Best show ever (Six feet under apart) , sorry Japie my deep thoughts won't fill it. And i always thought Cat suffered from the Skyler syndrom, "mom i hate you, and you didn't even wash up my jeans, you whore !"

AMC’s Breaking Bad returned last night with the first of its eight final episodes, delivering 5.9 million viewers, the most in series history and up 102% over the show’s season five premiere last summer.
Lets pull that out. The show doubled its audience from last summer, which is really pretty remarkable, and a strong indication that a great number of people have caught up on the Breaking Bad in the past year. The ratings increase serves as a great example of the power of word of mouth on a series such as this one, as many caught up with Breaking Bad via Netflix, DVD and Blu-ray.
With 3.6 million viewers among adults 18-49, Breaking Bad is second only to AMC’s The Walking Dead in delivery to this key demographic, across all cable networks. With the success of these two shows, AMC is now home to cable’s top two dramas among adults 18-49
Jesse's attitude really has become stale now, we've seen this before and it's slightly lazy to revert back to him looking sullen and making stupid decisions again. I thought when Gus and Mike took Jesse under their wing it was going to lead to him growing as a person and becoming a smarter criminal but nope seems like I was wrong.
One small issue I do have is with how quickly Hank and Marie have turned on Walt and Skylar, after years of knowing each other it's suddenly become black and white with a click of the fingers, sure things will get heated but when it comes to family you don't just hate them instantly. I can sympathize with Hank more because it could have huge ramifications for his career.
Jesse has been a non-factor in season 5, which is a pity because he pretty much stole the show in the first 4 seasons. Looks like an awesome scene is coming up though, Hank and Jesse together is always fireworks.
I don't have an issue with Hank&Marie turning on Walt&Skyler at all. Marie just flipped out knowing Skyler knew about all the shit when her husband was shot, she's choosing closest family first now.
Uff Skyler was soooo good this episode (hated her pretty much the rest of the show), she saved this episode imo, together with the Huell-scene. All the other scenes were pretty much lame, especially the opening, meth-lab shootout and Walt not getting the Belize reference, it's like he is a mastermind in one episode and the biggest derp in the other one.

I was like:
And then the credits rolled!.....Arghhh!

Personally I've never been a huge fan of Jesse, he's always irritated me.
Am I the only person who doesn't find Walter a monster? All of the media who review the episodes keep referring to him as a monster and I just don't see it. To me he's always been a man who's went to extreme measures to care for his family.

Walter is not a monster. He is sincerely doing this to make sure his family is well taken care of. He just went too far and couldn't figure out how to stop. And fuck everyone else. Fuck them. Except Hank, who is going to fuck him, because "he's family."

Jesse grew a brain and some balls.
Yes I loved the reverse-confession scene, that was riveting and oh so well done.
This season is nailing the cliffhangers, I keep forgetting the show is 45 mins and not an hour!

There is an interesting theory about that Skyler's fate Cary, I'll put it in spoilertags because it can contain huge spoilers if the theory is true. If you don't want to know, then don't read!:
Spoiler
In Breaking Bad, Walt has a habit of taking on some little traits of the people he has killed.When Walt killed Crazy 8, he started cutting off the crusts of his sandwiches — just as Crazy 8 had done.
Gus drives a Volvo. After Walt kills Gus, at the beginning of Season 5 (at the Denny’s), Walt is driving a Volvo (w/ NH plates).
When Mike and Walt meet at a bar in an earlier season, Walt orders his drink neat while Mike has his on the rocks. After Mike is killed, and Hank offers Walt a drink in his office — he asks for it on the rocks.
At that same scene at Denny’s, Walt arranges his bacon into his new age. Someone else used to do that. On top of that, he’s using Skyler’s maiden name on his fake ID.
Based on his history of picking up traits from his victims — I believe Walt is going to murder Skyler before the series is over, and it probably had already happened before he showed up at the Denny’s in the Season 5 cold open.
In episode 509, he put the little towel on the floor when he was throwing up, something Gus did when he killed all of the cartel-bosses.

This is gonna get VERY ugly,....and I can't wait to see how it all goes down.
I still have a feeling Walt doesn't have it in his heart to kill Jessie, he loves him like a son. You're right though with Walt calling Todd and asking for his crazy supremacists relatives things will get ugly. Something tells me either Marie or Skylar won't make it till the last episode.

1. With the firepower Todd's relatives and their crew were packing I find it hard to believe that not one single bullet clipped Gomez or Hank, perhaps they're leaving it till the next episode but still it made me think of that scene from Pulp Ficition " we should be fucking dead."
2. Did Hank really have enough evidence to arrest Walt? I take it Hank recorded the call between Walt and Jessie and that was enough?

Now I have to wait another week
1. I agree that was a RAPID FIRE shotgun that opened on Hank...I expected him to be dead right away. Still...no idea how they will get outta this...they are outgunned all the way.
2. They did just find the money, once that puzzle piece is in place all other evidence will line up against Hank.
WOW what a cliffhanger...amazing stuff!...now lemme go see Dexter and watch a Tv show completely fail at a finale season...

I am rooting for the nazis, I really want them to kill Hank, Gomez and Jesse (and find Marie and cut her to pieces too) for being such smug little pussy bastards. Yes, I just said I am rooting for the nazis, that's what this show does to you.

Well technically the money is still burried, Walt discovered Hank's plot before he had time to dig it up.
