    i thought it was actually one of the best episodes of the season, even though it was kinda predictable.

    Uhhmm, being depressed about shit and emotional IS Jesse's personality.

    GEEZ, haven't any of you ever heard of the concept of "character development" ? :rolleyes:

    Show would be flat if everybody stayed the same as they were first season, and I doubt it would be winning Emmy's.

    Yeah, you would think it would be over in a few seconds, but then again I remember watching the Hollywood robbery shootout in '97 and that lasted about an hour.

    I agree it was a great episode even though we all knew the cavalry would show up just in the nick of time :2thumbsup:

    Shootouts like that happen all the time.
    Hundreds of shots are fired, only a handful make their mark. (If any.)

    They say that it's partially psychological; that you don't really want to hit your target. Couldn't see that being the case with the Nazis though.. but maybe since their targets are DEA..

    It was a little cheesy that Hank could tail Walt so easily in the middle of the desert without being seen, and totally silly that the Nazis could get there so fast, when we watched Walt driving there for like 7 minutes of screen time...
    Didn't like that part so much.

    Well, Walt was on the cell phone with Jesse as he was driving out there. Obviously Hank was using the gps unit to locate Walt as he as driving. Meanwhile they were most likely following Walt as he led them out there. Plus Walt was angry and panicked, and was void of all common sense too; he confessed killing Gus Fring and poisoning Brock on that phone call with Jesse, which was most likely being recorded by the DEA for court evidence. Besides, if Walt had any common sense, he would have seen the smoke of burning money in the sky as he approached the location if Jesse was really burning it.

    As for the meth gang showing up, I can't explain how they got there so fast. Maybe they didn't have to drive very far from their location.

    Plus all that stuff he admitted over the phone call with Jesse contradicts the entire confession video he made for Hank

    this'll be a fun three episodes. I have a feeling the ending will piss a lot of people off, while still being bad fucking ass.

    It doesn't work like that. You have to go through the cell phone company. He would have needed a warrant, and he still hasn't gone official with this stuff.
    I was considering that part, that maybe they were located near that part of the desert; but that rings a little cliche too.
    There is desert in 360 degrees around Albuquerque, it seems unlikely that if they have an out-of-the-way hide out, they would be in the right part of the desert. And they weren't expecting to find Jesse in the desert, so they probably wouldn't be at that location anyways.

    Ah, I didn't even think about that! But if Hank, Jesse and Gomez all die, the confession tape could still be taken at face value..

    fuck yea! after seeing everyone's response to this idea online for the past few months, I don't see how they could NOT do it!

    what timeframe do we want? pre-heisenberg clients, post-heisenberg clients, or during or what?

    During would by far be the best. It would make it easy to bring in the characters we got to know but from a different view. But the interview i saw makes it sound like they are really leaning to the prequal side. But the cool thing with that is they can bring back anyone that died on the show

    I can't watch it 'til I get off work at 6:00am.

    I didn't read any new posts in this thread today because I don't want anyone to spoil it for me. :D

    Walt stealing holly was all part of a master plan to bailout skylar and make life better than it would've been for flynn and holly. The phone call was staged in order to bailout skylark.. Very smart move on walts part. Well played vince. well played...
