Also, she really does.


Oh come on.  She is a solid 7 at best.  That doesn't mean that she shouldn't get naked because why not?  But she certainly isn't "man I really want to see her naked" hot.

Are we talking about Deadwood Anna or Breaking Bad Anna? She seems to have gotten a bad case of Plastic Surgery between the two, which didn't improve her looks. Not that this should matter once she gets naked.

Extensive nudity would have been the only thing that could have saved her Deadwood character. God she was a drag.

Wow, I knew I'd seen Anna Gunn somewhere before Breaking Bad, but never connected it to Deadwood. Her character really never had much of a chance to be anything in Deadwood - maybe she would have in Season 4 (fuck you, HBO).

Had to look her up. The whole point of her character is to be a drag.

When they did the pullback on the hat I literally got goosebumps. The fuckall of it is that I am on vacation in some remote dude ranch when the first episode is on so won't get to see it for 4 days after air.

Midway through S2. Still digging it even as my stomach churns from stress while watching (or even thinking about) it  awesome, for real

Glad to see Tuco get his finally. Nice to see Hank get the credit too..he is a fun character. Just when he is starting to look like a caricature, he comes back and acts human for a bit. Good writing and good acting.

Same here. It's like the director knew people would expect the tension to be dialed back a bit for a few episodes and went: "Haha, fuck that shit, full speed ahead!"  DRILLING AND MANLINESS

The last 10 minutes kept it away from breaking boring. Jesse is back to being a guilty mess, Walter pretends he isn't a drug lord monster, and Skylar does nothing to redeem her character. Does Hank need to have an anger induced panic attack? No. Was it awesome? Yes. How personal Hank is taking this makes him semi calmly accepting Walts threat feel,... there are moments when this show reminds me that much of the drama of it's parts come from the low middle class family living somewhere their income can no longer manage.  Case in point Hank realizing that he is too white collar for what is about to happen.

Fuck yeah. I am going to be so sad to see this end.

Skylar finally realizing just how deep in this whole thing she is, and just what that means, as well as Todd's reappearance were all awesome. Fucked up future Walt has got me so jonesing to figure out what has happened between now and then. Also, Jesse has so totally lost it. Hank is going to shred him.

Was so bummed when it to the show end just before Hank was about to waltz in to the interrogation room. Can't wait until next week's show.

Todd is the new Walt.
Lydia is the new Skylar.
Todd's uncle is the new Mike.
But Hank is still Captain Ahab questing for the old Walt whale.
And the meth game goes on and on.

My bossman believes Walt will survive but everything dear (and/or close) to him will be destroyed -- family, Jessie, etc.… That that is the form of his tragic destruction. I not so sure I subscribe to that but after this recent episode maybe my bossman is spot on… …seems like it would fit the narrative -- Walt compartmentalizes his deed(s) (think of when Saul suggests he "send Hank to Belize" and Walt is aghast over that) and somehow thinks he can bear the weight of his wrongdoing but what if the true *tragedy* is seeing the destruction of those he thought he was acting and caring for, and fails ultimately in shielding from repercussions and fallout.

I think it's pretty obvious that's going to happen regardless of whether Walt ends the show as a corpse.

Jesse coming to his realization while looking at the cigarette pack threw me at first.

I thought he was looking for the cell phone that Saul gave him and found cigarettes instead and that somehow this meant that someone was coming to kill him. Yeah. I dunno where I came up with that one.  swamp poop

When I saw the shot of the van coming down the road, I thought they were going to kill him off, too.  I kind of hope he's the one who takes out Walt, if Walt is to be taken out.  It would make me too sad if Walt killed Jesse after playing him for so long.

I love how Saul's bodyguard can't stop anyone rushing into Saul's office but is adept at fingering out cigarettes from a pocketed pack.

And that confession video was awesome…

"Walt, confess!"

"Kill yourself, Walt!"

"OK, I confess it was Hank that made me."

Honestly I had the same thought.  I didn't understand the significance until Jesse had the gun pointed at him.

A very familiar reaction that has occurred numerous times in Breaking Bad occurred again this last episode:

I've been a bit frustrated with the show ever since the reveal that they go into Witness Protection and the whole series turns into a Malcolm in the Middle prelude.

2020 will be the year I gave up all hope.
