That was Walt's condo.

I'm stealing from Sepinwall's blog here, but the scene in the diner was very reminiscent of Pulp Fiction.

Is this the beginning of the end? Will the death of Gale lead to the ultimate unraveling of everything? The police will find Gale's "lab notes" that the camera showed at the the end that he had at the beginning of the episode. I think it will do more than make the police think he was Heisenberg. Could it lead back to Gus and his whole operation? Forcing Gus and Walt into even more of a forced alliance against the police?

hereto- either that, or it will lead to gus' unraveling and walt will sort of slide into running a large drug business.

it seems like that's been the whole arc of the series...how does a person become such an evil, ruthless drug lord? we're watching his transformation and each step gets him in deeper.

Have they given us a timeframe on how many seasons we have left?

I think you could have one where Walt slides in to take over (season 4)

Walt running an empire (season 5)

The downfall of Walt (season 6)

and/or

Walt in jail/on the run (season 7)

Though I'm not sure 7 is necessary

I haven't seen anything...I get the feeling they'll keep writing it as long as there's somewhere to go with the plot and characters. I think those are all things that can still happen, so I'd expect at least another couple seasons, depending on how this season goes.

Gilligan recently hinted S5 could be the end, though this means nothing. Pretty sure AMC already squeezed 2 more years out of what Weiner said he would do for Mad Men.

It was a good episode, but I'm not sure what the point of the scene with Hank. The introduction of him ordering "minerals" was too specific not to have a bearing on something in the future. That being said, it didn't really seem to serve any purpose but to darken an already dark episode.

Yeah I know! WTF was up with the "minerals"?

And the unexplained Kenny Rogers t-shirts...

They got blood on their clothes so the Kenny Rogers shirts were implying they went to Wal Mart and bought the cheapest thing available. Probably burned their old clothes.

Not sure what Hank and the minerals were implying.

The last scene was right out of pulp fiction, even down to the tshirts.

I bet the minerals will tie into the blue crystals somehow. How, I have no idea. Or it may just be a red herring.

That was my thought sharkenleo. Perhaps he's trying to learn about the blue meth by researching other types of blue chrystals?

On another note, this show is truly at a whole different level compared to anything else out there right now. It's amazing how they can make 10 minutes of a guy silently walking slowly across a room and changing clothes so terrifying and exciting.

The Kenny Rogers tshirts were great, but Walt still having the size sticker was awesome.

AMC’s critical darling Breaking Bad returned Sunday night with a tense episode that delivered its highest ratings ever.

A total of 2.6 million viewers and 1.5 million adults 18-49 tuned into the premiere telecast, up a whopping 30 percent from its third season debut more than a year ago.
And this is why holding it until the less crowded summer was a lot better than airing it earlier just so it could get more statues in a row.

Yup, at least 2 more seasons now

Every potential Supporting Actor Drama nominee for 2012 who watched BREAKING BAD tonight just quietly muttered, "****."

this show builds tension like no other. it was only heightened by Walt's constant pleading for his life. It will be interesting to see what Jesse becomes from here. He seemed steeled by what happened, almost pissed off vs Walt watching in horror

As soon as Gus slit Victor's throat, you could see the look in Jesse's eyes totally change. He understood at that point that they were all killers, and each and every one of them would do what they had to do to survive.

That. Was. ****ing. AWESOME.

America's destiny is not of our own choosing. We did not seek nor did we provoke an assault on our freedom and our way of life. We did not expect nor did we invite a confrontation with evil. Yet the true measure of a people's strength is how they rise to master that moment when it does arrive.

Great opening episode.

Jesse definately seemed like a changed man at the end. It should be interesting to see what becomes of him going forward. Also, the long slow walk by Gus was just awesome. Who would have thought a man walking around a room like that would be so intense?

I'm also thrilled I have AMC in HD this year... finally... lol

it was an "eh" episode, but this show has those. in retrospect, a lot more happened in this show that we know right now.

Jesse is one troubled dude. Suicidal maybe? I get the feeling the Brock is going to be what pulls him back to sobriety.

How dumb is Walter? Why wouldn't he assume that a) he's still being followed or b) Gus' house is watched? Also, he deserved the ass whipping. He has skated through this show relatively untouched while Jesse gets a fairly regular beating.

Marie is going to cheat on Hank.

Skyler needs more time on the treadmill and less sitting on her ass counting cars.

Did Mike beat up Walt to keep up appearances? An alliance between those two would be very interesting .

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell Hank is doing with the minerals
