REALLY need to start watching this show. I hate being out of the loop!
Slightly off-topic, but it looks like Mad Men is getting the Breaking Bad treatment. Series finale now broken into two 7-episode seasons. Won’t conclude now til 2015. That’s kind of infuriating.
Yeah I bought BB season 5 last year, only to be told by the iTunes that these last episodes this year aren’t “season 5”, they are the “final season”. WTF. For all intents and purposes its the shows creators and AMC who did the crime, but Apple should have gone to bat for the customers. It was a complete deception, and I have no problems downloading the remaining episodes through torrents and fully welcome any action against me: hey, I paid for season 5.
Have to second the above comments regarding the realism. I started my career as a R&D process engineer in the pharma industry, and loved every single “cook” scene. My wife would have to tell me to shut up and just watch the show.

Me too…they make Uncle Jack et al basically the superheroes of evil, even if they are total hillbillies.
Gotta assume by now Heisenberg will be coming for justice…hopefully he doesn’t accidentally kill Jesse…
In other news, if you thought Uncle Jack or Todd were assholes, check out what iTunes sent me just now:
They wait until the LAST episode? Jerks. If they think I’m going to buy breaking bad with one episode left, they are fucking nuts. I’ll buy a new movie, thanks.
Fortunately my wife is a chemist so I didn’t have that problem…:-). For her, without a PhD (sorry, assumption here it’s the same for you), most don’t stay more than a few years in R&D or move to another group, unless they have the personality of Gale. Wow they nailed it too, with the Gale/Walt relationship.
Which made me think of another scene I LOVED…Carlo Rota did an awesome job
Ah Typical Apple move… All the diehard fanboys will still say how great they are for giving everyone the credit now. Too late to make up for it in my eyes.
Check this out… Final episode is titled “Felina” … some say Fe Li Na = Iron Lithium Sodium = Blood Meth Tears. Others say it’s an anagram of Finale. However, look at an excerpt from this old school cowboy song by Marty Robbins: El Paso.
[i]Back in El Paso my life would be worthless.
Everything’s gone in life; nothing is left.
It’s been so long since I’ve seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death.
I saddled up and away I did go,
Riding alone in the dark.
Maybe tomorrow
A bullet may find me.
Tonight nothing’s worse than this
Pain in my heart.
And at last here I
Am on the hill overlooking El Paso;
I can see Rosa’s cantina below.
My love is strong and it pushes me onward.
Down off the hill to Felina I go.
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys;
Off to my left ride a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting I can’t let them catch me.
I have to make it to Rosa’s back door.
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side.
Though I am trying
To stay in the saddle,
I’m getting weary,
Unable to ride.
But my love for
Felina is strong and I rise where I’ve fallen,
Though I am weary I can’t stop to rest.
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle.
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
From out of nowhere Felina has found me,
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side.
Cradled by two loving arms that I’ll die for,
One little kiss and Felina, good-bye.
[/i]
Skyler = Felina…I think Walt comes back, wants to kill Todd and the gang but tells the DEA that Jack and gang killed Hank and Gomez, realizing he cant avenge the death himself. He’s also pissed that the blue stuff is still being made, clearly a sign that they never killed Jesse. At some point Walt is lured back to Skyler’s new house and is caught in a trap with Jack on one side and the DEA on the other. Ends up with everyone blowing each other away and Walt dying with Skyler by his side.
First 5 years of my career I did the same job as other highly experienced PhD’s. They made over twice the salary I did. Really motivated me to go into management. Now they work for me. LOL
