Too bad because I'm curious when specifically you noticed Jesse's guilt trip.

No.  Certainly not.  Don't come in here if you haven't seen it and don't want to read spoilers.

everyone said how amazing this show was but i got bored and stopped watching around the end of the 2nd season. i really don't see why this is peoples favorite show of all time. granted its a pretty decent show and i like how their characters are realistic and unidealized, but i can't see it making my top ten.

Season 3 things started to get really really good and Season 4 is one of the best seasons of television ever. If you pick it up again you'll understand.

He has Hank between a rock and a hard place for sure.

Cant figure out why Todd made that call to Walt, is he out or not?

Why the fuck didn't Saul just play dumb when Jessie came back?

Not trying to be passive aggressive, but your knowledge of laundering money and drug dealing is based on what?

I've done a lot of work on items related to taxes. What you put on your taxes is confidential. The IRS will not tell anyone. For your source of income, just list "illegal activities" or "drug dealer". The IRS doesn't care. But if you DON'T pay them, you'll go to jail if you are caught.  Remember John Dillinger, Public Enemy #1? He didn't go to jail for murder or assault or anything like that. He went to jail for tax evasion.

As for drug dealing, it's pretty common knowledge that the "labs" are disappearing in favor the Shake and Bake. It's a lot easier and more mobile.

Start with the overseas sales.  That's just stupid.  In the US, finding the ingredients is hard.  Oversees, in a second-world country, it is bound to be easier.

Also, you are transporting the stuff.  That's dangerous.  It would be infinitely easier for him to go there and make the stuff.  Then he has significantly cut his risk of being caught.

Yeah, but he wants control of his product and doesn't want to leave his area...so no go.

Lydia is smoothing out everything, and they are piggybacking their shipping of Madrigal so I'm not sure what the problem is. 


If he was the perfect criminal that would make the show pretty boring until there was some tension. She could still declare the money on taxes but opening up the operation to inspection probably isn't a high priority on Skyler's "to do" list.

Skyler would should know that the risk of not paying taxes is huge. She might as well declare it and throw it into an IRA.

As for shipping, containers have some searching and detection. Not a lot, but some. It would be too risky or current drug dealers would use it. The fact he doesn't want to leave the area is just laziness.

What do you suppose the whole car wash thing is for??? You have to declare WHERE your income came from, you can't just tell the IRS you made three million cash this year from undisclosed sources feel free to tax some tax out of that.

She simply has too much to pass it off as revenue from the car wash now, (the IRS  will be a little suspicious if some backwoods car wash is turning 3 mill profit) so to launder it effectively they'd need to buy some more cash style businesses, the laser tag place etc.

You are right. You have to tell the IRS where the money came from. However, "illegal activities" or "drug dealing" is sufficient. The only drawback is that you can't deduct your expenses on illegal activity. In fact, the fact that that rule is in place (you used to be able to) shows the government expects you do declare illegal income.

Dillinger was shot and killed outside of a theater somewhere.

Al Capone was sent to prison for tax evasion.

Actually flying the stuff DHL or FedEx IS the way to go. Very little security for cargo planes and because the items are urgent, there is no time for inspection upon arrival. No they won't ask any questions, they will happy accept your money.

Badger even mentioned it way back when him and Jesse were gonna cook together.
My stepmom thinks thats why all the bleach containers of a certain size are sold out so quickly at a certain box store in her area.

There was a story floating around about a car sitting at an intersection, running. When police were called to investigate, the found the ( meth head? ) driver, dead at the wheel.

Apparently he tried to "shake and bake" while driving, with a GLASS bottle as the mixing vessel.

BOOM! Dead...

Of course it could be urban legend, but if it happened, I'll bet it happened in Florida!...lol

I think the stars are aligning for Walter Jr's demise next episode.
It could be Hank or Gomez too.

Did the actor that plays Walt Jr. slip in an interview and say he's going to be in a witness protection program?

Damn good episode. Skyler's breaking bad, and Jessie turned bitch.

Jesse always was a "wounded puppy" as Cranston notes.

It's that same guy who always needs bailing out, jumps from one thing to another... always needs a real understanding woman to 'make things right'.

I feel bad for him, I do.
It's tragic to watch.

He did it to himself.

Hank has no emotional connection to Jesse so he doesn't care if he dies. Walt may care but he lies to his own wife. I highly doubt he gives two shits about anything.

I sum up Walt by his need to build an empire at all costs. Pretty lame you f'ed up that Grey Matter deal in college for 5Gs.

Walt is the bitch.
He can't even throw a punch.

Nope, just speculation. Episode 5 last season was when motorbike kid died.
Walt having that huge gun makes sense for him to go after Todd and his Uncle or the Cops, and I think its more likely Todd and his Uncle.

Walt Jr is oblivious to the situation and I think Todd and his Uncle might be sloppy and get people that are around Jesse instead of actually getting Jesse. Plus it would explain why Skyler and Walt Jr aren't around in the flash forwards.

On the Talking Bad show the host asked him something and he said...I'm dead there is no more Walt Jr.

I think it was Talking Bad but he just mentioned the witness protection program.

I thought that he was making the joke that Walt goes into witness protection and goes on Malcolm in the Middle.

However I should watch it again, maybe he said something different.

Hummm
My eyes and ears were focused during the show, then after I was I onto something else so who knows ha.

I do remember the Malcom joke.

It was the actor that played Walt Jr. saying what he did on air.
First time I heard him say it; I don't watch Talking Bad.

Yes. I saw it. It was the same joke that's been floating around for a while now, and that was posted two weeks ago on page 2 of this thread we are now in.
