Somebody discuss Breaking Bad with me? Spoilers.

None of the hoars I work with watch the show so I am bursting to discuss.

Holy effing episode.

When Hank was arresting Walt-- I was like no effing way!  This can't be happening! 

I KNEW Todd's uncle was going to show up with his gang.  I am so disturbed -- who do you think is going to get it?  My gut tells me Jesse and Hank aren't going to make it out alive-- my H said that the call that Hank made to Marie was a purposful "goodbye" call (although he didn't know it).

I can't beleive we have to wait another week to see what happens.  I don't think I am emotionally stable enough to be watching this show.

It was such a tense episode!! I know Walt IS evil, but I think in this episode he slightly redeemed himself (I still root for him, although I'm not sure why).

He didn't want his brother in law to die, he didn't even really want Jesse killed. And a "real" drug kingpin wouldn't have had a problem with that.

Jesse did hear him yelling at Todd's uncle, "don't do it!", so maybe there is a chance they can end up back on the same side if Jesse lives.

Also, are they all really that horrible of a shot? My DH and I were like, "umm...no one has been killed yet?"

I definitely think Hank dies. That call to Marie was the last he is gonna make. I think Jesse escapes (I'm hopeful), and I think Hank's partner is killed. I'm not sure if the Nazi's will have casualties. They SHOULD considering all the gunfire!

I'm wondering if they take Walt "hostage" and force him to cook. They certainly didn't listen to him as if he was in charge when he was yelling no! Perhaps it's them we see him on the run from in the flash forwards, and not the cops?

One thing that bothered me was Huell. Like, I get that he is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he works for a lawyer? He really wouldn't know that communication between Saul and Walt was privileged? Really? I think that's sloppy writing.

The Huell conversation was strange - no matter what though once they showed him the created photo of Jesse on the phone - he was going to sing like a canary.

Hank (and I am guessing also his partner) have to die - there is just no way they could come out of that alive - despite the horrible shooting.  I think Jesse may have run off during the shooting but I guess the question is how he would get out of the desert without a vehicle.

Feeling like Walt will be held hostage to cook, which might explain his unkempt appearance in the flash-forwards.

I didn't even think of Walt being held hostage, but that is a really good call, and it would explain a ton.

crazy episode. when hank was on the phone with marie, I said to dh that he is done. but who knows with this show. seriously, it think it was the only time I ever heard him being nice to her. 

we knew todd's uncle was coming b/c you know they weren't going to let the blue stuff get away. did anyone else think they were hiding only to realize it was the bushes in the background?

interesting thoughts about walt being held hostage to cook. My initial thought on the flash-forward was that he used Saul's contact so he can become a different identity and lay low for awhile.

I'm always on Team Gilligan. How we could feel even the slightest thing for Walt is the brilliance of this show. I've always felt the final matchup will be with Jesse.

DH kept trying to speculate with me. I don't even want to think about it. I want to be surprised. Yet I opened this thread and am now trying to figure the most likely scenario. lol  I won't be upset unless Jesse dies.

and Walt's tears - I don't think they were from being caught by Hank or the even the prospect of losing everything but more from how Jesse betrayed him by ratting him out.

I was waiting for a head shot the entire time Hank was arresting Walt. I'm sure Hank dies. Maybe they will kidnap both Walt and Jesse to cook. I really don't want Jesse to die, that is my only hope for the ending.
