I totally didn't see the Hank and Walt confrontation coming so soon in the season. Do you think it has more to do with their conflict being more epic and drawn out than I imagined or is it because their conflict is secondary to the main event of Jesse and Walt? Jesse has suspected Walt of doing him dirty before, but it has never seemed to go anywhere long-term. For the first time, Jesse really seems to know that Walt is lying to him (re: Mike) even if he doesn't have a way to prove it definitely. Given the central nature of their relationship to the show and Walt's long list of secrets from Jesse, I can't imagine that they leave it without resolution on some level, and personally, Walt v. Jesse > Walt v. Hank.
I can definitely see the Walt v. Hank conflict "resolved" by the 4th or so episode of the season. Assuming the final episode is mostly whatever is going on with Walt/Mr. Lambert, there's really only six episodes to work with to fit in everything else. Then again it's dumb to even think of making predictions for this show.
As always, waiting a week in between episodes blows.
if we really thought about it, IMO walt going down via the DEA (and hank) would be pretty standard. guy gets caught selling/making drugs and goes to jail.
i think we all know by now it is going to be a lot more complicated than that and i doubt walt's demise just ends with hank being able to turn him in and it working out that way.
I've been thinking about the level of the willing suspension of disbelief this show has on the audience a good bit since last night. For better or worse they could probably end the show with an alien invasion enslaving mankind and we would buy it.

I love it when they go into detail about certain unbelievable things on the Breaking Bad podcast that AMC's website hosts. It's always really interesting to hear Gilligan and the writers talk about how some of the most far-fetched stuff gets a ton of research and investigating to see just how plausible it can really be. They've definitely answered a lot of my questions or criticisms on there. Totally worth a listen.

Did the analyze the percentage of people who surplus their bathroom reading material while puking their brains out?
It's not so much the ridiculous stuff but the circumstantial stuff to forward the plot that catches me up.
Don't get me wrong, I'm fully on the ride with everyone else. Just something worth thinking about. So far it hasn't been taken advantage of, but I'm sure the writers are aware of it. Let's just hope they don't go too far

Did not know this existed...thanks much!
Can't remember when they started doing it but it's usually one per episode. So following the episode an editor and a few crew members talk about what went into it. There's a lot of interesting background detail and also sometimes ideas that never came about or were changed for whatever reason.
Did the analyze the percentage of people who surplus their bathroom reading material while puking their brains out?
I haven't yet listened to this episode's podcast but did find this interview with Vince Gilligan where they briefly mention that. It's maybe not the most satisfying reason/answer but I think it fits within the show which has had many of these types of conveniences or last-second notices.
Walt figures out what Hank knows about him pretty quickly. How important was it to have that confrontation in the first episode?
When I talk to folks [who’ve seen the premiere], so many people seem surprised that we did that so quickly. I guess the best way to answer is to say we tried to take it moment by moment, scene by scene, and see where the characters took us and the writing. It was not our initial thought to do that. We didn’t initially have the idea to have Walt figure out that Hank was on to him so quickly. We thought we might string that out for a few episodes. But when we got to the end of the episode, we thought to ourselves, We always want to end every episode of Breaking Bad, particularly the final eight, with a big development, a big finish. What better than Walt being on to Hank, who is on to Walt? It became apparent to us that, you know, we only got eight of these things left. We wanted to move like a bat outta hell and let the chips fall where they may.
Was there anything specific that you discovered that enabled you to fit in that revelation?
Well, we loved the idea of incorporating the cancer news. If Walt’s in chemo again, he’s feeling nauseated again, and so we loved Walt’s revelation that the book was gone [stemmed from] him having to kneel in front of the porcelain god there, having to throw up. When we came up with that idea, we thought, Well, let’s just get it in here now. Let’s just do it.

Breaking Bad strikes me as not so much written to be street-smart as written to be what middle-class white people think is street-smart. Having skimmed a few episodes of Orange is the New Black I think that might be something common to both shows. I'd be interested to hear what, say, actual addicts, dealers, scummy lawyers, DEA agents, etc. make of Breaking Bad,

I think in a stack of magazines, that book added a lot of heft. He knew it was there and probably noticed the difference in height since he was facing the basket.

I really liked how Walt used the towel to kneel on, in the bathroom. Also, he seemed a lot like Gus Fring when working the cash register and dealing with Lydia. Definitely reminded me of when Walt went to Pollos Hermanos looking to get Gus to take him in. The way they'd shift from kingpin voice to helpful manager voice was great.
Someone clearly has waaaaaaay too much free time to have analyzed the WARDROBE COLORS of each character in every episode... (still, nice work if you can get it, huh?)
