The official Breaking Bad is an awesome fucking show thread.

I'm not sure how much more excitement I can take if things keep going the way they are. I really was so close, ready to pop that little shithead, and then... I can't even say it. This week blew, my friends. Blew like Mount St. Helens. It blew like Old Faithful. Shit, it blew like Tara Hedden at prom. I can't go into details because, you know... blah, blah the investigation is ongoing. But really, I can't go into details because when I think about them, I get so effing pissed, I want to... well, I want to do some damage. I might blow like Mount St. Helens or Old Faithful (I got nothing on Tara though -- she had a talent).
I know my wife's been reading these entries looking for "secrets" as to what's been going on (that last bit was special for her, too -- love you baby!). In a sense, I guess it's good -- saves me telling the story more than once. And I tell you what -- the decrease in the level o' nag is pretty freakin' nice too. I get she's curious, believe me... she makes George there look like a pathetic amateur, but it gets very old, very fast. I mean, I got her on a need-to-know basis. Some shit... she just doesn't need to know. So anyway, if you're looking for answers babe, it's best to move on. There's no way in hell I'm getting into details today. I just gotta vent and get this crap out of my system.
I mean, what do I have to do to catch a break here? I got this pissant little shitweasel somehow running circles around me. I've got him trapped, literally, and he gets the better of me. I feel like a schmuck. And the bastard's probably just laughing at me right now. God, what I wouldn't give...
I gotta take it down a level, I know. But, believe me, I will get this kid. He can't hide forever...
Had some time to stew over the episode last night and it got my mind wondering....
Do you guys think Gus wants to take Walt's formula? I mean, maybe thats why he got that lab assistant there; dude is obviously overqualified to be an assistant. Once he learns the formula and Gus is finished with Walt, will he let the Cartel merk Walt?
Maybe that doesnt make sense because originally they wanted Hank and the don said that the DEA was off limits, and to take Walt instead. Now that Gus approved them to wack Hank, they dont need to go for Walt? I'm gonna hope the rest of the season is that predictable....

^^I kinda feel like Gus wanted to have a like minded individual that Walt could relate to, make his job more pleasing thus insuring Walt will stay since he's happy there.
I suspect at some point, Walt's new assistant will leave for some reason, maybe Walt will convince him to pursue a different career path, whatever the reason I think Jesse will become his new lab partner, Gus I think will go for it because Walt once told him Jesse was a good worker under his supervision.
With that said this show is nearly impossible to predict so who knows

I think Gus doesn't want Walter dead at all. They look too much a like and I think Gus sees himself in Walter a bit.
Because they both keep a very low profile. And don't spend their money like crazy like the rest of them do. So I think he sees a steady business partner and a like minded individual in Walt.
How many seasons is this going for? They could kill Hank if they are ending the series after the 3th or 4th season probably.

I forgot where I read it but in an interview Vince Gilligan (creator/writer/director/producer) said that he had 4 to 5 seasons planned out in his head with the way he wanted the show to end already mapped out. So I'm hoping for 5 seasons and that they don't try to milk it for more and ruin it.
Hahaha thanks 2-0-Sixx.
Hahaha thanks 2-0-Sixx.
fuck walt fucked up by having taht lab assistant. that lab assistant is gonna find out how he makes his crsytals, and then no more walt will be needed, he's good as dead. them twins is gonna get the nod from pollos, once his formula is in safe hands with the assistant.
i get this feeling that walt is gonna die and jesse is gonna end up in paradise.
walts dea bro in law is gonna end up dead soon too.
shits motherfuckers gonna end up going all out like reservoir dogs and just kill each other, and see who ends up alive in the end.

