It was part of the McCloud, Madigan, McMillan & Wife etc group? I preferred Madigan even though it was short lived.
yeah, it was one of those! In fact, mentioning "M&W", another plot parallel has just popped into my mind:

Good spot Kenny.

I got the X-Files connection with the fumigating straight away. But that one goes even further back.

Whatever happens now I don't think Jesse will deal with the fall out from that especially well, especially as:

Spoiler



Outstanding episode and a completely shocking ending. I really was not expecting that at all.

There's going to be a huge police operation to look for the missing boy(assuming he is dead and buried in the desert somewhere).

I imagine the boys picture will be all over the news. Worried parents/guardians on there as well. That will drive Jesse into the depths again? Like when Jayne died. Just when he was doing so well. Or does anyone think he will be able to deal with the murder and keep his sanity. It may set him on a collision course with Walt & Todd. But he will handle it all without cracking up.

You must have posted this while I wrote my thoughts about Jesse.

Lol. Great minds. He's always been a sensitive character I feel, with a lot of emotion to him. One thing that sticks with me is when he took the rap for his younger brother over drugs and in turn alienated himself from his parents again. You can't help but think all Jesse wants is to just be loved and accepted, I feel he looks to Walt for a lot of that.

But yes, Jesse was the one who ultimately said to Todd
Spoiler
so he's going to be blaming himself. How he handles it will be fascinating.

Indeed.

And there is always Jane's death and Brock's poisoning lurking in the shadows as well. We've seen what Jesse is like when he gets angry. Like you say it will be fascinating to see which way all this goes.

You don't need to keep spoiler tagging things from the latest episode - it's aired in the US, therefore it's fair game

Another fantastic episode - one of the best so far. Jesse is going to be a mess now. Hopefully, without the drugs
Me too! When he appeared at the end, I knew it wasn't going to be good but I never expected Todd to kill him! I think what made it more shocking was that Todd waved backed to the little boy. I'm definitely looking forward to how Walt reacts to Todd's actions.

I wonder if the gun cocking sound at the end of the last episode is connected to the gun firing at the end of this episode. I don't neccessarily think that's what the end of the previous episode was solely foreshadowing - I personally think the gun cocking signifies the upcoming events on Walt's 52nd birthday - but perhaps on an 'artistic' level, especially when the scene after the gun-cocking scene featured the young victim. I'm probably reading too much into it, but I've come to expect these clever subtleties from Breaking Bad.

Also, I really love Lydia! Every episode she's in she's about two seconds away from being shot in the head by Mike

I'll back Matt D up here. If it's aired in the US then we can discuss it ''in the open'' so to speak. No tags necessary. Sometimes promos appear for next weeks episode, or little bits of info will appear online - a new cast member has been added to the show for instance. That sort of stuff needs to be tagged.

It's entirely up to you ellie how you construct your posts. But remember some people won't touch tagged stuff with a barge pole - they want to remain totally spoiler free. So you are in effect cutting yourself off from some posters on here - if you get my drift. But in the end it's up to you.

Regards

BK

It is a bit daft to say no spoilers when nobody can possibly have seen it before each fresh episode. I think the OP has failed to understand the concept of no spoilers and merely copied existing thread titles!

Read the post directly above yours. Teasers, casting news, interviews that hint at things to come - those are spoilers.

Deleted.

Ghost World's post covered the points I made. His post only appeared after my post registered - weird!!!

I spoilered mine for 2 reasons...

1. I didn't wan't to get in the middle of the argument.
2. To save anyone who hadn't yet seen the episode.

Me personally, I avoid this thread until I've seen the episode, usually on a Monday evening for me. I take on board what BK and Matt say though, if you are looking in a US Pace thread and haven't yet seen the episode then you should expect spoilers.

With that in mind, I won't be putting anything else in spoiler tags.

Meanwhile....is it Sunday yet!?

That's right NB. 2 blocks of 8. Part 2 of S5 will air around the same time next year. I think filming starts in November - that's what was mentioned in one of the podcasts.

I didn't enjoy the last season of Dexter. I'm thinking of packing it in, to be honest.

But footie? YES!!!

Soccer Saturday and then SuperSunday. Bliss.

I doubt Todd will stick around that long!

I'd like to see Jesse and his parents again... and there has been a lack of Saul in the last few episodes. Also a rather bad taste joke not meant to offend:

Why is Walt jr always eating breakfast?

Spoiler

please don't report me

Good one Glow. Agree about the lack of Saul action as well.

Keith, I do love Dex, I watched all six seasons back to back though so the continuity of it ran through for me. I agree the last was a little different with the religious theme but it will be interesting to see where it goes now.

Anyway, its Sunday! BB tomorrow night, a weekend of football (even though my team did what it always does and throws it away at the last minute )
