It's not disgusting. She's already said she's a coward, and her goal was to have Walt out of the business so they could go back to normal. It's misguided and not a great plan, of course, but I can't imagine it being "fucking gross" or "disgusting" or "cocky." Plenty of people have done MUCH worse than Skyler has, just…

Or the implied Pinochet connections from Gus Fring's days have finally shown up.

The show uses a lot of literary devices to create parallels, and yes, I agree the cigarettes and Jesse and Huell were all direct callbacks to the ricin being lifted. It was so obvious, I even said, "Oh shit, does Jesse know? Is he taunting Huell?" He doesn't know, though; it was just a callback for the audience's…

Like others have said before, they finally got the beige memo. A reference to the rich, successful people at Gretchen's party, a neutral color, and like you said, looking clean on the outside.

No, Hank's doing that — see the scene where he's driving away after finding Leaves of Grass. Total Hector face on him until he crashes.

It's a literary device meant for the audience to draw parallels between two characters, not an example of Walt directly mimicking Gus.

Agreed that everyone has to break bad, but Hank already did by beating up Jesse.  (And there were inferences that he'd skirted the law before, calling in favors and covering up Marie's shoplifting and knowing about the bust with Badger that was close to, if not outright, entrapment.)  He was suspended, had his…

Do we know it's six months? Honest question. Couldn't the "52" on his birthday dinner in the season five cold open have been remembering his 52nd birthday which happened at some point in the past? And couldn't his comment about only living six months be an estimate or even a lie on his part?

I have to admit, I was disappointed. All the callbacks to prior episodes felt like pandering. Okay, we get it, they finally got The Beige Memo, and Walt's prepping to throwing up just like Gus did, and a lengthy air freshener riff, and the GPS tracker, and drugs under the sink just like Jesse hid the meth, and another…

As a critic, I loathe documentaries that rely so heavily on "interesting" reenactments that they blur the line between reality and fiction. Audiences really love staged moments and reenactments in documentaries, so the trend has been to include them, which of course makes documentaries "behave" more like movies. For…

God is not kind to heathens like me who watch both Breaking Bad and Big Bang Theory. It's a bitch getting the locusts out of your hair, by the way. Those fuckers NEST.

"That, more than anything, is what really put forth the idea of vampires
as exclusive, high-tier night-clubbers who are young and beautiful
forever."

When he came out of the scan with his mouth slightly open, he looked like a corpse, a corpse that has been sitting long enough to start getting the rigor "smile." So I couldn't really tell what his look at the punched-up paper towel holder meant, unless it was just wistfulness. I suppose the cancer returning might…

The only thing I can think of is Gus contributing to Walt's cancer fund and then being seen speaking to Walt at the hospital later. Neither imply a real connection, though.

I had a problem with a lot of Mike's mistakes this season, they seemed gratuitous and done solely for the purpose of leading to his inevitable death. But having Walt get his go bag wasn't a huge issue for me. Walt had just called Mike to warn him the DEA was coming, plus he seemed impressed with how Walt handled the…
