yes great ep, but still doesnt quite work...

Posted by: islander (a.k.a YoungFund) on Aug 26, 07:50 in response to lobogotti's post I don't think it was a stretch at all, rather very good...

in "Madrigal", walt and jesse look for the still missing cig. walt planted a fake cig in the roomba which jesse finds. now i seem to remember jesse being doubtful, but he winded up accepting it. so now in last nights ep, we are expected to believe that: jesse sees the cig pack, remembers getting frisked by huell *months ago*, then figures walt had huell take the pack from jesse, remove the cig, and replace the pack *without jesse noticing*, that the cig they found must have been fake, and that walt was going to poison brock with the real cig (even tho he didnt) now *we* know that huell did take the cig (maybe it was in 'live free or die' walt gets the cig from saul who makes a joke about huell not crushing it, IIRC)

yes i know jesse had thought at the time walt did it with the cig, but when it turned out not to be, theres no way jesse should leap to thinking that that was walts original plan. imho :)

OK, am I missing something with newest Breaking Bad? eyescovered Aug 25, 19:08

as you can see from the episode guide... (spoilers) lobogotti Aug 26, 07:32

I don't think it was a stretch at all, rather very good writing for an excellent show. it's being received well by critics and fans alike. lobogotti Aug 26, 07:34

yes great ep, but still doesnt quite work... islander Aug 26, 07:50

Yep, that was my thinking. {nm} eyescovered Aug 26, 09:02

think about what happens in the episode Moviesnob Aug 26, 07:48

oh posted before seeing this. i guess {nm} islander Aug 26, 07:52

exactly. further points I meant to add, but got a bit busy....(spoilers) lobogotti Aug 26, 08:01

MY concern about this is as above... numbersix_99 Aug 26, 15:34

Well said. eyescovered Aug 26, 16:01

Well, I would RESPECTFULLY disagree. I only see one of those events as manufactured, the others are logical outcomes set up over time. Moviesnob Aug 26, 16:29

Vulture breaks it down pretty good here... eyescovered Aug 26, 16:51

its a recap. It doesn't critique last night's episode other than saying Moviesnob Aug 26, 17:39

Um, not just a recap. Pretty much an entire article on what we're talking about. {nm} eyescovered Aug 26, 18:46

sorry, didn't mean any offense. I don't see where your concerns were addressed {nm} Moviesnob Aug 26, 20:02

here's the writer from the episode (again, vulture) talking directly about the origin and mechanics about the revelation Moviesnob Aug 26, 21:28

No prob man! Maybe you could change your handle to TVsnob ; ) {nm} eyescovered Aug 27, 03:36

perfectly reasonable explanation. and trust me, I'm not a blind advocate for the show...(spoilers) lobogotti Aug 27, 11:27

As entertainment, it's damn good, though for me it used to be better because of these lack of contrivances... numbersix_99 Aug 27, 01:01

wow, that is some really deep thinking. I'm surprised Walt's ability to turn on the tears turns you off so much. lobogotti Aug 27, 11:24

I think.... numbersix_99 Aug 27, 14:00

ha! The debate that will go on for years to come, The Wire or Breaking Bad. At this point I feel BB has a slight lead, and the can retain lobogotti Aug 27, 17:39
