[Br]eaking [Ba]d season 5!
WARNING: This thread goes at the pace of a U.S. time zone, so be sure and catch up with all episodes of season 5 before viewing because we will not be using spoiler tags. Expect spoilers from past seasons in here as well. Also, keep all unaired information to yourselves, please.
Sooo, what do you guys think will happen in season 5... the final season of such a great show? It really can go anywhere now. Season 4 left us with Gus dead, which means Walt and Jesse are free to move on. Get back to their normal lives. But obviously this doesn't happen or there would not be another season. I just love this show, which is why I would like to discuss it with you guys. I find it interesting to watch a protagonist slowly turn into an antagonist. I think once Walt is fully bad, like lost forever, is when he will die. I'm expecting him to go into full Heisenberg mode in season 5. The series has been about him becoming bad, so I think it's time we finally see him fully evolved. Also, the fact that they are going to end the series before it goes stale is pretty noble in my opinion. I would rather it end on a high note than become drawn out like most other shows.
Alright guys, feel free to discuss!
Official season 5A synopsis His transformation from a well-meaning family man into Heisenberg, a ruthless drug kingpin, is almost complete. No longer under the thumb of a mastermind criminal, Walt now assumes the role of one himself, as he and Jesse look to build their own empire. Meanwhile, Skyler struggles with the reality of her husband’s new role and Hank works to wrap up his investigation of Gus’ business.

Help advertise season 5 with these sigs! I'm sure there are more Breaking Bad fans on this site:
Enough foreplay, Walt has tried season after season to live like a normal man. Remember his pathetic attempts to reform after the plane crash? For ages, we've seen signs that this is not just a means of providing for his family but a way for him to feel powerful. Walter White is an emasculated nobody, henpecked by his wife, patronised by his brother-in-law and mocked by his students. Heisenberg is an ice cold killer who makes the best meth in New Mexico. For ages we've seen subtle hints of this personality and I think that his murder of Gus and his reaction to it: I won. Means that he is finally ready to embrace his role in the world and become the new drug kingpin.
They stated that their aim in this show was to turn a mild mannered guy into Tony Montana, it's time to see that. We know he can kill without a second thought, we know he has no qualms about sending others to kill for him or potentially murdering a child for his own ends.
He's reached that point where it makes sense for Walter to take over completely and become a massive drug baron. We've been teased with the prospect for ages and now comes the payoff.

Agreed sir. Walt is too far gone now, there's no turning back for him. His morality is unfix-able at this point, so I think it's time for him to just embrace who he is. I think Walt has always been a bad guy deep down, it just took cancer for this side to be unleashed. I believe "Heisenberg" will make his presence known in season 5. Walt's pride will be his downfall... mark my words. I can't wait to see the confrontation between Walt and Hank. This has been building up since the beginning and I am very, very curious to see how it plays out.
I have a prediction that Walt will kill Hank in order to protect himself. How crazy would that be?

I agree this will probably happen. But I'm more inclined to believe that Walt will kill him simply because he has always resented Hank. Remember the party? How Walt got drunk and told his son to stop treating Hank like his Dad? He's got a lot of hang-ups and paranoia, like a lot of criminals I think Walt confuses love with ownership. It's not enough to have a loving family, he has to be the big man, the alpha male. Hell, he had a chance, a perfectly good chance, to take money from friends of his and get the medical treatment he needed. But he turned it down, because he always acts on ego. And throughout a lot of his life, I think Hank has made Walt feel inadequate as a man and a father. I think he's going to kill him out of pure spite. He's got that hatred bubbling up inside him.

You're right. I can see how he would do it out of spite. Hank has always kinda belittled him. I was watching the first season again not too long ago, and Hank bashes on him alot. This feeling has been building up for so long inside Walt. Who knows what Walt would do after if he does kill him. He will probably feel really bad or laugh hysterically again. I swear, that laugh always gives me goosebumps when I hear it.
Mentions July 2012 at the last page of the article. That was posted very recently too. Oh, and apparently they begin filming season 5 here pretty soon.

Its really f*cked up that we have to wait till summer, this is one of the best crime tv series i had watched standing toe to toe with the wire and sopranos, but even that series had ups and downs, but breaking bad is so dynamic, you never know what will happen next.
Don't forget about Mike. They said that they would send a car for him in a couple days. I'm willing to bet that he makes a big return in Season 5 and will most likely be pissed.

