Shall we anticipate the FIFTH SEASON of the AMC series "Breaking Bad"? I think I may.

Just the single "good" was so fucking cold. I loved it.

OTMFM. If I had to pick just one word to represent the best of Anna Gunn's acting in this show, that would definitely be it.

i want jesse to be more than a punchline delivery device
i hope they increase his humanity, and soon

jesse is the most realistic person on tv

They can make token visits to the not-dead kid that Jesse likes, and his mom that Jesse may or may not be seeing.

I say this with all respect, and do not mean to start any kind of flaming, but Jesse is the show's most human character but a long way.

jesse being not very intelligent is his humanity! i actually love his character--he's a bruised sensitive soul surrounded by maniacs.

yeah that mom-and-kid plotline bores me -- i want to see him sitting around his house repairing shit or putting up a new shower curtain or something

I don't know, Badger seems pretty real

I enjoyed the fact that they were planning next steps at Jesse's house, which is now pretty clean, but still has eight foot tall speaker stacks

I crush on Jesse hard in every single incarnation the show has given him.

evidence room cop is the realest character on tv

Without Walt, Jesse would have just been a fuck-up, which is mostly a step down for him. He feels what's happening around him in a way that no one else does. Re-watch the episode where he talks about how he killed a "dog".

i hate his line readings, i feel like i can see the scarequotes around every cussword and "yo"

The papasan chair kills me.

The pizza he throws on the roof isn't sliced. If it had been, it would have gone in 12 different directions.

Later, last season, Badger or somebody at one of Jesse's meth parties explains that the pizza place gives you a discount for not having to slice it.

Pawnee, Ind., still uses AltaVista and apparently, Albuquerque has this thing with unsliced pizza (to cover a plot hole.)

Walt was still very much in character when he jacked the electromagnet up to 11 just to make sure he did the job right. Walt being thorough is the cause of, and solution to, 90% of the show's problems.

i like it when jesse gets to do normal stuff and interact with people who are not walt -- it gives us a chance to see him in a different environment. like when he was shopping at home depot? i loved that part.

I'ma be so pissed if it turns out Jesse is just a figment of Walt's imagination.

What was your take on Jesse's plot arc with the next-door girlfriend?

I liked her, sorry about what happened. The scene in the car after the art museum was great.

^^^ So good.

I'm with Eric re: crushing on Jesse

That gif made me grin. I loved the enthusiasm, plus you know, the magnet was his idea! Of course he's pumped!

Yeah, loved that reaction so much, but, tbh, what was going through my head through that whole scene was, "fuckin' magnets, how do they work?'.

Just a really great 45 seconds or so:

Haaa jvc! me, too!

So walt turns 51 in a few weeks = exactly barack obama's age?

50 is starting to sound freakin awesome

My wife and I have a long-standing discussion about why men love magnets, prompted by watching the exclusively male fascination over a tub full of "natural volcanic magnetic rock" at an airport gift store in Costa Rica. Like, every dude that passed by, whether "he" was a guy in business attire or an eco-hippy or a 5 year-old kid would stop and play with the magnets, while women seemed resolutely uninterested in them. Anyway, this episode kind of made our point for us. I still think magnets are great.

maybe guys are made of metal

we wear it on the end of our pricks.

why are you lookin' at me??

(and then they look at mike after hearing "plate in the head." such a great scene.)

sunny gave me a couple of bullet-shaped magnets that when you throw them into the air at the same time, they rub against each other and make this loud cicada noise.

Dudes in the office love them, but then, so did my daughter.

I think what adamrl was trying to say is that all men are 5-years-old.

Magnets are magic

We need to determine how our society has failed this stereotypical female such that she is not interested in the simple pleasures of magnets

I think women are basically afraid to enjoy magnets. Yeah I said it

these r hella fun

shh don't tell anyone but I secretly love magnets

Just don't let your parents know and you'll be fine

iirc that Buckyballs toy is the first result in a Youtube search for "most boring video ever" for some reason! ==> description obviously written by a woman. (Gonna buy someday)

if u ever do any kind of drug and those buckyballs are around, let me tell you folks, you're gonna be playing with them all night.

trippin buckyballs

I was joking

Haha, damn, good shit.

walt is the most human! people talked upthread about how mike is likable and loyal and professional, and walt's none of those things - which is what makes him so compelling. walt's bitterness/pettiness/cruelty are so recognizably human, he's such a great character! and i mean mike's fun to watch but you dont care about his inner life or anything. hes just a fun character like saul goodman (saul's cooler though)

jesse, i get why people like him, he's a hunky brooding bad bwoi or whatever, im not really attached to him. i hope he dies i guess

anyway dug this ep a lot, hospital scene was brutal, dont find waltavo fring totally convincing yet but i still like where things are headed. hope we get a heapin helpin of hank soon

ive said this a bunch of times on these threads but i like jesse cause hes such a common type of contemporary guy thats really under represented in popular entertainment and they just nail him

totally. he also completely undermines the "hunky brooding bad bwoi" thing with his constant state of hapless put-upon-ness
