In my opinion, what'll come of it is that Jesse will feel less useless and thus less likely to jeopardize the entire drug business (good for Gus) and he might slowly begin to part ways with Walt because I honestly can't see Walt liking the situation wherein he's not the only useful part of the duo (we could already see how arrogant and egocentric he is at the end of the last episode).

Hmm, that's true. Jesse partying for 2 episodes straight could very easily have jeopardized the business. Walt and Jesse have been going at it since season 1. My guess is he will end up in trouble and come to Walt for help, though of course Walt will have his conditions. Slowly Walt is losing a lot of his power.. the guards for Gus ignore his antics and put him in his place. Skyler is taking control of the Car Wash stuff, Jesse is gaining "rep" with Gus. Walt is slowly losing all power aside from being a good cook.

I can see him doing something big to bring himself back into power. With the ending of last episode.. I hope that if anything is figured out, the writers do it in true BB Style, (the so close yet so far ideology).. and not make an abrupt end to things.

Exactly. it was obviously staged by Gus as he was testing Jesse for something. even Mike said 'it played out how you expected more or less' when he was talking to Gus.

Plus, Gus said "I will of course reimburse you for the damage to your vehicles"

I disagree.

Providing for his family is Walt's primary motivation, hence the reason his reconciliation with Skyler, Walt Jnr., and Holly is examined further.

There's a little bit more to this show than cooking crystal meth and shooting people.

Well, that episode wasn't too bad. Not overly slow. Seemed pretty on par with episodes from previous seasons, the story is definitely starting to build. I'd say this was one of the better episodes this season (not that that is too hard to achieve)

I haven't been able to watch this weeks episode yet but I will tomorrow. My buddy lives 2 blocks down from Walt and Skyler's home and he has seen them several times on set since the show began. :)

Haha that is so cool - I hear if you find Hank/Maries house on streetview you can see the camera crew :D

Yeah, a good episode this week - a number of important developments.

Great work Hank!

I have to say, the cinematography in this show is absolutely terrific - I love the experimental camera angles...they break all the conventions, yet somehow everything comes together.

Yea for sure, the cameras on the gun, in the vacuum tube. But also in earlier episodes like on the shovel, and other weapons and such. They do a great job with the cameras.

I was actually kinda confused by the murder. Why was it exactly that they killed him? (in the flashback).

Also, the flashback would of been while Gus was still in Mexico. I can't remember what dates they said for him moving to mexico from chile, and then from mexico to the states. It would of been around the time he got his states work visa.

Because he was the chemist. No chemist no cooking. No competition.

The interesting part is where the guy sad we know who you are in chile. Almost like he is untouchable.

Cant wait for next weeks EP.

Not really.

From the podcast as well as from the flashback scenes, it is inferred that the two are more than just friends. This wasn't about killing a chemist, it was to a) show Gus who's the boss in Mexico, b) show him the lengths they're prepared to go to.

Good episode, really hope it gets the ball rolling into what I'm guessing will be the "meet" (meat) of the season. Was kinda hoping for more based on the opening scene, but all in all not to shabby.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By The Werewolf · Posted

      1. Define "better". 2. It's still more expensive than equivalent PCs so... And there is not one Windows platform. This is the mistake ALL Apple oriented people make. Apple is one OEM. You could reasonably compare them to one PC OEM, say Dell or HP. But you can't compare them to ALL PC OEMs. Case in point, Apple has NO touch screen MacBooks. No tablet Macs. There are no rugged Macs. The variety of PC OEM design is insane. With Apple, you have... Apple. The problem is that you're starting with Apple as the definition of "good" then filtering out anything that isn't close to an existing Apple product, then trying to homogenise all of those left into a fictional product line and then ignore any innovations to create a minimal feature subset so you can say "See! Apple better!" PS: I was an Apple dev for 17 years and helped develop MacInTalk and disability solutions for Apple, and worked on Microsoft Office for MacOS - and I have several Macs and MacBooks - so tread very carefully.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft has been making major changes in its gaming wing Xbox for a few months now, including the appointment of a new CEO, a large number of leadership changes, and strategy shifts. However, the company is seemingly also looking at initiating a major layoffs wave at Xbox and perhaps even a studio closure. The new report lands from Kotaku, Xbox first-party developer Compulsion Games is being shuttered soon by Microsoft. For those unfamiliar with the studio, it's the team behind Contrast (2013), We Happy Few (2018), and South of Midnight (2025). Its latest game was quite well received, even winning a Peabody Award for its writing. It even received a 9/10 in Neowin's own review, highlighting its engaging storyline, gorgeous world, and curious characters. The studio joined Xbox Game Studios in 2018, just as Microsoft announced it is acquiring Playground Games, Undead Labs, and Ninja Theory. Despite recent listings for new staff roles, according to the new report, Compulsion Games is being closed entirely, with over 90 staff being let go. Kotaku also added that the studio's leadership is in negotiations with Microsoft about this decision, but no official details have been revealed yet. The report lands just as two senior managers of Xbox leave their posts at Microsoft Gaming. Head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan and chief of staff Louise O'Connor originally began their journey in Rare and have been a part of Xbox for over two decades. Dunkan has been responsible for games like Kinect Sports and Sea of Thieves, while O'Connor was primarily working on Rare's Everwild project before its cancelation. If this report about the studio shutdown is accurate, this may just be the start of a major new layoffs wave at Xbox Game Studios. There are also rumors of Arkane Studios being heavily affected. As always, take all these reports with a grain of salt until something official materializes from Microsoft or the studios.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      The flaw with this analysis is that this laptop has a cellphone CPU in it. In the Intel world, that would be an N150 and those are everywhere, even in low end laptops. You can get an N150 based NUC with 16GB RAM and 256GB-512GB SSD... NOT soldered in... for < $500 Canadian (around US$360). The problem is two fold: tech bloggers/writers on most tech site (like this one, ironically) overvalue Apple and apparently aren't in the same earnings class as most regular people. As a result, we get breathless articles about how everyone needs a folding phone when most people just cannot afford one... or really need one. And we get Apple used as the baseline metric regardless of whether that comparison makes any sense. If Dell or HP released a retail laptop with a cellphone motherboard, you'd be all over them for doing that - but Apple does it and it's genius. I see articles suggesting what Samsung - a company that basically started the foldable phone market and has built them for eight years - needs to do to compete with Apple's unreleased, unspecced and unseen folding phone. Sorry, no - if the Neo (really creative name there BTW - still, better than the Go, the other "creative" product name everyone's using) encourages PC makers to make cellphone laptops using lower end ARM processors, we all lose. It's a step backwards and a capitulation to the fact that semiconductor makers and computer OEMs (and tech bloggers) have totally lost the plot.
