They stopped at the intersection where the guy's truck ran out of gas to find the spot. My guess is Lydia already knew the train's measurements and cargo specifics, but not the schedule. It also explains why Jesse was stoked when they reached the perfect spot (bridge, easy place to hide a tank underneath).
Oh yeah, when Walt said how will we know which one he was referring to which train to rob. "They (trains) don't advertise their contents."
I know some of the characters were on Scarface, but a few of them were also on Seinfeld. I know there's like a million characters on Seinfeld, but its still pretty neat.... The Mom and Pop Store episode was one of my top five favorite episodes...Tim Watley lol.... "You got a problem with Woody Woodpecker?" "Yeah, what is he, some sort of an instigator?" "That's right, he's a troublemaker."-kramer "Hey, I've got Jon Voight's LeBaron." "Boss!"-kramer <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/i6FbQyYloRY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I just powered through all the episodes in about a week and am now all caught up. The thing that I find interesting that no one has mentioned yet is the contrast between Jesse and Walt. For Walt the title Breaking Bad is appropriate, but Jesse is the opposite. He is Breaking Good. I could not stand Jesse at the beginning and could not understand why Walt did not get rid of him. He was on drugs, made stupid decisions, had a flashy car and was all about making fat stacks of cash. Now he drives a ****ty car, he has been willing to give away his money more than once. He is clean and he is making smart decisions. The last two episodes he is the one who came up with the plans. The catalyst to Jesse's turnaround was the death of his girlfriend. Walt on the other hand is obsessed with getting more money. He bought expensive cars. He is making bad decisions. I think he will descend into drug abuse and debauchery. I have a feeling that this descent will be fueled by the death of his son brought on by one of his bad decisions. In the end I think Jesse will be happy with a family and Walt will be alone, on drugs and shunned by his family. They will have transformed into how the other started the series.

Just a hunch...his son gets in a car wreck, then sky goes more insane... And Tod means death in German .... "brilliant Vince"
I enjoy some of the more poignant moments, too. I was watching season 2, and there's a scene where Walt goes to a bar and runs into the dad of Jesse's girlfriend, the air traffic controller. And they start talking about water on Mars, and such, and you get the feeling that they probably would've become good friends if they struck up a friendship following that meeting. You always think that, eventually, the quiet, intellectual, and humorous Walt would win out and he'd find a way to enjoy life without breaking bad. But it's the pride...that's what will eventually kill him. A Macbethian tragedy.
it really feels like his pride/small heartedness lead to the life he had before he started to 'break bad'. He could've been a reowned scientist but due to pride/ego issues he left the company and became an underpaid/underappreciated chemistry teacher.
Calling my shot. Tod kept that dead kids Spider. And in some way shape or for, that Spider will be the kids retribution.
His description of the buyout from Grey Matter is one of the keys to the whole thing. That's his driving motivation. You know, even with all his yelling at Skylar, his confrontation with Hank at the pool, his fights with Jessie, etc., I think the angriest he's ever been is when he uttered "f... you" to Gretchen at the diner table. I think they have to have a flashback as to why he left- it's either something worse than we imagine or it'll show how Walt caused it and he hates himself for it more than he hates others for screwing him over.
They've already talked and gone through it, him and that girl were in love, and he bailed on the company early, and she married his "other best fried"-it was some kind of love triangle, I'm guessing, and Walt didn't think he was getting respect, after all he made"grey matter", and his macbethianhubris made him leave in search for himself proving "them" wrong, that he could do better...it's all hubris, every loss in his life, and gain is from his hubris, and arrogance he has slowly been showed "his true flaws"
That's exactly what I thought when I saw he kept it. "Some way or another, that spider is getting Tod killed." Also, obviously Walt's "everybody wins" plan is going to go terrible, horribly, wrong.
What was the significance of Walt whistling? Jesse looked like he just realized something.. not sure. I really didn't understand that scene. Also, I think Walt has finally given up on Skyler. She's about as good as dead now.
It was after Walt said he was troubled by the boys death... then he proceeds to whistle as if nothing is wrong
Walt had just commiserated with Jesse about the dead boy, telling him how it had bothered him so much that he hadn't been able to sleep the past few nights. Yet, not a minute later, Walt is whistling as if he hasn't a care in the world. In that moment, Jesse must have realized that Walt was only empathizing as a means of manipulation, and that his priorities and morals have been fully compromised.