It will be worth the wait, that's for sure. It's kinda sad that this will be the last season, but I gotta be honest, I'd rather them end it with a bang instead of milking it for more seasons. For now, all we can do is speculate. Which is half the fun imo!
And yes, definitely haven't forgotten about Mike. Who knows how he will react to Gus' death. I know he wouldn't want to draw attention to himself, he's too smart for that. He might end up as an enforcer for Walt.

Same here.
Glad they will finish on a high, rather than let this great show drag on.
As for what's next, I just hope they wrap things up nicely and don't focus too much on Skyler and the whole money laundering aspect of the story, that annoying bitch just gets on my nerves too much.
I'm hoping Jessie keeps clean, and it all ends happily for him.

I agree that Skyler can be annoying at times. She's an important part of the story though. The whole car wash money laundering scheme was her idea, so she's basically aiding a criminal. I can't wait to see what happens if Hank finds out about this. It's going to be like a greek tragedy for the whole White family, and it will be all Walt's fault. I'm gonna feel so sorry for junior.
And yes, Jesse deserves a happy ending. Walt has put him through alot. If Walt is gonna die, I hope Jesse is gonna be the one to kill him. That would be satisfying.

I watched the first episode on AMC that I ever have seen, I don't get the idea behind it other then more DRUG making, selling, using, ....well, somewhat, but that doesn't make a hit show in my mind. The more moving element involved a man "Walt" (Walter) dying of cancer and dealing with everyone else's perceptions about how to deal with something so personal, yet effecting family and friends as well

Can't believe you came in here to post that Slamman. Pretty much a spoiler fest in here, so I guess you don't mind.
But yeah, I mean that's what it's all about really. A good guy that slowly turns into a bad guy. That's the concept which makes it interesting and why it's a good show. Just seeing how far Walt will go for his family is great to watch. Although at this point I think he's doing it all for himself rather than his family. Gonna be interesting to see where season 5 takes us.

I'm wondering why the raves about it? I watched it in a curious state of mind, who wouldn't after reading the "fanboy" contingent here?, but I assume it's why the GTA storyline is popular among the game players, the drug trade is expected in a GTA game, but for me, not a reason why I play GTA, honest.
Not saying there's anything poorly done on the show, but just hearing about it, or seeing the DVD box, or ads, it's hard to figure out if a show is for you or not, since I normally watch standard FREE TV, it wasn't planned that I'd actually be watching it.

Was it the very first episode that you watched? It you was to sit down and watch the first few episodes, you would better understand everything. Then you would see what all the rave is about. That is, if you are truly inclined to do so and your not just rambling on. If you don't want anything spoiled about the show, I highly recommend you stay out of this thread. Oh, and one last thing. The show isn't just about the drugs. It's about the morality these characters go through when pushed into a corner. That's the real selling point. So yeah, stay out of here until you catch up. Post your thoughts of the show in the TV discussion thread.
@Topic: Who else here fully expects Walt to enter Scarface mode in season 5?

I am surprised no ones going off about the end shot of episode 13, the f*cking lily's! I don't want to believe Walt would of done such a thing to manipulate Jesse but he's crossed so many lines already whats to say he wouldn't cross that one.

When I found out that Walt would actually poison a child in order to protect his family, I was utterly speechless for at least 10 min. I just couldn't belive it! Sure, maybe he knew alot about this plant and the chances the kid had to live, but he still risked it. Horrible thing to do. I hope they do a flashback that shows how Walt ended up doing it.
Walt has let Jane die and now he poisoned a child that is dear to Jesse. Once Jesse finds out about this who knows what he will do.
P.S. way to contribute there Slamman...

I was watching the Remastered Behind the Music episodes only hours ago, a Breaking Bad star mentioned in a faked movie trailer for a film that never existed, based on the life of Weird Al Yankovic, Funny or Die channel on YouTube.

Seriously Slamman the majority of the time I can ignore you, but for f*ck sake. What the hell does any of that have to do with the f*cking final season of Breaking Bad, what does that post you just made offer towards the discussion ? f*ck all. Jeez man stop with the f*cking spam
OT: Like many others I hope we see the final stage of his metamorphosis from average joe to drug kingpin. Though Skyler is not just going to let it happen, as he did say to her that it was over and that "He won".
