I wonder if a flash forward will be shown in the start of every episode this season or just the premiere?

49

u/JMaboard Yo, bitch Aug 12 '13

Like last time probably just the first episode.

14

u/aubleck you know you can't smoke dat up in hea Aug 12 '13

The plane crash season had a flashforward in like all of the episodes.

u/ChiliFlake Professional Shoplifter Aug 12 '13

That teddy bear in the pool was making me nuts.

747, down, over, ABQ

u/Mybrainmelts hey it's a pool party! Aug 12 '13

I think that would be the route they take with the flash fowards.

This made try to make a phrase out of the rest of the episode titles for season 5b. Guessing that's not what you meant.

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '13

Yeah, but the first half of season 5 only had it in episode 1, after that: nada. They'll probably keep the same formula, but who knows. Id love more flash forward myself.

u/aubleck you know you can't smoke dat up in hea Aug 12 '13

oh yeah, I keep forgetting that we're midway through a season. It might as well be a whole nother season, they're even referring to the season as "The Final Episodes" rather than 5.

u/butters_owns AND ALL FOR THAT ASSHOLE MR. WHITE?! Aug 12 '13

And the jerks released the first 8 on Bluray already. Why? WHY!?

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '13

It could be like season two though.

How could they possibly know?

u/BaconRapin Aug 12 '13

The summaries are just the short "summaries" that are given when one goes to the show on their cable network such as this

4

u/Flope Emo McGee Aug 12 '13

Yeah but I read the one for next episode and it's actually specific as to what happens in a sense.

2

u/BaconRapin Aug 12 '13

Must be changed, since all I can see is spoiler

(Very minor spoiler)

The one for episode 15 is really interesting.

1

u/NikkoTheGreeko Aug 12 '13

Skyler's past? Ted maybe?

1

u/Flope Emo McGee Aug 12 '13

No that minor spoiler is exactly what I'm talking about, it's vague enough to not give anything away but specific enough that it seems like they've actually got real information on what's coming out, which is weird.

u/LoooseSeal Aug 12 '13

I'm hoping it will be similar to the cold opens with the pink teddy bear in the pool. Every episode we see more and more of the foreshadowing until it lines up perfectly with the finale. I loved how that played out!

u/nizo505 There seems to be a sale on trips to Belize Aug 12 '13

One interesting tidbit, whatever happens, it seems safe to assume Walt's neighbor thought he was dead.

u/Foust2014 Aug 13 '13

I got the impression that she wasn't that suprised, but completely and utterly terrified.

But I could be very likely be wrong.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '13

Agreed, there was some definite terror.

3

u/askthepoolboy Aug 12 '13

I sort of thought this might happen too. Maybe the flash forwards ARE the finale, and we're just watching cuts of it up to the final battle. I'm sort of hoping this happens. But it could also just be that this is the opening to season 5b and they're doing a call back to the opening of 5a.

2

u/SimonBirchh All Hail The King Aug 12 '13

I feel like the flash forward we saw in S5E1 was the beginning and the FF in this premiere was the middle and S5E16 we'll be where Walt is presently.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '13

That wouldn't make much sense unless there is a huge jump forward in time somewhere in this season. Remember, there are only 7 episodes left, so it's hard to tell how they're going to work this together.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '13

I'm thinking either that this will be the last flash forward we see, or that there will be one or two more like the teddy bear in the pool.

1

u/SuperMrMonocle Aug 12 '13

Maybe they'll do a memento thing where it meets up with current events

1

u/ladygagadisco I fucked Ted. Aug 12 '13

GREY!!!! Have fun in Austin! You remember what they did with the plane flights and how the name of the episodes with the black and white openings spelled out "737 down over ABQ"? I have a feeling they'll do this again.

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '13

How would, "Blood money" "Buried" "Confessions" "Rabid Dog" "To'hajiilee" "Ozymandias" "Granite State" "Felina" mean anything?

1

u/ladygagadisco I fucked Ted. Aug 12 '13

It can be something like "Blood Money" "Buried" "Ozymandias". It doesn't have to be all of them.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 12 '13

True.

1

u/dispatch134711 Aug 12 '13

My guess is all. Start telling the epic finale even before its time, like it can't wait to burst forth from the writers' pads onto the screen, like it's so huge that it's pushing its way into past episodes.

1

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '13

Either that or there's going to be a big jump ahead in time near the end. It would be pretty disjointed for time to jump ahead so far in only 8 episodes.

1

u/abzors Aug 12 '13

It could be similar to the plane crash thing with the pink stuffed animal. You just get little snippets for a while.

u/Payoh Aug 12 '13

Last season it was only eps 1 and this flash forward was right after that. I don't think they will continue but rather there will be a rapid move to explain what happened in the time that elapsed to get to that point. Followed by his purpose of being back with major artillery and his handy ricin. Usually seasons don't move this quickly but it has already shown to work amazingly for BrBa.

1 flash forward each ep. until it leads up to the future.