Good article on Tuco's cousins and where they came from:
From prison to hit TV show’s set
Luis Moncada did time, then got a job as a security guard on a movie shoot. And before he knew it, he was on ‘Breaking Bad.’
Luis, left, and Daniel Moncada are real life brothers and former gang members who now play villainous brothers
Every time Luis Moncada blinks, he curses, thanks to the unprintable expletive tattooed onto his eyelids at age 18.
A gang member at the time, he was convinced he wouldn't make it to 21 and wanted to deliver this angry message to the world when he was gone.
Fourteen years later, Moncada is telling a different kind of story with his eyes. He and his brother Daniel have recurring roles on AMC's "Breaking Bad," where they've spent much of this third season playing silent-assassin types — cartel members from Mexico who've come to kill Walter White ( Bryan Cranston).
For Luis, now 32, it's one of a long string of acting gigs that began in 2002, when a director spotted his tattoos and asked if he wanted to be in a film. For Daniel, 30, it's his first acting role.
"I tell my wife all the time, ‘Wow, look at how far we've come,'" Luis Moncada says, with Daniel sitting nearby.
The journey included a few key stops, such as Luis' prison sentence for driving a stolen vehicle. "I'm not thankful I went to prison," he says, "but after going to prison, that's when you really, really, really think, ‘Wow, what a waste of time.' I had to change."
Also crucial was a beautiful girl who happened to be a parole officer ("No, not my parole officer," Luis notes with a smile), along with a move away from the Hollywood and Echo Park neighborhoods where Luis and Daniel sometimes associated with the wrong crowd. Leaving his gang on good terms, he moved with his brother to Studio City. Luis married the parole officer and they have a 2-year-old son; Daniel lives in their spare bedroom.
The acting career was an accident. Luis was a security guard on the set of a small film, "El Padrino," when director Damian Chapa spotted the gang tattoo around his neck and asked if he wanted to play Jennifer Tilly's bodyguard. "I was getting off in 10 minutes so I said, ‘You know what, sir? No thank you. I don't know if I can do eight or 12 more hours."
But Manuel Jimenez stood nearby. Jimenez is an ex-con who created Suspect Entertainment, a talent agency that turns reformed gang members into actors; Hollywood often utilizes Suspect when it needs to fill the role of a bad guy.
Jimenez convinced Luis to take the role and then signed him to the agency. A slew of other parts followed — "Gangbanger," "Carjacker," "Thug," his IMDb credits read. "Would you be cool with me if you saw me in an alley?" he asks. "No, you'd probably be scared of me. So I'm the bad guy. For now."
And then came "Breaking Bad." "We knew we were going to have these very scary, very silent Mexican cartel assassins in our third season, so we put the word out and needed to find these guys," says Vince Gilligan, the show's creator. "We needed a couple of guys who were very charismatic, whose expressions and eyes told us a lot."
The Moncadas stood out; Luis had initially caught the eye of the show's casting directors, but since the script called for brothers, they asked that his brother audition too. "They exuded a certain authenticity," Gilligan says. "They don't have to glare at you to scare you."
Cranston directed them in last month's season premiere, which included a sequence in which the brothers coolly walked away from an exploding truck. Daniel even remembered Cranston's note that, "If you feel like it, it would be cool if you casually lifted your cigarette to your lips and take a puff like you're walking in the park."
Afterward, "I just threw my arms around them," Cranston said. "It was perfect."
After several more weeks of shooting, their work was done. "Whenever it's the last scene for an actor in a season, the [assistant director] will make an announcement and people will applaud — especially if we like them," Cranston says. Here, the applause from the cast and crew grew especially loud and long. "These two guys, their lives could have gone a very different way and our industry somehow showed them an avenue of alternatives, and they took them."
And those eyes? The emotion of the moment, Cranston says, actually made Luis Moncada cry.
Asked about it now, Luis says with a laugh, "Come on, Bryan — why put me on the spot like that? You can't call it crying if a tear doesn't come down. But," he adds, "OK, my eyes got a little watery. It was a beautiful experience."

Last episode was good, finally it's picking up though. I think Gus likes Walt as a partner and he's not happy about the Mexican Cartel hitters showing up to his work place and pushing him to give up Walt, Gus as a drug boss in his area doesn't like being told what to do, specially when they had the meeting when the sun was going down. Gus didn't seem happy about them two hitters, I think a war between Gus and them hitters might start.
I don't see Hank dying anytime soon though, but I also think if they do go after Hank. Hank will kill one of them brothers.....
Walt and Jessie will team up again and work in Gus underground lab ...
but who knows how shit its gonna go down, I just hope the show goes all the way to season 5-6 ...
