Yeah, classy move, thanks.

Did you not see the comment thread IMMEDIATELY BELOW about keeping spoilers out of this space out of respect for people still catching up?

Never was the name "Ricky Hitler" better justified.

No spoilers here, please.

Not to completely discount what you're saying—but on a point of fact, Saul was never Gus's lawyer.  They're connected solely through Mike, who presumably picks up work from Saul (while primarily being Gus's head of security) because it's a good way of keeping tabs on what's going on with the competition in the smaller…

I give this comment a D-, for saying things like "deducted" when you mean "deduced."  And for "couldv" and "wouldv," which are small eye-murders of the language.

1)  You work for a criminal lawyer who hired you as a bodyguard, presumably simply for your intimidating bulk, since you've proven (several times, and quite recently) you can't actually do the job competently.
2)  Your one demonstrated skill is pickpocketing, which requires the sort of nervous delicacy that doesn't…

It'll probably be more like an It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World-style race to the treasure.  Can't wait to see Skyler, Marie, Saul and Walt Jr. driving around the desert together, bickering!

Do the hokey-pokey.  Turn yourself around.  Do it!  NOW!!

I really want it to be some sort of Banquo's ghost shit.

Well who do you get to murder family, if not some Nazi asshole?

Remember Walt in S4, remember his desperation and flailing when he had no options against Gus?  Not the same circumstances here, of course, but—Walt's cool has been badly and increasingly blown these last few episodes.  That was the point of that elaborately built (and mostly unnecessary) lie about the gas stink last…

I cut out the middleman, went straight to the fetal ball—just about when that photo of the fake barrel of money popped up.  Confrontation in the desert, no way that was not going to bring the pain.

That's enough with the potty mouth, Sister.

Dunno, they made pretty short work of Declan's gang at the underground lab a couple of weeks ago …

Which managed not to appear for me until 11 minutes after the review was posted.

All I could do for the last six minutes was just keep going NONONONONONONONONO

Sepinwall has a useful timeline of Jesse's knowledge/belief wrt the ricin cigarette in his review of "Confessions" (see the Update section below the review proper) that makes a good case for why Jesse's epiphany waiting for the vacuum repair guy is plausible.

Actually, having had some more time to think about it, I'm going to—not retract my complaint about the episode, exactly, but displace it.

I didn't think the lying to Skyler was pointless:  it gave us an awfully good picture (considering how obviously contrived Walt's story was, and overacted) of just how rattled Walt is now, and also showed how ingrained it is in him to protect Jesse—which is why he's lying, so that he won't have to expose the full…
