I didn't always believe his protestations, either. But he really tried to do anything he could to get the money to his family. They're just not interested in taking it. I'm not convinced he's going to shoot up Grey Matters, though. Gretchen and Elliot may have just inspired him to "man up" and go after the Nazis.

…and there goes Saul. Will we ever see the Nebraska Cinnabon manager again?

Yes, you're all class.

Really? We're still doing "Skyler/Anna Gunn is a bitch" stuff?

He could definitely make a cameo appearance every now and then. I'm sure Saul had been dealing with the DEA for years.

It didn't work for Breaking Bad, not really. The first half of season five was unsatisfying creatively. They certainly made up for it in these final eight, but it still sucks that they did it. The Mad Men decision is even worse. Is Weiner going to be able to tell a full story arc in seven episodes? And will we still…

Wow. I'm so glad I'm not you. Damn. This was the best hour of the show, hands down.

Skyler wasn't abused. She went into this every step of the way willingly. Hell, before Gus died she thought Walt was weak and needed her to make sure everything worked out okay. Her downfall was her hubris, just like with Walt. But Walt's saving her anyway, because he knows she wouldn't have done any of this if he…

The number of people who misread the Walter/Skyler phone scene is more than a little disheartening. Low EQ, I guess? Inability to read people and pick up on context?

No, it's really not even debatable. He was trying to get Skyler off the hook. He knows for a solid fact that the cops are listening in. He watched Flynn call them. And you can tell by the tears in his eyes how much it's killing him to say these lies. And they *were* lies. He claims that Skyler knows nothing about the…

The smart thing to do would be to kill Walt, but i think Jack genuinely wanted to do the "right" thing by Walt, mainly for Todd's sake.

Holy shit. I hadn't considered that!  That's brilliant. Todd stays behind to force Jesse to cook because of Lydia. He wants to woo her and doesn't want to leave her high and dry, so he lets the rest go without him.I hope you're right. That's really fucking awesome. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go to my FB…

Yeah, I was a little worried, myself. But he did great.

I kind of wanted Donna to go all Evil Heisenberg on us and give this episode an F, just for shits and giggles.

They should've cut to black last week before any shots were fired, and then shown us the aftermath. That would've been way more effective.

Yikes, no.

Walt can't do that without incriminating himself, and Jack knows that. That said, Jack probably should've just gone ahead and killed Walt. It's the classic movie villain move to let Walt live.

He wants to make Jesse's new work environment feel cherry. It's sweet, really.

Why would he be angry at Skyler?

Yes. It's a threat. Cook or else.
