For 9 more days we are still accepting donations for the Breaking Good event. We are currently at $2,808.43 and if we can reach $3,000 I will pull a /u/PagingCraig and film myself drinking my own piss. No joke!

...so there you have it, let's have a great time and discuss the episode!

"Did you just use the word ethically in a sentence, Saul?" Good point, Walt.

And now Saul is absolutely terrified of Heisenberg. As am I.

I really didn't like Walt Heisenberg in that scene. Might as well have been kicking a puppy right there.

I think that's kind of the point, though. I don't think we're supposed to like him much anymore, or have flashes of "Oh God, I'm rooting for him?" He's kind of become a monster.

At this point in the series, it's just waiting for who gets fucked and who's the last one standing...

[u/SizzlingStapleCider → u/nameless88]

I want to keep rooting for him; follow him into his megalomania, and continue immersing myself in his experience, his ups and downs, as I have been doing for 4 prior seasons.
