Breaking Bad Discussion >>>>>

Who watched last night?

Amazing foreshadowing to start the episode. Is Walt on the run?? Does he have a new identity (beard, glasses, new ID, New Hampshire plates)? Cancer is back (cough)?

Is Skyler going to crack and turn on him??

I love this show!

Great show! Last night was no different. 

The magnet to destroy the laptop part was awesome.  I was on the edge of my seat, holding my breath that they didnt get caught.

Skyler = WHY? and who cares?

Yeah BITCH! MAGNETS!!!

This show makes me anxious and irritable.

Currently on Season 3 and don't have cable.

Must avoid this thread!

Oh, god, me too. Leading to the season finale last year was intense.

Last night was increidble, the magnets were so awesome. Seeing Saul cower in front of Walt was intense. I missed the first couple of minutes, I need to go back and rewatch it….

Definitely go back and rewatch, the beginning scene with Walt in the diner is awesome!

hahaha, true… but I love it!

Loved the last episode of last season.
Time away from the show, but funny how easy it is to fall back into that nervous gut feeling. He's a bad, bad man. (Magnets!) PME.
(Hope I didn't miss anything in the diner scene - seemed standard to me…?)

i love how denny's bathroom exchanges and semi-automatic weapons seem standard in this show.

Nothing missed, but I think it gave an interesting glimpse into what's to come… On the run, new identity, purchasing war-esque machine guns, etc.

All I kept thinking about was this when Jesse brough up the idea of magnets:

so do you guys think the laptop erase actually worked? we only know that the screen cracked!

I think it worked, but my guess is they'll find out about Walt through the offshore accounts/Saul.

I agree… that bank info in the picture frame is going to screw things up.

No wedding ring in this scene either!

Great recap.

when he said "I forgive you"…wow, set the tone of the season already. Cringeworthy! Shall be interesting to see what led to the diner…I didn't see what was behind the picture…interesting…I just thought it was a love letter to his lover and that they would tie him to the cartel and then it would lead to Walt. Your observation is much more thorough!

hilarious. Aaron Paul (or the early makings of his character, Jesse?) on Price is Right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB4Lz0Wb0MI

Oddly enough I thought last week's premiere was a very weak episode.  Beyond the Denny's opening, the episode just didn't bear much weight in its plot line.  Season four wrapped up with a bow: Walt brilliantly murders a major drug lord, finally giving Hank his 'Heisenberg', and eventually stands to become the sole meth kingpin in the ABQ and beyond.  With that said, why go backwards by devoting an episode to magnetism?  This ain't Mythbusters.  Clearly, Hank's going to see the wreckage outside the evidence room and realize Heisenberg is still out there.  Why not have Walt snatch the laptop last season and start fresh in season five? 

Mike's return didn't add much either.  Last season he was a cleaner/hitman/fixer, cold blooded and bad ass.  Now, he's like a petulant little brother, trying to be the Debbie Downer instead of the hitman.  Sure, he used to work for Gus but it always felt more like a job than a longstanding loyalty.  A guy like Mike would respect the business end of Gus' killing and remove the emotion of the act. 

Ted's still alive?  Really?

Regardless, it's a tremendous show.  I just didn't think that episode was very good.  Magnets, bitch.

Mike sure as hell ain't no petulant little brother as of last night's episode!
