I agree, but I'm hoping when this all hits the media we'll hear something in the background on the news, like "Walter White, former Gray Matter employee, was later fired from a government chem lab after wrapping all their equipment in plastic and chasing flies around the room…"

I'm pretty sure the crib is just inside the door to the office and can be seen from the cash register, so Skyler or that assistant whose name I keep forgetting can keep an eye on Holly.

I've heard that ricin is "painful" in comments before but I don't actually remember it from the show. Anyone got an episode? The only things I remember from the show are that it takes a few days and it looks like flu symptoms.

Walt is starting to make really strange, difficult to believe mistakes, just like Mike did toward the end. I understand that this is what the writers are going for on purpose, but I've never been completely sold on it as a narrative device.

But she just feels so good when she's thinking about murder.

A friend of mine and I have had a running gag of "Boy, tonight's episode was really tense, and why is my arm tingling?" for a couple of years now. It warms my over-strained heart to see so many people here at AVC experiencing the same cardiovascular joy.

Yeah, you can get brains in little containers from a lot of grocery stores; brains and scrambled eggs are more common than you'd imagine. Cow brains aren't usually available though because of Mad Cow, so I suspect these were pig brains, and direct from a butcher to boot.

"I'm in every episode up until the end! Of course, I'm in a coma for the last three. Some actors feel that limits their range, but I really make the most of it… a few eyebrow twitches, a toe wiggle here and there…"

I did too, but I'm not sure it wasn't shadow on that pinkish (salmon colored!) shirt of his. And everyone was wearing a bulletproof vest this episode so I'll bet he and Hank were, too.  Still, there was that grimace…

Yeah, I suppose the Declan incident could be foreshadowing, where the Nazis left him alive and had to go back to get him again — might mean Hank (probably) lives but is wounded badly. Honestly, though, I don't see any real way Gomie and Hank can get out of this.

What was great about Walt being stupid is that by the time he was getting arrested and had his back to Hank, he had That Look, the one where you know Heisenberg has finally had enough time to come up with a good plan. I was half distracted by what that plan was going to be, especially when he was sitting alone in the…

It was all I could do to not shout, "GODDAMMIT, VINCE" at that line.

SCIENCE!

Not ironic, but a little too on the nose for me, considering the name Heisenberg, a scientist who may or may not have been in the planning stages of developing nuclear weaponry for the Nazis during WWII.

No, I thought the same, too. He seemed even more animated about this particular lie than he had with previous ones, like he wanted everyone to realize it was a lie. Walt has learned that you tell an obvious lie to misdirect people into thinking a lesser lie is really what happened.

But he was working for a government lab near Los Alamos when they were house shopping in a flashback. Skyler was already pregnant, and surely a government job would have given him more money and better insurance than a teaching job. (Edit: As I realize bruisedpristine has already explained in more detail below.)

Everyone feels so sorry for Jesse because of the number Walt did on him, but I also feel sorry for Skyler. Walt really screwed her up, too.

I'm fond of your theory right now, if only because it explains that music video from "Negro y Azul" where the guy playing Heisenberg actually looked like Jesse in Walt's hat.

The comment Hank made when he was testing the wire, listing two Latino people just to get on Steve Gomez's nerves, was straight-up season one Hank.

Hell, even the bag of coffee is purple. She doesn't buy coffee based on how good it is but on the color of bag it comes in.
