    Except that I'm not talking about the action. I just didn't care for most of Jesse's portion of the episode, which was basically the middle part. One scene in particular was pointless. Many of my favorite moments of this show aren't action packed.

    Truth how many of the best moments in the show are either suspense-filled or just awesome acting by Bryan Cranston (love watching him change like he did with Hank)

    Ignore him. He's just here to ruffle feathers. He's never even watched the show. Proof is in his first post.

    Why not? Fear of being ridiculed is my guess

    Jonathan Banks has elevated every series he has ever touched. I would kill to have all of Wiseguy on DVD.

    Agreed. I've long been annoyed with Jesse's 'I can't live with what I've done/seen' act. I don't sympathize. Although that scene where he just sits there as Badger tells the story of the Star Trek pie-eating contest was actually pretty funny.

    Does anybody think that the ricin Walter retrieves in the opening sequence is meant for himself?

    I sure do. I think he is going to take it, and then go out blasting away with the gun

    As for the show, I've said this other places but I really think that Lydia and the other "moving parts" will come into play. You don't just leave something like that without a **** ton of leverage or some repercussions.

    For Lydia, Jesse, or Hank would be my guess. I don't see walt as being suicidal. BB is good at keeping everyone guessing. Who afterall realized the plane thing?

    I thought about that, but it doesn't really make any sense. So, no.

    Walter White may have been suicidal (tried to kill himself at the end of the pilot), but Heisenberg is not. I'm thinking the ricin may be intended for a group of people at once.

    I actually didn't realize this til recently, but the plane crash was pretty much given away in the episode titles for anyone who had enough time on their hands to analyze them. "Seven Thirty-Seven," "Down," "Over," "ABQ"

    Will be interesting to see where next weeks episode goes. We haven't hit Walt on the run or that need for Ricin yet, so we have a long time to go here. i think the more interesting story line is the Dutch or whatever one. I think that may be in the end what makes Walt go on the run.

    It's hard to imagine Lydia not sending Todd and the Nazis after the White family at this point.
