Breaking Bad coming back

At the same time, he felt bad when his uncle whacked Hank, convinced Lydia not to whack Skyler and her kids, convinced uncle Jack not to whack Jesse, and even gave him some ice cream...two flavors! He's definitely a complex character.

Right. And I can't tell if he's just that socially savvy and planning ahead with some of these emotions.

He sure didn't feel bad about killing the kid on the bike.

"Complex" is a good word for it.

He seems like a sociopath. Acting in ways he thinks might win him the appreciation of others or what he thinks is the right decision, without actually caring about the outcome.
 
Yup...sociopath. Although I think he does have connections with certain people. Jack,Walt,Jesse.
At Hanks death I believe he was moved to a tiny tear for the sight of Walt walt breaking down so animately.
Andrea's death was so awesomely cold,nonchalant. And Jesse juxtaposing torturous wail.... Awesome!
 
Hey,,,I'm not full of it!

Look what I found on Braking Wiki

"Gretchen later discovers that Walter lied to his family about her and Elliott paying for his treatment, horrified when Walter angrily and bitterly blames her and Elliott for ruining his life. Although she claims that Walter sees it wrong, it is still unknown what transpired, only that on Fourth of July weekend with Gretchen, her father, and her brothers, Walt was in his room packing his bags and barely talking. Walt left Gretchen and his research behind suddenly and without explanation. Although Gretchen still keeps Walter's secret, she later tells Skyler that she and Elliott will stop paying for the "treatment" ("Peekaboo")."
 
The entire cast of Breaking Bad was on Conan tonight, which was nice to see. Some decent interviews, but generally it was very light-hearted and entertaining.

If you can catch it on cable or on demand later, I recommend it. The whole episode was basically dedicated to Breaking Bad.

I enjoyed the episode and the jokes dedicated to the show. The fact that they had the mexican band from Season 2 that did the Ballad of Heisenberg. Them tossing blue "meth" into the audience at the end and Tito blowing up the studio was a nice touch.
 
Just watched Granite State a 2nd time. Awesome. In Walt's twisted mind he got screwed in the Gray Matter business deal (and there's whatever happened between Gretchen & Walt). Now Elliot and Gretchen go on TV to say Walt contributed nothing to the success of Gray Matter besides the clever name. Walt has always held a grudge and now they've publicly dissed him and his still-oversized ego can't stand that.

I love that the writers brought Gray Matter back in. Never anticipated that but it fits perfectly.
 
I wonder if we'll even have the lose ends tied up. We could end up with Jesse and Walt being killed off, the Nazi's still running the drugs and whatnot.

A face slap of an anticlimax, just to say that things would just keep going on as they had before.

Not likely I guess, but an interesting possibility. I hope the last episode isn't rushed, it just seems like there is potentially a lot of stuff that could do with being covered (though again, they don't need to cover all the ends, which can be a great way to finish a show, leaving people to ponder certain parts without them being explained).
