this after the finale and she's near the end of S4. She started out watching 3-4 episodes at a time, but now she has to take a break to watch, like, an episode of Glee after each one to clean the nihilism out of her brain.

it's funny, my downstairs neighbor for awhile was a Welsh actor in his 40s, acted all his life, currently doing Shakespeare with the Globe theatre, been in 1,000,000 things, and i loaned him Breaking Bad, and he talked to me a little while later and said literally the same thing, that Cranston was the best acting he had ever seen anyone do in any role. i was like whoa alright there buddy.
