Crazy, even more intense episode last night.  I like how the series is showing the wide impact of what Walt has done.  So darn good!

The only thing I am not so thrilled with....

[spoiler]Is the arc they currently have Jesse on. His fall into depression and the way he is caught by the police playing Robin Hood in the hood strained credibility a bit.[/spoiler]

I might be the only viewer who would've been happy if the mid-season finale was the end of the show. That's what I'd have called good, 70's style ambiguity.

That said, the new episodes are keeling things up.
[spoiler]
I really like how irrational and over the top Hank's reaction was. He is being a terrible cop, but very human. [/spoiler]

I don't want ambiguity. I was burned by the Sopranos...artistic or not, faithful viewers deserved a decent ending. Vince Gilligan has said there US a definitive ending and he feels satisfied, so that's hopeful. As far as Hank goes [spoiler] he really is Ahab-ing it up with Walt.  I even wondered if Marie was wired when she went to talk to Skylar. I also find it pretty amazing that after last "season" Skylar is all in with Walt, telling him they need to keep quiet since Hank has nothing...except maybe Jesse now. [/spoiler]

one word for this show

Heisenberg!

You clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in: I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger. A guy opens his door and gets shot, and you think that of me? No! I am the one who knocks!

Walter White: Now... Say my name.
Declan: ...Heisenberg...
Walter White: You're god damned right!

I don't go to work and a company that could be listed on the Fortune 500 ceases to be!

OMG!  That's so awesome!  Man, this show is so darn great!  What an episode this week!

[spoiler]Between the awkward dinner, the video CD, and Jesse finally learning how bad Walt has broken - man oh man!  It's getting explosive![/spoiler]

Someone needs to remind me..

[spoiler]What is the deal with the ricin cigarette again? I recall Walt making it but who was it meant for and why did Jesse have it?[/spoiler]

Rico

Didn't you binge watch this show recently Bryan?  :)

[spoiler]The ricin cigarette Walt made to try to get Jesse to poison Gus Fring (also he did it earlier too for Tuco).  Basically this alerts Jesse to Walt's ability with poisoning and chemistry.  Which leads Jesse to the correct assumption that Walt poisoned Brock (the little boy) even though the boy was poisoned by a plant Walt had - not by ricin.  Remember, Walt used the poisoning of Brock to pull Jesse back in to his side and against Gus, etc.[/spoiler]

Easy - right?
