Can anyone remember the link to that blog which shows when all the tv progs are on in the UK??

Not sure if it's the blog you are looking for but I've found http://www.geektown.co.uk/ to be very good for that sort of stuff.

Loved it.

Really glad they didn't have Skylar and Walt embrace, or Walt and Jesse make up.  Would totally contradict the fact that things had gone much too far and Walt had just changed so much.

The lasers and the Walt/Skylar scene top the bunch.  Loved the manic scene of Jesse as he left too, you see he's as much as a victim of Walt as everyone else and is mentally messed up.

Gonna have to find something else to watch now.

Can't wait for the finale.  Great set up episode, geared down perfect from the previous one to gear up again.  I still have no idea who's getting the Ricin but I don't think it's Lydia.

Pretty sure Walt is checking out, via cancer, bullet, Jesse or Ricin.  I think Jesse is gonna make it somehow.

On the last episode, the one and only time I've been taken out of a Breaking Bad episode when the guy from the Cinema Mobile Phone ads turned up.  For a split second was looking for anything orange.

I'm torn between if he is intending to ever come back right now.  I think not but he did say 'I still have things to do.'  And I think the money is immaterial right now, with Hank dying it showed him that his money can't buy everything.

Also can not see him hurting anyone in his family, that really would make no sense.  I do however think that something is going to happen to Sky/Walt JR/Marie to prompt him to return.

I think if he substantially increased his betting, including asking for the Max to be raised, purely due to the fault then that changes things for me and tips it towards cheating.

To use the cash machine example mentioned, if you go to the hole in the wall, ask for £50 and it's given you £100 instead then you've had a touch.  It's a pretty different spot if you are told about a machine giving out double money and go get in the queue for it on only that basis.  I think the law agrees as well.

The late Sir David Frost.  A credit to him how well he used the luck of who he was at University with.

[It's not like he just lurked around famous people until he convinced someone to give him a plum job.]

I feel the need to defend Michael Mcintyre.  Whether you like his comedy style or not you can't deny that the guy really worked the circuit and his talent connects with a decent portion of the public.  It's not like he just lurked around famous people until he convinced someone to give him a plum job.

thats fair, clearly a very very hard worker who has maximised his opportunity.

the fact that it is derivative and bland is irrelevant really

While I also believe that McIntyre is a hard worker, his father was a successful TV comedy writer, which I'm sure helped a little.

Agree with both of you.  I'm not exactly a fan of his mass market comedy but I am amazed by how someone who seems pretty inoffensive can get such ferment derision, mainly from peers.

And for these reasons I would like to nominate Nick Grimshaw for the thread.  If you don't know who he is, I envy you.

Ozymandias.  Apt genius.  Such a cliché but this show is just getting better and better towards the end.

The phone call was so beautiful, the moment where the audience twigs, the moment where Sky twigs, the emotion on both sides of the line.  To my mind one of the most perfectly written screen scenes.

Hank went out the way he should, and that allowed us to all really think Jessie was getting one in the back of the head.  I still can't believe Walt grassed on him, I don't know about anyone else but after Hank's death I thought he'd try to reconcile with Jessie, not blame him at the time, but I guess that makes more sense.

The one thing I am trying to work out is when he comes back he gets a big gun and the Ricin, two completely different methods of revenge.  One blunt, one subtle.  I guess there are two targets, Jessie?  Saul?  Can't just be the Nazi gang.

Anyway I don't want to make too many predictions, just going to enjoy the end of one of the all time greatest series on television.

I see there are 4 episodes left, at this rate of carnage I really am amiss to telling you how they are eeking out much more from this.

We still have why Walt has to go on the run to New Hampshire, why his family aren't with him, why he has to come back and him doing what ever he has to do when he gets back with that rather big gun and the Ricin.  Rather than thinking there is too much time left, I'm worried there is too little.

Genuinely shouted 'You can't fucking end now!' out loud at the end of that episode.  IMO defo GG Gomie, I think we'll have a mortally wounded Hank as well to begin the next one.  I think Jessie makes it out, he is in a car out of the vast array of bad shooting and the keys are probably still in there.

Great episode, such a shame that with every one we get closer to the final one.

Very best of luck Sir!

[I have a feeling they will make a storyline for him in the close to lead up to whatever makes Walt go on the run.]

While doing an Elliot Ness and following the money to the car wash makes perfect sense I sort think it's something to do with Walt Jr.  We all know Walter is doing all of this for his family and with Jessie hurting from Walter going after a kid to play him he might do the same.  It might just be exposing Walt Jr to what his father has become rather than anything physical.  Remember, it's not just Walter who is evolving in this series, I think we're also going to see how far Hank, Jessie and indeed Marie are going to be willing to go, how dark everyone is prepared to get.  Plus the season has been very Walt Jr light and they have kind of set him up with his scenes in the last episode.  I have a feeling they will make a storyline for him in the close to lead up to whatever makes Walt go on the run.

I hope they don't - the character and actor are a notable weak spot in the show.

I agree that the character has been lost over the last two seasons at least.  He was a vital plot point for the opening couple of seasons to establish Walt's predicament but they've sort of lost how to progress him, or he's just now not that relevant to the series to such a degree.

FWIW he may not have a massive on screen role if they take this route, Walt would obviously be threatened with it etc.  I just can't see just the money being the best way to bring Walt down.

Congrats man.

DO IT!
