Straight from imdb:

"New Breaking Bad season 5,episode 9 air date finally revealed. According to a new report from Collider, Aaron Paul aka Jessie Pinkman,hopped on Twitter to finally give fans a an air date for the upcoming Breaking Bad episode 9 of season 5 and the rest of the 2nd half of the season,which was decided to be delayed for a full freaking year by AMC. It turns out that the air date will land on July 14th,2013 as Aaron tweeted, "New episodes of Breaking Bad will air July 14th. Get ready to break some shit." However, it's also reported that AMC has denied this air date,but it's believed to be true in spite of that as the AMC wanted to be the ones to drop the official air date. Also, they revealed that producer Vince Gilligan said, the series finale will be polarizing, and that it will draw comparisons to Casablanca."

Better call Saul.

Thats what makes this show so incredible is their attention to detail. Its not just in the ends of episodes, nearly everything that has happened in this show has been brought up again or has some significance, truly a masterpiece of a television show.

Im not quite sure but wasn't that the dog that was following them around in a earlier episode, i may be wrong...

Or when walt and that dude drove off the dog started running across the street and i think it symbolizes walt running away to be on his own like a stray dog

That was an incredible episode, almost tempted to rewatch it right now.

Everyone giving predictions that Walt is going to save Jesse... shouldn't Walt expect Jesse to be dead? It's not like he checked in to see with Jack or Todd....

It's a symbol I believe. Dogs are typically a symbol of loyalty (mans best friend etc) so that was a way of symbolizing Walt is still loyal to his family for those who weren't able to realize he was actually helping his family with the phone call rather than being a dick for no reason. Obviously symbols can be interpreted many different ways, but that's just my two cents.

Flynns day was going great. Starting his new job, Flynn is having an A-1 day, when all of a sudden, none other than that guy on TV, Saul Goodman, comes and visits his very own car wash. Aunt Marie shows up , as happy as ever and sweeps Skyler away, while Flynn attempts to hold down the fort by himself. His family is finally giving him the respect he deserves. Things start to take a turn for the downhill when Skyler brings Flynn into her office. After Skyler and Marie spewing a bunch of bullshit about how his father is a drug dealer, thing just don't seem right. Aunt Marie isn't fucking wearing her purple shirt, so some shit has to be going down. After trying to call Hank, Flynn is done with his mothers lying. On the way home, Skyler even has the nerve to ask him to put on his seat belt. Flynn's father is back at the house to his mothers surprise, but he wont say anything. Flynn's dad apparently even killed Uncle Hank, what a dick. After his mother pulls a knife on Walter, Flynn has to tackle his father in order to stop his family from falling apart. After calling 911, his father even kidnaps his little sister and promptly leaves. Shit really hit the fan for Flynn today, from seeing his TV idol and working for his families car wash, Flynn is informed of his fathers meth dealing, homicidal, and kidnapping life, but deep down Flynn always knows his father will beat that cancer cause he is a good guy. Flynn finally realized that Louis is probably having much more fun in college than what has happened to him today.

This actually stood out to me but I didn't think about it till just now. She was wearing black when she answered the phone from Hank. And it wasn't a nice black shirt, it was just a plain black, maybe to symbolize mourning? She was wearing it the entire episode too.

http://thestir.cafemom.com/entertainment/161199/shocking_breaking_bad_ozymandias_episode

talks a bit about it. And has a crazy theory about Walt.




And I was laughing at your post from the start about Flynn.

now this is the story all about how
my life got flipped, turned upside down
and if you've got a minute that's as long as it'll take
i'll tell you how i became the fresh prince of a food called pancakes

in west Albuquerque, born and raised
eating breakfast, was where i spent most of my days
fumbling, mumbling and stumbling to school
and moanin' bout the boiler 'cause the showers too cool
when a couple of guys, they were up to no good
started making crystal in my neighborhood
dad din't come home one night and my mom fucked ted
and said "you're moving with your auntie and uncle hank instead"

i asked for a car and my dad said "here"
licence plate said "flynn" had dice in the mirror
if anything i wondered how this car was acquired
but i said nah, forget it bo-bo..bo-bonfire!!!

