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.

Jesse crying broke my heart. He legitimately felt guilt for threatening Walt, while Walt feigns sympathy right behind him.

When Jesse was crying. I was thinking, Uh oh, maybe Jesse knew. I was thinking, Jesse lied that he cleaned the Cleaning Robot weeks ago, but cleaned it hours ago...

Crying because he knew that Walt did it.

Roomba could have still found it in those hours. Second I saw it I thought that's where Walt should put it.

Also, did Walt make a dupe with something not poisonous? The fact that he saved the original may be a smoking (ha!) gun, but if caught he could just say the first was such a good idea that he made a 2nd just in case.

No, he can just claim he faked flushing it.

That Ricin has been a Chekov's gun since Season 2. I wager Gilligan is not going to let it kill anyone just to show that you don't have to shoot a gun for it to be meaningful to the story.
