Breaking Bad: Season 4 Discussion Thread.

My reaction when the bomb went off and Gus walked out of the room
"**** OFF!"
then they pan around and you see half his face missing
"HOLY SHIT!"

Here's some good stuff with Vince Gilligan going through each episode of Season 4

And like others in those posts indicated "when?" could he have done it?

This. If Jesse's original hunch was true - that Saul's crony took the smoke off of him somehow when he was searching him - then obviously Saul signed on to Walt's plan to poison the kid as well.

I did think someone was gonna bust up Walt and Jesse on the rooftop at the end. You could hear skipping like what happens when you drive the corners of parking lots too fast. I thought someone was burning rubber up to the top to catch them.

I think he would have swapped Jesse's pack of cigarettes for a new pack of cigarettes.

That's why it was so important for them to get Jesse to Saul's office. Also we know that Saul knows the kid and visits the house because he drops off money from Jesse to the mother.

So that would mean that Walt convinced Saul he would be in danger if Gus lived.

re: gus's man not finding the bomb.

i think maybe walter hadn't fastened the bomb to the wheelchair yet thinking gus would send someone to do a sweep first to make sure things were clear for gus to proceed.

after he did the check, walter probably climbed back in the window and installed the bomb.

also i bet we get one of those before the opening credits flashback scenes laying out how walt poisoned brock and what happened with the cigarettes. this show doesn't hesitate to let us in on intricate details like that.

and gus must live on in flashbacks! such a great character

Hmmm... two interesting and obvious questions being asked in the IMDB board (which sucks btw):

How did Tyrus miss the bomb?

And

Where Jesse and Walt being watched at the rooftop of the hospital? if they were at all? I understand that they use camera angles to provide a different view, but it seemed as tho it was a POV not just a usage of a camera angle.

Could it be the FBI?

or..... perhaps Mike?

Tryus wasn't looking for a bomb. He was sweeping for bugs. What possible reason would he have for thinking there was a bomb when the guy just returned from the DEA? Remember, the guy is in a wheelchair, can't move, and all his friends are dead. Gus is not aware Walter knows him. It was an oversight.

I feel most of the things that happened tied up loose ends. I just want to know where Gus went after he didn't get his car. He left, Walt got the bomb back. Did Gus go back inside the hospital? They never did a scene that showed why he didn't get in his car.

He went and found another way home. He just didn't trust the car.

I always thought Tyrus looked like Chris Bosh

The bomb wasn't in the room yet.
When the room is being swept for bugs you see Walt outside the window of the room. He was holding the bomb.

Mind. Blown.

Did anyone else find the scene when the old lady was saying "Hi" "Hello" to Walt disturbing as ****?

Good finale to Breaking Bad, played out exactly as I expected.

I'm very interested to see what happens to the meth production.

Both cartels have been destroyed, but the demand remains. Walt and Jesse no longer have the means to produce the blue stuff on a large scale.

Do they go back to producing small batches and sell it for a premium price? Or do they just abandon it altogether?

I'm hoping for the latter. The seeds for Walt's downfall have already been sown. There's really no need to devote a bunch of time to continued meth production.

Did anybody find The old Gangster's reaction hilarious when the Nurse didn't get "DEA"? I waas rolling....Also, the face he made before blowing up Gus was priceless - he went out like a true G.

[Bless Mathews]

I don't remember if i saw his brain blown out though. Noticed half of his face, but was his brain blown out????? He could be alive if just his face was blown put .

Dude. Gus is dead. Heisenberg won, and Walt's dead.
