    ...Then we gotta wait until summer of '13 for the last half! Annoying, but on the good side, I guess it's like having two more seasons.

          not really season 6 sopranos was really 2 full seasons of shows, 12 eps + 9 eps all a solid hour each not 16 eps of 40 min per, big difference IMO they could have called it season 6 and 7 if they really wanted

                    I don't think there's a moment I'm waiting for MORE than Hank finally actually realizing that Walt is Heisenberg. I am gonna lose my shit when that finally happens, it should be amazing! The writers better not cheat us out of that, because I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes his nemesis has been his own brother-in-law this whole time.

                      Love this damn show! It is crazy they can keep it going at such a high level. A lot of series fall off by this time. Walt is a bonafide badass.

                        Yeah I think this season will be about Hank finding Gus' security camera footage of Walt and Jesse. I don't know how it'll play out but it'll have to be pretty badass to top the Gus storyline season.

                              Heard that. Gus and the mexican mafia had been delt with. Walts family had the carwash to take care of them. Jesse had kinda delt with his demons.

                              But I hope they go balls out this season. Walt will die.

                                  Yeah, I'm pretty sure Walt poisoned the kid... It's been a while now, but I'm pretty sure that in the podcast from the creators, they said that was the idea. That Walt had gone all out to get Jesse on his side. He probably figured it wouldn't kill the kid and would be worth it to bring Jesse back... I didn't like it at all at first, but I guess Walt has finally crossed that moral line we didn't think he'd cross.

                                  I actually need to totally refresh my memory on everything before the new season starts... it's easy to forget after a while.

                                  Great avatar, by the way! The Heisenberg drawing, love it.

                                    Yeah the premise makes sense but the doctor did mention that the plant is extremely common and the cut to the pic of it growing in his backyard could have been a red herring thrown in to screw with people's minds. I hate to sound delusional but I feel like I know Walt well enough at this point to think that this is beyond him, but like you said if he believed that the kid would be fine and it would help save more kids lives with Gus out of the way then I could see him justifying the act. Even without the poisoning Jesse does have enough reason to kill Walt in a fit of rage, he did let his girlfriend die afterall.

                                    Yeah thanks, Heisenberg is a bad mofo couldnt resist the avatar.

                                      An early scene showed Walt in his backyard looking at something and an idea suddenly comes over him..Later they show Walt in the backyard and then show the plant. Clearly Walt poisoned the kid.

                                        Yeah, that's right. It's 100%. It's funny though, I mean how could Walt be so sure that Jesse would believe him that it was Gus who would poison the kid, what would Gus's reason have been? Although what the heck would Walt's reason have been either? Poor Jesse, manipulated by everyone. I actually can't even remember how the whole think got out of control, with Walt feeling he needed to kill Gus; I mean why couldn't they all just keep working together, why did they feel they had to kill Walt or why did Walt think that? Damn, I need a refresher. Well, plenty of time before July 15.

                                        Here's a fun question, what was everyone's favorite one scene or one moment from the four seasons? I know mine, one of my all-time favorite moments in television, I will go find it on YouTube.

                                                That's a great pick, offshore, I thought about that one too!

                                                I think the actress who plays Skylar doesn't get enough credit. Not only is Bryan Cranston awesome in that scene, but she is perfect too... Look at her reaction after Walt goes into his I'm-the-Man rant, it's absolutely perfect. She's horrified, she's like Who IS this guy, what happened to my husband?

                                                    I honestly think Hank has had a beat on Walt since the last few episodes of the final seasons but is playing it very low...we'll see how it unfolds.

                                                            Dkid and Sunde, great picks. Sunde, I was just watching that scene earlier, it's so awesome. Love how Walt starts out in his natural "teacher" mode... but then thinks about it more and clicks into Heisenberg mode. "Stay out of my territory." So awesome.

                                                            Stig, that scene is super well done, but a little brutal to be one of my "faves," lol.

                                                              Something to do with Walt driving over the 2 drug dealers that killed a kid. Killing the kid pissed Jesse off, Jesse and Walt went to Gus and had a sit down, thinking Gus would kill his 2 guys. He didn't, so Jesse went to shoot them, while he was walkign up, Walt came out of nowhere and drove over them. That pissed Gus off....I can't remember who the kid was tho'..I think it was the little brother to the poisoned kids mom. (I know it was the kid on the bike who killed Jesses fat friend.)

                                                                    It really should win best Series at the next emmys. I don't think it was eligible last year because it aired in Summer. Boardwalk Empire and Man Men are really the only other shows I watch and BB is better than both. Mad Men has run its course. Seeing dumb shit like "Homeland" win Golden Globe while BB is not even nominated is just unexplainable

As for Gus, as soon as he had his first scene in the chicken store (before we knew he was a kingpin), I knew he was a main character and probably a kingpin because I recognized Giancarlo Esposito immediately -- how could anyone forget Buggin' Out from Do The Right Thing??!
