I didn't set one, but someone else is having the same issue. Try again? Then try "remembermyname" - if that doesn't work, I'm going to quickly find a substitute location...

If they got that confrontation between Hank and Walt out of the way in the first ep, can you imagine what's to come in the next 7??
Dean Norris was amazing in that opening scene.
When Walt said he's just a dying man running a car wash, what did Hank say?? I didn't catch it.
I wonder if Hank has figured out that Skylar is in on it. Probably.

Also, Walt's behaviour with Lydia in the car wash reminded me of Gus in his chicken restaurant.

There's another parallel too, remember how Walt chatted up those DEA agents just like Gus Fring used to do?

yeah, well, Walt is getting off on being the KingPin now, consciously or unconsciously

Aaaaaah! I have so many feelings! In fact, I have all the feelings. Aaaaah!!!

I love how Walt's neighbor Carol was petrified in the opener. And that big Heisenberg scrawled on the wall of their abandoned home? All of Walt's crimes have become _public knowledge_ by the end of the series.

It was also unbelievable how the confrontation between Walt and Hank happened so damn early in the last 8 episodes. Never expected that. It felt like I was holding my breath for the entire last 10 minutes of that episode.

Hey, did anybody notice how the Whites were wearing mainly white as they were operating the car wash? Seems like there was some whitewashing going on there.

Yup, same! I'm still recovering from all my feels by spending the rest of the night trawling over BB articles and tumblring. It's one thing to know in theory that they were going to proceed things quickly, another thing entirely to see it in action...and how far they were going to go ( ... )

Yes, "yet", Although he doesn't actually need the hat anymore. He's Heisenberg through and through.

If Walt and Skyler were trying to blend in, they would just go back to their old clothes, which were anything but beige. Sky's signature color has always been blue, which I think is a reference to Madonna paintings. Walt's has always been green. Envious much? But now with them both wearing creamy white they look prosperous and tidy as well as matchy-matchy at the car wash. Both on the same page, perhaps.

It was darkly humorous to have Walt managing such things as the placement of the air fresheners and saying things like "Have an A1 day!" Especially to a black-clad Lydia who was driving a similarly-colored sedan.

Also, has anyone noticed the "right hand to God" phrase that's peculiar to this series? It's rarely used, but I think this is the first time Walt consciously uses it to try and manipulate Hank.

Hank and Walt's confrontation blew me away. I thought they'd build up to that - Hank getting more evidence and then the confrontation happening in the last couple eps. But, holy shit, what are the next 7 eps going to be like?????

It's hard not to speculate about the end, but one thing's for sure Vince has got a lot in store for us.

Anyone watch Talking Bad? Loved Julie Bowen fangirling it up. :D
