Carl should not have been roaming around and playing with things he should not play with. Carl is finally dead. I cheered.
The new Walt does not have a problem killing kids. Jesse has always had a soft spot for kids. From this point onward, Jesse will start to drift away from Walt while Walt will come to realize that Tod better for his new 'empire" than Jesse. Todd does not have a problem doing "things" and the train heist has shown that he is competent as well.
Was the kid an actor from another show/movie? I find it funny that this week I'm calling the killer Landry because I just recently watched Friday Night Lights for the first time, I didn't even acknowledge the character the first time he was introduced in Breaking Bad.
Jesse vs Walt. Can't wait. Jesse has shown this season that he's a smart guy. The magnets and now the train. But he's always played the sidekick role... and has recently been the guy in the background as Mike and Walt argue. This should definitely change his character. Also, was anyone else hoping for more when Walt and Walt Jr were face to face? I was hoping that Walt Jr would at least so NO... but instead he listened and left.
Thought for sure Walt was gonna kill Todd after last week's preview. Didn't see that coming. Todd is my favorite character now.
Jesse: No one other than us can ever know that this robbery went down. Nobody, got it? Todd: Yeah, absolutely. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dQ4xMGmH9ho" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I sincerely hope the show doesn't turn into a Jesse vs Walt showdown. It would be a little hard for me to believe because they've been through so much together. Its been made apparent over the entirety of the show that the two have soft spots for each other. Even in this episode the pair exchanged proud and admiring glances while Jesse was explaing his robbery plan to Todd. I know Walt has "broken bad" and it would be easier for him to betray his partner but Jesse hasnt. Jesse still holds onto his morals even if it is by a thread. I can't see him wanting to or succeeding in taking down Walt. If anything he'll just drift away and split the business. Buuuuuut the writers can take this show about a hundred different ways from here so who knows what will happen. This episode was fantastic and if the rest of the season is on par, I will be an extremely satisfied viewer.
I thought this was by far the best episode of the series. I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time. The planting of the bug in Hanks office was great, the back and forth was beyond stellar in the basement of the warehouse, the plan was genius, and the end was shocking.
The best part though was immediately after they saw the kid. The stunned silence on their faces as they were debating what to do. Epic.