I, found out about my dad about 8 months later
and how he'd been arrested by Gomie and Schrader
my mom got a call, she didn't look too chill
"Walter just called, uncle Hank is kill"

Here's my theory. He'll hear about how there's still blue on the market. He'll know they kept Jesse alive. He'll contact Todd under the pretense of wanting to cook again. He'll learn the location of Jesse from Todd. He'll ricin Todd. Kill all the Nazis with the machine gun. I'm not sure if he'll be going to kill Jesse or save him but either way I believe that Jesse will kill Walt

Dude why are most of your posts interesting and worth reading, and then 5% are spiteful bullshit? My post isn't "wrong," it was a silly scene with literally >100 bullets fired at two dudes in the open. This episode starting with Gomez with ~3 bullets in him and hank with 1 doesn't change what I was saying-- it was a goofy scene and people have every right to say "hm that wasn't the greatest."

Not replying until this episode half made up for it like you're on some I told you so shit is so weird, stop being a dick

Glad Hank is dead, he destroyed his family by trying to take Walt down and got what he had coming.

The show couldhave ended after that episode with Skylar getting the baby back and Walt running off into the sunset. The ending will probably be dumb. Jesse will somehow escape or at least manage to kill Todd and a couple gang members before he gets killed. Skylar won't face charges even though she should for being a disloyal bitch. The son deserves both parents to be gone hes an asshole for not understanding. Skylar should release Walts confession about Hank to clear his name and as an apology.

I don't know if it was posted here but there is a far away shot of the "battlefield" where you can see the whole thing. When you see this photo you can understand how no one got hit right away. Also Hank and Gomez hid behind the car with Walt in it making the Nazis much more hesitant to shoot.

At first I thought it was kinda dumb too but find the picture then rewatch the episode. It becomes extremely plausible after that

I don't think the show will end all happy go lucky. So far nothing has happened that way. After reading an article someone posted on this page, the show tries to keep it like reality. Actions have consequences and people are going to be killed because of it. The link was posted above, take a read and it might change you opinion. I don't think were gonna see a typical TV ending to this series.

Well I know where you're coming from. When I was watching it I was like well the Nazis are looking down the sights and they took the first shot there's no way they didn't hit anybody, but when you see the full distance they were shooting at and the proximity to Walt and you take in the fact that these guys are just a gang of Nazis not a trained squad you understand how it happened

Found it. You can see how far behind the SUV they are standing, something they did a poor job of conveying with the head on camera work.

What happened to the walt- jesse relationship? Walt was like a father to him, and all of a sudden he wants to kill jesse because he might be working with the feds. With the DEA threat eliminated, Walt has a chance to let jesse go when he sees him under the car, but still wants him dead.

dude, that's like 100 feet and the nazis were coming with assault rifles with the first shots. it's really far fetched to say they didn't hit on the first few rounds. now gomez with his shotgun and hank with his 40 cal didn't have a fucking chance at those distances, but that's child's play for a rifle. but it's tv....there were other scenes that were much more unbelievable...huele and walt's arrest for instance (but we've been through that)

Walt might, in a way, blame Jesse for Hank being killed( if you hadn't helped him find me, etc....) Not to mention Jesse essentially took down Walt's cover by helping the feds. If Walt let Jesse go, it would just be one more loose end in the already chaotic situation walt is in.


Also remember that Heisenburg is ruthless-this isnt the fatherly chem teacher we saw in season one.

The distance? sure. The angle? I disagree. Again I think they did a poor job of showing it from the head on shots but it looks like they were mostly covered by the SUV making that pretty tough shot

I can almost guarantee 100% that the ending to this series will not be "dumb". the ending you posted, that would have been dumb haha ending with a drive off into the sunset, that would be a cliche if i've ever seen one.

Gilligan would not make the 3rd to last episode the most exciting one, they can only get more exciting from here

it sounds and looks fully automatic when he pulls that trigger though.

it doesn't look like a shotgun, but the shells that are popping out appear to be shotgun shells.

that's a good call. if it is indeed a shotgun, then it makes the scene much more believable as a shotgun isn't exactly a long range weapon.

upon further investigation, you are absolutely correct. it is a shotgun. I noticed the a12 on the stock and did a little googling. it appears that this weapon is the AA12 which is a fully automatic assault shotgun.

good call, dude. faith partially restored in BB.

Lol, I noticed this while I was watching the episode. I wondered why there were shotgun shells flying around. Noticed the marking on the gun and remembered it from COD, but never put the two together..

I trust my shooting abilities with a shotgun out to about 40 yards, and that is shooting small birds. Based on that picture up there^ it appears they are well within the range of a shotgun, and it would be pretty hard to miss with a fully auto shotgun, in range. But that is also based on your average hunting shotgun, don't know if the AA12 has a smaller range for whatever reason.
