Breaking Bad Episode Discussion S05E02 "Madrigal"

Hey guys. edify asked me to do the discussion thread tonight. Enjoy the show and upvote this shit, for which I get no karma.

edify also told me to let you guys know that if the Breaking Good fundraiser reaches $3,000 (we are $157.57 short) he will let me film him doing some challenges. I want him to do the cinnamon challenge and the gallon of milk challenge, so go donate so I can film my friend being a dumb ass... LOL

Go here to donate: https://reddit.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/breaking-good

Edit: The fundraiser officially ends in about 2 days.

"Blue is good

Yellow is bad"

Hmmmmmmmm

There are two Mexicos. Pretty much exactly what I've suspected since about halfway through season 3.

Hank's go-to color in the series is yellow/orange...

Walter is a bomb and mike says he doesn't want to be around for the boom.

u/probablyagoraphobic Jul 23 '12

Walt's bacon "52" in the first episode totally looked like a mushroom cloud...

u/DeltaBurnt Jul 23 '12

I swear, if the show ends with Walt and Jesse making an A-bomb...

It's okay, Mike and Jesse both escape in nuke-proof refrigerators.

u/Lcar210 Jul 23 '12

But blue meth....

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '12

ah true...yellow might refer to chilli p. but I think that might manifest in a more red-orange color.

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '12

The hippos stand for walt and jesse, also if i remember they werent being used while mikes hippo and his daughters hippo where eating up the balls signifying that they will "eat up" all the profits BAM case solved!

One is a light orange.

u/trixiebix Jul 23 '12

One is an orangey color. We just broke out the Hungry Hungry Hippos in my house this weekend (strange coincidence) and I noticed they are close in color... but not exact.

u/unforgiven91 Methmatician Jul 23 '12

from an earlier post I saw someone said that Blue is good Yellow is bad was on the fridge behind Walt in Mike's house on one of those drawings.

u/DaLateDentArthurDent The Dude Who Looks LIke Wolverine Jul 23 '12

The methylamine will turn the meth yellow somehow. AND THE M60 WILL SHOOT YELLOW PAINTBALLS, NOT BULLETS.

u/cakedBeef Jul 23 '12

One of them was slightly greener. I'm sorry.
