They talked about it in a podcast. They wanted an authentic Narco Corridos song but the genre demands that the drug lords/cartel are the heroes. It doesn't necessarily predict the future.

Yeah... to me it was just a clever way of letting viewers know that the cartel is now "on" to "Heisenberg" and wants him dead.

Just something new for Jesse and Walter to deal with.

Oh -- and how about "The Turtle"... I was really hoping that Danny Trejo would become a recurring character, but what a way to go!

This is what I thought. Just "Jesse being Jesse."

I figured that he'd be the new bad guy going after Walt and Jesse so it was a complete surprise to me to see him go so fast.

I know... he would have been a great recurring character... but at least his one episode was memorable.

Maybe it's me, but Krysten Ritter (Jane, the neighbor/landlord) is filling out since her Gilmore Girls days, and the weight looks good on her.

Overall, very entertaining episode, plus interjecting a lawyer into the mix opens up more dramedy.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 2

Another Fantastic episode.. I think this one put Walt on his Brother in Law's radar, almost moreso for his talk in the bedroom scene where he got to see the Dark side of Walt, then later On as the pieces of the Heisenberg bust don't add up and Walt shows up at the scene. Love Saul Goodman(the Irishman), another piece added to the sinking ship that is Walt's Drug Syndicate. Anyone know how many eps they are doing this year is it 13 ? Glad to see it's already remewed, this show is quickly becoming one of the best series of the decade.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 2

The opening scene on the bench between the dealer and the cop was one of the funniest things in a long time! Come to think of it, so was the later bench (or more appropriately, "benches") scene as well. Another excellent episode in a most quirky, enjoyable (and headlines relevant) series.



And "Saul Goodman?"

It's all good, man!

I thought she was hot on GG too but she's definitely looking even better now. I got a thing for pasty girls with dark hair.

It'll be interesting to see what Walt will do if one of the dealers gets caught again, and what other tricks Saul has up his sleeve to bail him out, now that the guy who loves being in prison, is already there.

I'm sure that Saul has a bunch more professional prison attenders lined up.

Also very funny that Badger had both vans pegged, the flower van and the brown van - but he still went through with the deal.

Yeah I was thinking that as well. DJ Qualls was pretty convincing though...

That lawyer guy was great. Some might recognize him from Mr. Show alongside David Cross.

Does crime pay? You be the judge. The 2nd half of tonight's episode was hilarious.

The second half was greatness. I love getting back to the Walt/Jesse dynamic after they have basically had almost seperate stories going on in the 2nd season.

My favorite exchange:

JESSE: "So what are we gonna do?"

WALT: "You said it yourself..."

JESSE: "Robots?"

Re: Breaking Bad Season 2

I don't think I've ever seen a TV show or movie where a character's cancer remission is seen as anything less than 100% great.

If I was in Walt's position, I'd cook enough to live comfortably for the rest of my life and then retire from the business. Too bad that plan won't work for Walt.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 2

When he saw the reflection of the scan, I thought for sure that he was looking another persons scan.

The way they played out the scan was even better.

I still wonder about the ep that had all the evidence bag laid out by the pool and how that is going to work into the show.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 2

Yep, another great episode.

So I was trying to psycho-analyze why Walt was so angry about the news of his cancer remission.

I guess the obvious reason is that he's just angry because he went through all of this (highly illegal) activity to take care of his family, and it turns out he might be around for a while longer. But could there be a deeper meaning? Perhaps he had accepted that it was his time, and going back to the pilot (prior to him finding out about the cancer) it seemed he wasn't all that happy with his life to begin with.

There's also the fact that he almost died anyway over the weekend because he was in a rush to make money for his family, and as it turns out he had plenty of time left.

My guess is that Walt's new water heater installation destroys the house, not sure about the body bags though.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 2

I was wondering if Walt installed the tankless water heater correctly in terms of making sure there was a return flue (that was up to code) because I had thought about tankless when replacing my water heater in 2007, and it would have required more work done to my house to get the requisite piping in place.

Yeah when he was doing that work I was on edge waiting for the house to blow.

Another good ep.

Walt really likes his new persona and doesn't want to give it up.

The scenes in the home center and outside were great.

I think the tankless water heater will most definitly play some part in the accident.

I was actually looking at them at Lowe's last night, and there are a ton of warnings plastered all over them about how they require a professional installation because of the special installation issues and the calibration of the gas line load.

In order to do that, you must be able to calculate the exact line pressure load (in pressure and BTUs) of every gas-using fixture/appliance in your home, and you need to know the exact mainline load coming in from your utility.

If you were to undercalculate your total load, you could cause a big-time problem with the tankless water heater.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 2

Pure speculation on my part, but with what's going on with the territories and such right now, could the house blowing up be some elaborate plan set up by Walt to make it look like an accident with the hot water heater, and the two body bags are actually two competing dealers? Pretty far out there I guess considering having two drug dealers killed in his own house could implicate him further, but with this show, who knows?

When is the season finale anyway?

Re: Breaking Bad Season 2

Yeah, the season finale is May 31. I like that AMC doesn't skip a week because of a holiday (Easter or Memorial Day). Even HBO has started skipping holidays.

Eventhough everyone should know better than to do heroine, I feel bad for Jesse.

Thanks to Breaking Bad, I can now cook up a speedball.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 2

A speed ball is typically H and coke. Not sure if they call H and meth the same thing. And I'm not researching on my work PC.

Jessie sure is going down the spiral. Based on the previews, just the thing he and his relapsed girlfriend need is a pile of cash. That will be shot rather quickly. Burn through the cash or death, whichever comes first.

I thought it was still called a speedball but I could be wrong. Too bad that I don't know more interesting people or I'd be able to confirm the name.

Re: Breaking Bad Season 2

Speaking of bad things in the last episode, how bad/wrong/inappropriate was the whole "Happy birthday Mr. President" thing with Skyler?!

I was thinking that if one of my married co-workers did that to my boss, it would really creep me out.... and start lots of rumors.

Very creepy, even more so that she did it once before for him. My wife was saying if a girl did that in her office she'd be 'done' as far as the other women were concerned.
