The Official BREAKING BAD Thread!

Skylar totally potatoed out regarding the money. All you need to do is grab a small sample, figure out the average value, weigh it, and do some elementary school math to estimate the value of the total.

Apparently you went full potato. She explained that the stacks were all different denominations of bills...

Gale gets his revenge! the first half of this season was great. i actually thought they were going to kill off Mike on this "finale" instead of the previous episode, but boy was this a better way to end it. such a cliffhanger can't wait til' next year. Dexter & Walking Dead will have to hold me over til' then. btw i still don't trust this Todd guy Walt has been cooking with..

Sample size would have reasonably estimated the pile of money if she literally had no clue how much it was. The problem is, like you point out, the stacks are all in different denomination of bills. So let's say they take a sample size of three stacks from one corner and the three stacks have 20s, 10s, and 5s. This is obviously not going to give a good result because the rest of the bills could be 100s. The more random, large the sample size, the greater the accuracy.

She should just man up and count each bill herself; it's not like she does anything all day.

kinda feels like they left it like they did in order to be able to cancel the show before making the last 8 episodes if they have to, without there being mass complaints about there not being a sufficient ending. walt's out (it never got explained how, but he said he was out so technically they dont have to show how, he just did it behind the scenes), jessie's paid, the family's back together, and they left a perfectly ambiguous 'make up your own mind about the ending' kind of ending. the entire premise of the show is that it's about a chemistry teacher who gets diagnosed with cancer and so cooks meth in order to raise enough money to support his family once he's gone. - walt has enough money now, so the aim has been achieved and they could easily end it like that, with the inception style ending with hank.

... but they better f*cking not do. the amount of sh*t that can now go down will surely be outstanding to watch. a year is too long

or just use the shut off valve underneath

this shows too much of a money maker to be cancelled.. the episode 8 ending is gonna hype up the final part next year.. pretty sure its gonna triple the number of viewers..

They already showed a scene from next season. When Walt was in the diner and seemingly on the run. Interesting theory though.

This is American television. Highly rated shows don't get cancelled early here. They usually go on way too long if anything.

There will be 8 episodes next year. 100% guaranteed.

LOL not even remotely true.


Unless by rated u mean viewers rather than critical rating

The scene where Skylar asks Walt Jr to put sunscreen on the baby is symbolic of her trying to shield the family, from the ****-storm that is about to happen

It's foreshadowing that Holly will get skin cancer and then take over Walt's meth empire in a spinoff show

why the **** would it be cancelled? It's by far the biggest show on AMC. yeah they're going to cancel it and replace it with Small Town Security, you dumbass

thoroughly disgusted at what has become of my mind

[Pslim23]

Not sure if serious. He did the EXACT same thing in season 1 during the scene where Skylar is painting the baby's room. The call was from his friend, Louis. This guy



Walt Jr's best friend and frequently referenced character.

Your post is riddled with inaccuracies.

spoiler?






flynn is gay and his lover is Louis. walt finds out and he dont accept it making flynn choose Louis or the family. flynn and louis moves away and walt tracks him (reference to opening scene of season 5). he buys the gun and kills his son and his lover.

LOL i lost it

[OutKlast]

Next season is going to be interesting on two fronts, #1 - How Walt "got out", and #2 - How Hank deals with the knowledge that WW is Heisenberg.

#1 - No way Walter could just get out like he claims. That would put his family in huge risk. The US/Czech gangs, especially the US people Walt sells to know who he is but they don't kill him or harm him because he supplies the higher margin purer blue meth. He can't just one day say he is retiring. At that point Walt has zero leverage. If he quits they don't get blue meth, if they kill Walt they don't get blue meth. I think Walt may have trained Todd enough to do the cooks and Walt is collecting a "franchise fee" of sorts. Now that he knows he has more money than Skylar can launder he can do what she did and just get a storage unit and toss the cash in there. I can't see Walt handing over a 9 figure - 100+ million dollar - meth operation over to the neo nazi's that Todd is linked with.

#2 - Hank is in a tough spot. He can't just arrest or start an investigation on Walt unless he wants to lose his job. Hank got his job because the previous commander guy let Gus, the meth kingpin, get too close. Hank mentioned that he sometimes wishes he wasn't in the DEA in this last episode. So its possible Hank will just quit rather than being fired/investigated. Also, if Hank thinks a little deeper he will remember someone has been protecting him from danger. Now that he knows that was probably Walt there may be some sympathy.


To some degree I feel like ending on the Hank scene is a bit of misdirection. Everyone is focusing on what Hank will do next season but I think that will take a back seat to issue #1, Walt getting out of the business. I can't see Walt getting a huge heavy machine gun to go against the DEA. He could lawyer up with the best lawyers money can buy and probably avoid any serious jail time. Everything is very circumstantial. But the drug dealers that Walt works with, the US gangs, the Czechs? Those are people that are not polite or subtle in their ways.

[Robody]

It's payback time. I predict The Shield like ending where carma catches up. Walts killed 9 cons, Moto kid, airliner full of people, Jesse girl and tons of others

We all want him to live happily ever after but shield or soprano ending must be coming viz hank
