^^If that isn't an "oh, shit!" moment then I don't know what is.

There are basically two major conflicts that I'm hoping to see blowing up this season:
-- Walt vs. Jessie: I mean, hasn't the whole series been moving towards this from day one? It feels like it's inevitable that their relationship will eventually break down and they'll become enemies, especially with all the stuff that Walt has done but Jessie doesn't know about yet.
-- Walt vs. Hank: I mean, this is probably the thing that I'm most excited about. I've been waiting for this forever and from the looks of the teasers, I think it's finally gonna start happening. Every time I think about the two of them confronting each other, I have to change my pants.
In addition, I'm hoping for some major destruction in Walt's life. I hope that doesn't sound blood thirsty or something, but really, things should start getting hardcore. It's the only thing that makes sense. He's been able to maintain a semi-decent amount of stability and pretend to live a normal life, but it seems like it's only a matter of time before something really horrible happens, like one of his kids gets killed or something like that. Nobody runs a drug empire without experiencing some pretty major sacrifices.
I have high expectations for this season. I'm looking forward to this more than any movie or album or anything. I'm hoping for a pretty mind-blowing conclusion that leaves me destroyed.

*Spoilers if you are not completely caught up and/or you don't want to know anything about season five.*
I swear to God, I clicked that picture and at first I was like, Spoiler: "Yeah...so Hank's walking again, so what? We saw that in the clip." Then I looked around at the room he was in and I was like, "Wait a second...where is he?" Then, a couple seconds later, it clicked and I yelled "HOLY SHIT!" so loud I startled the person in the next room. Yes. That is a holy shit moment if there ever was one.

Still trying to figure out where that is. Looks familiar, but I can't place my finger on it...
Edit - Spoiler: NM. I looked at the clock and figured it out

Season six? Really?
Active Member
Yeah WTF. I thought Season 5 was just being split up. I didn't know they were considering it two seasons. Pointless. Just air the fifth season all at once.
Add Violins
Well the way they split it up, it was ridiculous to consider them both to be season 5. the word season would lose all meaning. it essentially is two seasons, so all they're really doing is being honest and calling it what it is.
BADGERS
Yeah, seperate seasons means more in dvd $ales.
Hope it comes down to walt and hank. Theyve been putting it off for too long, and that makes a clean climax.
Add Violins
maybe the final episode could be a mexican standoff between walt, jessie and hank. and then they all shoot each other at the exact same time and everyone dies together while ennio morricone plays.
BADGERS
I dont know that i want to see a rivalry with Jesse. I feel like they tried to go there already and it didnt work so well. I especially am kind of tired of the off/on thing jesse has with Meth. I recognize that its realistic, but it gets kind of tiresome and predictable.
Active Member
Well, it seems like they're pulling a Sopranos and Nip/Tuck move. Air half of the season now, call it part one, release the DVDs, then air part two. Sucks, because the entire season seems completely finished, but they want to drag this out for another year (in other words, AMC wants to capitalize on it as much as they.can before it all comes to an end) . Oh well... I'll consider them two seasons. Just sucks to wait another year for the other half that's just sitting around.
But.I'd imagine since it's split into two parts, they'll technically be mini-seasons anyway. I figure Hank will catch onto Walt at the end of the first half. Then the aftermath in the second half.

For some reason the fact that they're now calling it two seasons makes the year wait a little easier for me to stomach. Still blows, but it's better to call it season 6 than "the last 8 episodes of season 5 that we waited a fucking year to air"
Active Member
I kinda wonder if the first half is Walt VS Hank, and end with Walt killing Hank. Then the final part could be about Skylar handling the knowledge that Walt killed her brother, and possibly trying to take him down herself. Or someone else kills Hank but Skylar thinks it's Walt anyways.
Active Member
They're not all done yet. They don't start shooting the second half of the season (or season six or whatever the hell they end up calling it) until November.
That's the way I see it going, too. But every time I've tried to predict this show I've been dead wrong, so...who knows?But.I'd imagine since it's split into two parts, they'll technically be mini-seasons anyway.

Theruiner is correct. Read them dang interviews and such before raging.
Also did everyone forget about the funding fiasco that decided that the season would be split into two 8 episode parts? AMC wanted to cut funding on Season 5 and have it be less episodes than the normal 13 and then the show is done. They negotiated it into two 8 episode seasons instead.

Vince Gilligan says there might be a Saul Goodman spin-off
That, um...hmmm. I don't know about that. Seems like that's a bit overboard. Then again, I love Saul, so...yeah, actually, I still think it's a bad idea.
Of course, that's on top of the potential movie Cranston hinted at (that probably will never happen).
Active Member
That, I could understand, considersiding everything that happened between AMC and Mad Men. Either AMC's struggling (they shouldn't be), or they're getting greedy.
Stubby Member
Well Dircetv just dropped AMC so I imagine the channel itself(not the amazing shows) is suffering.
Stubby Member
the first episode will stream live on AMC.com yay I will get to see it without torrenting it!

The A.V. Club interviews Aaron Paul; says fifth season will be a "bloodbath."
Edit:
More goodness.
Dave from the Slash Filmcast has started a Breaking Bad podcast. Can't wait.
Also, yet another article on the show, this one talking about how it's one of the best shows ever. I have no idea if there are spoilers for past seasons in there or not since I haven't read it yet, so...be careful if you're not totally caught up.

You about gave me a heart attack when I read that statement! I checked and directv still has AMC. Don't know where you're getting that info. They dropped a lot of channels but not AMC.
Active Member
Think you guys might be referring to dish network. I remember seeing commercials pleading for people to call them to keep AMC on the network.
Active Member
Dish dropped AMC, Direct dropped ALL of the Viacom channels.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Jesse call more people bitch this season.
Active Member
Oh, nothing. Just another brand new trailer.

I am too drunk to fully comprehend the full scope of how awesome that is. However, I came 8 times.
Stubby Member
Damn I only came once. The Fleetwood Mac song was a nice touch. Can't wait!
