So. . . women in their 30s really love breath mints? I think I missed something.

Ever consider the possibility that they do it specifically to irritate you?

And what I can't wrap my mind around is, how did he get so good at all these aspects of filmmaking?  His standup, sure— he's been mostly focused on standup for his entire career.  "Louie" isn't just great because it's an personal vision; it's also incredibly polished.  So artfully written, acted, edited and directed,…

But it's just. . .  not even remotely *similar*.  You went to a Perkins with someone from church who ordered food for you and threw water in your face.  Yeah. . . don't see the connection.

yeah, she's meant to be a gypsy.

I proposed *exactly* the same theory on the excellent forum, The Chase Lounge (thechaselounge.net), back when the 6th season was airing.  Some folks seemed to agree with me.

I'm going back and forth thinking about this now.  You definitely have a point.  I see how you could view Walt's request about calling in the tip as little but an afterthought, but it didn't play that way to me.  Maybe because he had to basically badger Saul into doing it?  I think he had in mind all along to make…

But I think what you're missing is that Gus only threatened to kill Walt and his family *if* he interfered with Gus's taking care of the Hank situation. That's how I remember it, and if I'm not mistaken, then that means Walt tipping off Hank is the reason he needs to flee at this moment in the first place.  If he had…

I've yet to figure out a halfway decent means of keeping up with these discussions with the "tools" (used loosely) provided. . . I sort of thought I was doing something wrong because I never see anyone complaining about it, but at least I'm not the *only* one.

On a purely character level, this is the strongest argument I've seen against the "Walt did it" theory.  I wish it was possible to *completely* discount the possibility based on plot points, but as evidenced by all the comments, there are explanations possible, even if they're implausible.

Yeah, while there was no plausible way that could have actually happened, the shot from behind the toilet just seemed to build on the Godfather reference, so for a moment I couldn't help actually expecting Gus to pull a gun out. It would have been mind bogglingly silly, of course.

Ah, I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the scene as an overt Godfather reference. Also, I *really* did read all the comments first, before claiming no one else had mentioned it.  :)

Just finished reading all the comments, and I'm surprised no one commented on this yet:

Yup, that's a bunch of words you typed there, all right.

Hey, no need for apologies, man.  I have no problem with that, as long as you have no problem with my finding your post too heterosexual, and going off to look at some kox instead.
