Breaking Bad - Season 5 (AMC) (1 Viewer)

They should end the series with Jesse coming out of a crystal meth haze in Mr. White's chemistry class in high school. As Jesse "comes back" Mr. White is calling on him with "Jesse? Jesse?" from in front of the chalkboard. It was all just a meth-induced St. Elsewhere dream!
I kid, I kid!

I say Declan's men force Walt to become an addict and he ends up shacked up with Spooge's old lady and the kid.

My predicition is everybody dies...everyone.

Aaron Paul ‏@aaronpaul_8
I just finished reading the first episode of the final season of Breaking Bad and words can not express what I just experienced. Holy shit.
I'm telling you!! The tension in this episode alone made my head explode a little bit.

(Retweeted by none other than BB-superfan Ewan McGregor, it would seem.)

^ Is it the summer yet? I still want to know when the show will catch up to the flashforward of Walt buying the machine gun.
I read it a few months ago but Bryan Cranston is scheduled to direct episode 9 (the episode that Paul is talking about).

 

[joshEH]

Even better was Ewan McGregor responding to that with just "Holy shit!", in his own Twitter-feed. I love it when other actors get so personally involved in projects they have nothing to do with.

I'm not really into You Tube fan re-edit videos but ANYONE who is a fan of both The Wire and Breaking Bad will love this:

You want?

Comes with a bag of blue meth (well, a toy replica). http://toynewsi.com/news.php?itemid=19775 For those who don't want to hit the link, it's an action figure. It almost looks more like a render from Grand Theft Auto IV.

 

[TravisR]

For $15, I'm definitely picking one of those up. And at the risk of sounding like a stereotypical whining toy collector, why aren't they also doing Jesse or Mike or Gus or Skinny Pete or...?

 

[Greg_S_H]

Hector Salamanca with working bell! That's the one. Pair it with a Gus Fring with an optional half skull head to swap in. If you go to the link at the link, you'll see a pretty cool Walt in hazard suit bobblehead.

I will see your "Hector Salamanca with working bell" and raise you a "Tortuga with removable head and turtle sidekick".

 

[Greg_S_H]

That's a good one. Who knew how much action figure potential was in BB? "Dirt bike kid can be completely disassembled and stored in the included barrel! Disassembled dirt bike sold separately!" All of these figures are in vacuum sealed packing, which can be opened with the optional Gus Fring box cutter.

The second half of the season starts on August 11. There's also going to be a goofball talk show afterwards (presumably like The Walking Dead/Talking Dead).

Hopefully they don't do those annoying as hell previews before the last act break like with Talking Dead.

 

[TravisR]

"Hey, I'm Chris Hardwicke! Can this episode get any crazier?! Tweet me @talkingbad #magnetbitches!"

EDIT: I posted this as a somewhat over the top joke but re-reading it, I realize that it's a pretty accurate representation of Talking Dead commercials.

Weren't there rumors at one point it would start in June?

That's too bad, as I was looking forward to having it run through the summer.

 

[TravisR]

Weren't there rumors at one point it would start in June?

I remember Aaron Paul said it would start on a date in July & AMC said that wasn't correct but with the first half of the season coming out on Blu-ray and DVD in early June, you'd think June or July would have happened. My guess is that AMC wants their schedule to basically go from one show to the next rather than overlapping them. By waiting until The Killing is almost over to start BB, they can run BB right into the return of The Walking Dead in October.

Travis, if you don't like street clothes Heisenberg, there's a new hazmat version coming in October:

Pretty amazing likeness.

It looks like the bobblehead is coming out on Wednesday, the original figure on June 30, and this new one in a few months.

Is the green suit seen in the show? The yellow is more iconic, though I don't dislike this look.

Even better (and more expensive):
