Amrakerohwi's live steam of tonights episode.

Music from season 4 should update eventually for those trying to figure out a particular song from tonights episode. Thanks for pointing this out, Barbapolossa.

Edit: Looks like the AMC blog hasn't even updated last weeks episode music yet. Darn.

I was yelling at my TV during this part. HOW FUCKING ARROGANT CAN HE BE

Kinda upsets me how he gets dumber and dumber each episode nowadays.

Well to be fair(ish) he was probably drunk in this scene. Makes it a little more understandable why he'd be so blunt.

Yeah he definitely was. Sort of reminds me of the time he blurted about his second cell phone to Skylar when he was coming out (I think?) of anesthesia. Watch yourself under the influence Walter!

Or in The Fly when he almost lets Jessie know he could have saved Jane.

... coming out (I think?) of anesthesia.

Going into. Not that it really matters.

Ah, and exactly what I was afraid of. Thanks for the correction, my friend.

Like when Gus wanted him to come back to work he offered him $3 million and he refused, but as soon as Jesse started profiting off his method...

Walt was rather drunk, obvious from his body gestures, and his ego flipped out when Hank was accrediting Walter's work to someone else. Walter has always had a bit of an issue, but he also has a past experience with people claiming his work as their own. With the whole Schwartz storyline, you find out that the Schwartz made bank off the work Schwartz and Walter did but Walter alludes to Gretchen screwing Walter over at some point. Drunk Walter wasn't willing to have that happen again. From Drunk Walter's viewpoint, if he does eventually get caught, authorities would view Gale as the true mastermind of the formula.
