Same here.. no one has faith! I dont think cranston and the rest have made one of the best tv shows ever just to blow the finale.

Speaking of Skylar's ex-boss...... I was a tad dismayed that he was "brought back to life". I wonder if he returns again.


Now, in all the episodes, to the semi-lay person, part time chemist type, I was always very happy that they didn't "make things up" just for story line. Aparently, Mythbusters claim that fulminate of mercury won't explode if you throw it on the floor... but... I recall making the substance in college and painting it on the pay phone in a dorm. When someone hung up the phone it would make a satisfyingly loud crack and startle the caller (yes, you all remember phone booths don't you?).


But I do recall a single incident that I had a great deal of trouble with. Yeah it's small but still. Round about the time Jessee was redirecting some of the finished product from the super lab and selling it, he was hefting plastic bins full of blue meth and setting them on the scale. I recall that he was finding them to weigh about 30 kilos each but he was lifting them from the table in such a way as to make it impossible for most men to pick up that weight from that angle. Interestingly, in another scene in another episode, they corrected the problem and had jesse AND walt actually grunting a bit when they lifted the bins.


What I find gratifying is that I started watching the first episode simply because of the trailer, a man in his undies in the desert with a gun. I was hooked by the end of the first episode and was blown away by each of the next ones, more blown away every episode. I also found the series to be tremendously funny in a dark way, of course that black humor faded by the end of the third season or so. Remember what a sad sack Jesse was? when he climbed over a fence in order to retrieve the RV and fell into the portapotty?

Anyway, I started telling people "you HAVE to watch this show, it is the best tv show I have ever seen in my life", I tried to interest everyone I knew, I had to convince my daughter (we compare notes on entertainment often). Most of them did not take my advice "I just CAN'T involve myself in yet another series" they said. "It is glorifying meth", they complained. And for a few years I was unheard. Now those friends who refused back then talk to me and say "I rented one season then I went out and got the rest, I've been watching them for a week and you are right, I am completely hooked".


I like being right. I can't see how it is going to wrap everything up in the few episodes that are left.


I am told that if you go back and watch from the beginning it is like watching an entirely new show and you notice things you could not have before. I rarely rewatch these sorts of things but I think I am going to devote some time for it.

The RV was impounded because it was being repaired, jesse climbed the fence to get it back and fell through the roof of the portapotty, in one scene you see him died blue from the sanitizing liquid in the toilet. I think he falls asleep in the RV covered in that muck. Of course this was a fine forsadowing of what was to follow, he has been pretty much immersed in blue by the end of the series.

and THAT is the sort of story telling that keeps me interested.

I think I've said this before though. I have a hard time believing that only a few percentage points at the very top end of a pure product would actually make such a difference in the effects of the chemical- (What did Gale say about Heisenburg's concoction's purity? 97 percent or something like that?) Where Gale couldn't manage to get above 95?? I can't see meth purity turning it into something completely different - as Gus describes when he sought support from the Mexican cartel. Beyond that, anything that pure is bound to be stepped on at least once or twice so down the line it the potency would have been leveled to the quality of all of the rest and the guys at the top would have pocketed the difference, most users not even noticing.

but, I don't know if Gilligan had many advisors who were ever in the trade at multiple levels of distributorship.
